A musical theatre educomedy podcast
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.
In this episode, Warren and K take a break from the bizarre musicals that they have been reviewing to watch a classic. Warren creates a new, horrifying creature and K forgets Alan Jay Lerner’s name as they watch My Fair Lady!
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!
There are a lot of tangents in this one, folks, so buckle up!
In this episode, Warren is introduced to the Mary Martin version of Peter Pan and let’s just just say, he’s not a big Pan Fan. Included in the discussion: Does physics exists in the Peter Pan Universe? What really happens to Lost Boys when they grow up? What the heck is with Peter Pan’s origin story?
In this episode, Warren finally sees West Side Story and learns that the gangs were the Sharks and the Jets – not the Cobras and … Who knows what he thought the other gang was called! It’s time for dancing, dancing, and even more dancing as K and Warren watch West Side Story!
Hey all, this episode is a little different from normal. Not as many goofs in this one because Godspell brought up some emotions.
K introduces Warren to their favorite show, Godspell, and Warren … he has his own views. This one is less jokes and more feelings as we try to balance our own personal experiences with religion and musical theatre. We promise we will have more goofs next week!
Bless your Beautiful Hide! In this Episode, Warren finally sees Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and … well, the title of this episode speaks for itself! Listen as K admits to their pre-internet fandom life while Warren changes the main character’s name again.
It’s our second Webber Week!
In this episode: Warren experiences the Broadway Acid Trip that is Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat while K learns that their upbringing in a Lutheran School has still not prepared them for the questions asked by Warren. It’s a Vacation Bible School Mishap of epic proportions!
In Today’s Episode: K teaches Warren what the Peanut Gallery is, Warren learns that Arthur Whitelaw is a name people have (it makes sense in context), and K and Warren begin the journey into musicals about comic strips as they watch You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown!
WARNING: Warren uses the F-word a couple of times and really tests our rating. But it is warranted because this show is a doozy!
In this episode, Warren and K delve deep into the world of tabloid monsters as they uncover the “true” story of West Virginia’s chiropterancryptid. Make sure you have you rabies shot, because we’re watching Bat Boy!
