Today we're ushering in Black History Month with an episode dedicated to FINIAN'S RAINBOW, a 1947 musical with a pitch perfect score ("Old Devil Moon," anyone?), zany satirical book, and surprisingly groundbreaking history. Broadway cast alum from the 2009 revival Joe Aaron Reid (CHICAGO, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, IF/THEN) joins us for a magically delicious conversation you won't want to miss.
Follow Joe on Instagram and Threads to catch his latest projects and see his cute kids.
If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to check out our HEATHERS episode that includes a great discussion on musical satire and our SHUFFLE ALONG episode celebrating one of the most important musicals in black theatre history.
