Godspell with Carly Quinn

July 30, 2020 19:54 - 38 minutes - 33.2 MB

This week we chat with Carly Quinn about on of the original bible-based musical - Godspell! The original book has been stuffed fruitcake-full of gags about contemporary figures and current trends. An abbreviated list would include Heidi Klum and Donald Trump, Steve Jobs and Lindsay Lohan, and even the inventor of the Shake Weight, whoever he or she may be. There are jokes about Facebook, naturally, and Occupy Wall Street, inevitably. (“Wicked” too: I guess even that megahit musical, also fe...

Kiss of the Spider Woman with Matt Young

July 23, 2020 19:12 - 1 hour - 49.6 MB

This week we chat with Matt Young about which of life's truths can be gleaned from the movie-obsessed, Kander and Ebb written, Chita Rivera vehicle - Kiss of the Spider Woman! In his review of the Broadway production for The New York Times, Frank Rich wrote that the musical "does not meet all the high goals it borrows from Manuel Puig's novel. When it falls short, it pushes into pretentious overdrive (a "Morphine Tango", if you please) and turns the serious business of police-state torture ...

Footloose with Emma-June Curik

July 16, 2020 19:03 - 53 minutes - 36.9 MB

This week we chat with Emma-June Curik about which of life's truths can be gleaned from the dance-revolution musical - Footloose! "There have certainly been worse musicals on Broadway than ''Footloose,'' the $6.5 million adaptation of the hit 1984 movie that starred Kevin Bacon. Yet it's hard to think of one so totally unaffecting. The music in the show is loud, for sure, with a propulsive beat designed to set toes tapping and fingers snapping. The score is peppered with flashy dance tunes ...

Camelot with Mathew Hannibal Butler

July 02, 2020 19:25 - 47 minutes - 32.6 MB

This week we chat with Matthew Hannibal Butler about which of life's truths can be gleaned from the Kennedy-favourite musical - Camelot! "A 1993 review in The New York Times commented that the musical "has grown in stature over the years, primarily because of its superb score ... [which] combined a lyrical simplicity with a lush romanticism, beautifully captured in numbers like 'I Loved You Once in Silence' and 'If Ever I Would Leave You.' These ballads sung by Guenevere and Lancelot are am...

The Court Jester with Eloise Dundas-Taylor

June 25, 2020 19:08 - 58 minutes - 38.7 MB

This week we chat with Eloise Dundas-Taylor about which of life's truths can be gleaned from the classic swashbuckling musical film - The Court Jester! Time Out says, “Spasmodically effective spoof of Robin Hood-style adventures, with Kaye as the former circus clown joining up with a band of outlaws to overcome a tyrannical usurper king. Whether it's really watchable depends on what you feel about the charmless Kaye, whose vehicle this is from start to finish.” - FURTHER READING - https:/...

The Threepenny Opera with Matt Caffoe

June 18, 2020 19:49 - 1 hour - 40.9 MB

This week we chat with Matthew Caffoe of Mashed Theatre about which of life's truths can be gleaned from Berthold Brecht’s many-times-adapted classic musical/opera - The Threepenny Opera! According to critic and musicologist Hans Keller, the work is "the weightiest possible lowbrow opera for highbrows and the most full-blooded highbrow musical for lowbrows". The Weill authority Stephen Hinton notes that "generic ambiguity is a key to the work’s enduring success", and points out the work's ...

Reprise: Anything Goes with the Hosts

June 15, 2020 19:59 - 57 minutes - 56.3 MB

This week we chat amongst ourselves about which of life's truths can be gleaned from the ship-board musical - Anything Goes! “If you try to imagine a grown-up Annie, of the musical by that name, you might easily find her to be a lot like Reno Sweeney, the lead character of Cole Porter’s “Anything Goes” — sassy and brassy, big-hearted and big-voiced. And still with red hair. It is no surprise, then, that Andrea McArdle, the original Broadway Annie, who won a 1977 Tony nomination for her per...

Fellowship! the Musical Parody with Kieran Davey

June 11, 2020 21:28 - 56 minutes - 36.3 MB

This week we chat with Kieran Davey about which of life's truths can be gleaned from the musical parody of The Fellowship of the Ring - Fellowship! the Musical Parody! Kris Noteboom said “J.R.R. Tolkien’s books are ripe for parody. Heavy drama, weird names, weird creatures, an arduous quest with one of the most glaring plot holes in literary history. It’s all there. But, that actually makes creating a good parody difficult. Thankfully, the authors have succeeded here. First, the songs are ...

Muriel's Wedding with Laurene Cooper-Fox

This week we chat with Laurene Cooper-Fox about which of life's truths can be gleaned from the Australian movie classic-turned-musical - Muriel’s Wedding! The Sydney Morning Herald commented that: "Muriel's Wedding feels like the complete package: a beloved film seamlessly updated; a central character who retains all the ambiguities that made you root for her in the first place; a conspicuously inventive score peppered with classic pop hits, and a mainstage debut that will be talked about f...

Little Women with Paige McKay

May 28, 2020 19:13 - 37 minutes - 20 MB

This week we chat with Paige McKay about which of life's truths can be gleaned from woman-led classic - Little Women! The Village Voice reviewer noted "The show itself, similarly, seems lost in the drafty hugeness of the Virginia, where the often charming family scenes are dwarfed by the high proscenium arch (emphasized by the metal scaffolding that frames Derek McLane's otherwise attractive settings). The pity of it is that, between seizures, so much of Little Women's reality has been esta...

Anastasia with Zoe Jeffrey

May 21, 2020 19:27 - 42 minutes - 23 MB

This week we chat with Zoe Jeffrey about which of life's truths can be gleaned from not-a-Disney-film turned Broadway show - Anastasia! The Hollywood Reporter reviewer, David Rooney, wrote "The seamlessness and storytelling economy of that opening sequence is quite impressive, deftly handling the ambiguity surrounding Anastasia's fate, while her family is murdered by revolutionaries. But the long first act gets bogged down, and while Ahrens and Flaherty certainly know how to craft a narrati...

It's Not Really The Apocalypse with Michael Grant

May 19, 2020 12:06 - 31 minutes - 21.1 MB

In this special episode, we chat with Michael Grant of the United Kingdom about which of life's truths can be gleaned from his brand-new, ragtime-esque musical - It's Not Really The Apocalypse! “Apocalypse”‘s 15 tracks work together just as a musical score should but when pulled apart and heard independently, still provide fully fleshed out ideas more than capable of entertaining on their own.” throwthediceandplaynice.com - FURTHER READING - Website: www.michaelgrantmusician.com YouTube:...

REPRISE: Candide with Shannon Foley

May 18, 2020 20:09 - 51 minutes - 52.1 MB

This week we chat with Shannon Foley about which of life's truths can be gleaned from philosophical and incredibly not-historical opera/operetta/musical/whatever - Candide! The tale that Voltaire's classic satire tells is long and winding. And the tale of the Broadway show or (as Bernstein called it) American operetta to its present state as quintessential American opera (or music theater piece) is also long and winding. Over the years the piece got new books, new numbers, additional lyrics...

This week we chat with Helen Stephens about which of life's truths can be gleaned from sassy, sexy, darkly comedic retro satire that has taken the world by storm - Heathers! Marilyn Stasio, writing for Variety, wrote "...Seasoned industry pros could pick up a few tips on the Do’s and Don’ts of adapting material from this smartly executed musical treatment of “Heathers.” She praised the lyrics but was not a fan of the music, writing: "Even at their giddiest, the lyrics never dumb down the ch...

This week we chat with Jessica Kate Ryan about which of life's truths can be gleaned from the silver screen fable of Mack and Mabel! According to Kenneth Bloom, Mack & Mabel was "The saddest failure of Jerry Herman's career". It was a "victim of its time, an era when rock musicals were preferred over traditional musical comedy scores. Deep at its core was a simple love story and an exceptionally appropriate score. The urge to turn what could have been a bittersweet drama into a huge musical...

Adam Feldman of Time Out Magazine gave the show 4 out of 5 stars, saying "It is cheering to see a musical comedy that engages with modern questions, with a teenage lesbian romance at its center to boot...

This week we chat with Laurene Cooper-Fox about which of life's truths can be gleaned from that classic tale of love and unionization - The Pajama Game! "This is about capital and labour," a character announces at the start. But it's fair to say that the book by George Abbott and Richard Bissell is just as much about the romance that develops between an arrogant superintendent and a shopfloor militant in a midwestern pyjama factory. Refreshing as it is to find a musical in which passion col...

This week we chat with Alicia Poulter about which of life's truths can be gleaned from watching Dr. Seuss' best-loved characters collide and cavort in the unforgettable musical caper - Seussical! Somewhere in ''Seussical'' are the vestiges of a charming, unpretentious show, with a blithe, hummable score, about the transforming powers of imagination.

Theodore Strauss of The New York Times described the film as "all very easy and graceful; it never tries too hard to dazzle; even in the rousing and topical Fourth of July number, it never commits a breach of taste by violently waving the flag.
