Musicals Taught Me Everything I Know

This week we chat with Naomi Mole about what lessons can be learned from the political commentary musical - Call Me Madam!

"But for every joke that falls flat, there's a terrific song, including the charming "It's a Lovely Day Today," the beautiful ballad "Marrying for Love," the toe-tapping "The Hostess with the Mostes' On the Ball," and the show's unqualified masterpiece of counterpoint, "You're Just in Love," the last guaranteed to send you out of the theater on a high. The numbers are beautifully sung and gorgeously rendered by the large orchestra using Don Walker's original orchestrations. There are even two musicians performing on ocarinas, which in the show's conceit is the national instrument of Lichtenburg."
