Charge up your #TommySpiritBomb and prepare to try and understand the bizarre-ness that is Tommy. You’ll never look at baked beans the same way again!

Episode 20: Webber Week Three – The Jesus Double Feature
Are you ready to rumble?
This week, K and Warren take advantage of the Webber Week to pit Jesus Christ Superstar against reigning Jesus musical, Godspell. Apologies to Rocky Horror Picture show for the parody in the opening of the show but K couldn’t resist it. Also, the Garbage Pail Kids get brought up which … kinda makes sense in a weird way if you’ve seen the 1973 movie of Godspell.

This episode will be quite … Habit Forming! I’ll … I’ll show myself out.

Episode 18: Petroleum Jelly (The Grease one)
Warning: More swears than usual with this one. Probably not a good sign for the show we’re reviewing.
In this episode, K introduces Warren to Grease and … well, this is where we remind you that it’s ok if our opinions on shows differ. The Broadway Expanded Universe grows as the Jets and the Sharks meet the T-Birds.
Episode 17: I am the Very Model of a Mu-si-cal-ly Challenged Spouse
Admit it. You sang the title just now.
This week, Warren is introduced to his first Gilbert and Sullivan show, Pirates of Penzance! The Knights of Columbus are mentioned (because of course they are), and K and Warren debate what came first: The Looney Tunes or the Pirates.

Episode 15: Drug Trip, The Musical
WARNING: There is some lost audio in this one. We’re not sure what happened with it, but imagine something funny was said!
In this episode, K introduces Warren to Hair and Warren finally sees a show where some of the weird stuff actually can be blamed on drugs! It’s one heck of a Broadway Acid Trip this time! Learn about the counterculture of the 60’s and just how many ways an audience can react poorly to a show! Hint: one of the reactions had to do with a priest and some mice! What a piece of work is this show!
