    The Frogs

    We are paying tribute to the late, great Stephen Sondheim in our special way this week. His 1974 musical The Frogs found its way to Lincoln Center in 2004 with some help from Nathan Lane and boy did he put his own spin on things. We've got frogs, gods, Google, and jockstraps to talk about so let's hop to it.

    Diana: The Musical

    We're back! And we've got a fresh flop to talk about. The people's princess got the Broadway treatment and while the show may not have been a hit with critics, we're giving it a fair chance. Join us for this musical romp through Kensington Palace and while we're there we'll discuss dancing corgies, RuPaul's Drag Race, and whether Eric knows what year it is.

    Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark

    This musical had everything: beloved characters, a legendary director, spectacular sets, great costumes, Bono, most of the cast of Hadestown... so what could possibly have gone wrong? Oh, so very many things. From producers dying to budgets growing out of control to those famous cast injuries, we are looking at everything that made Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark the biggest financial flop in the history of musical theatre.

    Flahooley

    This week, we head back to 1951 for Flahooley. This musical tells the story of a toy company that produces a brand new doll only to be nearly driven out of business by a confused but well meaning genie. Yes, that's right, a genie. Join us on this strange adventure and we'll try and make it make sense as we talk about puppets, pizza rolls, and the Red Scare. Oh, and racism. Because 1951.

    Mack & Mabel

    Mack and Mabel is a favorite among flop enthusiasts thanks to its unforgettable score and stellar cast album. But what else is there to this musical about (probably) real life lovers from the silent film era? We peel back the celluloid to explore that question, as well as a religious pretzel craze, our favorite Bernadette Peters roles, and the fascinating real lives of Mack Sennett and Mabel Normand.

    Darling of the Day

    Picture it: London, 1905. A troubled artist fakes his own death and begins a romance with the suitor of the actual dead man he's now impersonating. This is the basic plot of Jule Styne's Darling of the Day, a musical that couldn't quite earn the distinction of being a masterpiece. What went wrong? We'll paint the picture for you and we'll throw in some New York style pizza, a very funny dame, and a critique from Lisa's dog.
