Just because we 'can' talk about this stuff doesn't mean we 'should' talk about it, but we're gonna anyway. Musicals have come a long way over the years, as has our society, present moment notwithstanding. There are just some narrative subjects, or bits of dialogue or song lyric or casting choices, that you just can't get away with in today's world. We're willing to bet that approximately 0% of the shows we get into in Top Ten Problematic Musicals could be made today. But they are fun to talk about, good or bad. Speaking of fun, ATTT has done the impossible and reunited the Breakfast Cereal Mascot crew to do the dirty work of counting down our favorite Problematic Musicals. Shannon Hurley, Joe Lavelle and Kate Bundy are ready and able to get into some squishy subjects with the appropriate amount of levity. Picks 10-6 are featured here in Part 1.

We've lowered our prices, but not our standards over at the ATTT Patreon! Those who are kindly contributing $2 a month are receiving an exclusive monthly Emergency Pod episode featuring our favorite guests and utilizing our patent-pending improv format in which we miraculously pull a playlist out of thin air. Volume 16 came out June 1st featuring our friends Dustin Prince and Candi Bartlett! Find out more at https://www.patreon.com/c/alltimetopten
