In honour of it being the last episode of the year, we look at all of the shows we have seen this year. Ranking them from worst to best. Talking about our issues with Operation Mincemeat, coming face to face with the biggest idol and enemy of the podcast Andrew Lloyd Webber, seeing some of our favourite musicals of all time (Phantom of the Opera and Next to Normal) and the massive change of heart that Esme had about Les Misérables. Finally, we talk about what we're excited to see in 2024. Thank you to everyone who has listened this year!
