THEATER: All The Moving Parts

In this episode, host Patrick Pacheco dives into a double-bill of fascinating productions: one ripped from the headlines, the new Broadway drama "Eureka Day"; the other making headlines, "Wicked," the musical explosively transferred to the screen.

In the first part, playwright Jonathan Spector and actors Bill Irwin and Jessica Hecht explore the vaccine debate at the heart of "Eureka Day," a provocative comedy where a progressive school erupts in chaos as personal beliefs collide with a hapless – and often funny – attempt at community consensus.

Then, as "Wicked" continues to defy box office records, our expert panel – including Matt Koplik (Podcast Host, "Broadway Breakdown"), actor and content creator Kaisha Huguley, and former "Wicked" Broadway cast member Aaron Albano – reveals how this groundbreaking film adaptation honors its theatrical roots while reimagining the beloved musical for a new generation.

Join us for an episode that takes you from the heated school board meetings of Berkeley, California, to the soaring heights of Oz.

Host Patrick Pacheco and a panel of theater experts dive into Broadway’s "Gypsy," now starring Audra McDonald as Madame Rose, in its fifth revival. Featuring Michael Riedel (Author "Razzle Dazzle," "Singular Sensation"), Ruthie Fierberg (Executive Editor of "Broadway News"), Andrew Chappelle (Actor/Writer), and Juan Ramirez (Chief Critic of "Theatrely"), the discussion spans the musical’s enduring appeal, its legacy of iconic performances, and McDonald’s take on the demanding role. Then, Carolyn Quinn, author of "Mama Rose’s Turn," sheds light on the real Rose Hovick—the complex, contradictory woman who inspired one of musical theater’s greatest antiheroes.
