The brand-new musical “Swept Away” opened on Broadway this week. It tells a dark story of salvation and brotherhood at sea, with music from chart-topping siblings The Avett Brothers. They’ve been selling out arenas for more than two decades. Seth and Scott Avett joined the show earlier this week to discuss what it’s like seeing their work performed on the Broadway stage. Joining them, actor and “Swept Away” star John Gallagher Jr. told us why this project is so special to him.
Originally aired on November 22, 2024
