I'm sorry I took a little break, I've been out changing my life! Today I come to you from a secret location to talk about what politician I'd stunt cast in Hadestown, how the average yearly income of Broadway ticket buyers is more money than I've cumulatively made in the last decade, witnessing how nuts Alice Ripley was on Facebook almost two decades ago, 1970's Australian Cast Recordings of Rock Musicals and why they're superior, the rise and fall of the biggest up and coming regional theatre, and our collective theatre trauma.

First show back from a short hiatus! Rants from this episode include but are not limited to: Julie Taymor's batsh!t original idea for the Lion King on Broadway, how it all comes down to motivation, what cartoon character sounds like Matilda's lyrics, and who should replace Lena Hall in Little Shop of Horrors! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this episode: Jonathan gives a foolproof plan to solve the Ukraine conflict using the Muppet Christmas Carol, goes absolutely insane at Music Man lying to their audiences, calls for Jesse Green to go the f away, and talks about The Brady Bunch Musical that's coming! And much more! Great theatre rants! So good! Yay!! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this week's episode: Jonathan shares thoughts some podcast exclusive theatre tea, Bob Iger's return, the racism of the Broadway megafans, and the funniest Broadway onstage mishap EVER. Jonathan also has a mid podcast freakout and goes on an expletive laden screaming expedition when discovering a spider on their ceiling while recording. Jonathan also doesn't know why he's typing this in third person. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I want to attach a massive trigger warning to this episode (suicide, mental health, sexual assault): I don't know if I've honestly talked about my story through the theatre and the trauma from the theatre that has shaped my mental health. I hesitate putting this podcast out because I don't know if you're supposed to talk about things this way but I honestly feel like I have very little to lose by clearing my chest for the first time. I hope the right person hears this and knows that you're not alone. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this weeks episode: Jonathan pitches multiple high concept productions of classic shows in hope a wayward producer puts on this god forsaken podcast, hears said ideas, and hires Jonathan to direct them. Jonathan also discusses the worst piece of theatre they've ever seen (the 2018 Broadway revival of Carousel) and much more! This is an episode that's all over the place but this just exist as a raw/real/ranty outpost so it's a very on brand all over the place. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tik Tok would flag my account for any of these rants in this extra show this week! I rant about theatre, Disney adults, economic theory, and foot fetish ethics! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sorry for two weeks off, things have been going on behind the scenes! In this episode I am really fired up and really have a lot to say. I rant about the entire current infrastructure of theatre in America. American Theatre, from the top to the bottom, appears to truly be doomed unless everyone decides to stand up and say "we're not allowing this any longer." Hosted on Acast.

Sorry I missed a week! I recorded a very special episode last week that hopefully you'll get to hear next week (I think it'll be worth it!) This week: I will lay down in front of a train for Sara Porkalob, Patti LuPone disingenuously leaves the union, I yell at the BroadwayCon people, and I sing the Diane Paulus Song! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Kink shamed my TheatreMania, the Wicked film pays me $10, ALW and I both want a goth girl to choke us behind the Dennys, Will We Ever Get A New Broadway Theatre?, the Muppets are dead, and much much more Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
