Ep72 - The Rise of Musical Theatre Reality Shows

What happens when you send 50 Danny and Sandy-wannabes to a Grease training school in hopes of becoming the next leads in the 10-million-dollar Broadway revival? Chaos. Pure, absolute chaos. In this episode, we take you Over the Rainbow where Any Dream Will Do as we discuss The Rise of Musical Theatre Reality Shows – you know, the very thing that made Laura Osnes a Broadway Star. Grab some jam and bread, we’re spilling all the reality show tea as we go back to the early 2000s. At the very height of reality-style television shows such as American Idol and The Simple Life, it was only a matter of time before the theatre world took a stab at auditioning unknown aspiring performers in front of millions across the world from the comfort of their living rooms.
