The soundtrack of the tagged play was released in 1970 and my dad bought the album. I was 11. Somewhere in the mid 60‘s my mother became a Seventh Day Adventist and our household drastically changed. Listening to this album constantly was an act of rebellion. She HATED it. This clip popped up on IG yesterday so I thought why not share here. I still know all the words.

This is not book-related (although his musical Falsettos won Best Book at the 1992 Tonys!) but I had to take a moment to mourn William Finn, one of the greatest musical theatre composers to ever do it. If you're a theatre kid, join me in listening to Falsettos, A New Brain, Spelling Bee, and Elegies on repeat today. If you're not a theatre kid, can I interest you in discovering some damn good music and poignant stories? #SeeMoreTheatre
pickMy last read of #NFNovember and fits so nicely with 2024 being my year of Hamilton (finally watched it on Disney+ in July and quickly became obsessed, watching it live in person when it came to my city on my birthday). This book was interesting - love learning more about the process and Lin‘s notes about each song were fantastic. Love getting into musician‘s brains and he‘s someone I wouldn‘t mind chatting with

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

pickI 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 💖🫶🏻🎭)
