part 1 originally released: January 10, 2018

Dramaturg Lauren Halvorsen is here for the first of our epic, two-part dive into both musical versions of THE WILD PARTY. Here we cover not only Andrew Lippa's off-Broadway take on Queenie, Burrs, Black, et al.; we also talk through Joseph Moncure March's novella-length poem upon which both musicals are based.

part 2 originally released: January 17, 2018

The thrilling conclusion to our deep-dive into THE WILD PARTY. We talk the La Chuisa/Wolfe Broadway version, Mandy Patinkin, the philosophy of adaptation, Mandy Patinkin, which we prefer, and Mandy Patinkin in . . . (not a joke, wish it was) blackface.

 

Poem excerpts read and recorded by Lee Liebeskind.
