BroadwayWorld is excited to bring you the newest episode of our first self-produced podcast - Ben Rimalower's Broken Records, The Albums You Wouldn't Shut Up About. On each weekly episode Rimalower and co-host Daniel Nolen chat with guests about one album that they were obsessed with, how they discovered it, what it led them to, where they were in life when it impacted them and how it's stayed with them since.

In this episode, Ben and Daniel talk to four-time Tony-winning lighting designer Kevin Adams about the soundtrack to the 1973 film "Jesus Christ Superstar." They also discuss "Hair," Barry Dennen, Barbra Streisand, Sandra Bernhard, "Without You I'm Nothing," Jodie Foster, Madonna, Tommy, Rupert Everett, Michael Mayer, Spike Lee, Jennifer Holliday, Stephen Trask, and John Cameron Mitchell.

Kevin's credits include "Hedwig and the Angry Inch," "Spring Awakening," "Passing Strange," "Next to Normal," "The Cher Show," and "SpongeBob SquarePants."
