BIG with Alex Asp

A Musical Theatre Podcast

Show Notes

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.

Join guest Alex Asp (THE LITTLE THINGS YOU HEAR TOGETHER) as we dive into the magical realism of musicals and puberty and everything in between!

Be sure to follow @littlethingsyouheartogether on Instagram, so you don't miss an episode of Alex's show.
