In Episode 9 of the Take Me To The World Musical Theatre Podcast I review the three musicals I saw last year. They were Come From Away, Six, and Waitress.
Quick correction: in the podcast, I state that King Henry VIII’s first wife Catherine of Aragon didn’t bear him any children, but this is incorrect. She did have a daughter, but at the time (cue: the patriarchy) you had to have a son to be the heir to the throne. I also wished one of the shows good luck, when I should have clearly said “Break a Leg.”
