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.

I foresee becoming very into Paddington the Musical now I’ve seen the clip of Marmalade and the artist making the oranges. He’s such a cute bear.

This week for Thursday Five List, @neurothing gave us a theme of Showtime - songs about shows, plays, performances, etc.

I can't think of five songs, but I can think of a musical about creating the worst musical of all time - The Producers. https://musiccloud.io/ID-OM

Kind of a cop out, but...it's literally ALL I can think about based on this theme  

🎵 I want to be a producer... 🎵

OMG I just realised one of the coolest community theatres in our city is hosting a production of Avenue Q next month! Can't wait to see it;

I learned about the existence of this quirky musical a few years back, when someone pointed me at this video;

Everything about this is hilarious. I hadn't laughed so hard in years.
