Show Notes
When you explore a blockbusterlike Hamilton, you end up talking as much about the revolution behind the musical as the one inside it.
Today we welcome someone who understands both personally: actor and longtime Lin-Manuel Miranda collaborator Mandy Gonzalez (IN THE HEIGHTS, WICKED, SUNSET BOULEVARD). Not only did Mandy play Angelica Schuyler in HAMILTON over the span of six years, she often had a front row seat to its creation.
In this episode, we reflect on Mandy's career thus far and how the friends and family we meet along the way are often the key ingredients behind every revolution.
Visit mandygonzalez.com to find tickets to her next performance of Everything I Know: Mandy Gonzalez sings Lin-Manuel Miranda. You can also follow her on Instagram at @mandy.gonzalez.

Sometimes, the 90s really got it right. And the musical BRING IN 'DA NOISE, BRING IN 'DA FUNK is a great example.
"Just one day is all we need, to debut a brand new podcast..." That's a lie, it always takes longer than a day, but this episode was worth the wait!
Welcome to GRAND HOTEL! During your stay, we hope you'll enjoy the complimentary stories of how this musical took thirty years to premiere on Broadway.

Today is the day! After a few attempts at the Flop Shoppe, our PATREON! subscribers voted earlier this year to give the musical BIG its own episode on "A Musical Theatre Podcast." This show is often known as one of the biggest financial flops of all time. But since we know "flop" isn't a bad word, there's definitely more to the story.
