    Gone With The Wind: The Musical (1974)
    Apr 4 2024
    When we think of "out of town" tryouts we think of Boston, New Haven, Philadelphia, Detroit, Tokyo….. Yes, Tokyo! In the 1970s Tokyo had become the center of Japanese culture and it was giving its citizens home grown movies, literature, plays, and paintings but it had not given its public a musical that was cultivated in Japan. So what better option than an hour adaptation of Gone With The Wind? Well, what happened was…..well were gonna let Miss Scarlett herself, Lesley Ann Warren, tell you in this week’s episode of which explores Gone With the Wind: The Musical! Well, fiddle- dee- dee!

    Paper Moon (1993)
    Mar 28 2024
    This one is a heart-breaker, friends. A real, honest to Sondheim heart-breaker. Like Avenue Q beating Wicked heart-breaker because, unless without a deus ex machina at Paramount Studios, we will never, ever see a musical that everyone says was one of the greatest musicals of the 1990s. Starring Christine Ebersole, Gregory Harrison, and......wait, why should I tell you when book writer Martin Casella and ensemble members John Bolton and Christopher Sieber can as they back on 1993's Paper Moon.

    The Baker's Wife (1976)
    Mar 21 2024
    What do a nine minute song about a bird, the chest hair of Israel's greatest entertainer, an FBI pursuit of a missing lead sheet, and a list of firings as long as Paul Sorvino's range have in common? They were all part of the madcap, wild, manic, and tumultuous ride of Stephen Schwartz and Joseph Stein's The Baker's Wife. Get ready as original cast members Carole Demas, Kurt Peterson, Teri Ralston, as well as original press agent Joshua Ellis, look back on Topol, Patti LuPone, David Merrick, and a meadowlark longing to break free.
