MOVIE DISCUSSION: Melanie & Melvin talk at length about Akira Kurosawa's worldwide phenomena, Rashomon. From it's forward-feeling filmmaking and pacing to it's gripping drama, Rashomon continues to be in conversation for it's layered entertainment and deep contemplation. And, of course, they also talk about the immensely disruptive nature of lying.Topics:(PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 32-minutes discussing Vulture's "The Decomposition of Rotten Tomatoes" article from September 6th about how an advertising firm paid reviewers for positive reviews... or, how it's a bit more complicated than that, but still a bad look for Rotten Tomatoes (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)Melanie & Melvin recommend Rashomon, full stop, but also recognize it has several details that make it a deceptively hard watch. For Melvin, he's sure the dark complexities could be a turn-off. For Melanie, some fans might be put to sleep.The first time Melvin watched Rashomon he felt, "That was a good movie.". The second time he watched Rashomon he went, "Oh, wow. This movie is great!".Although Rashomon is very much about the complications of conflicting storytelling, it also showcases the way in which people communicate inherently through biases.Rashomon is about a lot of things, one of which is the everyone's internal battle against cynicism and sensationalism.Contemplating the reality that God permits evil during this age and the hope in Christ to endure.Why do we as humans choose to commit evil amidst so much glorious beauty?Rashomon's ridiculous level of digestibility lends it to be a very good "watch with friends" movie. Both Melanie and Melvin wonder what sort of amazing and profound reactions their various friends would have.Recommendations:Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2023 Broadway Cast Recording) (2023) (Soundtrack)Feeders 2: Slay Bells (1998) (Movie) Support the showSupport on Patreon for Unique Perks!

We descend into the depths of the Paris Opera for the 1986 musical phenomenon The Phantom of the Opera – one of the most successful & beloved musicals of all time, which centers around a troubling story about abuse, lust, and the power of music. We talk about: – Is the Phantom (or "Erik" as he's known in the original novel) a serpent or a savior? – What is the relationship between Christine and the Phantom? An abusive mentor relationship, a forbidden love, an artistic partnership or a classic Gothic obsession? – How did power and patriarchy operate in the Victorian world of the Paris Opera – and in the 1980s world of rock musicals?   You'll hear: – Michael Crawford, Sarah Brightman and the cast of the 1988 Broadway Cast Recording.   Continue the conversation with Peter (@pgeinvan) and Nathan (@nathan_lerud) on Twitter, and follow the Gospel of Musical Theatre on Instagram or Twitter @gospelofmt.

Peterskins & Grumblethaniel (Peter & Nathan) ascend to the Heaviside Layer for a close theological reading of one of the strangest, silliest, and most sensational mega-musicals ever to tread the boards: the much-beloved and much-reviled 1981 spectacle that is CATS. We talk about: – The naming of cats and humans – the names that culture and society give us, and the ineffable name that is known only to God. – Whether the feline characters are stand-ins for the seven deadly sins, and whether or not there is a morality tale at work (...or if maybe this is just a show about cats) – The power of memory and finding meaning in moments of happiness (and the deeply theological question: “does the right cat die?”)   You'll hear Betty Buckley, Ken Page, Terrance Mann, and the cast of the 1983 Broadway Cast Recording.   Continue the conversation with Peter (@pgeinvan) and Nathan (@nathan_lerud) on Twitter, and follow the Gospel of Musical Theatre on Instagram or Twitter @gospelofmt.

Today, we begin our long awaited exploration of the musicals of the great Stephen Sondheim (1930-2021) who died recently at the age of 91. We're starting with one of Sondheim's early collaborations: the 1957 classic West Side Story, which saw Sondheim working as lyricist alongside composer Leonard Bernstein. We talk about: - The death of Sondheim and his emerging status as a guru/wisdom teacher in the “church” of musical theatre – a reputation famously sent-up by the song “God” - The origins of West Side Story (1957) in the racial & religious tensions between Jewish & Catholic immigrants in New York City's East Side at the turn of the 20th century, and how race in America had shifted by the 50s - "Something's Coming," "The Jet Song," and the two dueling religious systems in West Side Story: group belonging vs. love, and the desire for a conversion experience - The show's classic love songs—"Tonight," "Maria," and "Somewhere"—with their theological ideas about the full embodiment of sexual desire, and the power (and lure) of forbidden love - West Side Story's social agenda, explored in "Gee, Officer Krupke" and "America," and the tension between whether we hold society or individuals responsible for violence - Whether the show ends in tragedy or hope – the challenge of redemptive violence and the promise of Maria as the priest of her community You'll hear: - The company of the 2010 revue Sondheim on Sondheim (including the great Barbara Cook, Vanessa L. Williams, Leslie Kritzer, Erin Mackey, Tom Wopat, Norm Lewis, Euan Morton, and Matthew Scott), singing the song “God” - Isaac Cole Powell singing "Something's Coming" (available to watch here) - Larry Kert & Carol Lawrence singing "Tonight," "Somewhere" and "I Feel Pretty" from the original 1957 Broadway Cast Recording. - Max Goberman, Eddie Roll, Grover Dale and the company of the original Broadway cast singing "Gee, Officer Krupke" - Carol Lawrence, Carmen Gutierrez, Marilyn Cooper and Elizabeth Taylor singing "I Feel Pretty" from the Original Broadway Cast recording.   Continue the conversation with Peter (@pgeinvan) and Nathan (@nathan_lerud) on Twitter, and follow the Gospel of Musical Theatre on Instagram or Twitter @gospelofmt.

It's a two-fer this week... We're jumping into Lerner & Loewe's most problematic and legendary (wait for it...) shows - the 1958 film Gigi and the 1960 Broadway musical Camelot!   We talk about: - Gigi's origin in the short stories of the French writer Colette (1873-1953) and the film's lurking pedophilia - The nature of women's roles (in 19th-century Paris, 1950s America, and today), and the development of cultural norms around gender, marriage and sexuality. - The “marriage fantasy” and the degree to which Christianity has upheld and supported it – and how both Gigi and Camelot both support and question conventions around heterosexual marriage - The relationship between Camelot's Arthur, Guinevere and Lancelot as an echo of Higgins, Eliza and Pickering's relationship in My Fair Lady. - How Camelot relates to the Kennedy presidency and 1960s America - The show's central theological questions: can there be power that is wielded for good - and is the realization of the Beloved Community possible in this life?   You'll hear: - Maurice Chevalier singing “Thank Heaven For Little Girls” from the 1958 Gigi film soundtrack. - Richard Burton singing the title song and Julie Andrews &Richard Burton singing "What Do the Simple Folk Do?" from the 1960 Broadway Cast Recording of Camelot - Our Beloved Julie Andrews singing “The Lusty Month of May” from the 1960 Camelot Broadway Cast Recording   Continue the conversation with Peter (@pgeinvan) and Nathan (@nathan_lerud) on Twitter, and follow the Gospel of Musical Theatre on Instagram or Twitter @gospelofmt.

I come from the world of new plays and Shakespeare, but my musical knowledge is...lacking. Prior to joining a Broadway marketing team, I attended MAYBE a musical a year? Now, I LOVE musicals, they just were never in my theatrical world...but the longer I worked in the commercial theater industry, the more I realized I was out of my musical depth.So, I decided to enlist my friends Brenden Rogers and Brian Dumbreski to teach me the ways of all the musicals that didn't make it through my pre-2014, One-Musical-A-Year filter, and thus this special bonus episode of "Brenden and Brian explaining The Little Shop of Horrors to Me" was born.For a full transcript of today's episode visit beyondthelightspodcast.com.Special thanks to Brandon Wei for this episode's artwork!Mentioned in this Episode[00:01:47] Off-Broadway Cast Recording [00:01:49] Broadway Cast Recording [00:01:51] 1986 Film - Director's Cut[00:03:24] Maries Crisis [00:03:32] Off-Broadway Production [00:04:40] Ellen Greene [00:20:31] Desperate Housewives Episode List [00:21:10] Audrey II Puppets [00:25:21] Howard Ashman Documentary [00:33:43] Lee Wilkof and Ellen Greene – Suddenly Seymour [00:41:46] Howard Ashman Papers [00:49:03] Ellen Greene on the Standard Drama Awards Additional Recommendations from BrianLittle Shop of Horrors CartoonBroadway Cast performs at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day ParadeFollow Beyond the LightsFacebookTwitterInstagramDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links which I may earn a small commission from if you make a purchase.

On November 22, 1963, John F. Kennedy, President of the United States, was assassinated in broad daylight in front of hundreds of people--at least 55 of whom were filming or taking pictures. And yet we still don't know what happened. Lee Harvey Oswald was the prime suspect. But then he too was killed in the middle of the day in front of almost 100 people.  Was it a lone gunman? The CIA? Fidel Castro? And will we every know the truth? We have some thoughts..... This week's Palate Cleanser is from the 2004 Broadway Cast Recording of "Assassins" and features Neil Patrick Harris and Dennis O'Hare.

Month Upon a Time, Episode #12 (May): It's the final installment of my yearlong song cycle! I did it! And I have the perfect guest with whom to complete the cycle, someone who knows a thing or two about song cycles himself: Michael Winther! I've known Michael since the early 90's, when we were Plaids at the same time (but never in the same production). Since then, Michael has had quite a distinguished theatre career, bouncing between musicals and plays, including the Broadway productions of Artist Descending a Staircase, Damn Yankees (with me!), 1776, The Crucible, Mamma Mia (with last month's guest Dee Hoty!), and most recently, 33 Variations.But the reason I think of Michael when I think of song cycles is that he was at the center of a very distinguished one, Songs from an Unmade Bed, which began as an offhanded idea from the very talented lyricist/librettist Mark Campbell and blossomed into a theatre piece that became part of The New York Theatre Workshop's 2005 season, earning Michael a Drama Desk nomination for Outstanding Solo Performance!His interesting collaborations continue, most notably My Coma Dreams with Fred Hersch, the brilliant jazz pianist and composer, and When We Met with another previous podcast guest, Sally Wilfert!The inspiration for this month's song comes from Brett Lowell, who gave me so many great ideas this month that I had to narrow it down. I particualrly liked his idea of incorporating "Mayday!," the distress signal, into a song about how in May, thoughts turn to love, etc. Add to that my own fascination to learn that "Mayday!" springs from the French, "[Venez] m'aider!" and the next thing I knew, there was a samba! (Special thanks to Caroline Bergonzi, David Turner, and Marcy Scott for their help with the French translation.) What a fun way to end the project!In closing, I'd like to express my gratitude once again to Bradley Kaye for the adorable Month Upon a Time logo, to all the wonderful singers who lent their time and talent to my songs, and to all of you who offered up ideas for songs each month. Don't forget, if you want to perform any of these songs, they're available as sheet music in my online music store.Until the next episode...This episode was recorded on May 28. 2012.
