Episode 929: The Breadth of Broadway - Part 2

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)
