Listen to Episode 4 by clicking here!

We decided to do an episode about Australian musicals and were pleasantly surprised to find that there are actually many many musicals written and produced in this merry old land of Oz. So many in fact, that we're going to spend the next few episodes talking about them. Episode number 4 focuses on the most well known and successful Australian musicals, which all happen to be jukebox musicals, including The Boy From Oz, Shout! The Legend of the Wild One, Dusty! The Original Pop Diva, and Priscilla, The Queen of the Desert. We also send out a Christmas message to all our fabulous listeners!

Episode 3: What is a Musical?

In the third episode of Flusical, Flick and Lu attempt to answer the question, "what is a musical?" 

We'd like to hear your thoughts... 

• What do you define as a musical? 
• What makes a Broadway or musical theatre style distinct from pop or opera? 
• Are there any musicals that don't contain dancing? 
• Are there any movies (not necessarily musicals) that do not contain any form of dance? 

Links mentioned in this episode: 

• Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog. Flick mentions that the web series won an award, but couldn't specifically remember the award. It actually won several awards, including a Creative Arts Emmy Award in 2009 for Outstanding Special Class, and a People's Choice Award for "Favorite Online Sensation".
