In this rollicking premiere episode, David (Motown The Musical, Disney's Descendants 3) and Paul (Jane Eyre, Daddy Long Legs) launch right into a lively discussion of their favorite lyrics and lyricists, with of course, some Sondheim (and it won't be the last time). That leads to a moment to moment breakdown of what makes a great song and song lyric for the musical theatre, before Paul asks the big questions: what are three things you'd tell someone who wants to write their first musical? What are the three essential components of a great musical? And is Jason Robert Brown's The Connector the greatest music theatre score of the past seven years? All before David and Paul set the stage for all that's to come in future episodes. And with heavy cannon, wish you an unending Please Hello!
