Ok, we won’t have rap battles, but we do appreciate them. This week’s podcast is about musicals! Musicals,
if you don’t know, are plays in which, to quote Mack from the movie
Sabrina,“the actors periodically dance about and burst into song”. We
discuss our favorites, live shows we have attended, movie and television
musicals, and we devote some serious time to the musical phenomenon,
Hamilton. We tried not to sing too much. But there is a little singing.
We
ask the big questions: Listen to the soundtrack beforehand or wait?
Live performances or Movie adaptations? Just what makes musicals so
enjoyable anyway?
Big
mentions include Hamilton, Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, Disney
Musicals, Once More With Feeling (the Buffy Musical), Crazy Ex
Girlfriend, Smash, and Book of Mormon. Special feature: reminiscences
about our high school’s performances of The Music Man, Oklahoma!, and
Grease.
If you are a musical theater lover or novice, you might find something in here for you!
Extras:
Geek news about amazing new trailers and collaborations plus our random
recs: Yuri!!! on ICE and Crash Course on Youtube.
As always, our amazing intro/outro music is “We are Highscore” by Krackatoa.
