I have promised that this podcast will explore the lessons that different shows have for theater and for life, and to explore the unexpected and unlikely connections the bring cross human lives on the plane of theater. To help me better understand all that, I reached out to the internet to ask, anyone who was willing, to share with me what made their favorite show work. That’s it – not anything deep or all that philosophical, just why Phanton of the Opera drew you in.
What I got back was so, so much more. What kind of people are drawn to musical theater? How does it affect them? How does musical theater fit into a human life? And how are those lives changed? In ways that I, at least, could never have imagined. I imagined I was asking what made a show your favorite form of entertainment, and what I learned is how it could change your life forever. And that, my friends, may be the greatest theater mystery of all. I will be your spirit guide today, on a totally different episode of Theater History and Mysteries.
