🎭 The Jewish themes in Wicked and what it’s like to produce a once-in-a-lifetime Broadway show
🎬 Developing the groundbreaking film Philadelphia and pushing for social change in Hollywood
🏆 His experience at the 97th Academy Awards and how the industry is evolving, and not always for the better
🎤 Why so many Hollywood Jews have been silent since October 7th—and his take on private vs. public responses to antisemitism
🕊️ How trauma and loss deepened his connection to God and Jewish faith, shaping his outlook on life
