Let's Discuss: Be More Chill (w/ Alex)
Hello, and welcome to Chatting From The Wings! In this episode, Alex and I cover a musical that we've been referencing almost since day one, discussing the London production of Be More Chill. Today, we discuss buttery voices, look at the interesting history of this particular show and mention Stewart Clarke's name an incredible amount. If that sounds like the content for you, give this episode a listen!
DISCLAIMER: I'm aware, upon relistening, that I think I butcher a massive plot element surrounding the character of Madeline and whether or not she genuinely appears in certain versions of this musical. I apologise for my misinformation and being a silly boy. Anyway, enjoy listening to me ramble.
