"Where are the New Musicals?"
Notas do episódio
Matt was gonna take a week off but Michael Paulson decided to write an article.
Matt goes into the latest NY Times “Doom and Gloom” piece about the state of Broadway musicals and what it gets right…and what it leaves out. Is the Broadway musical doomed? Or is this a turning point? Matt looks at this past season, the seasons before it, and last week’s grosses to figure out where we go from here. Tune in :)
