Jack Frost At The MAC

Musical Lyrical Lingo ·

2025/12/01

We sit down with writer Ali Harding and choreographer Jennifer Rooney to unpack how a spark turned into an epic winter adventure with twelve original songs, a celestial court, and a snow globe that holds the heart of the season.

Send us a text Defying gravity is easy. Living with the aftermath is the hard part. We sat down after a packed Friday screening of Wicked For Good to trade notes on what soared, what sagged, and why the second act chooses substance over spectacle. From the first quiet frames to that cheeky final shot, the film wears its love for musical theatre on its sleeve—smart foreshadowing, respectful echoes of the stage, and a visual language that rewards a careful eye. We dig into the choices that mat...

From marmalade charm to circus edge, the theme is the same: how musicals seduce us with shimmer while nudging us toward something real. We start with the big headlines. Wicked’s TV special hints at the future of musical ma...

Send us a text What happens when holiday cheer meets hard theatre truths and a cult teen sci‑fi musical? We kick off with real updates fans care about: Evita’s Palladium recording hits digital, Kiss of the Spider Woman announces eye‑catching leads, and The Greatest Showman’s stage premiere locks in a cast that actually fits the material. There’s mixed news too—Hercules lands with a thud, raising the old question of theme‑park staging versus full-blooded musical storytelling—while Regent’s Par...

We trace how Stephen King’s telekinetic teen went from RSC curiosity to five-performance flop to a cult favourite rescued by fans, rewrites, and sheer stubborn love for the messy, the bold, and the almost-great.

On the Town

2025/10/06

Send us a text This week we unpack how Jerome Robbins, Leonard Bernstein, Betty Comden and Adolph Green expanded a 1944 ballet into a full-throttle Broadway musical that felt like champagne after years of rationing. George Abbott’s decision to cut overt war talk gave the story longevity; the subtext stayed, the escapism sang. We spotlight Hildy’s agency as a cab driver who pursues what she wants, the show’s brave integrated casting—including Sono Osato as Ivy—and the way songs like New York, ...
