In their debut episode, Adam and Anthony go way, way back many decades ago to 1968, when Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote his first musical, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (with lyricist Tim Rice), which Anthony appeared in a few decades later, in the show's North American tour with Donny Osmond.
