Tracy Lynn Olivera / You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown - The Original Cast Album (1967) *Flashback* Apr 08, 2020

Show notes

Next Wednesday will be our 100th guest! So before that, let's look all the way back to March 2016 and our very first guest: Tracy Lynn Olivera! Which, synergistically, also happens to be the same show our 99th guest chose (though a different recording)!

ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES:

Welcome to The Original Cast, a podcast about original cast albums and the people who love them hosted by playwright/filmmaker/professor Patrick Flynn.

Our first guest is actress, singer, & recording artist Tracy Lynn Olivera who stops by to discuss the 1967 original cast album of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown.

We're also joined by dramaturg Megan Westman as we discuss off-Broadway basement shows, the wrong kind of meta, and how Tracy feels about the 1999 Broadway revival (spoiler: she hates it).

Featured Recording: You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown - The Original Cast Album (1967)
