Off the Wire: The Musical! | Episode 244 | UMTV Live
Off the Wire returns with a very special LIVE musical episode! Host Wrigley Kordt reflects on his high school theater days before attempting to assemble Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire: The Musical. Harrison Wilmot puts together the show’s crew in the musical number “You’re in the Show.” An open call for auditions brings an Iowa girl with a song in her heart, rapper Vanilla Ice, and amateur puppeteer Jack Gonzalez to the studio. The This is the News team covers the week’s biggest headlines, including the canceled season of The Bachelorette and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s wig in the new live-action Moana. The musical’s grand finale goes awry, but a musical performance from Joshua Bromberg saves the day.
