A Theatre Lover's Dream
This podcast is a theatre lover's dream! These short episodes pack a punch with theatre history throughout the years! I love hearing about Julie Andrews, Patti LuPone, & Nathan Lane!
Fun Learning????
Finally...a history lesson I thoroughly enjoy!!!!
Should this podcast replace all collegiate theatre history classes across the country?
YES PLEASE
Mark’s silly voices are so comforting during this time.
We need this historical account now more than ever. Excellent!
