Something Rotten! Something Sweet! Eating Cupcakes And Meeting Broadway Actors

Today, I took a cupcake break with two people who made me laugh for a solid two hours last night: Rob McClure and Maggie Lakis.

They're the stars of "Something Rotten!", the Broadway musical playing at the Orpheum through this Sunday. I'll get to my quick Q&A with them, but first let me tell you about the cupcakes and this show.
