What's the buzz, listeners? We'll tell you what's a'happenin'! The Broadway Babies are back and better than ever! Now it’s time to get petty and start our season of MEGA musicals. This season is comprised entirely of "doozies," starting with the NBC concert of the king of megamusicals’ tomb-quaking classic, "Jesus Christ Superstar Live!" Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s rock musical entertains the 5,000 while providing commentary on what celebrity can do to the individual as well as the general public. Alex and Daisha discuss the themes of loneliness, celebrity, and tough choices woven through Webber’s motive-ridden classic.
