Life's But A Song
A podcast that lives in the land of musicals. I'm joined by a new guest each episode to discuss either musical movies, musical TV series, or the musical episode of a show. https://linktr.ee/Butasongpod

Shady's back to take us to the West Side of NYC circa 1957, where we're stepping into Steven Spielberg's first musical movie and a remake to boot. She and Jon just love this movie! Also, Jon managed to get one of the Shark girls as a special guest to tell us how she got cast and some fun stories from set.

Arianna is back to kick off another Second Chance month! This time we head to 1950s New York City to talk about the men cast as singing gamblers, the music of the stage version that were cut for the movie and what was added in it's place, and some stuff that were left out of the First Chance.

Roland is back to go back in time to 1930s Germany where he and Jon examine the origin of the 1982 classic Victor/Victoria. Jon makes some bold statements, while the two can't get over how important this film is to film history.

"Cover is not the book/So open it up and take a look"...wait, wrong property. Aaron is back to bring us some more live theatre, and this time it's the 2022 Off-Broadway show Between the Lines. It's a fantastical tale that Jon and Aaron try to fix for future productions.

Arianna brings to us a film Jon has heard about for a while, and is happy this is the first time he's watched it. Children playing gangsters but in a serious way. Cream pies as weapons. And Paul Williams as the singing voice for some of the kids. Wild.

We close off Jon's Picks with a long and weird musical movie starring Rex Harrison, so naturally Jon picked bestie Colden to talk about this movie (which Jon assumed Colden has seen already). The two get into this movie as much as the props designer did with the Great Pink Sea Snail.
Thank you to Gary Kochey for suggesting this one.
