No Small Parts A Broadway Boys Podcast

The boys are back in town - and that town is New York City! This week, we hop on the pod to talk though Brian’s grand return to the Great White Way. We cover 6 SHOWS! Theatre etiquette, flaccid pyrotechnics, Bri’s leather jacket, “The Elphaba Incident” and we do our best Ari as Glinda impressions.

In the season 2 finale, the boys wrap up Wet Hot American Jukebox Musical Summer with the critically panned We Will Rock You. Both Matt and Bri recount how this show really rocked their socks off, but are left questioning why? What drug did they put in this show that made us love it so much? Was it our mutual love of Erica Peck that kept us rushing back?

This is the penultimate episode of our Wet Hot American Jukebox Musical Summer and we’re chatting about Moulin Rouge, the musical that told Glee, “hold my beer” and threw the jukebox off the roof. Is this sparkling diamond a feast for the eyes or does it make you feel like a plastic bag…?

This week, Matt revisits a show they both saw and did not like. BUT after digging a bit deeper into this dreary, depressing and not-so-average jukebox musical,  has Matt Stockholm’d himself into liking it? Can he convince Bri to like it too? Only one way to find out…

This week Brian and Matt take it way back and dig up their Jagged Little Pill cassette tapes and talk about how that album really meant something to both of them, then Brian ruins it all by telling Matt how much he hated the musical.

Heads up before you listen: this musical dives into arguably too many subjects one of them being sexual assault & we do touch on that topic in this episode.

This week Matt takes Bri though what he can remember of is $18 Head Over Heels experience, but the details are a bit foggy (probably because of the liquid dinner they had pre-show). Did Matt ‘get up and Go-Go?’ Was it a ‘vision of nowness?’ You will have to listen because ‘our lips are sealed.’
