Let's Stage Dive Into the Woods, a musical about wishes, consequences, an erect wolf, and the dangers of insatiable desire. Megann and Jake follow a flock of familiar fairy tale fellows into a forest, where everyone gets their wish yet nobody gets what they really want. If only our world had a giant who dispensed deserved deadly accountability. One can only wish...errr, wait...no!

This episode we're Stage Diving 'Hadestown', a musical about love, hope, capitalism, and a neglectfully optimistic dude who thinks he can fix everything with one absolute banger. Megann and Jake discuss a familiar myth where the destination is hell and the outcome is particularly predictable and devastating, but we put ourselves through it again and again and again and again, anyway.

The end-all-be-all introduction to Stage Diving!: A Theatre Podcast with Megann Hill and Jake Schlack!

One guy steals a loaf of bread and somehow we're still talking about it 200 years later.

This week we Stage Dive Les Misérables, unpacking the story, the score, the history, and why millions of people willingly pay to ugly-cry in public.

Why should you trust these randos with your favorite musical?

Fair question.

In our introductory episode, we share how theater hijacked our lives, what inspires us about this wonderfully unhinged art form, and why we decided to yell at you about it for our entertainment.
