All I can say is this podcast is so amazing! Not a huge fan of podcasts but after this podcast, I am discovering the art of listening to these. The only thing I have to suggest is maybe spend a little more time to explain the plot more, for those who have never heard the musicals before. I am a HUGE theatre geek and know all of them, but I have introduced my friends and family to this podcast and it is their request that you might want to detail it more, but overall? Great podcast. 👎🏻

Broadway is King ,

Great listen!

I just discovered this podcast, and I am quickly burning through the back catalogue. It gives an inside perspective to what’s going on broadway now.
