~ Broadway Expert, Apple Podcasts
Amazingly-Thorough ★★★★★
Filmed Live Musicals: The Podcast is, like the website that it accompanies, amazingly-thorough, packed with info, insights, and creative inquiry, owing to the voluminous knowledge of the host, Luisa Lyons, and that of her fabulous guests. With the advent of the pandemic, the world of filmed live musicals has taken on a major role, as the theatre world explores alternatives to in-person attendance. As a result, the already-exciting landscape of great musical theatre to be found online (which Lyons’ database website can clue you into) is now even more-vital and important. All that aside, Luisa is a smart, clever, and charming host and her magnetic personality and love of the material bring out the best from her guests. If you love musical theatre, this podcast can’t be beat!
