Breaking the Curtain

Dearest Listeners,

We’ve been following the drama and lawsuit surrounding B&B's The Unofficial Bridgerton Musical that has taken place over the past few days as we know most of you listening have done as well. It’s a bit confusing, so we thought we would make a little episode chatting about what has gone down and our thoughts.

We wish to echo that all of this has been made public knowledge within the media and internet and we personally cannot be 100% certain of anything that has been released as we have no personal involvement.

For one episode... And one episode only; Mamma Mia: the Show History!

Honey-honeys, in this episode, we’re taking you on a journey with us to a little Greek island known as Kalokairi!

Based on the music of ABBA, Mamma Mia! follows the story of 20-year-old Sophie as she is ready to get married to her fiancée Sky, except for one thing - she has never met her father and wants him present for the big day to walk her down the aisle. She invites three men whom she discovers in her mother’s diary.

Join us as we discuss how a jukebox musical became a global phenomenon with two stellar films!

In this latest Show History episode, we chat all about The Last Five Years, our personal opinions on the relationship between the two characters, the film version and the real-life marriage that inspired the hit musical. 

The Last Five Years is an emotionally powerful and intimate musical about two New Yorkers in their twenties who fall in and out of love over the course of five years. The show’s unconventional structure consists of Cathy, telling her story backwards while Jamie, tells his story chronologically; the two characters only meet once, at their wedding in the middle of the show.
