"I've always been shy!"
Broadway Breakdown goes into the 1950's with the Golden Age wunderkind Charles Kirsch (host of Backstage Babble)! Matt and Charles discuss the rowdy "not your typical fairy tale" musical ONCE UPON A MATTRESS. Both wholesome and rowdy, the musical has been popular for decades but has only had one Broadway revival...and Matt thinks for a good reason! The two also discuss the importance of casting, Mary Rodgers, and why attractive people are rarely funny. NORMANDY, KIDZ!
