Scene to Song Episode 95: Five-Year Anniversary Live Show

In this episode, nine guests from the past five seasons return to talk about Scene to Song episodes we have loved and if the discussions have changed our thoughts on musical theater in any way. We also talk about the late lyricist Sheldon Harnick and the song “Telephone Wire” from Jeanine Tesori and Lisa Kron's Fun Home.

This discussion was held live on Scene to Song’s Facebook page on June 25, 2023, and was recorded for this podcast almost in its entirety. Scene to Song is now going back on summer hiatus and will return in early fall.
