Description

Seasons may change, winter to spring, but we love this movie until the end of time! Our movie musical for the week is the overwhelming Baz Luhrmann mélange of major Romantic operas: Moulin Rouge! It’s hard not to love this glitter-covered jukebox musical as it takes us through a rollercoaster of emotions and pop song medleys. Join Alex and Daisha as they discuss how the modernity of the movie works well with the turn of the century setting, the music (of course), and how the movie handles its many themes, including the bohemian lifestyle, sickness, and jealousy. Do you think Moulin Rouge! is spectacular spectacular? Let us know your thoughts on Facebook or Twitter. Enjoy the show!  Film: iTunes | Amazon Prime Soundtracks: iTunes (Vol. 1 / Vol. 2) | Spotify (Vol. 1 / Vol. 2) | Amazon (Vol. 1 / Vol. 2) Show Notes Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor had a reunion last year, and it’s so goddamn cute... and insightful, of course! YouTube channel ScreenPrism actually just made a video essay about Nicole Kidman and her unique screen persona, just like we were talking about. This couple is...actually kinda cute covering “Come What May”? The Broadway musical is all about “Beauty” this week… An interesting history of the actual Moulin Rouge dance hall and Toulouse-Latrec's paintings.    Podcast cover art: David Taylor Twitter: @bwaybabies Facebook: Facebook.com/broadwaybabiespodcast
