In each episode of Musical Theater Deathmatch (or MTD, as the cool kids are calling it), our two hosts, Andrew and Kelsey, invite a guest on to argue about two musicals loosely connected by a theme (e.g. "Musicals based on gothic horror stories", or "Shows we really liked in high school and now cringe about"). In the end, only one musical can win the deathmatch - it's a fun way to compare an art form we deeply love, and think about what makes musicals work or not. And also, make silly jokes.
