The 2005 Tony Awards, Part 1 - a podcast by Anna & Tim
from 2019-01-27T08:00
This episode, we’re serving you two Hulkowers for the price of one. Anna's sister Isabel stops by to reminisce about the time they made their dad drive them to New Jersey to see Elaine Stritch. We also compare everything to The Producers, confess how much we like (Norbert Leo) Butz and we CANNOT lie, and wish Spamalot would spam a little less. Follow us on Twitter and Instagram (@mylittletonys) for additional content about this season’s shows!
