  1. Damn. I knew, and then temporarily forgot, that "The Nervous Set" was a beatnik / Beat Generation era (inspired) musical, but I failed to pick up on "The Ballad of the Sad Young Men" being a direct lift from F. Scott Fitzgerald - who, while not a Beat author, can definitely be considered to be a Beat precursor. Heck, the whole Lost Generation was a direct influence, once you see it.

    I love finding these interlocking webs betwixt different eras and movements. (And feel a little silly for not catching it sooner.)

  2. Like, is that also why Oklahoma! won a special Pulitzer award? I wonder if anyone has written a paper on this.

  6. The Wizard TERF's musical is part of the base season bundle for Broadway at the Paramount.

    I won't pay for a bundle that fuels her hate speech rhetoric and actions, and am very disappointed in Seattle Theatre Group (STG) for platforming this show.

  8. "If you could be an anarchist and still have a hero, [Tom Lehrer] was our hero." Now, I ask you, what's not to like about a brilliant wit who was an instructor in math and musical theatre and whose email address, according to this article from the Library of America, was livinglegend at ucsc dot edu? #Comedy #Music #MusicalTheatre #MusicalTheater #Musical #Math #Culture #Entertainment #TomLehrer loa.org/news-and-views/that-wa

  9. I enjoy NPX for what it is but it's not super conducive to musical theatre. And I'm not quite sure how to fix that, especially when it comes to works in development. Cold reading a musical is so much more difficult than reading a play.

    Maybe there's a new format that can be explored. Hyperlinking demos might be a start. It would be nice to have some sort of built-in media player as well.
