Easy & The Critic

In this episode we explore the great David Yazbek's "The Band's Visit". We can't quite decide if it's a true story, Easy quietly makes his thoughts known about a certain porifera coming to Broadway, and The Critic can't speak (maybe she should change her mind from her opinion in the opening). Enjoy!

In this episode we look at The Roundabout Theater's production of "Time and the Conways". Easy & The Critic admit to something heinous but we hope you'll agree that the end justifies the beans! (musical theater joke there...)

In this episode, everybody wins a Tony award, The Critic remembers studying "M. Butterfly" while at University, and Easy is talked out of taking Aunt Susie to the show. Enjoy.

In this episode, Easy is trying desperately to prove that he has a reason to (academically) be part of this podcast, which of course starts with an obtuse allusion to Tenacious D (see if you can catch it), the Critic points out that "Easy the Youngest" pronounces a certain website with flair, and there is a lot of distracting coughing (apologies). And, oh yeah, we discuss Bedlam's "Peter Pan" a bit.

In this episode, we examine "Charlie And The Chocolate Factory" a new musical version of the Roald Dahl classic. We discuss dancing Oompa Loompas, the indefatigable Christian Borle, and both Easy and The Critic are going to blow your minds with what they thought of it all. Well done, Basil.

In this episode, we discuss the Off-Broadway play "In & Of Itself" which is produced by Neil Patrick Harris. Further, Easy uses remarkable diction, The Critic makes the word "nice" sound like it's done something to her in a past life, and we explore that subject of subjects...what to do with out of town guests. Enjoy.

This episode is short, in fact we didn't even do bloopers at the end so that you could run out and immediately see "The Play That Goes Wr

In this episode, The Critic gets real excited about her point of view, Easy takes the word "hankerin'" to a new level, and we make an inside joke about "the message kids" (see Sunset Blvd.). The critic makes reference to some homework on your part and here's a start https://youtu.be/virv-1o2KjE. Enjoy our take on "Prince of Broadway".

In this episode, we bring you our take on Barrow Street Theatre's "Sweeney Todd" or at least the version that Easy came around to eventually. While we saw understudies for the man who was Broadway's first black Phantom (Norm Lewis) and the man who played the oxymoronically hilarious Nostradamus (Brad Oscar) we still thought...well, you'll just have to listen. Also, we make a reference to "having a little priest." This is a show joke, mom.

In this episode, The Critic (in what will surely be the start of a running joke) bestows her intellectual opinion on the rest of us while Easy forces a correction in this paragraph to note that "The Powder & the Glory" is the documentary on which this musical is based, while the source material book is called War Paint; quelle surprise. Wow,... our most boring show notes yet! Enjoy.
