Comedian and the Broadway Baby himself Alex Fossella is here for mainly a talk about Waitress. But we also talk about Hamilton, Rent, Sunday in the Park with George, Carousel, and other random things that cross the transom of our mutual minds.

Topics include: problematic subplots, over-respect for source material, awkward sex scenes in musicals, and metaphors and the people who use them.
