Happy Ides of April/Tax Day to you all! I know I've been away for a while, but I promised you something special and here it is: a celebratory anniversary riff of the original, uncut edition of my very first review subject, Titanic: The Legend Goes On! Thank you for all the views and support!

Musical Hell SPECIAL EDITION: Jem and the Holograms w/ That Long-Haired Creepy Guy!

Hey everyone, remember when there was a Jem and the Holograms movie for about two minutes a few years back? Well, there was, and I'm taking it to task with the creator of the Jem Retrospective (and many other wonderful things,) That Long-Haired Creepy Guy! Check out more of his work here!




And don't forget the usual schedule is interrupted until May, so that I might do real-world thingies and also bring you a special riffing event next month!

Know the Score--Musicals 101: Hadestown

Know the Score: Mary Poppins Returns

Hope everyone had/is having a great holiday!  While you're cleaning up the wrapping paper and polishing off the leftovers, here's what I thought of Mary Poppins Returns!
