John and John sit down to talk about another entry in the new realism of modern musical theatre - "The Band's Visit". We talk about one of our most cherished tropes (band on stage!), the concept of realism in the show, and the importance of representation on stage and in the story... all while trying to not mangle and be respectful of everyone's names.
