Two Gentlemen of Verona

Published: Oct. 26, 2022, 9 a.m.

For this week's episode, John Squared talks about the 1971 production of "Two Gentlemen of Verona", a musical based on the play of the same name by William Shakespeare. Listen in as the pair talk about the absurd nature of the material and how it doesn't always make sense, the okay-ness of the resulting material, and where this show sits in the legacy of the rather stacked 1971 Broadway season.


Music by Galt MacDermot

Lyrics by John Guare

Book by John Guare and Mel Shapiro

Based on the play "Two Gentlemen of Verona" by William Shakespeare
