It is the 250th milestone episode of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast! Thank you to every one of my guests who took time out of their schedules to speak with me (and trusted my brand). I also want to thank all my listeners who listened and watched my conversations; I greatly appreciate it!

I am honored to welcome Drama Desk and Tony-winning producer Evan McGill for this milestone episode! Evan is the founder of Evan McGill Productions. He is a native of Boston, MA, and graduated from the University of Miami (FL) in 2006 with a BBA. Evan later received his MBA from Columbus State University and MIB from Florida International University. He began acting at age 6 in the Boston area and has been a theater fan for life! He was one of the owners of Knit-Rite, a Kansas City, KS-based medical device company manufacturing various medical textiles for different patient types. Evan and his partners sold that company in December 2020.

Since then, Evan McGill has been involved with various Broadway productions, including Mr. Saturday Night, Kimberly Akimbo, Parade (2023), and The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window(2023). He has produced several Broadway cast albums, including The Music Man: The 2022 Broadway Cast Recording and Funny Girl: New Broadway Cast Recording. Both albums reached number one on the Billboard Cast Albums chart.

In 2023, Evan received two Tony Award nominations for his role as a producer of Parade and The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window, respectively nominated for Best Revival of a Musical and Best Revival of a Play. He won a Tony Award for Parade at the 76th Tony Awards. Evan also received a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Revival of a Musical for Parade. He now splits his time between Kansas City and New York City. He loves traveling the world or seeing new productions staged outside of New York City, wherever they may be!

On this milestone episode of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Evan McGill shared how he got involved with Broadway and his involvement with Mr. Saturday Night, Kimberly Akimbo, and the 2023 revival of Parade.
