Everybody skips "Sentimental Man" on the Wicked cast recording. You know it. We know it. We’re willing to wager Stephen Schwartz knows it, too. But keep that thumb away from your skip buttons because this is SENTIMENTAL MEN. We’re Quincy Brown and Kevin Bianchi and we are in a different realm of liking Wicked. Join us as we talk (and occasionally scream) about musical theatre and embark on an exploration of one of Broadway's most iconic roles.

Listeners of Sentimental Men that love the show mention: wicked, thank you thank, fun to listen, love, great.
The Sentimental Men podcast is an absolute delight for fans of the musical Wicked. As a devoted fan myself, I couldn't help but be captivated from the very first episode, which featured an interview with the legendary Stephanie J. Block, who played Elphaba in the Broadway production. The hosts of this podcast clearly have a deep love and appreciation for Wicked, and their enthusiasm is infectious. It's evident that they have done their homework and are knowledgeable about the show and its history.
One of the best aspects of The Sentimental Men podcast is the lineup of guests they bring on. From Stephanie J. Block to Lindsay Mendez and Jessica Vosk, they've managed to secure interviews with some of the biggest names in the Wicked world. This gives fans a unique opportunity to hear firsthand stories and insights from these talented performers. Additionally, the hosts themselves are incredibly engaging and entertaining. Their banter is light-hearted and fun, making each episode feel like a conversation among friends.
While there are few drawbacks to this podcast, one aspect that could be improved upon is its inclusivity. As someone who may not be well-versed in musical theatre or familiar with Wicked, it would be helpful to have more context provided throughout the episodes. While it's great that the podcast is accessible to fans of all levels, some background information or explanations could enhance understanding for those less familiar with the subject matter.
In conclusion, The Sentimental Men podcast is a must-listen for any fan of Wicked or musical theatre in general. The hosts' genuine love for both shines through in every episode. Whether you're a die-hard Wicked aficionado or just starting your musical theatre journey, this podcast provides an entertaining and informative glimpse into the world of Wicked and its fantastic cast members. Bravo to The Sentimental Men for creating such a delightful show!

This week, the SentMen are joined by the lovely, sunny, history-making Brittney Johnson! You'll hear about Britney's adolescent confusion over the plot of Wicked, making the creative team laugh and the “great responsibility” of being the first Black woman to play Glinda in any production of Wicked worldwide. It's good to see her, isn't it? Plus -- could Kevin pull off a Fantine/Eponine split track? --- Looking for a way to support the pod? Join our new subscription: The Sentimental Men Green Circle!

L. Frank Baum's Wicked Witch of the West was an unnamed old crone who was blind in one eye and happened to be a perfectly normal color. Elphaba, as she's written in Wicked the Musical, is a complex and vulnerable young woman with glowing green skin. When did this witch turn green? When did she start singing? Did she always fly? Settle down, class! It's time for a history lesson.
