Welcome to the No Small Parts podcast, hosted by Matt & Brian. These self proclaimed musical theatre nerds set out to explore the forgotten, misunderstood or infamous-in-a-good-way musicals in the Broadway canon. Each week one of the boys will be the 'expert' and assign the other a cast recording they have never heard. We will get their first reaction and see if they can explain what is going on. The expert will then take us through the production history, audience reception, and finally reveal the plot and themes of the musical. We hope you enjoy the show!

    Intermission Chat

    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.

    It Is Scaramouche How Much We Love WWRY

    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?

    Just Because You Can Can, Doesn’t Mean You Should Should

    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…?

    Our Minds, They are A’Changing

    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…

    Hard to Swallow

    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.

    We Got The Beat & Lost The Plot

    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.’

    Where We Go Again!

    Welcome to Season Two, drama club! Hope you saved your quarters because our summer program will be all about the jukebox musical. First up is Mamma Mia!, the musical that started the jukebox craze on Broadway. Find out why this Italian musical is set in Greece and not Sweden, why the fourth mystery dad might be Heavenly and the possible title for Mamma Mia 3. Get ready for a walk down the aisle you’ll never forget!

    Phantom 2: The Phantom Menace

    In the final episode of season one we see a glimmer of hope on the horizon as Broadway announces shows will be back this fall. Does this mean that the Jar Jar Binks of musicals, Love Never Dies has a 4th chance at a Broadway debut? Is it a sequel or is it a companion piece, we aren't really sure, but Matt and Brian sure have a lot of questions.
