Episodes of the new musical will be released every Tuesday through May 12. A digital podcast soundtrack recording, produced by Broadway Records and featuring the podcast's original twenty-two songs, is also available everywhere music is sold. LITTLE DID I KNOW tells the story of a group of friends - recent college graduates - who bring a broken-down summer theatre back to life in 1976. The summer will be different from anything they expected. Told over nine episodes, approximately thirty minutes each, LITTLE DID I KNOW includes twenty-two original songs. The Audio Drama Initiative, headed by Lou Aronica and Mitchell Maxwell, was founded in 2019 to develop and produce audio dramas based on literary works. In the fall of 2019, the company released the audio drama The Thursday Night Club, a Christmas story based on the novella by Steven Manchester, which was published by their sister company, The Story Plant whose current library includes nearly 200 titles. Their next project will be released later this month and deals with the current situation engulfing our nation. |
