Coming at you on a Friday because I forgot to post it yesterday, lol.
BROADWAY BID'NESS
- Barbara Streisand is back on everyone's radar, doing a nine city tour (she hits NYC next week) ahead of the release a new album at the end of the month.
- An AMAZING-SOUNDING concert performance of Ragtime is set to go off next Monday ON ELLIS ISLAND. So jealous of everybody who gets to be there.
- The developing stage musical of Frozen has acquired a new director and choreographer. Sigh.
COMMUNITY CENTER STAGE
RED ALERT: Something bad is happening in Oz! There are currently two transcriptions of the Wicked album, and BOTH are being annotated. We're even getting people annotating the same lines, doubling the work of users while halving the resulting product. Everybody should take a look at the two albums (here and here) and let me know which one you think should be hidden. There's also going to need to be a related effort to contact the people who worked on the album that ends up being hidden, asking them to reannotate/merge their work onto the "accepted" album.
Meanwhile, the community page continues to grow, and we've got another set of users to send hat tips this week: @lemoncave exercised their noggin transcribing A New Brain, @sosad21kinik is keeping up with the Hamilton (OB) album, @tzoumariposa added some epistolary scholarship on Hamilton along with @DianneDurante and @figtree who also went TO TOWN on the show, @incorrectwickedquotes (FKA @sophie106) did not live up to their new name by adding lots of certified facts to some Wicked annotations along with @kanalysis and @dnusbod, @cordyleome brought the broom down, editing lyrics and red removing on various song pages across multiple albums, @Kaylin881 went deep Into The Woods goodness, and @rochambeauu caught the scent of Something Rotten.
EXTRA EXTRA: I'm looking for community members to sign up to do some of these In Revue posts! PM me if you're interested! It's a blast! And you be granted the dubious honor of being able to choose your own
SIDE BY SIDE BY GENIUS
You were waiting for me to feature a LMM song, I know you were, so let's get into this.

In The Heights is the story of a Latin@ community in Washington Heights—there's love, death, gossip, gentrification, nostalgia, and a lottery ticket worth 96,000 dollars. In "Carnaval del Barrio," all the characters come together in the streets to a) protest a blackout and break some fire hydrants open to fight the heat and b) celebrate their various Latin heritages as one larger diasporic community. It's delightful and there's a huge amount of Spanish to translate and unpack. I once stayed up until 3 AM crying about what exactly "Entiérrame en mi tierra!" means to a community of immigrants. God bless this show.
