Live Fully, Love Deeply: A Conversation with Broadway's Bret Shuford (Re-Post In Loving Memory)

Live Fully, Love Deeply: A Conversation with Broadway's Bret Shuford (Re-Post In Loving Memory)


Today's episode is a special re-post (from Meredith Patterson's previous podcast Confessions Of An Actress in 2021).

This repost is in loving memory of Broadway veteran and "Broadway Husbands" creator Bret Hanna-Shuford who passed away on January 3, 2026, after battling a rare and aggressive diagnosis involving HLH and T-cell lymphoma.

When Meredith recorded this conversation in 2021, Bret's spirit was unmistakable—warm, hilarious, heartfelt, and deeply real.

He shares his Broadway journey, what it means to keep choosing authenticity, and how connection and hope can carry us through the hardest seasons.

Listening now, his words feel even more powerful—like a time capsule of the kindness and courage he offered to the world so freely.

Bret is survived by his husband Stephen and their young son Maverick.

If you'd like to support Bret's family, a fundraiser has been organized on GoFundMe: "Support Bret Shuford's Battle with HLH & T-Cell Lymphoma" (benefiting Stephen and helping care for their family and expenses).

This re-post is shared with deep love and gratitude—for Bret's life, his light, and the beautiful ripple effect he leaves behind.
