In this weekend's special edition of Viral Mindfulness, Alexander Blue Feather invites you to step behind the velvet curtain into the sacred glow of Broadway. As CNN broadcasts George Clooney's "Good Night, and Good Luck" live from the Winter Garden Theatre and the 2025 Tony Awards light up the stage, Alexander reflects on the electric drama—both on and off stage. From Audra McDonald and Nicole Scherzinger's showdown to Megan Hilty's triumphant return, this episode is a love letter to the theater. A temple of truth and belonging. You'll hear personal stories from Alexander's first Broadway pilgrimage in 1998, complete with tap shoes, playbills, and spiritual awakening in the balcony's glow. It's a celebration of queer joy, memory, grief, and resurrection, told with sparkle and soul.

Volvemos con otro musical basado en una película de Billy Wilder: ”Some like it hot”, estrenada en España como “Con faldas y a lo loco”. Una obra maestro del cine que se ha adaptado a musical en dos ocasiones, en el año 1972 con el título de “Sugar” con música de Jule Styne y otra en 2022, que es la que vamos a tratar en este podcast, con música de Marc Shaiman y un nuevo libreto que estoy seguro que Billy Wilder, autor del guion para la película, hubiese aplaudido de haber podido verlo en escena, pero de eso ya lo comentamos al final del podcast. Vamos a viajar en el tiempo hasta los violentos años 30 en la turbulenta Chicago para embarcarnos con una orquesta de señoritas, en una historia divertida que es a la vez un viaje interior acompañados de un buen puñado de canciones. En el reparto tenemos a Christian Borle como Joe en el papel que en cine hizo Tony Curtis, que a su vez es Josephine cuando se viste de mujer y también es Kip cuando se hace pasar por un guionista. J. Harrison Ghee es Jerry, el negro amigo de Joe, papel que en cine hizo Jack Lemmon, que también interpreta a Daphne cuando se viste de mujer. Adriana Hicks es Sugar la vocalista de color que interpreta el papel que en cine hizo Marilyn Monroe.
