Flop Ass Bobs: The Musical (feat. Kyle Frattini)
Manage episode 375194430 series 3482605
In this soup du jour, we have esteemed (and unofficial) musical theater critic Kyle Frattini (on Instagram as @KFratt) on the pod to talk all things floppy in the world of Broadway musicals (including & Juliet, Once Upon a One More Time, Bad Cinderella, and more). Is musical theater doomed? Can the Marvel-ization of Broadway musicals ever be stopped? How about those floppy jukebox pop girl musicals? And WHAT are we going to do about stunt casting? (Betty Who we see you!)
Plus: what exactly IS a fuck ass bob? Why are people mobbing Jack Antonoff’s wedding? Finally, we reflect on a few of the floppy slow-news headlines we've seen courtesy of the combination actor and writer strike. It's a big week of floppy questions!
