The Musi-Gals

Mikell is on a journey to watch/listen to one new musical every month! As voted by our Instagram friends, for January she watched The Outsiders, the Musical. Take a listen for how little she knew going into the show, and hear her genuine reactions! 
You’ll probably agree with her take on why The Outsiders is still popular. If you disagree, message us on IG! Be sure you follow us (@the_musigals_podcast) to engage in more musical theater fun, and help vote on the next musical Mikell should learn.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! In this special holiday episode, the Musi-Gals are joined by good friends Jared and Naomi for a festive deep dive into the world of Christmas musicals. Join Mikell and Monica as the group debates the age-old question: What actually counts as a Christmas musical? Plus, we cast our favorite Broadway characters in their very own Hallmark movies and much more. Grab some cocoa and tune in for the holiday cheer!

We went to Pleasant Grove this week with Jared, Kevin, and Andrew to catch the hilarious musical comedy Something Rotten! at the beautiful new The Ruth and Nathan Hale Theater (The Ruth)!
We discuss why this show is the ultimate love letter to musical theater lovers—packed with endless Broadway references, witty one-liners, and a version of Shakespeare that is pure rock star energy.
Highlight of the night: seeing our good friend Michael (shoutout to Michael Avila!) crushing it on stage. It’s always special to see a friend in their element, and the talent in this cast was seriously amazing.
If you love musicals, Shakespeare, or just laughing until your face hurts, you have to hear about this production. Tune in for our full breakdown!

We interviewed JJ Niemann!! 🤩 You won't want to miss this episode! We had the incredible opportunity to interview JJ Niemann, who is currently starring as the charming con artist Frank Abagnale Jr. in Catch Me If You Can at the Marriott Theatre in Chicago!
Based on an unbelievable true story, Catch Me If You Can follows the life of Frank Abagnale Jr., a teenager who runs away from home seeking fame and fortune. Along the way, Frank successfully poses as a pilot, a doctor, and a lawyer. He eventually attracts the attention of an FBI agent named Carl Hanratty, who pursues Frank across the country.
This episode is a special one, hosted by just Mikell and friends, as Monica sadly couldn't make it out to Chicago.
