Theater Of The Imagination. It’s inevitable. So here we are at the cutting edge of 21st century musicals – the musical podcast. It’s Radio Re-Imagined … only better.  Today we offer a PRELISTEN, to songs from a new musical written by Peter Link, Steve Tesich and Jacob Brackman..  This episode is entitled “Theater Of The Imagination - Part 3” The Musical …  King Of Hearts A Broadway Musical and eventually, A Podcast Musical We’ll take you back to the 60s when the movie, King Of Hearts ran for 6 years every Saturday night in Harvard Square during the Cold War. Then to the 70s when King Of Hearts, the musical, opened on Broadway after the end of the Viet Nam war and finally to the last day of World War I when King Of Hearts took place. This whimsical anti-war story, sadly, seems to never lose its timeliness and power.   Join Peter Link and his merry band of lunatics!
