The Next Canon Podcast
Today William and I discuss how important it is for the Book and Music to be cohesive in musical theatre. So Many beautiful shows are tainted by a sketchy book. We also take time to remember that THEATRE IS NOT BROADWAY. It’s like the rectangle and the square thing. Broadway is theater, but theater is not JUST Broadway.
