on Broadway, and Tom’s spectacular book, “How Does The Show Go On”,
now in its third edition. A bit later, Rob gives us a look
into The Center Theatre Group, the storied Los Angeles nonprofit
theatre where Tom got his start, and before all that, Rob and Jamie
address a little show called “Hamilton”.. This Week’s

Tonight” from “The Lion King”, “Arabian Nights” and “High
