Interview with Devon Goffman star Some Like Hot Tour

About this episode

Devon Goffman discusses his experiences as a Broadway performer and the impact of art and community on resilience.

On this episode of Destination Freedom: Black Radio Days – The Eclectic, we go behind the curtain with Devon Goffman — a seasoned Broadway stage veteran whose résumé reads like a greatest hits of musical theater. His voice and presence have lit up theaters from Jersey Boys to Motown the Musical, and now as Spats Colombo in Some Like It Hot…the Tony Award–winning musical comedy that’s been lighting up stages coast to coast. Devon gets real about life on the road…the ups, the downs, and what keeps him going from city to city. He talks about finding inspiration and community in places like Denver, working side by side with his wife, and what it’s like playing the villain that everyone secretly loves. And through it all, he reminds us how laughter, music, and a good show can help lighten even the heaviest days. It’s a conversation about art, resilience, and the healing power of performance — and one you don’t want to miss it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
