Broadway Babies: A Musical Theatre Podcast
The Broadway Babies are back to the dirty streets of the Paris slums, in our second take on the classic, iconic musical theatre epic "Les Misérables." This week, we're hot-taking the 2012 movie musical, featuring plenty of Hollywood's biggest stars, out in the darkness. (Later this week, we'll also be posting on our Facebook page our video recording of this episode.)

There's always time for a song for the Broadway Babies! This week, we're going to keep looking at the wild AF hellscape corner of the internet with another fever-dream musical, the British children's show-surreal-horror-satire-web series "Don't Hug Me I'm Scared." So today, let's go on a journey and talk about about the ups and downs of learning to get creative while also learning to live in a society.

Phewwww, after a long hiatus because of COVID and computer issues, the Broadway Babies are ready and able to finish off this season of Barbra Streisand movie musicals!

That's right, dearest darlingest listeners — another star is born! This week's Barbra Streisand episode tackles another long-ass movie-musical romance, this time her (let's say, controversial) iteration of the "Star Is Born" cinematic universe, with Kris Kristofferson and the awkwardly overbearing influence of Barbra's producer-boyfriend. So let's get our perms done, breakfast pizza out of the oven, and talk such amazing topics like extra backlighting, awkward racial undertones and side-boob!

Merry Christmas and happy holidays, our dear listeners! For this Very Special Holiday Episode, the Broadway Babies have some things to say about the recently released Netflix movie-musical about a humbug inventor/toymaker who just needs to believe in the power of love to save the day! Did you think this original Christmas story was as cheesy as we did — and is that a bad thing?
