My Imaginary Broadway Friend episodes
- 40: Soul of a Demi-Demon (Kinky Boots)
When the stodgy loafers go away, DREAMWORK comes out to play! Join us for this very special episode where DREAMWORK, the demi-demon of waking nightmares, fills in for Wes, who is taking a nap!
cw: transphobia
1 hr 5 min - 39: Eliza Doolittle, Edwardian Gollum (My Fair Lady)
Get out your wattpads, because boy oh boy do we have an enemies-to-lovers fanfic for you!
(but not really, because Henry and Eliza don't belong together)
1 hr 9 min - 38: Give Heidi Blickenstaff Her Tony! ([title of show])
Today we're celebrating nine people's favorite thing on our very nine-people's-favorite-thing podcast: [title of show]! Note: if this is actually your favorite show, please let us know! We are desperately trying to find the nine people.
55 min - 37: Whose Fault Is This? (Mean Girls: The Musical)
If the previous 36 episodes didn't do it, this is definitely the one that will turn away our entire Gen Z audience. Spoiler alert: we don't love this musical!
cw: derogatory slurs toward women, underage sexting
1 hr 15 min - 36: A Hoover's a Hoover No Matter How Small (Once)
It's 2008, and you're slow dancing with your crush at the roller rink to "Falling Slowly"—the hit song from a little Irish movie that would one day become a Tony-winning Broadway sensation. It's our "Once" episode!
58 min - 35: Hey Boomers! (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical)
Do you love music from the 1960s and nothing else? Well boy oh boy have we got the musical for you!
(aka Elizabeth and Wes stan Carole King and Jessie Mueller and nothing else)
55 min - 34: Dancing Through Life? (Zorba)
Okay, so this isn't our Wicked episode. But wouldn't you also love to hear us pick apart an old movie from the 1960s and its accompanying musical adaptation?
Content warning: extreme physical and sexual violence against women; suicide
1 hr 5 min - 33: A Cruder Shakespeare in Love (Something Rotten!)
Welcome to the Renaissance, where everything is new and Wes and Elizabeth don't have that much to say about it. What can we say? This musical does its job.
No content warnings for this episode, but Elizabeth's audio is a little funky so apologies to your ears.
45 min - BONUS: Green Eggs... and Man? Episode 1
We're taking a break from our regularly-ish scheduled Broadway-themed programming to bring you the first episode of "Green Eggs... and Man?"—a new podcast by the (non-demigod) Weston Scott and the (non-demigod) Adam Niemann!
When Adam found out he was going to be a dad, he called his best friend, Wes, to help conquer the most essential parental task: the bedtime story! Each week, they read a single page of Dr. Seuss' Green Eggs and Ham to deem if it is appropriate for a newborn baby. They traverse complex thoughts such as the Hero's Journey, solipsism, and Sex and the City—until the book starts to gain a mind of its own!
36 min - 32: Diary of a John Gallagher Jr Fangirl (American Idiot)
The year is 2004: you've got your Vote for Pedro shirt, you're elbows-deep in Livestrong bracelets, and everyone is singing along to Green Day's "American Idiot". This week, Wes and Elizabeth pick apart this iconic album and the Broadway musical it eventually became. CW: substance abuse, war, suicide.
