Description

Because we're honestly very ready to move on from the Big Apple, we're giving you a two-for-one episode about the latter two shows we spent the rest of our New York trip seeing (most of...). "The Inheritance" by Matthew Lopez is an emotional story that examines, maybe a little clumsily and excessively, what it means to be a gay man in present-day New York, inspired by "Howard's End" by E.M. Forster. Does it succeed as a new addition to the canon of "epic gay theatre"? And on our last day together, we got just a little touch of star quality listening to Solea Pfeiffer belt the living hell out of the title role in the City Center production of the Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice favorite, "Evita." Joined by a talented bunch of supporting actors and a killer ensemble, let's break down what changes made this one stand out from all the others.   Show Notes: Tickets for "The Inheritance" available here.  Highlights from "Evita" at City Center. And we found this "Rainbow High" clip online, too...shhh don't tell anyone. Listen to how she ends the first song!   Podcast cover art: David Taylor Twitter: @bwaybabies Facebook: Facebook.com/broadwaybabiespodcast
