Minisode 5 - Wonderful Town and Candide

In preparation for the upcoming West Side Story episodes, Jeremy takes us through the higlights of Wonderful Town (1953) and Candide (1956), Leonard Bernstein's two Broadway efforts in between On the Town and West Side Story. Wonderful town is basically a discount On the Town, and Candide is Bernstein going full operetta.

  

Minisode 4 - Ranking Our Favorite Broadway Songs - Part 2

We're finishing off our Broadway song rankings, with Hannah's and Jeremy's top 5 songs.  Plus, a listener sent in her list, so we read that one too.

Hear all of our selections at the Broadway Binge Favorite Songs Playlist.

17. Damn Yankees

We're pleasantly surprised by Damn Yankees, the second and final musical by Adler and Ross after the disappointing Pajama Game.  Damn Yankees is surprisingly high concept, and surprisingly non-baseball focused.  West Side Story is up next, so if you want to watch the movie in preparation, now is the time.
