  • Hmmm

    If you want a feelgood podcast about the making of a successful Broadway show, without too much detail, then this is for you. If you want a deep dive into the struggles to bring it to the stage, then you might want to give this a miss. In the first episode, one guest tells us how much fun it is to peek behind the curtain. Sadly, that fun is not shared with the listeners.
