    I'm 57, and participated (sang/danced) in this musical in the mid 80's in high school.
    It was somewhat controversial then for teens to sing/dance to this musical:)
    I respect our Musical Director so much for having the temerity to put this out.
    I still sing the songs today, and the lyrics to so many songs, are so relevant to the issues of today:)

    Don't underestimate the the way the actors in the background freeze and become part of the background. It's a subtle add, but it's a really cool theatrical device to make us look at the two main singers, but used on film :)

    • @karlakor
      @karlakor 3 роки тому +3

      I had not noticed the lack of movement among the background actors until you brought it to my attention. I did notice, however, the same thing in Easter Parade while Judy Garland and Fred Astaire were singing All Aboard for Alabam' and dancing together. No one in the background moved a muscle. It must be a difficult thing to do in a movie, but to do it night after night in a live Broadway show must be exhausting.

      Matter of opinion. If you want consistency and stability, being a company man would be the dream, but if you have bigger ambitions, 25 years in the same job sounds like a nightmare.

    My two nephews just did this play at their high school and these were the parts they had so they got to do this duet together. It was pretty great. As for the play itself, I enjoyed it but I was actually a little surprised a high school in 2022 would do it. Both because it was pretty racy at times and also very politically incorrect by today's standards. Kudos to the head of their drama department for having the stones. LOL! 😂

    And babies come out of the womb in coats and ties

    The place where the happiest smile is Cheney's frown
    I'll bet you a buck you won't find a damn thing wrong
    'Cause when you come down to it
    This is where we all belong
    Lois:
    Who else lives here?

    We're watching Republican stars...
    Rush Limbaugh:
    Like sweet Mickey Rourke, and his gorgeous right-wing scars

    Chuck Norris is one...

    And he's got a right-wing beard
    Brian:
    Jon Voight is another...

    But how 'bout global warming?
    Brian:
    It's a snow job
    By Obama and his crew
    Lois:
    But aren't all his findings
    Backed by science?
    Rush Limbaugh:
    Careful, Lois
    Now you're sounding like a Jew!
    Brian:
    Oy!
    We dream of Republican Town
    Where Clinton is viewed as a crazy Commie clown
    Rush Limbaugh:
    A place where America's growing free and strong
    Brian:
    'Cause when you come down to it
    This is where...
