"Who is the man you can't ignore, it's SUPERMAN! From Budapest to Baltimore it's SUPERMAN!"

Alan and Rob are joined once again by long-time friend of the show Matt Truex as they delve into the weird and wonderful history of the ill-fated (and yet indestructible) 1966 Broadway musical version of Superman.

Fascinating connections with the Superman movie series! Problematic villains! Questionable deviations from the source material! All of these oddities abound, culminating in what may in fact be the strangest piece of Superman media ever: the 1975 TV special adaptation of the musical! Get ready for some hot takes! 

Later, Matt unearths a diamond in the rough - the 2010 Dallas revival of the musical which heavily adapted the original book, creating a brand new story far closer to the Superman legend so near and dear to our hearts. You won't want to miss this!

Be sure to send us any thoughts you have on the Broadway musical, YOUR favourite musicals (superhero or otherwise) or even a voicenote of you belting our your favourite musical numbers!
