Introducing...A Walk In The Garden

About this episode

Todd Logan invites Lindsay Jones to help adapt Todd’s play Botanic Garden into a musical and almost immediately Lindsay realizes he has no idea how to write a musical. Lindsay writes the perfect opening song which everyone loves until they all realize that perhaps it’s not the perfect opening song. Inspired by Stephen Sondheim’s struggle to write “Comedy Tonight”, Lindsay creates “Why Am I Here” which is actually becomes the perfect song to open the show. Lindsay then vows to write an entire musical using only a piano, then immediately breaks this vow by adding in a metronome as musical instrument on “An Honest Lie”. This journey may have more twists than we thought. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
