  • Informative Theater News and Reviews

    I look forward to episodes of this podcast. Sometimes Michael’ “stick up the butt” arrogance rankles me a bit, but other than that, it gives me some good guidance on what I want to check out both on and off broadway when I make pilgrimage into the city.

  • 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

Jill Stern says she is excited to see the cast together after years producing the play. Steven Skybell says he feels eager despite some anxiety about meeting people and preparing for the short rehearsal process.
Special Episode: Zegree, Holmes on the joy and silliness of ‘The King’s Critique’
Q: What else do we need to know about the plot?
Josephine teams up with the cocky actor Sebastian to challenge the King's ban on women performing, but the kingdom's willingness to follow the King makes their plan difficult.
Special Episode: Zegree, Holmes on the joy and silliness of ‘The King’s Critique’
Q: So what was the germ of this idea?
The writers drew on the fable “The Emperor's New Clothes,” turning its story into an original musical that could combine their love of theater and comedy.
Special Episode: Timothy L. Michuda on the musicality of ‘Turing’
Q: But why was that narrative structure something that you thought would enhance what version of Turing's life you were actually trying to focus on?
The answer emphasizes that the three timelines act as a puzzle, mirroring the cracking of Enigma, with cyclical patterns of love, misunderstanding, and societal pressure that recur across his life, making the storytelling more resonant.
