So I finally watched 'KPop Demon Hunters' (silly and fun!) and all I could think while listening to these insanely catchy tunes is how hilarious it's gonna be when one of these beats the new 'Wicked' songs for an Oscar.

Before ‘Blue Moon’ became a Rodgers and Hart classic, the melody had been used in the song ‘The Bad in Every Man’ for 1934’s ‘Manhattan Melodrama.’ Some context: the singer, Shirley Ross, is in black face here and supposedly passing for a black woman here.
*dead pan*: Awesome.

Question. I have a small but devoted band of Patreon followers have donated $5/month for the last 2 years and I’m grateful. If I were to offer tiers for perks, what are things you would genuinely want offered that would make you want to support the channel? Just considering…

As happens with many episodes, I find great nuggets of info in my research that I can’t use. While working on my recent episode about Bette Midler, I learned that Broadway legend André De Shields choreographed or co-choreographed some of her early shows. What a gorgeous, elegant man then and now.

So grateful I got to see Audra McDonald do this role on Broadway. It was a huge swing on an iconic role with oodles of history and she threw her whole body and soul into this performance. Congratulations and a happy closing to the company of ‘Gypsy’.

Like many JCS fans, I have been pouring over clips coming out of the Hollywood bowl concerts this weekend and been absolutely giddy. Everyone is extraordinary, but I’ve been coming back to Cynthia singing ‘Gethsemane’ over and over again. Incredible!

Yours truly will be in London, UK the last week of October. I have time for one show. Recommendations? And as far as I know, ‘Evita’ will be closed.

No crazy takeaway from the @wickedmovie trailer. I’m excited. Mostly looks great. The trailer (at the very least) is appeasing the Gelphie fans. ‘No Good Deed’ better slap.
Oh, and I’m pretty sure that rider on the horse is Glinda. Just my theory. Pop off with yours! 🩷💚
