Thanks for listening to the 16th episode of bwaySHO: The Podcast. There’s No MCU post-credit scene in this episode, so come back next time to hear the rest of our conversation, starting with the films Eliza and Nik have been watching. Quarantine has been going on so very long that since this interview, John and I are yet again on a Marvel Marathon, but this time we’re watching the Entire Marvel Cinematic Universe: films and TV SHOs. WandaVision has us wanting all the superhero content we can watch. We’re Celebrating Black History Month and coming up on February 21st, #Ham4Progress presents “The Joy In Our Voices” - “An Evening of Hope, Inspiration, and Community Celebrating Black Art and Artists! Starring Members of our current Hamilton Companies and featuring some special guests. This event is streaming February 21 at 7pm EST on Facebook and Youtube.” Speaking of what to watch, of course HamilFilm is out there as part of the legacy of Broadway pro-shots.
