Flying Over Sunset

Bottomless Broadway

We took a trip to "An Interesting Place", as we went to see Flying Over Sunset (twice!) and we're here to take you through the show with us, no flying necessary. So come take a listen as "The Music Plays On".

Note: While we use snippets of the cast album in this episode, the album wasn't yet released when we recorded, so apologies for any inaccuracies, as we were working purely off of memory (without any enhancements).

The entire saga of how Flying Over Sunset came to be is a pretty interesting story and you can read all about it in The New York Times.

The set was one of the biggest aspects of the show (both literally and metaphorically), and you can check out pictures and read commentary from set designer Beowulf Boritt.

In case you missed the joke about Greg in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, this video (starring Tony winner Santino Fontana) should give you some context.

Want to learn more about modern applications of LSD or other psychedelics? Check out The Prof G Pod episode with neuroscientist Sam Harris or Michael Pollan's book, How to Change Your Mind. Or why not go straight to the source with The Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley.
