Episode 25 - Musical theatre with Adam Mace

Adam Mace, theatre expert/director/writer, joins us on the Super Awesome Mix podcast this week to discuss his love of musical theatre, and the songs that really inspired him through the years.

This is a fantastic introduction to some of the most well known and influential musical theatre songs — including of course songs from Hamilton, Jesus Christ Superstar, and other world renowned musicals.
