PRODUCER BIO The Fabulous Invalid is a theatrical production company founded in 2018 by Jamie DuMont and Rob Russo with the mission to illuminate untold stories and fascinating personalities on air and on stage with a reverence for the past, a bold outlook for the future, and a dash of panache. The company takes its name from the title of a 1938 backstage play by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart that has since become a loving nickname for Broadway itself—always deemed on the verge of decline, yet always bouncing back: the fabulous invalid! Projects to date include The Wiz and Bob Fosse's Dancin' on Broadway, Call Fosse at the Minskoff, and Broadway Barbara Live! Off-Broadway (SoHo Playhouse), in addition to four podcasts for the Broadway Podcast Network, and several additional projects in development. |
