They break down why some songs, like the opening number, work better in a live performance than on the cast album. The duo also debates how to tackle the problematic characters of Neville and Helena Landless in a revival. Plus, they explore and daydream about the potential magic of casting Canadian icon Catherine O'Hara as Princess Puffer.All this and the writing on the wall in this all new episode!Don't forget to leave us a review and share your thoughts on this episode on our social media pages.
