This Week on Broadway for July 7, 2019: Martin Charnin

Revised July 9, 2019 We made a mistake. We did a terrible thing. In Peter Filichia's review of "Camp Morning Wood", there were demeaning references to the cast which were uncalled for, and had no place in the review. It should have never made it to the public, and for that I am to blame. My apologies go out to Anthony Logan Cole and the cast of Camp Morning Wood. I hope that you know how sorry I am that we let everyone down. We have removed the review of Camp Morning Wood from the download, and left the rest of the discussions in place. Best Regards, James Marino, Owner, BroadwayRadio   ----------------------------------------------- Peter Filichia, James Marino, and Michael Portantiere talk about Martin Charnin's passing.
