Season 9: Keep It Musical! - Oh! What a Lovely War (Episode 24)

September 28, 2023 • Kyle Bruehl • Season 9 • Episode 24

In the twenty-fourth episode of Season 9 (Keep It Musical!) Kyle is joined by musician Ben Childs and writer August Gummere to discuss the blend of surrealist whimsy and devastating emotional ruin in the scathing anti-war musical about officer class ineptitude and the savage dehumanized sacrifice of men of World War I in Richard Attenborough's ambitious directorial debut Oh! What a Lovely War (1969).
