Performer-singer-mentor and Helen Hayes Award-winning writer Lady Dane Figueroa Edidi is here for a Tony-winning revue of 30s music staged in the 80s but that lives forever.
Topics Include: songs about weed, Billy Porter, Nell Carter, the black experience through white eyes, art that shouldn’t survive, and the good reasons why Lady Dane does not like Hamilton.
Featured Recordings: Ain't Misbehavin' - Original Broadway Cast Recording (1978) • “Lush Life” - Ella Fitzgerald & Duke Ellington (1965)

DO YOU LIKE MOVIE MUSICALS? Join us on PATREON to get our patrons-only podcast The Original Cast at the Movies! This month is the Don Bluth classic Anastasia (1997) with Casey Erin Clark (Little Women) and Courtney Laine Self (Crazy for You). A movie that is really two movies: the first is a historical fiction romance and the second is a horror-comedy about a dead guy and his talking bat.
