  • My favorite podcast

    I can’t say enough about how much I love this podcast. I’m a 91 year old theatre enthusiast that can’t attend my favorite pastime as often as I wish. In my next life I’d want to be Peter Filichia’s girlfriend (and I wouldn’t leave early). Thanks to you all for your wit and knowledge and especially for making me feel a part of the conversation

  • Great For The 80+ Set?

    I mean…if there was ever any doubt that this podcast was for the oldest of the old, just listen to these curmudgeons talk about “Heathers”. Apparently the lead character’s name is Rebecca & not Veronica? I guess they can’t hear lyrics or read Playbills anymore either. And enthusiasm in the theatre should be curtailed for THEIR comfort? My grandparents have more connection to life in 2025 than any of these folks…& my grandparents are dead. So yes, if you’re retired & are afraid of loud sound... more

  • Daily episodes aren’t great anymore.

    Long time listener here but won’t be listening to the daily episodes anymore. I really liked having a podcast where I could get theatre news on my commute home each day. Lately the format seems to have shifted. I appreciate opinions about shows, but they’re should at least be respectful? Don’t preach about supporting theatre and then talk trash about shows does you personally didn’t enjoy. You’re no better than the NYT critic you constantly complain about. If it wasn’t already clear, I’m referri... more

  • Love the show!

    I live 4 hours north of Los Angeles I travel frequently to see musicals and other performing arts. This podcast helps me feel connected, helps me discover shows that will eventually tour in my area. It also fuels my periodic trips to NY where I pack I. Nearly as many shows as Matt. The Charles Busch interview warmed my heart.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

All the Drama: “The Piano Lesson”, 1990 Winner, Pulitzer Prize for Drama
Q: Could you tell us how you first became interested in August Wilson and his work?
Patty Hartigan explains her early exposure to Wilson through pre-Broadway productions, the excitement of witnessing his plays in Boston, and how those live experiences shaped her understanding of his significance.
This Week on Broadway for August 16, 2026: The Winter’s Tale @ Delacorte Theater
Q: What was the brain teaser last week's episode about, and what is its answer?
Last week's brain teaser involved two musicals based on novels that became films; each musical closed on the East and West Coasts, with four-word titles where the final two words are identical. The answer related to Gone with the Wind and Whistled Down the Wind, with the fulfillment involving the opening numbers and related timelines.
Special Episode: Kennedy Caughell on telling her life story with ‘Just the Beginning’
Q: How is recording an album different from building and performing a character in a musical, and what changes did you notice in the process?
She notes that the album is a purely auditory experience versus the live, acting-driven context of a show; she had to self-monitor in headphones, focus on the storytelling, and rely on orchestration and collaborators rather than scene partners to convey emotion.
Special Episode: Kennedy Caughell on telling her life story with ‘Just the Beginning’
Q: How did you approach selecting and arranging the songs for the album to tell a cohesive story?
Kennedy explains that she gathered a large pool of songs from fan input and her own desires, then aligned them to the narrative of her life and career, ultimately selecting tracks that fit the through-line while also exploring different styles and show moments.
Special Episode: Jamie Allan on the lessons of magic and ‘Amaze’
Q: What is something in this show that you hope audience members take away?
Audience members often leave with a renewed sense of wonder and nostalgia; many say they came for the magic but stayed for the story, and the show rekindles childhood feelings even for those who are initially skeptical.
