What I've been listening to recently

Just to collect up stray thoughts every so often

- Sweet Smell of Success. The music is really fun, but I read the libretto too and it just... lacks narrative tension. Which is very weird for a noir adaptation. Anyway I picked this up because one of my favorite podcasts is Movie: the Musical (now defunct, rip) and they did an episode on it.

- See What I Wanna See. I incidentally picked this up at the same time and it also has some noir flair. LaChiusa's music is so satisfying to me.

- The Fantasticks. Because I really like the piano in it, and I love the overture, and I aspire to get a keyboard piano soon so I'm making a little list of pieces I'd like to learn.

- I Can Get it for You Wholesale. Already posted about it at length, very weird selection for a revival but I appreciate not just cycling through the same dozen shows to get revived.

- Bernarda Alba. More LaChiusa, really good. All his albums I know so far have this quality of sounding very... put-together, like the shows aren't sung through but may as well be. I read the play along with it and it's very good.

- title of show. Good lord my tastes have changed. I wrote recently that I don't like the musical sound or lyrics of contemporary theatre, and this is... exactly that. I do still like a few songs.

- House of Flowers. I tried this a few years ago and it didn't stick; I thought I'd try again now to see if my tastes have evolved. But the music is just sort of generic; sorry Harold Arlen. Anyway I've accidentally thought of it as House of Leaves a couple times, if someone wants to musicalize that instead.

- Dear World. No idea what's happening but I'm having fun! This show was first pitched to me as "Jerry Herman's version of Anyone Can Whistle," which I'm extremely here for.

- Seesaw. I love Cy Coleman, and Dorothy Fields and Neil Simon are also both here, so it's like getting a little more of Sweet Charity. Also reminds me of Promises Promises because of the brass orchestrations. Hilariously the album is just songs angling to become standards, I don't think I'd recognize it as being a musical at all if I didn't already know.

it's about the small acts of intimacy... forehead kisses, putting jewelry on you, rubbing your hand with their thumb, putting a jacket on you, touching your necklace, running your hands through their hair, wiping away their tears, peeling them an orange, un/zipping their dress, tying their shoelaces, holding hands, removing an eyelash from their cheek, washing their hair, putting an anklet on them, tucking their hair behind their ear, sorting out their collar, untangling their necklaces, drinking out of a cup in their hands
