Episode 143 - Epiphany
The end of the 70s and, in some ways, the end of an era. Starting with Cabaret, we have traced the changes happening in theater in the wake of the end of the Golden Age. More mature themes and language, less traditional storytelling, new kinds of music, and simply a broader range of acceptable topi…
Episode 144 - Memory
A new day has begun, indeed. The 1980s brought many changes to Broadway, especially the arrival of the London-import megamusical that would run, well, seemingly forever, and its champion, Andrew Lloyd Webber. Join us we talk about how Broadway was changing, how Cats fed into that, and try to pinpoi…

Broadwa…
Episode 148 - Circle of Life

Disney's The Lion King was perhaps the least likely of its properties to become an extremely long-running -- and critically acclaimed -- stage adaptatatio…
Episode 149 - I Wanna Be a Producer
We enter the 21st century with The Producers, one of the biggest things ever to hit The Great White Way. A combination of Mel Brooks' genius, classical musical comedy trops, and the star power of Broadway vets Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick, the show feels like a throwback to an earlier time -- …
