"Who is the man you can't ignore, it's SUPERMAN! From Budapest to Baltimore it's SUPERMAN!"

Alan and Rob are joined once again by long-time friend of the show Matt Truex as they delve into the weird and wonderful history of the ill-fated (and yet indestructible) 1966 Broadway musical version of Superman.

Fascinating connections with the Superman movie series! Problematic villains! Questionable deviations from the source material! All of these oddities abound, culminating in what may in fact be the strangest piece of Superman media ever: the 1975 TV special adaptation of the musical! Get ready for some hot takes!

Later, Matt unearths a diamond in the rough - the 2010 Dallas revival of the musical which heavily adapted the original book, creating a brand new story far closer to the Superman legend so near and dear to our hearts. You won't want to miss this!

Be sure to send us any thoughts you have on the Broadway musical, YOUR favourite musicals (superhero or otherwise) or even a voicenote of you belting our your favourite musical numbers!

Alan & Rob are excited to be joined by none other than the voice of Clark Kent/Superman himself, actor George Newbern.

Star of iconic 80’s and 90’s films such as ‘Adventures in Babysitting’ and the ‘Father of the Bride’ movie franchise, George chats with the lads about what it was like to work with Christopher Reeve on 1988’s ‘Switching Channels’, the surreal experience of playing Nintendo with Brad Pitt and David Schwimmer on the set of FRIENDS, his love and respect for the late great Kevin Conroy and what it’s been like to voice The Man of Steel for over 25 years on projects like Justice League, Justice League Unlimited and the Injustice series of games.

George will be appearing at Dublin Comic Con on August 24th and 25th 2024. Tickets on sale now!
