Random Pursuit: Musicals
Well friends, after four years of Corner of the Sky, this podcast is going on indefinite hiatus. But to leave on a high note, we’ve got a full game show episode! Moisés Chiullán, Brian Hamilton, David Loehr, Jean MacDonald, and Shelly Brisbin are competing in a custom version of Random Pursuit that’s ALL musicals. Also, this episode includes a mini-game: try to count how many times Quinn makes a mistake! It turns out that Random Pursuit is a deceptively complicated game to keep track of, and Erika Ensign actually has superpowers....

Customer Reviews
A Musical Fan’s Must-Listen
This podcast is so much fun! A very personal and anecdotal lens where Broadway’s most popular musicals are celebrated, critiqued, and analyzed by fans like you! Quinn is a fantastic host with a smooth and lovely voice. I strongly recommend the episodes about Spelling Bee, Wicked, Beauty and the Beast, and Grease: High School Edition.
Great
As a casual fan of musicals I enjoy this show as an introduction to shows that I've never seen or heard. The hosts and guests have been great so far.
Huge Musical Fans
Quinn and Caroline are huge fans of musical theater and it shows immediately. Tune in for their takes on favorite versions and songs, some critical analysis of problematic elements, and some light teasing with regards to which choral parts are superior. #BaritonesAreBest
As a former school musical singer, this show fills me with nostalgia, which is fun. I'm hoping they cover more musicals that are in my Top Four!
