Pick a Little, Talk A Little

Pile your hair high and get ready to integrate, it's time for pop musical fun, interspersed with civil rights or something. Gaby and co-host Emily have a lot of feelings about the amazing and annoying Tracy Turnblad, villains that play with Barbies in their teens, and is this show somehow reflective of Threepenny Opera? Maybe. Also all of the songs in this musical are long. So long. Really, really, long. And, the producer explains what's up with Blood on The Pavement.

It’s a movie musical - but it’s “much better” than you think! Gaby joins via Skype and she and guest host Stephanie Friedman discuss this feministravaganza about being yourself, hot guys, and women helping women, unless you’re Enid. Let’s go to Harvard Law, like it’s hard, join a Greek Chorus (LOL) and learn something about ourselves. There’s still like, butts, though.

WILKOMMEN to our Cabaret episode full of fun, sex, and loaded with self-deception. Deedily deedly dee! Two versions! Guest co-host Yonit takes the reins explaining the arguably better revival (and not just because Alan Cummings) while Gaby has a lot of personal feelings in this kind of horrifying story. What, did you only see the movie? Ahahaha, oh dear . . .

River, I love you . . . so do Gaby and guest host Harrison Benjamin. Take a trip down the mighty Mississippi with the musical adaptation of Huck Finn, featuring rich southern accents that we can't actually replicate, silly songs about dat gum guv'ment, and some actual serious stuff about slavery. Also, learn why Tom Sawyer is the worst! He's just the worst. We can't even curse him in English.

Magic to do, hearts to warm, sex presented . . . pa . . something . . . something . . . anyway! Gaby and guest co-host Arielle Shear talk about Pippin Pippin, Stephen Schwartz's college thesis full of awful female characters, fantastic patter, and amazingly flexible ensemble members. Let's be real, though, this episode is mostly about butts.

Pilot episode before we had good mics. But Gaby and co-host Harrison B. discuss THE ONLY SHOW EVER about con men in small towns, Broadway's first rap, what exactly is a Shipoopi, and surprise famous people from Gary, Indiana.
