Tonight we go to Broadway!
We start with what is a stunning dance and music number from Matilda The Musical. The musical, based on the 1988 kid's book, has been around for little more than a decade, but it finally made it to the screen with Netflix. It doesn't surprise me, as these streaming services have a need for constantly new content that they put forward. The good news is they didn't just mail this one in, as they put in the time and effort.
The song 'Revolting Children' from the musical is very enjoyable, but the dancing they got these kids to do makes this a stunning scene. Unbelievable! These are some very hard dance routines for seasoned pros to pull off, but getting a bunch of kids to do it is bonkers. Enjoy it!
As long as I am bringing up Broadway dancing, Let's look also look at the beginning of two other Broadway dance-heavy musicals, All that Jazz and A Chorus Line. Notice the similarities between these two opening scenes!
Finally a laugh tonight from a few blocks north of Broadway. The 92nd St. Y in New York hosts some pretty good interviews, but this one between Bill Hader and John Mulaney is great. Very funny but with a few bad words.
Have a great weekend. Please get vaccinated against COVID if you haven't already been.
