I’m a big fan of MCC’s benefit concert, Miscast. It’s a yearly concert with a ton of Broadway performers in one big cabaret; the catch is that they’re singing songs that were originally for characters of the opposite gender. It’s a chance for actors to play roles they would never be typically cast as. For […]

I am sitting in a dark corner of Cielo, a club in the West Village whose twitter proudly proclaims it as “WHERE HOUSE MUSIC LIVES!!” But it’s midday. The sun shines in through an open door. And there’s definitely no house music. Instead, there are five dancers rehearsing a narrative dance piece based on the […]

Singing in an ensemble is one of the most important skills a musical theatre actor can have. It’s pretty easy to sing by yourself; you only have to listen for your part and maybe a counter-melody in the accompaniment. But being able to hold a harmony in a multi-person song can be challenging if you’re […]

Remember when showtunes were on the radio? When listening to musicals was considered “cool”? Yeah, me neither. Yet that used to be the norm during the Golden Age of Broadway musicals. For years and years, Broadway songs filled the pop charts and were heard on the airwaves across America. Then, slowly but surely, other styles of music […]

Modern musical theatre has become a master class in honest dialogue – and what a welcome and amazing thing that is. When I first heard the songs of Kerrigan-Lowdermilk many years ago, that is what struck me most – the honesty. Kerrigan’s lyrical prowess lies in her ability to balance honest awkwardness with poetic metaphor. […]

A songwriter examines the tools he has to survive the inevitable. Eighty-eight keys. Twenty-six letters. That’s it. That’s all that separates me from oblivion. Often when I sit at the piano with my laptop resting on top, getting ready to write, it hits me: every key is there, every letter already formed, every pitch […]

Fall is one of my favourite seasons. It means cozy sweaters, apple cider, and reuniting with friends and family to enjoy the last few months of nice weather. The beautiful scenery is calming and inspiring, and my love for autumn is what sparked the idea for this playlist. After all, music can speak for us […]

Currently, I am obsessed with the cast recording of Hamilton. This album is completely genius. When I listen, I find myself focused on each line, listening carefully trying to take in every lyric on the album. I am constantly amazed by the cleverly crafted lyrics and sound. My favorite song or lyric changes constantly, but […]

It’s finally autumn. The leaves are changing their colors and falling from the trees. The days are getting shorter, and the air is getting cooler. If you’re anything like me, then the fall atmosphere puts you in a very mellow and lethargic state. My mind likes to hibernate this time of year, and when that […]

If you’re a college student, then you’ll know that the dreaded midterm season is underway. You’re probably swamped with work trying to study and write papers. But if you’re like me, you’ll also need to take a couple study breaks throughout the night. One of my favorite ways to de-stress (or procrastinate) is to watch […]
