    HUH?
    “Rent”? “Sunset Boulevard”? What YEAR is this? Maybe “Six”? The Alicia Keys Show” Any that’s opened AFTER 2015? I am SO confused!

    So fun to hear about this drama from the people who created this show! It’s exciting to relive the infamous Patti V. Webber feud.

    Oh the drama!
    I started researching Sunset Blvd with the recent revival announcement and was blown away reading about the feud. This podcast, hearing from the actual people involved in it all, is amazing! Can’t wait for the rest of the podcast!!
