Ep 19: West Side Story vs The Music Man — The Golden Age of Broadway, Part 3.
In this episode, Albert Evans and I take an in-depth look at two classic musicals that went head to head at the 1958 TONY Awards: West Side Story and The Music Man. We explore the conception, development and storied history of these two legendary shows, and look “under the hood” to discover just what it is that makes them so great. After you listen, please post in the comments which show you think deserved to win the prize for "Best Musical."
