Thank You, Five

We're still wintering in the Hamptons with Big Edie and Little Edie and their army of racoons and cats! It's act 2, which means we're heavy into the documentary territory recreation and out of fantasy land. What caused the rift between the two? Can one have cake AND eat it? What's up with Jerry?

We're donning our revolutionary costumes for today and are taking you back in time to discuss Grey Gardens! Act 1 is all about Big Edie overshadowing Little Edie during her engagement announcement to Joe Kennedy Jr and the fallout that happens during all of that. Join us out in the Hamptons during this winter in that summer town!

We take a holiday break to talk a bit about an intellectual property that includes musical theater and is associated with Christmas in England, but not necessiarly together. We're talking Peter Pan, the history of the IP, what IS a panto, and why this isn't really a thing in the US.

We're rounding out November with the second act of Mack and Mabel with author and podcaster Emily J. Edwards!

We finish off spooky month with the second act of Gentleman's Guide!!! Who's killing the D'Ysquiths? Why didn't this podcast episode come out on time? Will Monty marry Phoebe or Sybella? All of these questions might be answered on this podcast!!!

This October we're talking about MURDER and DEATH and maybe sorta LOVE. It's The Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder! See how one actor plays 500 different roles like that one TikToker renacting Rock Island from the Music Man! Gush over the legitimate singing! Shudder at the horrific deaths of the D'Ysquith family members!

We're back and we're just a big brass band for daddy! Join Matt and David as we finish up Sweet Charity! Will Charity find love? Will she admit her job to Oscar? Will they ever not be trapped somewhere?

In this era of Brat Summer, we're gonna talk about the ultimate musical theater queen of Brat Summer, Charity Hope Valentine! Who is she? What's a taxi dancer? What is my motivation during Hey Big Spender? All of these questions and more!
