Step right into the romantic and horny world of the musical adaptation of 'The Bridges of Madison County' as Michael and Anika deep dive into this modern gem. They'll discuss the raw emotions on display through Jason Robert Brown's powerful score, the rich layers of character that Marsha Norman brings to the table as book writer, and why this show didn't have a successful initial run on Broadway despite the magical chemistry of Kelli O'Hara and Steven Pasquale. Join us as we dive headfirst into the love, music, drama, and horniness that is THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY.
