Now, THIS is cool.
Composers Ellen Winter and Chris Littler have written a musical that is designed to be listened to as a podcast. Fortunately for us, they have a total triumph on their hands. Their 36 Questions has a contemporary Dear Evan Hansen-like indie rock/pop score and stars the man of all of our dreams: Jonathan Groff (who Lin-Manuel Miranda calls "Groffsauce"). Groff shines along the deliciously voiced Jessie Shelton as a young divorced couple uses a famous psychological questionnaire to try to get to know each other all over again.
The score is full of really good radio-ready songs that make you wonder why more contemporary musicals like this aren't on Broadway. The production values are terrific, including really great sound design...which is obviously important for a show you can't watch!
