#41: Striking 12 for New Years with Groovelily

I chat with Valerie Vigoda and Brendan Milburn of the Rock trio Groovelily about their musical theatre piece Striking 12, the holiday musical for people who don't like holiday musicals!

We enjoy a bottle of Rioja and talk about their long road touring, working together and developing new music, with a few clips of their show worked in.

The Bitch of Living

The producers of Spring Awakening understand viral marketing alright! This video is amazing, and only captures 1/10th of the energy onstage. Get to the Eugene O'Neill Theatre and SEE THIS SHOW!!

#38: Racism, Homophobia and The Real World

Archerr from www.archerradio.com joins me for a frank discussion about MTV's The Real World Denver, and the flap over the use of the "n-word" on this week's episode. We talk about the incident, homophobia, and the liberal lubrication of liquor on MTV's dime.

#37: Rags, the 4th Annual World AIDS Day Concert

I was blessed to be invited to a special rehearsal of Rags, the legendary musical by Joseph Stein, Charles Strouse, and Stephen Schwartz. These legends of the Broadway community are responsible for some of the greatest shows, including Fiddler on the Roof, Zorba, Bye Bye Birdie, Annie, Pippin, Godspell,and Wicked. I interview all three, as well as stars Carolee Carmello (Parade, Lestat and Mamma Mia) and her husband Gregg Edelman (Wonderful Town, Passion, Into the Woods), and Carol Di Paolo of the Joey Di Paolo AIDS Foundation.

Rags, directed by Stafford Arima and produced by Jamie McGonnigal, will be performed in concert on Dec 11th at the Nokia Theatre on Broadway as a benefit for the Joey Di Paolo AIDS Foundation, which serves youth with HIV and AIDS by sponsoring Camp TLC and other projects to enrich their lives.
