A quick look at a dive into a carnival purgatory, where sadness, joy, love, and the macabre come together to form a wonderful musical full of surprises.

Phantom of the Opera

Dec 30th, 2018 8m 21s

Phantom of the Opera is an operatic macabre musical centered on a Phantom and his object of utter adoration, the singer Christine Daae. I encourage even those who have seen a live performance to listen to the soundtrack, especially if they can'

Assassins

Dec 27th, 2018 37m 26s

Assassins is about... well, what it sounds like. A group of Assassins, successful or unsuccessful over the years in the U.S. This is a tricky and controversial musical, so listen in to what my guest star David and I have to say about this music

Come From Away

Nov 23rd, 2018 7m 12s

Hey there! In times such as these, it is important to see the damage being done, but also to recognize that events of all kinds are things that bring people together in a way nothing else could. Come From Away is a deep musical about 9/11, but

Mamma Mia

Jul 8th, 2018 6m 33s

A fast-paced musical with deception hanging from the air... well, that doesn't really set it apart from other musicals, does it? One girl, Sophie, is about to be married and is trying to find her dad so he can give her away- but when she invite

Hamilton

Mar 31st, 2018 6m 40s

A rap musical about founding fathers. Up until Hamilton, this seemed impossible... but it holds place number two in my heart of choreography so far (Newsies holding place number one, obviously). This musical has it all: Love, Desire, Loss, Hear

Newsies

Feb 17th, 2018 7m 28s

A musical probably best known for its incredible dancing, but with amazing(!) songs as well. From lovely accents to unforeseen love to confusing ship names, Newsies is one of the best musicals around. AND it's on Netflix! (^-^)

Legally Blonde

Jan 2nd, 2018 3m 37s

My reaction was, "THIS IS A MUSICAL???!" when I first heard that Legally Blonde was not just going to be a movie anymore, but a full fledged mind-blowing musical. Needless to say, I enjoyed every minute of watching it.

The Crucible

Dec 3rd, 2017 3m 55s

NOT A MUSICAL!!!! I recently saw The Crucible play at Act Theater, and decided to make a shorter episode about it. It was really about how readily people will stab each other in the back and communism, but masked by talking about the Salem Witc

Chicago

Nov 20th, 2017 7m 6s

In this (slightly longish) episode, I will rant and rave about Bob Fosse's Chicago, a very meta musical. Characters, plot lines, songs, choreography, all in this episode about murderous women: Chicago, The Musical.
