from Breaking the Curtain · host Breaking the Curtain

Alright, yeah! We’re kicking off our 2025 Spooky Season with a chilling deep-dive into Swept Away — the hauntingly beautiful musical by the Avett Brothers and John Logan.In this episode, we discuss the real-life tragedy that inspired the story, how the Avett Brothers’ album Mignonette inspired the musical, marketing a show with dark themes on Broadway, and its sudden closure after a brief run. From brotherhood and survival to sacrifice and redemption, Swept Away makes the perfect start to our season of ghost lights and haunted stories.*Sound effects from Pixabay Follow us on social media!⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ @breakingthecurtain⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠ @breakingthecurtain⁠⁠breakingthecurtain.com
