Alana Kristina
Resident theatre snob Alana Fineman forces microbiologist and theatre beginner Kristina Braverman to watch Broadway musicals. Then they talk about it.
#51: A Broadway B*tch Year in Review!
Well, we did it, folks. One whole year. 50 musicals reviewed. 6 guests. 2 tragic heroes. In this special episode, Kristina and Alana go through all the musicals they've seen over the past year and rank them - their top 5, their bottom 5, and the bonus few that should be ashamed to call themselves art. But first, Alana has to talk for 20 minutes about the shows she saw in New York last week, so strap in for that. We'll see you in Season 4! *********************************** Follow us!

#49: The Nightmare Before Christmas
Welcome to SPOOKY SEASON! Your tragic heroes tackle your favorite Disney alt-cult-classic, THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS. How relatable is Jack Skellington's existential crisis? How long did it take for us to figure out that Sally is voiced by America's sweetheart Catherine O'Hara? And most importantly, who would've thought that giving a bag of bugs some big dick energy would make for the greatest villain of all time? We tackle all this and more, and we have a gosh darn good time doing it! *********************************** Follow us!

#48: Come From Away
Who's ready for TEARS, folks?! This week your tragic heroes tragic the best musical about 9/11 on the market: Apple TV's new pro-shot COME FROM AWAY! We laugh, we cry, we analyze music composition, we cry, watch Kristina's cats complete supernatural feats of strength, and then cry some more. Pop on a few different hats and your Newfoundland accent and strap in, because this one is a bumpy ride! *********************************** Follow us!

#47: Cinderella (2021)
Today your tragic heroes tackle Amazon Prime's new Cinderella with Camila Cabello, Idina Menzel, Billy Porter, our nemesis James Corden, and perhaps most notably, NOT John Mulaney. Kristina and Alana break down their incredibly complex feelings on this upsettingly fun trainwreck, and then spend the remaining 53 minutes talking about John Mulaney to make up for how not present he was. Strap in, folks. *********************************** Follow us!

#45: La La Land
Well, kids… we found it. The disappointing stepchild of the musical world. Nothing about this musical was really worth any extreme emotion. Tune in for a chaotic episode where we trash talk Ryan Gosling and the almost dancing that Emma Stone attempts. For a much better musical that actually honors the culture and experiences of black Americans, check out our Passing Strange episode with Jamal Howard. ***************************************** Follow us!

#43: Mary Poppins
It's a jolly holiday with Mary! Your tragic heroes tackle Kristina's childhood favorite musical, Disney's Mary Poppins! They laugh, they cry, and they're Accidentally Horny.

#42: Anastasia (1997)
Let's learn to do it, baby! Today your tragic heroes could not watch the 2017 Broadway version of Anastasia, so they settled for the 1997 animated film. With the casting of theatre legends like Bernadette Peters, Angela Lansbury, and Kelsey Grammar, it was probably more stunt cast than the stage musical anyway. Come for the very brief actual discussion of the material, and stay for Kristina's history lesson on Rasputin, Russia's greatest love machine.  ***************************************** Follow us!

#42: The King & I
This week we tackle another classic from our mortal enemies Rodgers & Hammerstein: their most racist classic, THE KING AND I! Do the songs slap? Yes. Does the rest of it slap? ...questionable. Tune in as we just absolutely eviscerate this beautiful production of a show that didn't need a revival. Enjoy, bitches.  ****************************************** Follow us!
