Easy & The Critic - #8 "War Paint"
In this episode, The Critic (in what will surely be the start of a running joke) bestows her intellectual opinion on the rest of us while Easy forces a correction in this paragraph to note that "The Powder & the Glory" is the documentary on which this musical is based, while the source material book is called War Paint; quelle surprise. Wow,... our most boring show notes yet! Enjoy.

Easy & The Critic - #7 "Indecent"
Hurry! You only have till August 6th to determine if you agree with Easy, agree with The Critic or if it's a pox on both our houses. "Indecent" will only be in town till then, and in this episode, we let you know if we think it was worth its extension. I'd give you a spoiler here, but The Critic is still figuring out what that is.

Easy & The Critic - #6 "Hello, Dolly!"
In this episode, Easy leans on the word 'phenomenal' like a gym wall at a high school dance, can't seem to remember the name of the show (it's "Hello, Dolly!"), and manages to cause our first self-censoring by naming a brand we had to delete. The Critic was practically perfect in every way. Altogether, an unmitigated success!

Easy & The Critic - #5 "Miss Saigon"
In this episode, we discuss the Broadway revival of "Miss Saigon", say Jon Jon way too much much, clue you in to Easy's age, and wish you a happy 4th of July on the 15th...better late than never!

Easy & The Critic - #4 "Groundhog Day"
We did it! We disagree (can't believe it took us this long). In this episode, Easy leans too heavily on a tired Spike Lee allusion, and The Critic has since learned the definition of a spoiler. Find out which one says go and which one says no in our first theater smackdown over "Groundhog Day, The Musical".

Easy & The Critic - #3 "Come From Away"
Our longest episode yet, Easy & The Critic take on "Come From Away". Easy adds the word 'incredible' to his extensive critical vocabulary, and The Critic talks about a 6-inch piece called a tipper. Yet, we did not need the 'E' button so gather the whole family for our epic, 10-minute journey.

Easy & The Critic - #2 "A Doll's House, Part 2"
Easy and The Critic talk about "A Doll's House, Part 2" starring all of The Critic's best friends. Easy mispronounces Jayne Houdyshell's name (sorry 'bout that, Jayne), we spoil the fact that The Critic doesn't know what a spoiler is and it only took two episodes to tick the "E" button. Enjoy.
