Accidentally Profound: The Music of Love’s Labour’s Lost

What role does music play on the stage? Can music make theater more accessible? Can it change the roles of players? Find out the answers to these questions and more as we talk to Ella Howard and Lily Marsh who are both performing in OSP’s upcoming production of Love’s Labour’s Lost. We discuss the different music that director Erin Woods has brought into the production and listen all the way to the end for a jaw dropping performance from these amazing actors and musicians as they sing “Hi Lili Hi Lo” - I cannot get it out of my head and I don’t want to. You want to get to know these actors because they haven’t even graduated from college yet and they are already astound. Keep an eye on them; I have a feeling we will see them on many more stages in the decades to follow.  Please come see Love’s Labour’s Lost at OSP; it’s running August 7th through August 17th. It’s an amazing show with a fabulous soundtrack. See Shakespeare mix it up with the musical works of Alanis Morisette, The Doors, and more.  The arts are under attack, and buying tickets is a great way to show your support and fight back. PLEASE SUBSCRIBE! ⁠www.theshakespeareanshrew.com⁠ https://www.youtube.com/@ShakespeareanShrew Please follow us on Instagram: @theshakespeareanshrewTikTok: @theshakespeareanshrewThe new season of shows for OSP is available ⁠here!⁠ Tickets for Love’s Labour’s Lost opening August 7th: Love's Labour's Lost TicketsPlease donate to OSP: ⁠https://www.okshakes.org/donate⁠ Thank you for listening!Host/Shakespearean Shrew: Karen FeinerCo-Creator/Brew Shrew: Michelle CoffmanCover Art Creator/Artistic Shrew: Katie Kimberling ⁠⁠⁠www.halfmaverick.com⁠⁠⁠Thank you to our guests: Ella Howard and Lily Marsh Ella Howard (she/her/hers) is a rising third year acting student at the University of Oklahoma in the Helmerich School of Drama.
