David Bushman Proves There’s No Expiration Date on a Theater Career
Episode 37
Monday, 8 December, 2025
Chicago is now celebrating 29 years on Broadway, with multiple national and international companies as well. And for more than two decades David Bushman has been a part of various Chicago productions around the world. But what makes David’s story remarkable isn’t just his longevity with the show—it’s the path that got him there. We talk about his early days in community theater, his unexpected move from a 17-year ballet career into musical theater, and the fact that he booked his first Broadway contract at the age of 50. He shows that “late bloomers” aren’t late at all—they’re just following a different rhythm. --- Why I’ll Never Make It is an independent production of WINMI Media and Patrick Oliver Jones.
