Sarah Silverman’s new musical based on her book, “The Bedwetter,” opens for previews on April 30th at The Atlantic Theater in New York City. In this special episode, Sarah is joined by her two co-creators, Joshua Harmon and David Yazbek, to talk about all things “The Bedwetter” musical. They discuss how the musical evolved from Adam Schlesinger’s initial idea to his tragic passing, and how premiering two years later than expected has changed the musical for the better. David teaches us all what an “ostinato” is. Josh shares his favorite memory about their work sessions. Gain some insight into the show's content when Sarah shares how she used one of Adam’s jokes for her Nana's character and the scene involving children in Xanax pill costumes. Sarah takes some calls about musical and her tragic sleepaway camp experience. And, the three of them have a detailed conversation about birthday cake.
