All the Broadway Connections to Marvel's AGATHA ALL ALONG

It's a Broadway reunion in Agatha All Along! The new Marvel series, debuting on September 18, is not your typical MCU outing. Not only does the series include several stage alums, it is also somewhat of a musical. 

Starring bonafide Broadway legend Patti LuPone along with new music from Frozen songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, take a look at all of the Broadway connections below.

In the series, the infamous Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) finds herself down and out of power after a suspicious goth Teen (Joe Locke) helps break her free from a distorted spell. Her interest is piqued when he begs her to take him on the legendary Witches’ Road, a magical gauntlet of trials that, if survived, rewards a witch with what they’re missing. Together, Agatha and this mysterious Teen pull together a desperate coven, and set off down, down, down The Road…
