Welcome to Episode Three of Show Tunes with Kate Botello! This week: three communication issues, two very different takes on doo-wop, and one really special guest! We lucked out and got the brilliant Ana Gasteyer into the studio. She has some great war stories and the inside take on playing Elphaba in WICKED, and will sing us an iconic song from that show in a new way during Intermission. Tune in Sunday night at 7pm on Classical IPR, or listen any time right here!
