Just like Broadway, Showgays is back, baby! To celebrate, we've decided to plus up the podcast - we've brought in a new host, we've got a higher production value, and we're doing the big shows!

\n

Adam, RJ, and Molly discuss 2019\u2019s Cats, directed (to our chagrin) by Tom Hooper. What went wrong? How would we fix it? Find out why Molly is beefing with Dame Judi Dench and who RJ & Adam think should have played Grizabella. Also, Molly did mix up Socrates and Aristotle during the name game and she is sorry about that.
