The 2005 Tony Awards, Part 2 - a podcast by Anna & Tim

Anna’s sister Isabel joins us once again to finish our discussion of the ‘05 Tonys. We wonder if Adam Guettel will ever guett his act together, dreamcast a one-woman 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, and debate whether or not a car is a robot. Follow us on Twitter and Instagram (@mylittletonys) for additional content about this season’s shows!
