Matt’s a Drama Desk Voter, have ya heard? Which means he sees SO much theatre. YAY! But also that means he doesn’t have as much time to record. BOO! Solution for now? A giant Review Round Up Episode covering over a dozen different performances!! What came out on top? What was forgettable? And what evening made Matt weep from start to finish? Also…how exactly does Elizabeth Holmes play into all of this??Important Links:* Broadway Breakdown: THE GREEN ROOM (Patreon)* Broadway Breakdown: DISCORD* Broadway Breakdown: SUBSTACK* Broadway Breakdown: YOUTUBETime Stamps:0:00 Hello and a New Review2:20 Shuffle Along Reunion Concert7:54 Garry Starr Classic Penguins11:57 Music City12:52 Truly, Howard Hughes14:02 In Honor of Jean-Michel Basquiat15:44 Arias with a Twist17:56 Delirium22:00 Pre-Existing Condition27:30 A Ghost in Your Ear30:09 Anon36:20 Soon49:20 Slam Frank1:02:50 MidnightListener Questions:“Is being controversial synonymous with being important?”“Are there story ideas that are actually off-limits?”“Should we cater to shorter attention spans or do we need to challenge them?” This is a public episode.
