2008-03-18 00:00:00 by newmusicrebloggers in New Music reBlog
 
...musicals. HOMER has at least 5 numbers that fall into this category, so by this definition our piece is a hybrid. Musicals have songs and operas have arias.

2008-02-04 20:39:59 by Mark Wheat in The Current Music Blog
 
...musicals playing on Broadway right now!!... " Avenue Q " just opened here, and I think I overheard one of my co-workers saying that they were excited to see it, but I will let them out themselves!

2008-02-08 08:56:08 by HASH0x8bafd28 in Planet Hugill - Classical Music blog from Robert Hugill

These thoughts occurred to me whilst reading reviews of the new film of Sondheims Sweeny Todd . I have yet to see the film but find myself disturbed by the comments on how unused to singing the leading actors were For me, I must...

Frances Bean Cobain Acts, Dresses Nicely

...musicals, accompanied by a lovely quote from her mom: "Frances grew up on musicals ... I think musicals comfort her; it's a stability thing. And she's a gay man trapped in a woman's body, like me." And me. Seems the love was solidified when she saw Beauty And The Beast at eight and a half: "My nanny Linda took me.

...musicals of the pre-WWII era gave way to more dramatically-conceived shows, led by the work of RIchard Rodgers and Oscar Hammersteinnot coincidentally, another Sondheim mentor.
