MUSICAL #6 | The Good Ship Antiphony Mar 29, 2021

Show notes

Gals, guys and otherwise... Hardy, Sea-faring patrons of the arts… Welcome back to One Million Musicals! Tonight, we are proud to present The Good Ship Antiphony!
In the near future, wind-powered sailing vessels venture across the Earth’s polluted oceans in order to rid the sea of filth and debris. When one such vessel, The Good Ship Antiphony, finds itself in the middle of the ocean and without wind, the crew must come together and keep their spirits up the only way they know how: singing some good ol’ fashioned sea songs. Will the crew escape the doldrums? Will the ocean ever be cleaned? Will there be pirate accents?? You’ll just have to listen and find out, ye scurvy dog!
Stay tuned to the end of the show to get a very special sneak peak at one of our very real and not fake upcoming musicals. Intrigued? You should be!
And now, sit back, rest your sea legs, and enjoy musical number 6 out of One Million!

"Hella in Your Thirties" Auditions for One Million Musicals Mar 22, 2021

Show notes

This week we reach DEEP into the 1MM vault to bring you never-before-seen, behind-the-scenes audio from our very real and not at all staged audition process. Way back when 1MM was just starting up, we held auditions for our very first musical, "How to Be Spooky." Luckily for us, some truly remarkable talents came along to audition. In this episode, we share with you two such talents: Nick Casalini and Muriel Montgomery, the minds and voices behind the stupidly funny podcast, "Hella in Your Thirties."
Note: This episode is NOT FOR KIDS. We bleeped the swear words, but we discuss some *ahem* ADULT themes. Listener discretion is advised.
About Hella in Your Thirties: Are you hella in your thirties? Of course you are! Join Nick Casalini and Muriel Montgomery (comedians who married each other) as they explore tactics new and old, joyful and terrible, for conquering the dirty thirties. Ever heard of a V-Steam? Tried Juicing? Had vitamin B12 injected into your body? Nick and Muriel try these things and more – why? Because being an adult is a glorious mystery! Every week is a new adventure into exercise, dieting, feeling good, backsliding, leaping ahead and drunken house cleaning. Let’s Party!
