Val's SBCF Recs #2 - Lapis Blue by Barbara Mazzi

Barbara Mazzi does it again....! Her comic "Hourglass" from SBCF 2022 is still one of my absolute favs. Needless to say I was very excited to read her comic for this year's fair, Lapis Blue.

I've read Lapis Blue a couple of times today, and on my third reread it made me cry (positive, lol). This depiction of a character who is so lonely, and so completely unable to connect with the people around her feels incredibly, nakedly real in a way I don't see often (at least not this honestly). It's tough to write characters like this. Aina's dialogue is intentionally awkward but still so carefully crafted to punch you in the gut as hard as possible.

I could also gush about Mazzi's art forever. It's so hard to resist saying things like "I wish I could draw like this" -- but God!! It's so true! The confident shapes and buttery inks + tones are to die for. I love seeing an artist make choices I would never even think to make, but wish I had. The amount of color language Mazzi creates through such a limited palette is amazing. Also -- when you pick up this comic you should really pay attention to how Mazzi shades hair (especially the reflection's). So glossy. A thousand chef's kisses.

"Welcome to the Theatre": Diary of a Broadway Baby

Follies in Concert

June 20, 2024 | Transport Group Theatre | Carnegie Hall | Evening | Concert | Series | 2H 20M

FOLLIES FOLLIES FOLLIES. THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY YEAR. THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY LIFE(?)

Last night, Carnegie Hall was New York's hottest gay club as every one of us turned up to weep over Sondheim's breathtaking score, played by a divine 30-piece orchestra. Fifty Broadway actors shared the roles and songs of this wonderful show, culminating in a lineup straight out of our wildest dreams.

Though we were robbed of a Donna Murphy triumph with "Could I Leave You?" due to filming schedule changes, we received the impromptu comedy show of the year as Beth Leavel grappled with a broken mic stand and brought the house down anyway.

Kate Baldwin as another eleventh-hour addition proved to be the best moment of the night. Her "Losing My Mind" will go down in history as one of the most divine we will ever hear. Not since Marin Mazzie has a theatre been so rapt, so silent, so in awe. She's always struck me as a Phyllis, but now proves she has the range.

Jennifer Holliday does what she wants, and what she wants was a smooth and seductive "I'm Still Here" full of gravitas even as she meandered far from the written notes and rhythms. She turned a five-minute showstopper into a nine-minute showstopper complete with a standing ovation to open up act two.

Karen Ziemba led six of our finest dancing Broads over sixty (or even seventy)(Mamie Duncan-Gibbs, Ruth Gottschall, JoaAnn M. Hunter, Dana Moore, Michele Pawk, and Margo Sappington) in a "Who's That Woman" original choreography to a standing ovation.

So many thrilling performances, one after the other. I am deeply in love with Barbara Walsh now, and it's honestly a crime she and Carolee Carmello were so underutilized by only having "Waiting for the Girls Upstairs" (Phyllis and Sally don't get much singing in that number, and it's a tragedy). I need to seriously contemplate the Barbara-Phyllis/Carolee-Sally dynamic immediately.

I am now dead. I have ascended. I will never come back to earth again. But the final tributes broke me. The reveal that Sondheim said in a private zoom reunion that Follies was his very favorite original score. The late Harvey Evans' epitaph. Original cast member Kurt Peterson ending the concert with "hey up there, way up there, what'd'ya say up there..." All of it underscored by Sondheim's brilliant work. I am in tears all over again.

Verdict: My Soul Transcended Space and Time

Next, Failure to Launch has been quite a bit of press, including outlets running exclusive previews of some of the comics included! Want to see what this anthology’s about, really “try before you buy”? Check out these stories of failure below:

AIPT Comics: “The World Turns” by Barbara Mazzi, about apocalypses that didn’t happen.

Screenrant: “When Do We Get Our Star Trek Future?” by J. Dalton, about the hollow promises of sci-fi economics.

Boing Boing: “Lead Balloon” by Katie Tiedrich, about adding deadly chemicals to gasoline for fun and profit.

Comics Beat: “Rats” by Ryan Estrada and Aarón Cruz, about a stage magician getting into a fight with the father of the radio over the future of wireless technology (it’s wild).

Geek Vibes Nation: “Zigurats” by André Valenté, about a totally-not-a-cult in Brazil that’s trying to psychically communicate with aliens and prove the world is not flat, but convex. 

Vol. 1 Brooklyn: “Magic City, All of Fire” by Evan Dahm, about the secret history of Coney Island.

Fangirl Nation: “The Pasilalinic Sympathetic Compass” by Maddi Gonzalez and Alice Woods, about using telepathic snails to communicate long-distance (I’m serious!).

Popverse: “CGIdol” by Victor Santiago and Bolu Oriowo, about the pitfalls of trying to create a virtual pop star.

Polygon: “The First Union” by Harry ‘Hbomberguy’ Brewis and Skutch, about the true story behind the Luddities.

Wow! That’s a lot of comics! Once you’re done with these, check out the Failure to Launch BackerKit page and consider pledging before the campaign ends on March 9th.

Read-Alike Friday: Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver

Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver

Set in the mountains of southern Appalachia, this is the story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer, with no assets beyond his dead father's good looks and copper-colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival. In a plot that never pauses for breath, relayed in his own unsparing voice, he braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses. Through all of it, he reckons with his own invisibility in a popular culture where even the superheroes have abandoned rural people in favor of cities.

Many generations ago, Charles Dickens wrote David Copperfield from his experience as a survivor of institutional poverty and its damages to children in his society. Those problems have yet to be solved in ours. Dickens is not a prerequisite for readers of this novel, but he provided its inspiration. In transposing a Victorian epic novel to the contemporary American South, Barbara Kingsolver enlists Dickens' anger and compassion, and above all, his faith in the transformative powers of a good story. Demon Copperhead speaks for a new generation of lost boys, and all those born into beautiful, cursed places they can't imagine leaving behind.

Now is Not the Time to Panic by Kevin Wilson

Sixteen-year-old Frankie Budge—aspiring writer, indifferent student, offbeat loner—is determined to make it through yet another sad summer in Coalfield, Tennessee, when she meets Zeke, a talented artist who has just moved into his grandmother’s unhappy house and who is as lonely and awkward as Frankie is. Romantic and creative sparks begin to fly, and when the two jointly make an unsigned poster, shot through with an enigmatic phrase, it becomes unforgettable to anyone who sees it. The edge is a shantytown filled with gold seekers. We are fugitives, and the law is skinny with hunger for us.

The posters begin appearing everywhere, and people wonder who is behind them. Satanists, kidnappers—the rumors won’t stop, and soon the mystery has dangerous repercussions that spread far beyond the town. The art that brought Frankie and Zeke together now threatens to tear them apart.

Twenty years later, Frances Eleanor Budge—famous author, mom to a wonderful daughter, wife to a loving husband—gets a call that threatens to upend everything: a journalist named Mazzy Brower is writing a story about the Coalfield Panic of 1996. Might Frances know something about that? And will what she knows destroy the life she’s so carefully built?

Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart

Shuggie's mother Agnes walks a wayward path: she is Shuggie's guiding light but a burden for him and his siblings. She dreams of a house with its own front door while she flicks through the pages of the Freemans catalogue, ordering a little happiness on credit, anything to brighten up her grey life. Married to a philandering taxi-driver husband, Agnes keeps her pride by looking good--her beehive, make-up, and pearly-white false teeth offer a glamourous image of a Glaswegian Elizabeth Taylor. But under the surface, Agnes finds increasing solace in drink, and she drains away the lion's share of each week's benefits--all the family has to live on--on cans of extra-strong lager hidden in handbags and poured into tea mugs.

Agnes's older children find their own ways to get a safe distance from their mother, abandoning Shuggie to care for her as she swings between alcoholic binges and sobriety. Shuggie is meanwhile struggling to somehow become the normal boy he desperately longs to be, but everyone has realized that he is "no right," a boy with a secret that all but him can see. Agnes is supportive of her son, but her addiction has the power to eclipse everyone close to her--even her beloved Shuggie.

Night of the Living Rez by Morgan Talty

In twelve striking, luminescent stories, author Morgan Talty—with searing humor, abiding compassion, and deep insight—breathes life into tales of family and community bonds as they struggle with a painful past and an uncertain future. A boy unearths a jar that holds an old curse, which sets into motion his family’s unraveling; a man, while trying to swindle some pot from a dealer, discovers a friend passed out in the woods, his hair frozen into the snow; a grandmother suffering from Alzheimer’s projects the past onto her grandson, and thinks he is her dead brother come back to life; and two friends, inspired by Antiques Roadshow, attempt to rob the tribal museum for valuable root clubs. 

In a collection that examines the consequences and merits of inheritance, Night of the Living Rez is an unforgettable portrayal of a Native community and marks the arrival of a standout talent in contemporary fiction.

The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt

Aged thirteen, Theo Decker, son of a devoted mother and a reckless, largely absent father, survives an accident that otherwise tears his life apart. Alone and rudderless in New York, he is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. He is tormented by an unbearable longing for his mother, and down the years clings to the thing that most reminds him of her: a small, strangely captivating painting that ultimately draws him into the criminal underworld. As he grows up, Theo learns to glide between the drawing rooms of the rich and the dusty antiques store where he works. He is alienated and in love - and his talisman, the painting, places him at the centre of a narrowing, ever more dangerous circle.

The Goldfinch is a haunted odyssey through present-day America and a drama of enthralling power. Combining unforgettably vivid characters and thrilling suspense, it is a beautiful, addictive triumph - a sweeping story of loss and obsession, of survival and self-invention, of the deepest mysteries of love, identity and fate.

Broadway Divas Tournament: Round 1A

(this poll breaks my heart)

Six-time Tony winner Audra McDonald (1970) holds the record for most Tony acting awards a person has ever won. She is one of five actors to be nominated across all four respective acting categories and the only person to win every one (and the only actress out of the three who is still living...). Her stage work includes: Ragtime (1998), Porgy and Bess (2012), and Lady Day at Emmerson's Bar and Grill (2014) among so much more on Broadway and far beyond. All this woman needs is an Oscar to EGOT, and what are we as a society doing to make that happen? Audra debuted on Broadway as a replacement in The Secret Garden, and yes, Rebecca Luker was still there.

Rebecca Luker (1961-2020) was known for her luminous work in The Secret Garden (1991) as the original Lily Craven, The Sound of Music (1998), and The Music Man (2000) where she was nominated for a Tony alongside an iconic lineup (Audra McDonald, Marin Mazzie, Toni Collette, and Heather Headley). She had an extensive regional theatre and concert career and had four solo recordings. In February 2020, she was diagnosed with ALS, and by October her beautiful voice was all but gone. Rebecca passed away in December of 2020. She was 59.

PROPAGANDA AND MEDIA UNDER CUT:

"Is any propaganda really needed? Is saying six-time Tony winner Audra McDonald not enough for you people? Just listen to this woman's voice and tell me your soul doesn't ascend to a higher plane of being. And just listen to her do Lady Day. Audra McDonald, what the fuck? How are you this talented? Audra McDonald is THE Broadway Diva and a true triple threat. She has ten Tony nominations to her name, and is right up there alongside the legends that were Julie Harris and Chita Rivera."

"True operatic sopranos are a dying breed in the most literal sense. Rebecca was a gift to this world, and I miss her dearly. Her Marian in The Music Man was everything, and I refuse to acknowledge that we live in a world where we had her revive Barbara Cook's role after over forty years, only to get a second revival barely two decades later with a fucking belter in a soprano role. Go listen to Rebecca Luker's "My White Knight" and cleanse yourself, and watch how she somehow finds the bootleg camera and sings right to it."
