Musicals with Cheese

We're welcoming back a Musicals with Cheese favorite, our first guest EVER joins yet again to talk about the comedy musical of the mid oughts -- it's BRENT BLACK -- and we're talking about THE WEDDING SINGER?! Is this an unloved comedy classic that didn't get the right attention when it first premiered? Is this performance from Laura Benanti so miscast? Maybe? Does Jess like Stephen Lynch? Nope. Come along with us!

"Walk with me, walk with me..." This week we're revisiting one of our earliest episodes, where I'd say this adaptation addresses many of Andrew DeWolf's original critiques of the musical "Next to Normal" and removes a lot of the more black and white takes regarding mental health. But we're not alone this time. Today we're joined by the hilarious comedian Erin Cholakian to talk about the rock musical Next to Normal.
