He met Lorenz Hart in 1918 who was to write lyrics for Richard for the next 25 years. The produced many successful songs and musicals such as ‘Pal Joey’ and 'The Boys From Syracuse’. In 1943 Richard teamed up with Oscar Hammerstein to make a musical version of the play 'How Green Was Your Valley’ which became 'Oklahoma’ Richard also provided the music for 'Carousel’, 'South Pacific’.

Besides building the dock in the pit for Mamma Mia we had a chance to build the “towers” on both USL and USR. 14’ Hollywood flats plastered to look like the outside of homes in Greece.
This is completely factually accurate I assure you…
The Crows Favourite Musicals:
I don’t know why I’m doing this but it absolutely makes sense.
Nina: Something like Chicago or Heathers. Shows that make you feel like a bad b*tch who’s ready to murder.
Matthias: His favourite show is definitely Frozen but he would never admit it.
Inej: Okay so Inej would go for a really fun show on the surface that has really sinister undertones. Like Into the Woods! Also she sings the Sound of Music as she’s Wraithing because it reminds her of her parents.
Kaz: I don’t think Kaz is a musicals fan but I bet he’d secretly quite like Sweeney Todd. He’s also a secret romantic who likes death so West Side Story would be his fav.
Wylan: 100% Wylans favourite hobby is belting and crying to sad musical songs, no one can tell me otherwise. Les Mis and Waitress and Miss Saigon. And I bet he sounds good as well.
Jesper: He gives me major Beetlejuice vibes. Even his fashion sense is represented in this show. ‘The whole being dead thing’ is probably his favourite. And Avenue Q is another one he loves.
I think it’s funny that it’s gone from theatre roles being played by exclusively men and ladies being forbidden from being in productions to having half the male roles in shows being filled by ladies because so few men do theatre anymore.
figured I might as well do a photo dump of the broadway fanarts I have lying around. Also for my top 10 video there were way more Heathers fan arts than I realized so here’s a few that were going to be featured ♀️
Day 8, with much more Wicked fan art where that came from
It’s October so about the ghost of a dead Heather for day 7?
So I know it’s been a month or something but uhhhhhh………day 6??
Curiously, the musical Chicago(which debuted as a stage production in 1975 and later adapted into a film in 2002), was actually based on a real murder trial in the titular city… Albeit the show is filtered somewhat through several other fictionalised accounts of the case, such as a 1926 play of the same name which was itself made into a silent comedy-drama in 1927.
In 1924, 24 year old bookkeeper Beulah Annan shot then man whom she had been having an affair with, Harry Kalstedt, in the back. Her accounts of what happened after this varied from telling to telling, but the most famous version is that they were drinking wine in her bedroom, as you do, but they got into a violent argument. Belulah said they both reached for the gun, and as she got to it first, she then shot him as he was putting his hat and coat on.
She then reportedly watched him die slowly on her floor for the next several hours as she played the Hula Lou foxtrot record as she drank martinis. Once he was dead, she called her husband, Albert “Al” Annan, to tell him that she had killed a man who had tried to “make love to her“.
The resulting murder trial was… a mess. The fact that the murderer was an attractive young woman and the “seedy details” of her affair and the crime itself were quickly seized by the tabloid press of the time, thrusting Beulah into the limelight as a kind of celebrity.
Her husband Albert believed her tales that it was self-defence, even though her account of what happened and why changed multiple times over the course of the trial. But his hiring her the best lawyers he could afford with their savings worked, with Beluah managing to get off with an acquittal… Whereupon she promptly dumped him, telling the press immediately after she was confirmed to be a free woman: “I have left my husband, he is too slow“.
Following the trial, Beluah costed on her infamy for a time, getting married twice more (once to a boxer, which ended in divorce due to his being abusive). Eventually, four years after the trial Beluah passed away from TB at Chicago Fresh Air Sanatorium, where she was staying under the name Beulah Stephens. It was 1928, and he was 28 years old.
So yeah, kind of bizarre that this case has had multiple interpretations in multiple genres over the years, I wonder what it is about this case in particular that seemed to catch the attention of the audience to the degree that the interpretations of Beluah’s crime were all very successful in their ways.

I will never not be angry over an unremarkable, generic, underwhelming pop soundtrack winning best score over an electro-pop opera with minimal spoken dialogue that tells an entire story and blends traditional Russian, techno, and classical music.
