Bottomless Broadway

What's "That Beautiful Sound"?  A podcast on Beetlejuice the Musical!  All you'll want to do is hear THIS sound: our discussion on the musical and how it compares to the movie, as well as our predictions for some of the Tony categories that are completely irrelevant now! -- Want to see how Alex Brightman creates the voice of Beetlejuice? Take a look at his vocal chords! Check out this New York Times article for more about Sophia Anne Caruso and why she's drawn to the part of Lydia. We didn't get a chance to mention her by name, but Delia Deetz (and Miss Argentina) is played by the fabulously funny Leslie Kritzer. Everyone agrees that David Korins's set is a definite highlight, see what he has to say about it! Warner Bros. is just another movie studio trying to find their hit Broadway show, though they've been trying for a while. No release date yet on the cast recording, but they're set to record in May.  Meanwhile, take a listen to these released songs: Dead Mom Say My Name That Beautiful Soun

"Whaddya Do" when you see Broadway’s newest cross-dressing comedy, Tootsie? You spend your subway ride home listening to our review of it, of course!  You heard it here first, or you just heard a lot of Santino fangirling but either way we have all the details. -- Christine couldn’t remember the name of the orchestrator when talking about instrumentation, but shoutout to Simon Hale for providing that grand golden-age sound!  Also mistakenly omitted: praise for “I Won’t Let You Down” and how it’s smartly reprised in “I Like What She’s Doing,” which you can hear a snippet of in new show clips from Broadway.com, hot off the presses today! Say what you want about Michael Riedel and the New York Post, but he wrote a nice little article on how Tootsie the Musical started out (and we’re glad they managed to find the creative team that they did!) We weren’t familiar with the original movie before, but if you ask actors, it’s the best movie of all time.   Curious about Crazy Ex-Girlfriend? You can watch

Cindy journeyed way down to Hadestown and can confirm: the show is hot as hell.  You heard it here first--more accurate and more prompt than the official reviews!  -- Learn more about what the road to Broadway was like in this article!  Check out the music video for Why We Build the Wall!  Want to listen to the songs before the Broadway album comes out?  Cindy's got you covered with her Apple Music playlist.  Edit: Listen to the Broadway Cast Album now! iTunes / Spotify Want to check out Cindy's write-up of Patrick Page in Nassim?  Take a look at our new blog!  Do you agree with our Tony predictions?  Just want to talk about how great Hadestown is?  Come find us on Twitter @BottomlessBway.

LGBQTeens…and non-teens: the subject of our first episode where we talk about The Prom and Head Over Heels.  One wore it better, but both ushered in this Tony season’s attempts to make Broadway gayer, while scandalizing parents on and off stage. -- Cindy thinks it isn’t possible, but if anyone thinks they’re up to the task of fixing the book of Head Over Heels, tweet us @BottomlessBway.
