I watch, read and make fun of stuff so you don't have to. Monday, September 19, 2011. One Night Only: 'After Hours'.

Why is the fire "Joe? There's not much plot to this one. The mining town is built. The townsfolk fall in love or lust. The mine dries up. Everyone leaves. In place of a plot we get a series of skits with the various eccentric townsfolk and a delightful Lerner and Loewe score. But cut most of the songs. I'm still de...

Musical Theater Librettos in Three Panels. Friday, October 31, 2014. At one point in Act II, Mr. Okulitch, his skin now covered in hideous scales, is suspended by wires. He enters his studio upside down, crawling along a ceiling crossbeam and then slithering head-first down a metal column, singing all the while. This is something voice students are not prepared for in conservatory training. New York Times. Thursday, October 30, 2014. Roxie Hart a mother? That's like making Leopold and Loeb Scoutmasters!
