Pre: 

Correction: In last week’s show, James stated that the live recording of Hadestown was from a production in Toronto. The live recording was actually from New York Theater Workshop, and there was not a production in Toronto. There was a production was at the Citadel Theatre in Edmonton, Alberta. Apologies for the mistake.
