This week on Sheltered Sages, Andrew and Philip take centerstage as they dive into the wonderfully dramatic world of musical theater culture—where the real conflict isn’t on the stage, but in the audience. From dealing with unexpected sing-along superfans to navigating the social pressureof attending shows you’re just not feeling, the Sages explore the unspoken rules, the passionate fandoms, and the awkward moments that make the theater experience unforgettable. With their signature blend of humor and thoughtful insight, they break down why musicals bring out such big emotions—and even bigger dilemmas. Take your seats; the overture is starting.
