Kevin Froleiks returns to the podcast to discuss his newest project: a musical based on Lewis and Clark.  After checking in to see how each is weathering the aftermath of the 2016 US Presidential Election, Kevin and Will discuss the process of creating a musical from idea to first public performance.  Kevin discusses his first foray into serious original song writing in a genre he had minimal prior experience with, casting and rehearsing a full stage production in New York City on minimal budget, and the feeling of freedom that comes from taking control over your own creativity, and the course of your career.
