It's A Musical! Podcast Ep.51 -Trail To Oregon

It’s more than a game, no two shows will ever be the same, we’re on The Trail To Oregon!
We’re back this week with another StarKid Production, as we discuss our first video game adaptation. It’s a show about Independence, as we follow a family of pioneers through The Grind of journeying the toughest trail. With some unique audience participation, and a cast of hilarious characters, this should really set Danny’s Wagon On Fire!
Will this be one he’s eager to Speed Run time and time again, or will this one leave him wishing he lived in a Dysentery World?
