57. The Toxic Avenger

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
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
