After they discuss making the film adaptation of 'Dear Evan Hansen,' Ben and James bounce around what show is going to bring Ben back on the live stage ('Amadeus' anyone??).

When Stephen Christopher Anthony first saw the show DEAR EVAN HANSEN, he marveled at the performance of Benjamin Platt, his former cast mate in THE BOOK OF MORMON, in the title role. Platt went on to win the 2017 Tony Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical for his portrayal of Hansen.

With so many older (pre-1970) musicals being the butt of jokes in current Broadway productions, it makes it both supremely difficult and yet very simple to appreciate the more elegant form of a musical. Take, for example, 'Camelot', staged for one night at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.

The Hollywood Bowl's annual 'Broadway At The Bowl' was turned into a medieval atmosphere for the production of 'Camelot', written by Lerner and Loewe.

The evening honored Charles Strouse, and was put on in order to raise monies for the Academy for New Musical Theatre.

A seminal event is happening right now in LA, and it's the West Coast premiere of the Kusher/Tesori musical, 'Caroline, or Change.'
