ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES:
Welcome to The Original Cast, a podcast about original cast albums and the people who love them hosted by playwright/filmmaker/professor Patrick Flynn.
Our first guest is actress, singer, & recording artist Tracy Lynn Olivera who stops by to discuss the 1967 original cast album of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown.
We’re also joined by dramaturg Megan Westman as we discuss off-Broadway basement shows, the wrong kind of meta, and how Tracy feels about the 1999 Broadway revival (spoiler: she hates it).
