On this week's "very special episode" of John and John (overdramatic title provided courtesy of John N.), the pair discuss the longest-running musical in Broadway history, "The Phantom of the Opera". The Johns talk about the cultural impact of the show, their thoughts on the (lack of) character arcs for most of the show's characters, the legacy of Andrew Lloyd Webber, and so much more. Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber Lyrics by Charles Hart and Richard Stilgoe Book by Richard Stilgoe and Andrew Lloyd Webber Based on the 1909 novel "The Phantom of the Opera" by Gaston Leroux Find the episode on your favorite podcast app or by going to https://anchor.fm/musicalminutes Intro and outro music ("BeBop 25") provided under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License by Jason Shaw on Audionautix.com Have a question for John or John?
