Elise and Marcelo talk about the TRADITION around the 1964 Broadway classic and its 1971 Oscar-winning adaptation. It’s a Fiddler! On the Roof?!

Elise and Marcelo kick off season three with a Cats Redux. A trip to New York City and Cats: The Jellicle Ball has turned them into full-blown Cats Converts. All hail Old Deuteronomy! Instead of revisiting the nightmarish Cats (2019) movie, on this episode, Elise and Marcelo discuss the seminal documentary Paris is Burning (1990) to prepare for the ball. This fall they’ll officially begin season three with Fiddler on the Roof, it’s their TRADITION, after all.

Elise and Marcelo close out this season of Stage to Screen by looking back at some musicals they’ve seen recently, then they look ahead to season three, and finally, they review Wicked: For Good!

Elise and Marcelo get into a classic on both counts, the musical and the film adaptation of Cabaret. Liza, fascism, queer representation, jazz hands; it’s all here at the Pod Kast Klub!

Elise and Marcelo spend 4 hours and 20 minutes discussing Lin-Manuel Miranda’s In the Heights, from watching the original Broadway run (one of them did that) to the deep connection they have with the film (directed by the Wickedly talented Jon M. Chu).
