ATR #139 – In The Heights & Anna and the Apocalypse

Solo show! My 3 special guest this week are me, myself, and I. We have a great conversation talking about the new production of “In the Heights” at the Seattle Repertory Theater, and then I review the new zombie Christmas musical “Anna and the Apocalypse”! I was fortunate to see a live musical production for the first time in a while thanks to a friend, and it was the traveling production of “In the Heights”, the multiple Tony award winning musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda. The design, characters, and staging were all top notch, and I had an absolute blast! I also had the pleasure to catch an advance screening of the new zombie Christmas musical from the U.K. “Anna and the Apocalypse”.
