Incredible

This show is absolutely incredible, I look forward to it every week and I really like this Jesse guy. He’s got a super cute voice and I love hearing him.

mom of fun ,

unfortunate

I have found the hosts to be very insensitive. I was especially disappointed in the Dear Evan Hansen and Rent episodes. If you don't like a show or understand the purpose of it, don't review it. There are so many more musicals out there that you don't need to complain about and can share how important those ones are to YOU! Everyone has a favorite musical and that's the joy to musical theatre, there are SO many shows, you don't have to like them all, but I'm drawing the line at being rude toward fans of the musicals you don't like, especially toward the autistic and mental health community. That's just simply not what the theatre community is about. Do better.

Love This Podcast!

This Podcast is excellent, and 95% of the time manages to perfectly express what is good (and what isn’t) about the show being covered. An especially good example is The Music Man (2022) episode, with spot on opinions about the changes made, and the casting decisions. While I obviously don’t agree with every single opinion on every show, the commentary given is often presented as their own personal opinions, and not Gospel. You guys keep doing what you’re doing 😊 #benbrantleyisoverparty
