Show Notes
It's beyond privilege to record an episode about a musical with the writers of said musical, and that is exactly what we have this week!
To celebrate last season's WATER FOR ELEPHANTS debut in the licensing world, Tony-nominee Rick Elice (JERSEY BOYS, PETER AND THE STARCATCHER, SMASH) as well as three members of innovative theatre team PigPen Theatre Co. (THE OLD MAN AND THE OLD MOON) join us to spend a little more time "under the Big Top" of their epic show. Their decade's long journey of imagination and creativity (with plenty of Rick stories along the way) will leave you excited to mount a production of your own.

Sometimes, the 90s really got it right. And the musical BRING IN 'DA NOISE, BRING IN 'DA FUNK is a great example.
When you explore a blockbusterlike Hamilton, you end up talking as much about the revolution behind the musical as the one inside it.
"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. Please take advantage of our amenities, including the wonderful acting coach, performer and influencer, Spencer Glass, whose entire personality might be derived from seeing this show several times between the ages of 12 and 15.
