Sentimental Men

The best way to bring folks together is to give them a REALLY GOOD TEASER TRAILER. We’re back and we couldn’t be happier to have our first look at the Wicked movies. From Cynthia’s green contacts to Ariana arriving at Shiz by ballet slipper… listen in as we get Sentimental about every last wonderful detail. Plus, we keep dreaming up our perfect Dr. Dillamond.

Hey, Sentimentals! Don’t forget that Sentimental Men Live is on December 11 at 7PM. We’d love for you to join us in person at The Green Room 42 or by livestream! You can purchase tickets at thegreenroom42.venuetix.com. To celebrate the end of an Oztastic year for the Sentimental Men podcast, Quincy and Kevin are live at Green Room 42 to talk (and maybe scream) with some of their favorite women in musical theatre.

All proceeds will benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. - - - - - Looking for a way to support the pod? Join us in the Green Circle, our paid Patreon subscription.
