It's a big one to kick off the year! Bryan Plofsky and Kimberly Cooper Schmidt of the official Broadwaysted! podcast (where they're drunk on theatre) are here for a big musical that two of us love and one of us also loves but not as much as the first two which is fine but not really because this is the best musical ever.

Topics include: anti-heroes, shows that hold you at arms-length, Fosse/Verdon, and the Mandy of it all.

Featured recordings: Sunday in the Park with George - Original Cast (1985)

Here's a silly one to kick-off 2020. The title says it all. Well, not ALL. If it said it ALL then you wouldn't need the 9-minute episode, you'd just need the title.
