However, after working on the project for over a year with ALW, she opened up the New York Times to discover she was fired. What did she learn from that experience and how did it inform her decades-long career as a successful artist and song writer? Tune in!

Following its original runs, Sunset has enjoyed a solid, if complicated, road to regional theatre. Joining this episode are two Chicago-based actors, and real-life couple, Heidi Kettenring and David Girolmo, who were in the first regional production of the show at The Marriott Theatre outside of Chicago.

From the publisher's feed
It was more than just a musical. It was a cultural juggernaut. The Hamilton of its time. And the powerhouse production machine behind it would ensure nothing was in its way to make it a hit. And along…
