Screaming, Crying, Laughing My Heart Out!
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. Remember that the best performance you may ever see could be just around the corner. No matter where you are. So go out there and see some local theatre!!!

info_outlineToday Wiley and I talk about THE END on Phantom of the Opera (on broadway and perhaps in our hearts)… Isn’t it really just a show about a show that a guy writes so he can be the lead in a show and kiss the girl he likes? Kinda. Yeah, I would say so. High Drama over here. In 30 years though Wiley is going to direct a Brechtian Phantom and that sounds like HONESTLY a rip roaring time at the theatre to me.
