Birth of a Show (w/ Ian Brennan - Part 1)

You joined us as we relived the magic of McKinley High by watching all six seasons of Glee&hellip; and now we&rsquo;re keeping the music going.
This time, we&rsquo;re stepping outside the choir room and diving into some of the most iconic musicals ever.
Think: Rocky Horror Picture Show. Grease. Hairspray. West Side Story. Moulin Rouge. Wicked. And of course, High School Musical.
But we&rsquo;re not stopping there - we&rsquo;ll also celebrate unforgettable musical TV projects like Smash, Nashville, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend&hellip; plus those surprise musical episodes of shows you already love, like Grey&rsquo;s Anatomy, Riverdale, and The Flash.&nbsp;
We&rsquo;ll be joined by cast members, musicians, and special guests to spill behind-the-scenes stories &hellip; plus the writers, creators, and friends who brought these projects to life.
And don&rsquo;t worry, we&rsquo;ll still have plenty of Glee surprises along the way.
If you&rsquo;re a fan of musicals - on the big screen, on TV, or anywhere in between - join us every week as we break down the songs, the stories, and the magic that made us all fall in love with musicals in the first place.
