I am a behind the scenes nerd. Remember when DVDs had the bonus of all the BTS stuff? I’d watch that first so I had an inside scoop before watching the movie. Alternately, I have always loved musicals, but there was never a bonus DVD offered for the theater. We’ll, now you have it in this...Read full review »

This is what Rupert Holmes told me about the voting for Datchery, Murderer and lovers back in 2008 Thank him for his interest. I think it's safe to say the majority of the time Datchery is Bazzard, maybe as much as 80%. It's built into the dynamic of the character and the show. The...Read full review »

I love Jeff’s podcast. I started listening to it about a year ago. Now I’m going back to enjoy earlier episodes I’ve missed. I just finished the A Little Night Music episode with guest Tom Zohar. They both made me laugh out loud in real life! A perfect duet! Jeff, keep up the excellent work—I...Read full review »

Jeff is the kindest, loveliest person. Listening to these conversations feels like a cozy chat with an old friend.

This podcast is such a wonderful love letter to musical theater. Jeff covers the greats and the lesser known shows one after another with such joy. He approaches each one like a true fan and manages to dig out previously unknown wonderful nuggets of information, plus stories from behind the...Read full review »

I’m not big into podcasts but this one has me hooked! I’ve listened to every episode and anxiously wait for each new one. The episodes are thorough and well thought out and he gets wonderful guests. If you’re at all interested in musical theatre, you have to give this one a try!!

I’ve just been introduced to this podcast, and I’ve already listen to four. Without naming names, it is so much better than the other Broadway cast podcast.I had been listening to. Unlike that one, it does not deal with gossip, put downs, and the hosts are just plain fun!!! I can’t wait to hear...Read full review »

Lovely, lively and informative chats populate this series. This isn’t a nuts-and-bolts making-of series, but rather a discussion of why these shows have an impact, both now and when originally produced. You do get a general walk through the storytelling but always through the prism of why it is...Read full review »

Interesting podcast somewhat let down by Justin Clark’s wilfully ill-informed dribble on the episode about The Boy from Oz.

I love this podcast!!! Especially since it covers all my favorite shows. I always have to go back and listen to the cast recordings or deep dive into YouTube after every episode. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for the new year!!!

This is my favourite musical theatre podcast. Jeff brings on guests from Broadway and the West End every episode, and it's introduced me to shows new and old that either I didn't know before or I came to know better. If you are a fan of the stage, you need to be subscribed to this show!Read full review »

A friend recommended this podcast to me a few months ago, and I’ve basically been listening non-stop since! Jeff is such a great host and getting to take a peek into the world of each show with a special guest who has a connection to each show is such a fun and engaging format. As a Musical lover...Read full review »

This podcast has such thoughtful insights, is so well researched, hosts great guests, and is my favorite way to learn about new shows or celebrate shows I’ve loved for years. I’m also happy to share I’ve gained new appreciation for shows I once judged from this pod, Thank you!

I’m sad! I have been binging this podcast for the last 2 months as I have commuted to and from rehearsals and shows and I still have one weekend left but am all caught up on the episodes. The insights, commentary, and personal connection (often sweet and touching) that Jeff brings to this show is...Read full review »

Jeff is so personable, and I love the way anecdotes and history are mixed in with a rundown of the story and songs. Most of the guests have been involved with a professional production of each show in one way or another, which totally adds to the fun. The only thing missing is enough money to buy...Read full review »

Trolling through Itunes for a good podcast often leads to a dead end. But sometimes one will find a diamond hiding in plain sight, which is what I found when I stumbled across A Musical Theatre Podcast. That the podcast logo is based on a classic not-so-well-known show helped me both see that I...Read full review »

I’m a big musical theatre fan and Jeff does such an incredible job giving his audience behind the scenes, scholarly, interesting, important, funny, insights into these shows. He is a giving and generous interviewer and knows how to get the best out of his guests. If you are a fan of musical...Read full review »

This is the podcast about musicals you’ve been looking for. The guests are insightful, the conversation glitters. Every episode is a treasure.

Listening to the Podcast always brings me joy. I especially like listening to it while I am driving in L.A. traffic because it makes the time fly.
hectorguerrerodance via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/15/21
As a non church goer this podcast is my Sunday church service TBH. Jeff does a wonderful job discussing the cultural impacts of musical theatre while also dissecting the plot, score, and process of a weekly selected musical with a selected guest. This podcast is a college level class. Bravo!

I’ve been listening to Musicals Taught Me Everything I Know (also another amazing musical themed podcast) before starting our podcast Talking Musical History. I just listened to the Rent episode before we record our episode, for research. It’s a wonderful discussion of fan favorites of the stage...Read full review »

As a newcomer to musical theatre, this is a great way to learn about the art form. I’m sure many of the references go over my head, but the host makes it enjoyable to listen to anyways.
mochoar via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/22/20
Such an entertaining and educational podcast! I love the different guests each week. Everyone brings their own knowledge and love for the art form. Definitely a great listen!
donny gersonde via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/16/20
Act I of MERRILY does NOT end with Not A Day Goes By, in fact in ends with Now You Know which is a much better ending and negates a lot of the commentary you make in the podcast about how tough the end of Act I is. In fact, by ending with Now You Know, it reinforces the friendship among Mary,...Read full review »

Okay, listen. I LOVE THIS PODCAST. When I first started listening, I binged over a dozen episodes in a week and now I avidly listen to each new episode almost immediately upon its release. I can’t get enough. Jeff, the host, is personable, knowledgeable, hilarious and his genuine love for the...Read full review »

This is an “Of course, Jeff should be doing this!” I can’t wait to listen while I’m driving or pretending I’m going to bed, at night.

I just need this to be a daily show. Too much?
