Two thumbs up. I dig musicals...especially those that are set within stories that you wouldn't immediately think were musically inclined.
Exactly! :)
Brian,
I just listened to this tonight and it was brilliant. I do enjoy the musical theater, but I have to confess that my knowledge of the *background* of most musicals is sketchy at best. Very enlightening. I am only disappointed that I cannot hear the previous episodes..
Thanks, Chuck! Sorry you've missed a few, but there's still another four episodes to go! :)
