    ... About Moulin Rouge Part 2

    This one's got it all folks, especially spoilers! If you don't want the scoop on the live production, stay away! Adriana is here with all the details straight from Broadway. We chat onstage romance, mashups, and the best show cocktails.  CORRECTION: I have been openly frustrated about the replacement of "One Day I'll Fly Away" with "Firework". Specifically the lyrics "do you ever feel like a plastic bag" (because plastic wasn't discovered until 1907 or commercially used until decades later). That lyric is not in the song! The arrangement begins in the second verse, so I can now take a chill pill.

    ... About Cats

    It's one of those shows you either love or hate. Let me show you how to appreciate this bizarre piece of theatre! Cats is a triumph on the stage, even if sitting through 2.5 hours of it can feel like a little much. Join me this episode (with my brand new sound set up) as I share my fascination with this insane feline-focused acid trip.  Featuring music by Andrew Lloyd Webber: Jellicle Songs, Memory (Diane Buckley) Intro Music from Kevin Macleod
