I’ve seen it happen more than once.
A sub comes in, plays the show, and never gets the call again. Not because the chops weren’t there. Because nobody told them what everyone in that pit already expected them to know.
I spent years learning this the hard way. Missteps. Missed signals. Shows where I played fine and still felt like I left something on the table.
So I built the system I wish I’d had.
The Broadway Sub Playbook is a short, sharp guide to what actually matters when you’re subbing on Broadway. Preparation, trust, and how you handle that first show when everything is on the line. Not theory. Not inspiration. A real tool you can use before your next call.
It’s $7.99. It’s built from 26 years of doing this for real.
