Showmance is about a down-on-his-luck Broadway playwright who is marooned in rural Illinois in this sharply funny queer rom-com. Chad knows a lot about the Broadway industry since he is a six-time Tony Award nominee, and his Broadway works include The Prom, Disney's Aladdin, Elf and The Wedding Singer. He also co-wrote the screenplay for The Prom, currently available on Netflix. Because I can't help myself, I asked Chad about his relationship to Wicked, and he reveals how Stephen Schwartz, the composer, has been such a wonderful mentor to him. He shares how Schwartz provided valuable feedback and guidance during the development of The Wedding Singer and expresses admiration for Wicked's important messages about acceptance. I ask Chad what he thinks about The Wedding Singer's recent resurgence in popularity with younger audiences and ask him what he thinks about it being revived? And because Laura Benanti's recent interview on That's a Gay Ass Podcast has made headlines (mostly because of her critique of Zachary Levi), I ask Chad what he thinks about Laura apologizing to him and Matthew Sklar (his writing partner) about negative comments she's made about her experience in the musical? Then, Chad discusses the process of writing his first novel, Showmance, and the differences between the structured, collaborative nature of musical theater and the more solitary, open-ended approach of novel writing. And finally, Chad shares details about his upcoming musical projects, including a new farce called Horrible People and an adaptation of the novel Something Fabulous, which he describes as a "gay Bridgerton." Throughout the interview, Chad's creative commitment to creating more queer-centric stories and characters shines through!

Episode 49 - The Wedding Singer (1998) - Full Review Movie PodcastIs the 80s the greatest decade of all time? We might be about to find out. Join the Born to Watch crew as we revisit the iconic romantic comedy "The Wedding Singer" and discover why it's still one of the most beloved movies of all time."The Wedding Singer" is a delightful romantic comedy that is both a love letter to the 1980s and a timeless story of two people finding each other. With its charming cast, catchy soundtrack, and witty humour, it's no wonder this film has become a pop culture icon.The movie stars Adam Sandler as Robbie Hart, a talented wedding singer who is jilted at the altar and falls into a deep depression. Drew Barrymore plays Julia Sullivan, a sweet-natured waitress who is engaged to a wealthy and self-absorbed businessman. When Robbie and Julia meet, sparks fly, but their timing seems to be perpetually off. The movie takes us on a journey as they navigate their feelings for each other while dealing with the complications of their personal lives.Sandler and Barrymore have excellent chemistry, and their comedic timing is impeccable. Their characters are endearing and relatable, and it's impossible not to root for them to get together. Sandler brings his signature wit and humour to the role of Robbie, and his musical performances are a highlight of the film. Barrymore, meanwhile, is charming and likable as Julia, and she and Sandler play off each other perfectly.The supporting cast is also excellent, with standout performances from Christine Taylor as Julia's snooty cousin Holly, Allen Covert as Robbie's best friend Sammy, and Jon Lovitz as the sleazy wedding singer who competes with Robbie for gigs. The film is filled with memorable and hilarious moments, from the group sing-alongs to the impromptu performance of "Love Stinks" after Robbie is stood up at the altar.One of the most significant aspects of "The Wedding Singer" is its celebration of 1980s culture. The film is set in 1985 and is packed with references to the music, fashion, and pop culture of the era. The soundtrack features iconic songs from the time, including "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" by Dead or Alive and "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" by The Police. The costumes are appropriately outrageous, with Robbie sporting a mullet and Julia wearing shoulder pads and neon leggings.However, the film doesn't just rely on nostalgia for its appeal. It also has a timeless quality that makes it resonate with audiences today. At its core, "The Wedding Singer" is a story about love and finding your soulmate. It's a film that celebrates the power of music to bring people together, and the importance of following your heart, even when it's not the easiest thing to do.Beyond its entertainment value, "The Wedding Singer" has had a significant impact on pop culture. The film helped solidify Adam Sandler's place as a comedy superstar and launched Drew Barrymore's career comeback. It also paved the way for a wave of romantic comedies that followed in its footsteps, including "Notting Hill" and "Love Actually."The film's popularity has also spawned a successful stage musical adaptation, which premiered on Broadway in 2006. The musical features a score by Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin and has been performed in theatres around the world.In addition to its cultural impact, "The Wedding Singer" is also a significant film for Adam Sandler fans. It's widely regarded as one of his best movies, and many fans consider it a classic of the romantic comedy genre. It's a film that showcases Sandler's unique blend of humour and heart, and it's a testament to his talents as both a comedian and an actor.In conclusion, "The Wedding Singer" is a must-watch movie for anyone who loves romantic comedies, 1980s nostalgia, or just a good laugh. It's a film that has stood the test of time and continues to be beloved by audiences today.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcast If you are looking to start a podcast and want a host or get guests to pipe in remotely, look no further than Riverside.fmClick the link below https://riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=matthew

Prom was a 2020 musical film adaptation of the eponymous 2018 Broadway musical. It was directed by Ryan Murphy, and adapted to screen by the play's original authors; Chad Beguelin, Bob Martin, and Matthew Sklar. Partially inspired by real world events, The Prom follows the story of four past-their-prime theatrical performers, who in a fit of desperation for publicity travel to Indiana to inject themselves into a small town's drama over a lesbian student's exclusion from her high school prom. The film received a limited theatrical release at the tail-end of 2020, and eventually landed on Netflix, receiving largely tepid-to-negative reviews.On this episode of Hell Is A Musical, Lilz and Scott are joined by playwright Ashley Rogers, also of the Is It Transphobic? podcast.

This week we chat with ourselves about which of life's truths can be gleaned from the new smash musical - The Prom!Adam Feldman of Time Out Magazine gave the show 4 out of 5 stars, saying "It is cheering to see a musical comedy that engages with modern questions, with a teenage lesbian romance at its center to boot... But while the issues are contemporary, there is a 1980s feel to the character types and the overall style of Chad Beguelin and Matthew Sklar’s score, which resembles their work in The Wedding Singer; a stronger dose of reality in the lyrics and the book (by Beguelin and Bob Martin) would better justify the show’s eventual turn to sentimental education. But Casey Nicholaw’s peppy direction helps give the show enough momentum to power past its narrative potholes and occasional bumps of heavy-handedness."- FURTHER READING -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prom_(musical)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Sklarhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chad_Beguelinhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Martin_(comedian)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prom_(film)https://theprommusical.com/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10161886/https://music.apple.com/us/album/the-prom-a-new-musical-original-broadway-cast-recording/1439644985https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2B2t1FljSrujv5XywkxFR4Like us on Facebook!

Caitlin Kinnunen, the lead actress in the current hit musical “The Prom” on Broadway talks with Emmy Winner Charlotte Robinson host of OUTTAKE VOICES™. “The Prom” is about Emma (Kinnunen) a small-town girl who just wants to bring her girlfriend to the prom. When she makes national headlines news because the PTA cancels the event rather than allow this to happen four Broadway stars whose theatrical production closed on opening night decide that this could be the break they need to get a little publicity for themselves so they decide to go to the small town in Indiana to save the day. “The Prom” was written by Chad Beguelin and Bob Martin with a score by Beguelin and Matthew Sklar and features Tony winner Beth Leavel, Brooks Ashmanskas, Christopher Sieber and Angie Schworer. You may remember that Caitlin made LGBTQ history last November when she performed a scene from “The Prom” at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and she kissed her co-star during the live performance. As a fierce ally we asked Caitlin about how she got involved in this groundbreaking role and her spin on our LGBTQ issues. When asked what she hopes to accomplish with her work Kinnunen stated, “I feel very lucky and fortunate that I’ve been part of pieces that really have a voice. I’ve gotten to do shows like “Spring Awakening” and “Next To Normal” and now this show “The Prom” and I’m really happy with that and I love being able to do theatre pieces that say something. I love being able to use my voice to open up conversations and really talk to people about their experiences. So I hope to continue to do work like that whether it is films, TV, plays, musicals, what have you. I think acting is such a great vehicle and conversation starter that people can see things that they normally wouldn’t see and can put up discussions that you normally wouldn’t have. I just hope to continue to do that.” Caitlin Kinnunen was born and raised in Washington State. She moved to New York when she was 16 to make her Broadway debut in “Spring Awakening”. She later appeared on Broadway in “The Bridges of Madison County” and on the first national tour of “Next to Normal”. Kinnunen has also appeared in numerous film and television projects including “The Intern”, “It's Kind of a Funny Story”, “Sweet Little Lies”, “Younger”, “American Vandal”, “The Knic” and Law & Order: SVU.
