Plus we chat Moulin Rouge! the Musical!, Harold Zidler, Bert's interpretation of Toulouse Lautrec, Topdog/Underdog, Moulin Roast!, and we find out which normal, everyday thing do our superstar guests fail miserably at in one of our funniest moments yet- plus HEAPS more!

Question about Moulin Rouge costumes. I’ve heard that Satines blue Elephant Love Medley dress changed. Not sure when it would have. I saw 3 times on tour in 2022 and 2 times last year in NYC. Once each from front row, but I don’t remember any differences. Have you heard this? I assume they’re more small minor changes vs. drastic ones.

There was indeed a change but I think the timing of it prevented you from seing the old dress. And the change was major. But we have photos of both (below)

If we get really technical the dress has been changed twice. One for the broadway opening and one after reopening. The relevant one here is the second one but I mention both because there is at least one photo lying around of the boston tryout one.

The original broadway dress (left) was worn only by principal KO, alternate Ashley Loren (who kept it until the end of her principal run) and understudy Amber Ardolino. Everyone else since has worn the new dress (right). The tour always had the new dress and last time it was worn on broadway was early april last year. So if you saw the show on broadway after that you would have seen only the new dress.

Also you might see mentions of the new dress being designed exclusively for the australian production. Thats inaccurate. A lot of things were redesigned or altered for the australian production and later used for all others. I have no clue why they insisted this dress specifically was an australia only thing but its the normal one.

Ep67 Rock Around the Rocket Clock w/ Simon Burke! (AUS)

There's a bear in there, and a guest as well! Because we're joined by Play School's legendary long-running host, Simon Burke- who can now be seen in Australia's production of Moulin Rouge the Musical! And just because we can-can-can, we send this iconic Aussie off Surfing with the Alien, with their album 'Joe Satriani', whilst Simon returns serve with a spot of Tennis with the well-to-do as he searches for A Little Night Music. Plus we chat Play School, Playing Judi Dench's toy-boy, which Nursery Rhyme will make a great Metal track, Moulin Rouge, the Aussie industry, plus WE MAKE ROCKETSHIPS! YAAAYYY!!! www.twitter.com/simonburke -- www.instagram.com/simon__burke https://moulinrougemusical.com/australia/cast/

Watching THE GREAT GATSBY

Like most Baz Luhrmann movies, the soundtrack has more of an impact on you than the narrative, but Leonardo DiCaprio is wonderful as Gatsby, having way more of a handle on the character than Robert Redford ever did.

Since it's Baz, the film looks good even if everything else about the movie leaves you wanting. Overwrought when subtle or even neutral would have served the story better. But it's Baz, so he'll rape your eyes with color bukkake just because he can.

I sort of buy Leo as a 32-year old.

I do not buy Tobey Maguire as someone just turning 30.

Carey Mulligan is perfectly cast as Daisy. Some of her best work.

Ranking Baz Luhrmann Films 1-6
