On this episode, Thom Carnell, Sean Smithson, and Langley J West discuss musicals. From THE JAZZ SINGER (the first musical) through the upcoming WICKED (coming in 2016), we go around the table and tell our favorite (and most influential) musicals. You're gonna need to pen and paper for this one, kids!
