On the way they discuss topics ranging from Billy Joel to Buddhism, T.S.Eliot to Stephen Sondheim, as well as sharing their insights into the original Broadway production, the acclaimed Deaf West production and the latest London revival at the Almeida Theatre.   You can find Piece by Piece on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram.
