April 27th #DynamicDs Dazzle I have never seen this TV series. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
pickI saw this show last February, and feverishly pre-ordered this script as soon as it became available. It showed up this afternoon and I tore through it in record time, laughing the whole way through. I know that there are some seriously timely and important plays expected to be nominated for Tonys this year, but I just can't help hoping that Escola's funny, filthy, improbably heartfelt, utterly stupid and capital R Ridiculous show sweeps them all.
pickWhat a wonderful book. It does this book a disservice to call it a comedy or a tragedy or any one thing. It is a layered story with interesting and lovable characters. It has a perspective and, yes, it made me laugh. I cannot recommend this book enough.

I love Ibsen, maybe time for a reread !

The soundtrack of the tagged play was released in 1970 and my dad bought the album. I was 11. Somewhere in the mid 60‘s my mother became a Seventh Day Adventist and our household drastically changed. Listening to this album constantly was an act of rebellion. She HATED it. This clip popped up on IG yesterday so I thought why not share here. I still know all the words.

So many of these movies are on my To-Watch list, but I did better than I expected.
There are the three I've seen that shook my core. Not necessarily the best or my favorite, but the most memorable:
The Father - A mind-blowing, soul-crushing portrayal of dementia
The Tree of Life - More than a few walked out of the screening I was in. I don't know if I liked it, but it was art
The Substance - Not for the squeamish, but brilliant

This is not book-related (although his musical Falsettos won Best Book at the 1992 Tonys!) but I had to take a moment to mourn William Finn, one of the greatest musical theatre composers to ever do it. If you're a theatre kid, join me in listening to Falsettos, A New Brain, Spelling Bee, and Elegies on repeat today. If you're not a theatre kid, can I interest you in discovering some damn good music and poignant stories? #SeeMoreTheatre

TBH, I forgot I had this #Music (or rather musical) title sitting in my Kindle TBR but it looks interesting. 🎶🎵🎼
