Laura was kind enough to step in for this episode that was intentionally meant for Darcy so we thank her for her hard work and dedication as a drinkanator to the pod.

This episode is the timeline of the lives of Gwen Verdon and Bob Fosse who's continuous collaboration together throughout their careers changed how dance was done on the stage.

This is a true tunes episode so I explain what happens in the show then go into what I learnt from the book and what I googled.

If you’re interested by the stories in this show the book goes into heaps of other people’s stories so another reason to read it if you love this.

The songs I like from this musical are:

Welcome To The Rock

28 Hours/Wherever We Are (long song but a great journey)

I Am Here

In The Bar/Heave Away

Screech In

57. The Toxic Avenger

57. The Toxic Avenger

We welcome back fan favourite Darcy in this episode of a musical based on a cult classic horror movie from the 80s. The Toxic Avenger may surprise you to hear it has nothing to do with the MCU and may surprise you even more when you hear what Darcy has to think about it!!

36.StarKid: ANI: A Parody

In a galaxy, far, far away in Chicago an ambitious crossover made its way on to the internet. Star Wars on stage, how do they do it?

Well listen to this episode where I speak to Alexie (Episode 16, Rocky Horror Show) who I tell this musical too and he tells me the references and for some reason just yells out random quotes I don’t understand.

32. Carrie

32. Carrie

Can a show based on a Stephen King novel be a successful musical? Yes AND no would be the answer. Inspired by the podcast series “Out For Blood” I speak to my aunty Ali about the musical “Carrie”. Originally lasting only 2 weeks on broadway this musical still managed to grow a fanbase that help keep the show alive.

Wondering what the highlighted favourite songs I gave to my guest? Here they are:

- In

- Carrie

- The World According to Chris

- Do Me a Favor

27. Rent

27. Rent

Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes...
You should choose to spend some of those listening to this episode!
I speak with Ellen (Episode 9 Heathers) about the musical Rent. We have laughs, we have tears and all the emotions that Rent brings to those who watch it. The 2008 filmed broadway production is available to purchase on Youtube, OR there is also a movie adaption with many of the original broadway cast. I recommend both of them. It tells us the message that there is no day but today and to live as such.
Now I am OBSESSED with the songs from this musical, so my fave are listed below:
- One Song Glory
- Light My Candle
- You’ll See
- Life Support
- Out Tonight
- Another Day
- I’ll Cover You
- La Vie Boheme
- Seasons of Love
- Take Me or Leave Me
- I’ll Cover You (Reprise)
- What You Own
