Then, we time travel from the 50s to the 1800s as we talk about mismatched couples in this coupling of shows where 50s rockabilly meets Russian rave music. We were pretty mixed up ourselves.

World's greatest hero, Kevin Bacon, has his most storied tale brought to life on stage and gay kids with gay parents rejoice as there's a musical for you too! And this episode, Phoenix struggles to learn the difference from musical structure and song structure 😓

Next, we're treated to the show that makes Lazuli's blood boil from the mere mention of it and one we expected to be a joke and turned out to be a masterpiece. It's also the return of Jeremy Jordan and Laura Osnes, plus another Adrienne Warren spotting!

Then, we get on a win streak as we look at two more critically acclaimed shows. The laughs and tears are in abundance on this one. Plus, a serious death threat is made to someone who can't appreciate greatness.

Might be one of our favorite combinations so far. One totally lived up to the hype while the other was such a huge surprise that we keep coming back to it. Lazuli also wishes the writers of one show a very special thank you. 😉
