Inside, Easy forgets to mention the female lead, Laura Donnelly (on whom much of the plot is based, sorry Laura), The Critic takes you on a journey in to The Troubles, and in doing so, we break our record for length of an episode (please think of the extra minutes as a special holiday treat...please).

2018-11-1211 minEasy & The CriticEasy & The Critic - #36 "The Waverly Gallery"In this episode, we explore "The Waverly Gallery" which is packed with big-name stars and nearly won the Pulitzer Prize. You'll find that Easy continues to love Michael Cera, The Critic schools us on memory plays, and neither one can get the director's name right (sorry Ms. Neugebauer). It's not a comedy. Enjoy!
2018-11-1014 minEasy & The CriticEasy & The Critic - #35 "Bernhardt|Hamlet"In this episode we explore "Bernhardt/Hamlet" which actually uses a slash (/) in its title vs. the vertical bar (|) we were forced to use for file-naming purposes. Interesting keystroke drama aside, you'll hear how The Critic calls Easy out for just repeating what she says, how Easy is once again brought to tears, and how The Critic forgot the premise of our show. Enjoy!
2018-10-0711 minEasy & The CriticEasy & The Critic - #34 "Hamilton"In this episode, we discuss the 9th planet, "Hamilton", playing now and forever (sorry "Cats"). Within, Easy attempts to coin a new word (Raperetta), and The Critic tries really hard to criticize. You'll never guess whether we recommend it or not, so it's nine minutes of utter suspense. Enjoy!
2018-09-2509 minEasy & The CriticEasy & The Critic - #33 "Angels In America"In this episode, another in our 'Did You Make The Right Call' series, we dive in to "Angels In America: A Gay Fantasia On National Themes".

CLOSING ALERT: this run will play its last performance on June 24, 2018. Let yourself be taken away by The Critic's intellectual insight, and when you hear Easy simply repeat what she says, try not to make a face; my Aunt Noelle always said it'd get stuck that way. Enjoy.
2018-06-1315 minEasy & The CriticEasy & The Critic - #30 "The Full Monty"In this episode, we have the great pleasure to introduce you to one of our favorite shows of all time, "The Full Monty", that we recently enjoyed in Buffalo, NY.

Enjoy!
2018-05-1215 minEasy & The CriticEasy & The Critic - #27 "Grand Hotel"In this episode, we talk about New York City Center's production of "Grand Hotel" for its 1-weekend run. Upon listening, you'll find that Easy renames dust cloths as 'tarps' seems to rename the show 'So, Grand Hotel' by saying that phrase repeatedly, and The Critic, having to deal with him, resists the urge to rename this show. Enjoy!
2018-05-1008 minEasy & The CriticEasy & The Critic - #26 "Carousel"In this episode, we explore the Broadway revival of Rogers & Hammerstein's classic, "Carousel". Easy invents a word, The Critic exposes her unambiguous girl-crush on Jessie Mueller and we achieve some of our finest mispronouncing. Also, sorry for the background noise...forgot to turn the fan off. Enjoy!
2018-04-2909 minEasy & The CriticEasy & The Critic - #25 "Farinelli and the King"In this edition, we add another show to our Did You Make The Right Call series with "Farinelli & The King" the story of a Monarch who did indeed lead as two kings in more ways than one (Tenacious D reference there). Easy encourages you to never not miss a chance to not not-see Mark Rylance while doing a great job of insulting his wife, playwright Claire van Kampen. The Critic makes it out fairly unscathed in this one. Enjoy!
2018-04-2413 minEasy & The CriticEasy & The Critic - #24 "The Comedy About A Bank Robbery" and "Everybody's Talking About Jamie"London Edition! - In this special double episode, we give you our thoughts on another Mischief Theatre production and a new musical about a teenaged drag queen. Easy invents the phrase "dialogue funniness", The Critic falls in love with all the tongs, and we spend way too much time talking about (and poorly performing) London accents. Cheerio!
2018-04-0815 minEasy & The CriticEasy & The Critic - #23 "John Lithgow-Stories By Heart"In this episode, we do a bang up job of insulting young people and get real James Lipton on your ass in our exploration of Roundabout Theater's "John Lithgow: Stories By Heart". We also missed the chance to make the deep-cut musical theater lyric reference 'Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite"... embarrassing. Enjoy.
2018-04-0309 minEasy & The CriticEasy & The Critic - #22 "Meteor Shower"We uploaded this one twice (in true Steve Martin fashion). This time with the description, so you can delete the first version of #22. Ah, podcast trials and tribulations.In this episode, we explore Steve Martin's "Meteor Shower" in our 2nd 'Did you make the right call?' episode (as it's closed). The Critic both compliments and insults Jenna Fischer, Easy gets outed as an erstwhile actor, and we do a bang-up job of explaining absurdist theater...this is some 'The Great Courses' stuff. Enjoy!

Enjoy!
2018-03-0513 minEasy & The CriticEasy & The Critic - #20 "Cats"In our first 'Did You Make The Right Call?' episode, we explore the effanineffable mashup of Andrew Lloyd Webber music and TS Eliot poetry, "Cats". The reason it's our first DYMTRC is that we saw it on its last performance sooo you can't see it anymore. However, you can determine if we thought you 'made the right call' in seeing it or not...a decision you'll get to live with now and forever!
2018-02-1308 minEasy & The CriticEasy & The Critic - #19 "Once On This Island"In this episode about the revival of "Once On This Island", we spend too much time talking about "Spring Awakening", The Critic coins the phrase "ethnically fluid", and if you want your opinion to be taken seriously, we reassure you that all you need is a black turtle neck. Enjoy!
2018-01-2114 minEasy & The CriticEasy & The Critic - #18 "Latin History For Morons"First, this show is closing 25 Feb 2018, so take that in to consideration as you determine our level of expertise or horse shit. Second, we apologize sincerely to Tony Taccone, who directed this play, for both mispronouncing his name, and neglecting to reflect on the impact he's had on American theater. Owe you a cocktail, Tony. Clearly, we're the Morons to whom Mr. Lequizamo is referring. Enjoy!
2018-01-1409 minEasy & The CriticEasy & The Critic - #17 "The Band's Visit"In this episode we explore the great David Yazbek's "The Band's Visit". We can't quite decide if it's a true story, Easy quietly makes his thoughts known about a certain porifera coming to Broadway, and The Critic can't speak (maybe she should change her mind from her opinion in the opening). Enjoy!
2018-01-0409 minEasy & The CriticEasy & The Critic - #16 "Time and the Conways"In this episode we look at The Roundabout Theater's production of "Time and the Conways". Easy & The Critic admit to something heinous but we hope you'll agree that the end justifies the beans! (musical theater joke there...)
2017-12-2807 minEasy & The CriticEasy & The Critic - #15 "M. Butterfly"In this episode, everybody wins a Tony award, The Critic remembers studying "M. Butterfly" while at University, and Easy is talked out of taking Aunt Susie to the show. Enjoy.
2017-12-2309 minEasy & The CriticEasy & The Critic - #14 "Peter Pan"In this episode, Easy is trying desperately to prove that he has a reason to (academically) be part of this podcast, which of course starts with an obtuse allusion to Tenacious D (see if you can catch it), the Critic points out that "Easy the Youngest" pronounces a certain website with flair, and there is a lot of distracting coughing (apologies). And, oh yeah, we discuss Bedlam's "Peter Pan" a bit.
2017-12-2014 minEasy & The CriticEasy & The Critic - #13 "Charlie And The Chocolate Factory"In this episode, we examine "Charlie And The Chocolate Factory" a new musical version of the Roald Dahl classic. We discuss dancing Oompa Loompas, the indefatigable Christian Borle, and both Easy and The Critic are going to blow your minds with what they thought of it all. Well done, Basil.
2017-12-1012 minEasy & The CriticEasy & The Critic - #12 "In & Of Itself"In this episode, we discuss the Off-Broadway play "In & Of Itself" which is produced by Neil Patrick Harris. Further, Easy uses remarkable diction, The Critic makes the word "nice" sound like it's done something to her in a past life, and we explore that subject of subjects...what to do with out of town guests. Enjoy.
2017-11-1808 minEasy & The CriticEasy & The Critic - #11 "The Play That Goes Wrong"This episode is short, in fact we didn't even do bloopers at the end so that you could run out and immediately see "The Play That Goes Wr
2017-10-2106 minEasy & The CriticEasy & The Critic - #10 "Prince of Broadway"In this episode, The Critic gets real excited about her point of view, Easy takes the word "hankerin'" to a new level, and we make an inside joke about "the message kids" (see Sunset Blvd.). The critic makes reference to some homework on your part and here's a start https://youtu.be/virv-1o2KjE. Enjoy our take on "Prince of Broadway".
2017-10-1015 minEasy & The CriticEasy & The Critic - #9 "Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street"In this episode, we bring you our take on Barrow Street Theatre's "Sweeney Todd" or at least the version that Easy came around to eventually. While we saw understudies for the man who was Broadway's first black Phantom (Norm Lewis) and the man who played the oxymoronically hilarious Nostradamus (Brad Oscar) we still thought...well, you'll just have to listen. Also, we make a reference to "having a little priest." This is a show joke, mom.
2017-09-2612 minEasy & The CriticEasy & 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.
2017-08-0613 minEasy & The CriticEasy & 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.
2017-07-2810 minEasy & The CriticEasy & 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!
2017-07-2308 minEasy & The CriticEasy & 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!
2017-07-1510 minEasy & The CriticEasy & The Critic - #4 "Groundhog Day"We did it! We disagree (can't believe it took us this long).
