It's 36 - thirt-ee-six - actually. (No prob people get the number wrong all the time.)
36 Questions is a Broadway-caliber podcast musical that you can put in your earholes and listen to right now!!
The songs have over 30 million listens as of the time of me writing this which is absolutely crazy bananas.
It stars Jonathan Groff and Jessie Shelton as a husband and wife whose marriage is on the verge of divorce who have to use 36 questions designed to make strangers fall in love. It’s three acts long. And you can listen to it wherever podcasts are available.
The best part is that it is available everywhere always forever. It was produced by Skip Bronkie and Zack Akers of Two Up Productions.
Such a good question. Chris and I both wrote the music - although I would say that usually our process is that, with some scene work and lots and lots and lots of character work already figured out, and a lengthy discussion about what the song needs to do, I will throw out some chords and some dummy lyrics, hand it off to Chris, who will then hand it back to me with all sorts of changes, and I will begin to arrange it. So I “take point” on music. But it’s very much a mutual collaboration.
Pass. 😉
Skip and Zack at Two Up Productions gave us this long line: "a couple on the brink of divorce who use the 36 Questions to get back together."
From there we spun out a million different possibilities of characters and stories where the questions would be crucial to the characters arcs. Ultimately it had to be something that we really identified with.
We kept coming back to the idea of “Do you ever really know someone? And if you know them completely, can you still love them?”
