MILK AND HONEY with David Armstrong
A Musical Theatre Podcast
12/25/22 • 73 min
In the name of "Merry Christmas" and the holiday season, welcome to Israel! In 1961, MILK AND HONEY premiered on Broadway and brought with it the first major musical theatre representation of Jewish life as well as an introduction to a little, off-Broadway composer named Jerry Herman. Musical theatre creator, educator, and podcast host David Armstrong joins us to discuss this lesser known show with a giant sized cultural footprint. Enjoy your holidays everyone, and thank you for a beautiful 2022. Shalom!

THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS with Josh Breckenridge
A Musical Theatre Podcast
11/13/22 • 78 min
THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS ran for only two months on Broadway at the end of 2010, but in that short time it managed to spark controversy that not only brought protestors outside the theatre, but 12 Tony nominations the following Spring. Luckily our special guest this week is able to provide us with some context. Original off-Broadway and Broadway cast member Josh Breckenridge (COME FROM AWAY, THE BOOK OF MORMON) joins us to jump into some very difficult conversations with one intention in mind: to help us understand "the boys."

OLIVER! with Max Miller
A Musical Theatre Podcast
09/25/22 • 75 min
Never has a child changed the world so much by asking for seconds. The musical OLIVER! is somewhat of an outlier in 1960s musical theatre that's as dark as it is joyful and filled to the brim with wonderful characters. Here to discuss it this week is another wonderful character: historical chef, author and YouTube sensation Max Miller! Max dives into his love of musicals as he and Jeff discuss Charles Dickens, gruel, and how one could sing the catchiest tunes amidst the most impoverished conditions.
Watch new episodes of Tasting History with Max Miller every Tuesday on YouTube. Here's his episode on little Oliver's favorite dish: What is Gruel? You can also follow Max on Instagram @tastinghistorywithmaxmiller

She was also the first woman to ever be Tony nominated for "Best Sound Design of a Play."
Together, Cricket and Jeff begin our official Tony Award festivities by discussing her career, how sound technology might be behind an important evolution in musicals, and how this rock opera carries incredibly profound themes within its iconic guitar riffs.
