Episode flash LOTS OF TOPICS in this episode. We talk about Spamalot and interview Michael DeGaetano who was lucky enough to witness the show on Broadway with cast members Tim Curry, David Hyde-Pierce and Hank Azaria. We also discuss the growing amount of musicals appearing for young adults emerging on Broadway and in the West End and Andy provides us with the answer to one of musical theatre's most frequently asked questions: what exactly is a swing?

We also dicuss the AmDram (Amataeur Dramatics) tradition that is still going strong in Britain, and finally we talk about the great writing team of Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, who are repsonsible for bringing you, amongst others, Ragtime, Once on this Island and Seussical.
