Ep 18 - Ryan Scott Oliver: "I'm a Christian Rock Fiend Even Though I'm an Atheist"

NOW WE'RE TALKING with Drew Gasparini

Ryan Scott Oliver is one of the most prolific musical theatre writers of our generation! He and I go back a long time and I didn’t think I could respect the man more until we had this conversation! Of course *you* know RSO for his tremendous, game-changing musicals such as WE FOXES or JASPER IN DEADLAND, but did you know one of his musicals actually made an appearance on a certain former presidents reality TV show??? And I'm sure we’ve ALL jammed out to his song-cycle “35MM” with songs inspired by his husband, photographer Matthew Murphy, but I bet you’d never guess which cartoon gave Ryan his sexual awakening! OF COURSE we are *allllll* excited about his musical adaptation of the novel/film “Hugo” but I bet you’d be surprised to hear who Ryan chooses to off in our Broadway edition of F***, Marry, Kill! Well we go deeper than a canyon on this episode discussing all of this and much much more. I love him, you love him, so tune in and turn it up because NOW we’re talking with Ryan Scott Oliver!
