A new fiction podcast has recruited a cast of Broadway talents. Tony winner Ari'el Stachel (The Band's Visit) and current Waitress star Noah Galvin will star in the youth and LGBTQ-focused fiction show The Two Princes, due to drop just in time for pride month on June 4. Written by Kevin Christopher Snipes and directed by Mimi O’Donnell, the series follows Prince Rupert (Galvin) as he sets out to break the mysterious curse that's destroying his kingdom. He's ready to face whatever dastardly villain or vile monster stands in his way, but what he isn't prepared for is the bewildering new set of emotions he feels when he meets the handsome Amir (Stachel), a rival prince on a quest to save his own realm. Forced to team up, the two princes soon discover that the only thing more difficult than saving their kingdoms is following their hearts. Joining Stachel and Galvin in the voice cast is two-time Tony winner Christine Baranski, Tony winner Laura Benanti, two-time Tony nominee Daphne Rubin-Vega, Tony nominees Richard Kind and Omar Metwally, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Samira Wiley, Matthew Rhys, Mandi Masden, Alfredo Narciso, Sean Pertwee and CJ Wilson.
