    Apr 15 2025
    Composer Cy Coleman gave Broadway some of its most iconic melodies: Big Spender, Real Live Girl, Hey, Look Me Over, and the list goes on and on. He was the King of 60s smooth swing and had never once closed a show out of town….until…. Along with a wild crew including a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, a testy choreographer, a director unsure of the material, and a leading man who was as eccentric offstage as he was on, Cy Coleman tried to bring a bucolic morality musical to life but Home Again, Home Again shuttered in Canada. But soon Coleman had an idea for his next musical! A musical about a musical whose wild crew included a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, a testy choreographer, a director unsure of the material, and a leading man who was as eccentric offstage as he was on, as they all careened to opening on the great bright way. See what happened was…well, you will just need to jump into our episode focusing on Baker’s Dozen/Home Again/Home Again Home Again/10 Days to Broadway/13 Days to Broadway…..yes….there are more titles.

    Lolita, My Love (1971)
    Apr 1 2025
    Trigger Warning: This episode deals with pedophilia If there was source material that no one ever thought could be a musical, you would go to one man to write it. Not Lin Manuel Miranda. Not Stephen Sondheim. Not even Oscar Hammerstein. You would go to lyricist Alan Jay Lerner who, along with Frederick Loewe, created Brigadoon, Camelot, and the juggernaut known as My Fair Lady. But when Loewe chooses to retire, and Broadway moves to pop, Alan Jay Lerner has two options. He can either retire himself OR try to outdo the current crop of edgy young songwriters who are putting sex, drugs, rock and roll onstage. Could Lerner top them all with the adding songs to the most scandalous book ever written? See what happened was….well, you will need to find out for yourself when we see what happened when Alan Jay Lerner tried to get audiences excited about turning Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita, a book centered on the adoration of nymphets, into a big old musical called Lolita, My Love!
