Hey half-bloods, have we got a show for you! This time we are heading on a journey across America with everyone’s favourite demigod, Percy Jackson as we explore ‘The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical.’ Jimi and Tommy work out why this show is so faithful to the source material, analyse the many different characters in the show and discuss the fallout from the recent Broadway reviews, and why it may highlight a bigger systemic issue in the world of theatre critics.
The haunting continues as we speak to the super heroes of Beetlejuice, our swings – Will Blum, Natalie Charle Ellis, Brooke Engen, and Sean Montgomery! We hear about each of them and their journey to Broadway. We also hear about the ins and outs of being an offstage cast member of a Broadway show, the challenges and rewards of swinging, and what has made their Beetlejuice experience unique. March Madness and a new game called “That Beautiful Sound.” Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts! Rate and review!
