    Golden-age musicals are problematic. Even the ones you don't think are problematic are problematic.

February's episode features Lauren Halvorsen (The Wild Party) and Kenny Neal (Starlight Express) talking about Bugsy Malone (1976) which is like the Little Rascals doing GoodFellas to the Xanadu soundtrack.

    Show notes

    It's our THREE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY so we've got a big episode with a big guest talking about a small show that has big ideas about small moments and long songs. Very long songs. So very, very long, these songs.

    Topics include: Man 2 is the worst, Mic time for sad white men, why these songs are so long, why are all Man 1's songs gospel-infused, Woman 2's agency, Woman 1's agency, JRB's guest vocalizing Catholic School, and why Billy Porter isn't on this album.

    Suport Mary's Kickstarter to send her and Marx in Soho to Edinburgh Fringe!

    Intermission: Ragtime - The Book (w/ Elliot Dash) Mar 06, 2019
    Show notes

    Before it was a Flaherty/Ahrens/McNally musical, Ragtime was a Miloš Forman movie.

    And before that, it was a novel by E.L. Doctorow.

    And before that, some of the characters were real people.

    And before that, some of those real people were real babies.

    We don't go back that far.

    Featured recordings: Ragtime - Original Broadway Cast Recording (1997)
