Ep. 2 - ”I Don‘t Know How to Love Him” with special guest Jack Cummings III
Joanna Parson and Lance Werth talk with Jack Cummings III, Obie-winning Artistic Director of off-Broadway's Transport Group, about listening to Helen Reddy's music in the '70s and beyond.
In this episode we hone in on the first song in "Reddy or Not: A Musical Comedy Tribute to Helen Reddy," "I Don't Know How to Love Him". We talk Jesus Christ Superstar, Yvonne Elliman, and the great movement in female vocals that inspired us then and now. We also work hard to uncover the most insipid lyrics from the era (NEVER Helen's), and chat about what makes a great theater song, as opposed to cabaret or pop.
