Lempicka & Illinoise
from Bottomless Broadway Hosted by Bottomless Broadway
This is coming out a little later than expected, but we're back with another double header, talking about Lempicka and Illinoise. So take a listen to see whether Lempicka really is "Perfection" and come on and feel the Illinoise! Note: Illinoise deals with the topic of suicide, which is talked about in this podcast. -- The "looking for a man in finance" audio that Cindy mentions has spawned many parodies, including this one from the Broadway production of The Great Gatsby. If you haven't seen Schmigadoon and you're listening to this podcast...well here's your sign to do so! (And for whatever it's worth, Christine thinks that season 2 is even better than season 1.) Check out the digital program for Illinoise, including Henry's journal If you're unfamiliar with Sufjan Stevens's music, we hear that Carrie & Lowell and the Call Me By Your Name soundtrack come highly recommended And if you want to know more about Jackie Sibblies Drury's work, definitely check out her play Fairview The New York Times critics were divided on the off-Broadway run of Illinoise, with the chief theater critic giving it a rave and the dance critic giving it a pan. -- Music featured in this episode: From Lempicka (cast album out next week!)
