Episode 929: The Breadth of Broadway - Part 2
About this episode
Colm and Thos discuss diverse musical theatre gems from Broadway, including Ragtime and Maybe Happy Ending, and explore changing attitudes towards taste in musicals.
Colm and Thos are back to discuss two more diverse musical theatre gems from Colm's recent visit to Broadway: Ragtime and Maybe Happy Ending - one musical looking back - and one looking forward. They also discuss changing attitudes to taste and tastelessness in musicals - including the Doctor Crippen musical, Belle, and, perhaps surprisingly to a modern eye, the Titanic story itself - as well as more modern musical parodies like Titanique. And is what was right with Ragtime in the 1990s now its main weakness in the 2020s? All this and more in a jam packed in-depth episode (Warning: contains spoilers for Maybe Happy Ending)
