Ep113 - Theatre Hot Takes

Welcome to our very first edition of THEATRE HOT TAKES where we anonymously read the Theatre Hot Takes our listeners submitted and discuss the topic with our own opinions! 00:47 - The BOOH LV cast was awesome 01:45 - Stunt casting should be given a chance 06:20 - Next to Normal is better than Dear Evan Hansen 09:07 - I love Hamilton and Wicked dearly, but they’ve had their day. They should close 11:30 - Audiences shouldn’t be allowed to drink alcohol at shows 14:46 - The New York Critics are harsh 17:08 - The West End is better than Broadway 21:16 - Hamilton is extremely overrated and not worth the hype 24:55 - Audience members are so entitled these days with no respect for the cast sometimes 25:20 - Cats is a genuinely good and enjoyable musical, people only bash it because it’s easy! 27:04 - Traditional soprano theatre voices <<< 34:43 - Bigger shows aren’t always the best, smaller shows are sometimes better 36:14 - If you’re going to a show set in high school you can’t really complain about “annoying teen fans” 37:43 - Diana The Musical is actually so good and campy. I think it'll come back like Carrie! 41:36 - Jukebox musicals are very overrated. I miss the old classic shows 45:39 - People can be a little too quick to defend their 'faves' when something is brought up that isn't good 47:35 - People take being a 'theatre fan' too seriously
