    Kiss of the Spider Woman - Act 1

    It's the 90s but we're in the 50s! Or is it the 80s? It's Brazil! Or is it Argentina? It's the Kiss of the Spider Woman, an early 90s queer revolutionary musical based off a movie based off a novel and that currently has a movie adaptation that for some reason is being released the same month as Wicked For Good. Molina is a queer person imprisoned for being queer. Valentin has just been thrown into the same cell. The two of them must learn to survive each other and the tortures in store for them.  CW: This episode does deal with gender, sexuality, the expression thereof and how that's been expressed and recognized over the years as well as violence caused by that.

    The Scarlet Pimpernel - Act 1 (All Versions?) w/ Christine Caccipuoti from Footnoting History

    We're talking about the musical about the French Revolution!!! Wait, no, we didn't already do that because Les Mis doesn't take place during the French Revolution! It's Frank Wildhorn's The Scarlet Pimpernel, the musical with almost as many versions as Chess. Based on a novel (and a play and a series of books and a series of movies and ...) by Baroness Orczy at the turn of the century, it had a number of openings, closing, rewrites, and attempts at Tony awards. Percy Blakeney marries the beautiful French woman Margaueritte only to find she's been instrumental in turning in nobility to the executioners. So, he takes on a disguise to help people escape France, chased by the relentless Chauvelin. Find out what happens in the episode!
