A Little Night Music - Act 1
A podcast in the country! We wish we'd been asked!
Fresh from the flop (at the time) that was Follies, the team of Sondheim and Prince were looking for something more ... lighthearted and decided to look to both French farces and Bergman films. And we got A Little Night Music or as Clive Barnes, renouned theater critic proclaimed, "Good God! -- an adult musical!" -

Customer Reviews
Love Them!
Such great fun listening to them talk about some of my favorite musicals!
Brilliant
It’s so rare to be able to delve as deeply as we are able in this podcast! Thank you for investigating all corners of the theater world.
This is the definition of good content.
I came across the podcast via their twitter account, and I’m sure I’ve found my new podcast binge. I’ve noticed a sound issue however — sometimes there will be moments of silence with “mhm’s” mixed into it, and as a listener I’m left a little confused because it makes me wonder who’s thoughts and opinions are being left out! I hope it gets resolved soon!
