MACK & MABEL with Robert Viagas
Manage episode 362048725 series 3244640
In 1974, a teenage Robert Viagas (future founding editor of Playbill.com) entered a Broadway theatre and watched the brand new musical from the legendary team of HELLO, DOLLY! Twenty five years later, a teenage Jeffrey Scott Parsons listened to that musical's original cast recording and couldn't figure out why MACK & MABEL was a flop. In this week's episode, Robert and Jeff discuss the enigma that will always be MACK & MABEL including its incredible score, fascinating real life inspiration, and the unsung heroes of musicals that work.
