Maybe Happy Ending, take 2! After a slight recording mishap, we're back and Lauren takes us on a deep dive of this Tony winning show. We go down a lot of tangents, talk about fireflies (lightening bugs), and what it means to give something up to hold on to it.

Buckle up - this is a weird one... Karen skims the surface of this classic musical, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers! How can you make a musical about kidnapping seem romantic? You can't! But damn if those ABC brothers weren't great dancers!

We revisit The Comedy About Spies more in depth this week! It hits all the spy troupes and it's funny! But also the twists! Double crosses! Triple crosses! Here's hoping it comes to Broadway.

This week we welcome friend of the pod, Logann, to chat all things Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Is Joseph a good dude? Were his brothers right to throw him down a well? Does this musical/biblical story teach us anything? Let us know!
