If you're just joining us... It's priestly, it's profane, it's the queerest thing we've ever done – it's the Gospel of Musical Theatre, the podcast that dives deep into the spirituality of musical theatre!
When we can't find any spiritual themes to talk about, we talk about the clothes and the chorus boys.
