Welcome to Litsy!

Wicked is in theaters this weekend: a book that became a Broadway show that is now a movie. Are you excited?!
For #tuesdaytunes today, I'm sharing my favorite stage show adapted into a movie. Hedwig and the Angry Inch is a rock musical about an East German singer who tells the story of her betrayal by a collaborator who used their work to gain fame for himself. Created by John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask.

Absolutely loved this show!! #youwillbefound

Here are my three favorite comedy quotes from the list 😅

Do I have some complaints & concerns? Yes , I do! Happy 4th of July to all who celebrate!

I saw this show live for the first time *just* after my 35th. Sondheim always nails the nuance. His musicals somehow always feel real and the characters feel like friends. 🥺🫶🏻🎶

Celebrated my bday weekend at my happy place (Broadway 💖🫶🏻🎭)

Like so much of Sondheim‘s work - it only grows truer & more ubiquitous with time. It‘s shocking, really.

The fact that this show debuted after his arguably most commercially accessible musical (my fave - Into the Woods) shows the range this man offered us.

Maybe this libretto is a weird choice to crack into this weekend but its subject matter feels more relatable than ever in this divided nation mindset. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Now I need to look up clips from the original off-Bway cast bc Terry Mann? Victor Garber? Annie Golden? Phew.

As a kid I just loved musicals. My favorites….
1- West Side Story
2- Fiddler on the Roof
3- Pippen
