Know the Score: Music Theatre Tropes-I Am and I Want Songs

Today in Know the Score, we're discussing the ways characters in musicals sing about themselves.  It's something that happens quite a lot.

Musical Hell Review: Sci-Fi High: The Movie Musical

There's not much to say about this month's Musical Hell review subject.  It's bad.  Really bad.  Proceed with caution--I wish I had.

Know the Score: Come from Away (Musicals 101)

Hey everybody, wouldn't you like to see a toe-tapping, feel-good musical about the aftermath of 9/11?  No, this isn't some kind of Springtime for Hitler deal.  It's Come From Away, and it's really much, much better than it sounds.





And while on the subject of lending a helping hand, I'm dedicating this month's Patreon proceeds to Hurricane Irma relief in St. Martin and Barbuda.  If you'd like to contribute a dollar or two to that cause (and future videos), click here.  If you'd just like to cut out the middleman and donate directly to a worthy NPO, click here.

Musical Hell Review: The Fantasticks

Happy Labor Day, peeps!  And since it's September, we're going to "try to remember" The Fantasticks and what made it so wonderful.  Because honestly, the film version doesn't give you much of a clue.

Musical Hell Review: Popeye

This month, Musical Hell takes a look at a musical based on a beloved comic strip character.  No, not that one.  Or that one.  I'm referring to that great(?) Robert Altman-Robin Williams collaboration, Popeye!

Thanks to Miriam Gronli for the title card!

Know the Score: Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812

Heya everybody, I'm making up for lost time here with a new video!  Here's my take on what I think is the real best show of the 2016-17 season, Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812!
