Throughout the political turbulence of the 1960s, one Broadway musical served as a lightning rod for the controversy surrounding the Vietnam War, the ‘64 presidential election, and the civil rights movement. That’s right, it’s, um, [checks notes] … Hello, Dolly? We also cover the ultimate Quirky Diva Showdown of Streisand vs. Channing: Carol may have won the battle, but Barbra won the war (or did she???).

Now that all the assorted beauties and beasts are out of the way, we take a look at the rest of the season, which was a great year if your name was Rodgers and/or Hammerstein but not so much if your name was Tommy Tune.

We’re back to the 90s! We wonder what the hell Anthony Hopkins was doing there, discuss the controversy over Disney’s first bid for Broadway domination with Beauty and the Beast, and try our best to deconstruct Passion’s take on passion.

Update about our brief hiatus, see you in May!

What do McCarthyism, Charlie Chaplin, I Love Lucy, Catfish, Sister Act, Andrew Cunanan, John & Yoko, and the Caroline or Change extended universe have to do with Bells Are Ringing, The Most Happy Fella, and Li’l Abner? That’s for us to know and you to find out.

MLT takes on MFL! We use the lack of ceremony for ‘57 as an excuse to go deep on My Fair Lady, with a healthy sprinkling of Candide and Long Day’s Journey Into Night. We get X-rated while discussing the S&M subtext of Henry and Eliza’s relationship (plus drop the c-bomb while quoting Rex Harrison), get to the bottom of Candide’s dozens of credited lyricists, and put a request out into the universe for a Fosse/Verdon for the Golden Age.

We debate whether Something Rotten! is mocking or celebrating musical history, trace The Visit’s long road and short stay, and celebrate Kelli O’Hara’s sixth-time’s-the-charm win for The King and I. Plus: more dream (and nightmare) threesomes, a couple of failed attempts to find a “What?!”, and maybe a little too much joshing at Josh Groban’s expense.

Caption: The 2015 Tony Awards! Harvey Weinstein’s hideous, smug face forces us to reflect on how much the world has changed in the last four years. We also talk about the highs and lows of adapting stage-resistant source material with Fun Home, An American in Paris, and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time; get carried away by On the Town; and work in references to everything from Beloved to “The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia.” Follow us on Twitter and Instagram (@mylittletonys) for additional content about this season’s shows!

We sift through the leftovers of the 1984 Tony awards, discussing the classically trained roots of the Carlton dance, why even Chita and Liza couldn’t save The Rink, and what David and Zosia Mamet talk about at Thanksgiving. Plus, we excavate the source of an obscure Simpsons joke for this edition of “What?!” Follow us on Twitter and Instagram (@mylittletonys) for additional content about this season’s shows!

Sunday SUNDAY Sunday! Two down-on-their-luck titans face off in the battle that ROCKED the eighties! It’s Georges versus Georges! Drag queens versus dots! Hummin' Jerry Herman versus Stone Cold (according to the critics) Steve Sondheim! WHO will reign victorious in this knock-down drag-out no-holds-barred fight to return to Broadway glory? Find out this Sunday SUNDAY Sunday (by the blue purple yellow red water)!
