    Ep. 356 - Amahl and the Night Visitors (1955) (w/ Colden Lamb)

    Ep. 356 - Amahl and the Night Visitors (1955) (w/ Colden Lamb)

    It's still Christmas in July and what better way than to talk about the first opera written for television about the three wise men. Colden is back to bring light to this opera to the masses, and hopefully have a production with one of our modern day opera superstars (hello Audra). And even though we watched the 1955 telecast, it is apparently the same as the original 1951 telecast.Colden's Social -Instagram: @coldenlambWebsite: www.coldenlamb.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ColdenLambA Marc Blitzstein Archive YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BlitzsteinArchivePodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: The Lion King II: Simba's Pride!

    WE! LOVE! CONRAD! Marc takes us back to 1995 to discuss the TV movie version of Bye Bye Birdie. He and Jon talk about Jason Alexander, have some notes on how to fix this, and lightly discuss the original movie.Marc's Instagram: @bwayghostlightMarc's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@broadwaybyghostlightPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: 'Twas the Night Before Christmas (1974)!

    Ep. 353 - Cabin in the Sky (1943) (w/ Lauren Gismondi)

    Lauren comes back to the pod to talk about the afterlife...sort of. Both she and Jon haven't seen this movie before, but Lauren knows the songs because of the stage show. Things also get a little weird this recording because the two have lost their minds.Lauren’s Instagram: @lagizz_sangsB*tch Please Instagram: @bitchplsepodPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: Bye Bye Birdie (1995 TV movie)!

    Ep. 352 - Camp Rock (2008) (w/ Derek Speedy and Shady)

    We got the band back together to nerd out about Stagedoor Manor whilst talking about a DCOM that they all didn't like. Except for those trumpet juice dispensers - where can we get those?Should we do the sequel?Shady's Twitter: @cookieoshadyMovie Deja Vu: https://linktr.ee/MoviedejavupodDerek’s Instagram: @dspeeds23Podcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: Cabin in the Sky!

    Ep. 351 - The Producers (2005) (w/ Matan Schahar and Sam Smit; Special Guest: Brad Oscar)

    Jon's so happy that we're finally covering this fantastic movie! Sam and Matan are back to see if this is the one musical movie that Matan likes, while Sam and Jon geek out about this movie. Also, Jon managed to bring on an original Broadway cast member of the stage show to talk about his time with the show.Lost in Blockbuster's Instagram: @lostinblockbusterPodcast Socials -Email: butasongpod@gmail.comFacebook: @butasongpodInstagram: @butasongpodTikTok: @butasongpodTwitter: @butasongpodNext episode: Camp Rock!
