Great news for niche interest, Greek mythology loving, musical theatre kids as 'EPIC: The Musical ', the sung-through concept musical adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey, that started as a self-funded project by Jorge Rivera-Herrans and a small group of amazingly talented young people he brought together, blending rock opera with pop and modern electronic music, is getting an animated movie. The entire nine-part arc is such an impressive feat made with love, and the success is very much deserved.

Chris Andrews TRACK OF THE WEEK!“Classic” https://timchrisandrews.bandcamp.com/track/classic When Chris is not composing musicals, rock’n’roll, or funky pop songs, he creates ambient instrumental music to ease the ears and mind. On a cosmic jukebox this would play somewhere between Enya and Vangelis.

Watching #Cabaret (1972) via streaming on #Tubi for the upteenth time.

Cabaret is one of my all time favorite #musicals & one of the lesser mentioned "facts" about it is the depiction of a 3 way #bisexual relationship between the characters played by #Liza, #MichaelYork & #HelmutGriem.

More accurately Helmut's character is bi & Helmut's is #gay. Still not sure about Liza's character -- she's not shown in a #lesbian encounter in the movie but I suspect she was bi too.

The complete cast recording of #Paddington dropped on YouTube this morning btw. 24 videos filling my feed 😁

Also, if you have #BBC #iplayer the performance of #Marmalade at the #OlivierAwards is about 22 minutes in.

Having just a line in my head, I listened to the full Marmalade song and hecking wow. Every so often we find something so joyful to love and this reminds me of falling in love with Cats in 1998. Dopamine goes zing in the AuDHD brain.

I love Paddington’s voice and when I heard it before, I didn’t realise there are two voices. I thought he didn’t always sound like I’d expect, being used to Ben Wishaw in the films, and the voice here is a similar vibe after all.

The animation in this is wonderful. Dare I admit I’ve never liked marmalade, though.
