We Didn't Block This

as nicki minaj once said: another day. (or another week, rather) this week, the ladies discuss the latest casting announcements of the dear evan hansen film for a third (and hopefully final) week. plus, laura takes the lead on a fun game where she challenges susannah and kayla to guess which popular musicals pass the bechdel test. the results might surprise you! spoiler alert: lin manuel miranda does pretty well.

AMY ADAMS [applause] this week, we're following up on some of the theatre news from last week! we're discussing which shows are eligible for the digital tony awards and the dear evan hansen movie casting takes a slightly redeeming turn. laura questions if the moulin rouge musical has rights, kayla discovers a new purpose in life in the form of a vintage phone, and apparently susannah wants to date the night stalker? plus, we take our very first in-depth look at a musical. our pick? shrek the musical. (aka a staple in sutton foster's resume)  this episode of we didn't block this is dedicated to chadwick boseman. a legend, an inspiration, and a king. rest in power.  

and because kayla totally didn't forget to mention this at the end of the episode:

CHANDELIERS, CONFLICTING STATEMENTS and RICH OLD MEN, oh my! another week, another we didn't block this. kayla puts on her dramaturg hat once again and journeys across the pond to answer the question: "is the phantom of the opera really closing on the west end?" and discovers a brewing feud between the united kingdom's most powerful theatre makers. laura and susannah plot to force kayla to watch that cats movie, we attempt to cast jason derulo in a better musical and raise another important question: do we really need phantom of the opera when theatres open back up?

laura, kayla, and susannah welcome you to the very first episode of we didn’t block this! kayla tries her hand at dramaturgy with a thrilling retelling of beetlejuice's premature closing. along the way, we attempt to understand the true scope of hugh jackman’s star power, side-eye the broadway rumor mill, and hope people quarantined on cruise ships are okay!
