This week the Johns travel to the magical and mystical land of... Scotland. I mean, in this case, it really is!

Camelot

Season 1 · Episode 18

Wednesday, November 4, 2020 • Duration 23:47

John and John venture to a magical land where the weather is controlled by Royal Proclamation and systems of government are determined by sword-holding rocks and women in ponds. This week they dive into the Lerner and Lowe classic, "Camelot"; discussing the dichotomy of the music and the score, the reliance of the book on source material, and the mystique of the magical... cave? Invisible walls? Something like that.

Wednesday, October 28, 2020 • Duration 19:20

John and John sit down to talk about another entry in the new realism of modern musical theatre - "The Band's Visit".

Of Thee I Sing

Wednesday, October 14, 2020 • Duration 19:08

John and John go WAY back to the 1930s and look at one of the Gershwin duo's finest works - "Of Thee I Sing". We talk about the absurdity of the plot and the comedy therein. One of the Johns expresses a long-hidden feeling of support for Ira, the forgotten Gershwin. Good times all around!
