THE TIME HAS COME. Tara and EmKay continue their journey into Broadway's smash hit musical, 2003's "Wicked The Musical"! Rabbit holes include playing a round of "Is this a Gershwin tune?" which EmKay doesn't exactly ace, diving into the writing process of "What is this Feeling?," celebrating the history of the Gershwin Theatre, and more.

Audio note: Please excuse the strange buzzing sound at 3:50-4:45.
Research note: The recording of "Bad Situation" was performed by Jennifer Laura Thompson as Galinda and Stephanie J. Block as Elphaba from 2008's The Yellow Brick Road Not Taken concert.
