    Eulogy of Sleep No More (Plus, Here Lies Love)

    Eulogy of Sleep No More (Plus, Here Lies Love)

    A massive two-parter of a podcast that should last you through the winter! Joe and Jeff talk theater with friends - including an in-depth look at Sleep No More, the theater show that inspired the Star Wars Galactic Star Cruiser.

    Part 1 - Sleep No More (0:00:00)

    Joe and Jeff are joined by Kyle to discuss the immersive theater production Sleep No More. After over 5000 performances spanning over a decade, the show is scheduled to close later this year. What is it? How did it begin? What is its future? This is a thorough look at the show knowing it will be closing in the coming months. Remember, you can never go back to Manderley again.

    Part 2 - Here Lies Love (2:21:30)

    Jeff and Joe talk about the short-lived but incredible Here Lies Love on Broadway. This immersive disco musical puts theater viewers in the middle of a disco as the story of Imelda Marcos plays out - from her rise to power and fall as a corrupt dictator to the hands of a peaceful revolution. Joe gets drunk as he lays it all on the line for this show.

Less Alan

Pains me to only give Parkscope three stars, Joe n the guys are awesome, but it’s gone downhill since Alan joined the fold. The Orlando-related content is limited these days, mostly just endless regional park/coaster talk from that guy’s trips. Still good stuff and worth a listen I suppose, but not quite what it used to be

Great Theme Park (and skiing) Podcast

I really enjoy listening to the Parkscope guys and their creative podcasts, from varying hosts, topics and locations (sometimes even recording while on long road trips). As someone who loves to travel to theme parks and ski areas worldwide, I especially appreciate Alan's international trip reports and Alex's ski trip reports (this is the only podcast I know of that includes ski trip reports - a huge bonus in my book!). Keep up the good work guys!

Super negative

I started listening based on a recommendation for Disney podcasts. My impression is that the hosts are negative and primarily use this as their outlet for Disney grievances and complaints.
