Mama Slay on Broadway

An episode full of fun, fandom, and frisson where Kate and her guest, Caroline Moss, discuss their hot takes about Broadway musicals, but pepper in plenty of tangents from Babysitter's Club to The Beets (from Doug) and beyond. The majority of this episode is in honor of this weekend's long-awaited premiere of Wicked, and they talk through some Wicked lore, detail their favorite Elphabas, and walk through brain-scratching clips of different pre-approved riffs Elphie can use for her final "battle cry" in Defying Gravity. They also share their mutual fascination with Wicked, the complexities of Broadway casting and performances, and their favorite Broadway shows and songs. From vocal endurance to the atmosphere and experience of live musicals, they cover it all (including sharing their favorite clips from iconic songs). And don't let the theater kid vibes scare you if you aren't into musicals—this episode is for the theater fanatics and the average theater admirer alike. They've got a few pop culture and nostalgic rabbit holes to go down as well. Don't worry, by the end they sing a duet because they cannot help themselves. Enjoy!
