Another Opening, Another Show
We talk a lot on here about what it means to be a New Yorker, and if that’s something we’ll ever really call ourselves. I’m still not sure I can claim the mantle, but there are definitely things that are no longer as novel to me as they were when I moved here nearly seven…

5 Musicals That Should Exist, But Don’t
Well, another theater season is over, and “The Band’s Visit” ran away with all the Tony’s. We’re happy for them (Zelda, who saw and adored the show, especially), but still we can’t say we weren’t a bit underwhelmed by the selection of musicals on Broadway this year. I’m not saying that the musicals out there…

Late Winter Playlist: Come What May
Hi, y’all. Forgive us if we aren’t at our most coherent, but at this moment we come to you from an emotional state. As Scout explained in her post last week, we both harbor a potentially unhealthy love for the sport of ice dance — and specifically, for the perfect, beautiful angels known as Tessa…

Midsummer 2017 Playlist: Patriotism or Something Like It
It’s the Fourth of July! And in celebration of the birthday of our (sometimes) great nation, we’ve got a playlist full of patriotic show tunes for you to enjoy.

Zelda’s 2016 Broadway Wish List
It’s been well-established on this blog that both Scout and I are giant theatre nerds. In my case it was ingrained since birth — my parents did meet at choir rehearsal, after all — and I spent my childhood running around the house with a basket in hand and a napkin on my head, belting out Les…

January Playlist: Non-Stop
It’s a new year, which means our lives are filled with new goals and new outlooks on how to approach the big obstacles in life. This month, we wanted to make a playlist jam-packed with the songs that give us that extra push, the ones that make us sprint that final stretch or meet that looming…

March Playlist: Musical Madness, Act II
Our love of musicals is so great it spilled over into a second act, and that’s with the pared down version. (It’s not a problem: It’s just a challenge — it’s a challenge! — to resist…putting every song we love on this list.) We pick up after intermission with two Southern gals relocating to New…

March Playlist: Musical Madness, Act I
When you move to New York, there are a lot of things that are…disappointing. Whether you’ve been rewatching You’ve Got Mail since age 7 or gobbling up Serendipity hot chocolates and Canal Street knock-offs on weekend visits, when you finally find yourself in the Big Apple, you quickly learn that the reality does not match…
