Transcript

Andi: 00:09
Hi everyone, welcome to the Sci-Fi Musicals Podcast. We are your hosts. I'm Andi Lee Carter. 

Jonathon: 00:12
And I'm Jonathon Lynch. 

Andi: 00:15
And this is a special episode that we are calling our double feature episode that you will see every month.

Jonathon: 00:29
Like sci-fi double feature, like a certain sci-fi musical that I'm sure a lot of you are familiar with out there. 

Andi: 00:35
That's right. So tell us how it works, Jonathon. 


Jonathon: 00:40
Great. So most of our main episodes are recorded well in advance, right? Because we need time to do the research and we need time to pick the things that we want to do and set up the interviews that are relevant to what we're talking about. However, this means that we can't react very quickly to when there's news or when there are other things going on in the world that we want to talk about, in the world of sci-fi musicals. So we decided then that every other week we would release one of these double feature episodes. What are you going to get in a double feature episode? Well, some of it is going to be talking about the stuff that we had talked about in the last episode. Like if there are any updates from when we recorded things. And this week there definitely are. So you're going to want to hear that. There are going to be interviews that we're going to have with people who maybe they didn't fit in the main section of the podcast that we were premiering, might be relevant, or might just be like fascinating stuff that we want to talk about that may not fit in a regular episode. Or maybe we want to highlight some really cool sci-fi musicals that are out there by people who are our friends or people who are brand new friends that we've never met before, become highly recommended and that we've become instant fans of. 

Andi: 01:45
We'll also answer listener questions and comments from you. 

Jonathon: 01:50
That's what you're going to get during this time. We hope you enjoy it. And let's kick off things by talking about news on the Star Mites and Death Note front.

Andi: 02:05
Exciting news for Death Note. It's getting a reboot. Woohoo! Some call it a world premiere. Others say, hey, it's already premiered around the world. 

Jonathon: 02:10
But because it's in England, it is a world premiere. Colonialism.

Andi: 02:21
Hashtag colonialism. We did not plan that.

Jonathon: 02:24
No, we didn't. Not at all. These are unscripted, by the way.

Andi: 02:27
So there's a London world premiere at the Barbican. Previews start July 30th and it's opening August 11th and closing September 12th. So it's a limited run. I'm super excited that it's coming to the Western world because as I said in our first episode, I was really hoping that this would happen. And guess what? It's happening.

Jonathon: 02:53
Are we prophets or what? Do we see the future? Maybe. I'm not going to deny it.

Andi: 02:58
So Starmites also has a regional production in Ohio. So that's exciting too. And I'm sure that there are probably other small productions going on around the country, around the world, because it is licensable for schools and other places. So if you're doing a production of Star Mites, please write in, let us know. We'd love to hear about it because we love Starmites and we'd love to hear if your school or your theater is doing a production of it.

Jonathon: 03:30
Yeah. And part of a broader point then, Star Mites is still out there and still getting done. So this just sort of bolsters our opinion that like Star Mites

Jonathon: 03:39
 is a cool musical that people do.

Andi: 03:41
Our next segment is we're calling just now in other sci-fi musical news. And one thing that's happening is a musical called Bigfoot. It has just opened at the New York City center stage and it's running through April 26th. So if you're in New York or you can get to New York and check that out.

Jonathon: 04:03
When I first saw that there was a Bigfoot musical going on, I thought that perhaps it might be a reimagining of Sasquatch'd the musical. But hey, just like there are two wild parties out there, I'm sure that there are there's room for two forest mythic cryptids out there too.

Andi: 04:21
Or many. So there's the room in this world for all the cryptid musicals. Is there a is there a Yeti musical? Yeah. I mean, we were talking about writing a Jersey Devil musical.

Jonathon: 04:38
Yeah.

Andi: 04:39
Okay, so the Bigfoot musical that is now playing at center stage with music by David A. Schmoll and Amber Ruffin, with a book by Amber Ruffin and Kevin Sciretta, and lyrics by Amber Ruffin as well. And if you don't know who Amber Ruffin is, who has three credits on this musical, she is a fabulous comedian and writer. Also, she uh did rewrites on the book for The Wiz, which we'll be talking about this season. So she's no stranger to sci-fi musical theater, and we're very excited that this show is happening now. At the time of this recording, I have not seen the show, but I will be seeing it hopefully later this week. So um I'm very excited to see it. Uh, some of the cast is great. We've got Alex Moffat from SNL, Jason Tam, who is in Be More Chill.

Jonathon: 05:40
I'm a big fan, whatever any very talented people like comedians or whatever, or people in other areas, go into musical theater and be writers in it and collaborate with people who know musical theater as a genre very well. Because I think that as long as there's like a real interplay, real collaboration between everybody, it's sort of it feels like the best of both worlds then, because you get that kind of cool, very talented like perspective that's that brings something new and interesting to the art while at the same time you get the grounded in like what makes the art work as a nuts and bolts sort of a thing. So I'm very excited about this show. And Andi, you'll have to let me know what you think of it because I'm not sure if uh just from my schedule, I'm not sure if I'm gonna be able to get out and see this one.

Andi: 06:23
Yeah, I'll definitely let you know. And if we have a chance to talk about it with some of the creative team, uh, we'll

Andi: 06:30
 definitely get them on here for an episode. Oh, heck yeah. Great. Now let's just talk about some of the stuff from last episode. For example, I wanted to mention that you know, we had a great start for our podcast. Um listeners. This is so many listeners. Um I got a notification that we are the number three podcast in music commentary in Iceland.

Jonathon: 06:57
Iceland loves us. Oh, and we love you back. Thank you.

Andi: 07:00
Thank you to both of our listeners in Iceland. We're number three. We're number three. So keep those downloads coming and make sure that you subscribe to our podcast and follow us wherever you get podcast streaming. We're available on all the platforms now.

So wherever you can listen to podcasts, you can find us.

Jonathon: 07:40
I'm also going to say, too, leave a five-star rating and a quick little review because those are the things that help us get to the top of the algorithm. And they're super simple for all of you to do. Literally, just like get into that podcast thing and just click on the five stars.

You can subscribe to our RSS feed on Patreon, which also connects you to the other apps. On Patreon, you can get the episodes early if you become a paid member. We are listener supported, so we really appreciate that 

Andi: 08:25
support. So, updates on our guests, the Rigano songbook. Paul and David Rigano are still kicking it in the musical theater and sci-fi musical theater world. They are, you know, writing musicals. David works at the drama bookshop where he also does the official podcast of the drama book shop. And the podcast crossover. Yes. You can also find that in our Pods We Love section. We do support other great podcasts, especially from fellow theater people, musical theater people.

Jonathon: 09:00
And similarly, if you, the listener out there, have an interesting podcast that is theater or science fiction related specifically, let us know about it. And like we'll give you a little bump here, too.

Andi: 09:10
Yeah, we love to support aligned interests. They've also published, you know, sheet music and books. And so you can check out all their work on their website, the reganosongbook.com, and follow them on their social media, which is the same handle, Regano Songbook. And yeah, please please follow them and please make sure that you listen to our first episode. They gave a great interview talking about their experience working with Barry Keating, who was the writer of Star Mites and a lot of their other experiences. And we'll probably have Paul back on for sure, both of them, of course. But Paul worked on Be More Chill, a regional production. So when we when we talk about Be More Chill, we'll probably season two. So stick with us. We're in it for the long haul. Yeah, we haven't we didn't talk about Be More Chill yet in season one, but it's high up on my list. And I do have a blog out on my blog uh website, sci fi musicals.com. So we have a long list. And if you want to add to that list, you can also let us know what musicals you'd like to see us feature because we are adding to that list. So please let us know what you'd like to hear us talk about because we've been hearing some great suggestions already from people too.

Jonathon: 10:28
Some things that are like, yep, absolutely. We're covering this, we're we're getting to it.

Andi: 10:33
Like it is the have we heard anything that we haven't thought of yet? I'm trying to think. Anything that's obscure that like has existed in the ether where we've probably we've probably heard of it, but like still mention it because we might not have we might not have gotten to it yet. Like someone mentioned the War of the Worlds concept album from the 70s. Yes, it's on my list. I have it on my list.

Jonathon: 11:04
And also, like, we want to hear what kinds of things you're interested in, right? Absolutely. Like, what are you gonna engage with? What are what are topics that like you'd want to hear us talk about, not just because, like, oh, this is a thing, but because you like it and you're a legit fan of it. And maybe you want all of our listeners to also know about it and keep out with the rest of

Jonathon: 11:20
 us. So please keep those suggestions coming in.

Andi: 11:23
Great, and we're also excited for you to hear our next episode, which is about superheroes. We're featuring the Spider-Man. Oh no, no, Spider-Man, different superhero. We're featuring the Superman musical from the 60s and SpongeBob, the musical.

Jonathon: 11:42
You did pick another S superhero though. SpongeBob, Superman, Spider-Man.

Andi: 11:47
You know, there are a lot of S superheroes. I'm at a friend's house now, and he was showing me his comic book collection. He has an entire box that's just for S.

Jonathon: 11:58
I'm my brain is spinning off into potential S superheroes.

Andi: 12:03
There are a lot of S superheroes. It just is a fact. And our guest is the incomparable Doug Reside from the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center.

Jonathon: 12:18
Honestly, I'd be happy to bring Doug on for literally any episode we talk about because he is just as much of a sci-fi and musical theater nerd as any of us are. And he is like instrumental to the kinds of collections that they're doing at the New York Public Library. He's enabling academics to do so much research just from his own work, and people are building entire theses off of what he's doing. So it's and like he's a friend. And if you're in the New York area now, you should head over to the Performing Arts Library where you can see Mystery and Wonder, a legacy of golden age magicians in New York City. They put on these fantastic exhibitions every now and then, just so well curated, digging out all kinds of amazing. I was gonna say artifacts. I that's probably not the official term, but that's how I like to think of them. These magical artifacts that they have just in their like Indiana Jones-esque archives in the back that they will every now and then put in like like for a public display that you can like just go and see and see these amazing things. I have I've never been disappointed by one of these exhibits, so you should head off there if you are in town and available. Also, magic is science fictional, so it's true, it's relevant.

Andi: 13:30
And you should always talk to a librarian if you're curious about something, because they know everything.

Jonathon: 13:39
As we talked about at the beginning of this episode, something that we want to be doing on these double feature moments are talking about new science fiction musicals that we really like, ones that maybe our friends are doing, and maybe ones that like brand new friends are doing that we've never met before. And so for today, I want to talk to Andi about a musical Andi is working on. Me? Yeah. This is a work that I've seen little bits of and have been super impressed by it. It is it is bizarre and delightful and strange. It is a science fiction musical in like bar none, like exhibit A of what you could do with this sort of a genre. I'm super excited to see what happens with it and where it goes because it is it is moving. Andi, what is this musical you're working on?

Andi: 14:33
Yes, I'm glad you asked, Jonathon. So the show that I am working on right now is called Tyromancy Live! An immersive cheese musical.

Jonathon: 14:46
Tyromancy Live! An immersive cheese musical. There is so much cool stuff to unpack about that. Do you have any questions? Yes. What is tyromancy?

Andi: 14:55
I ask knowingly. That's a good question, Jonathon. You might know, but our listeners might not know.

Both: 15:02
Spoilers, spoilers, spoilers.

Andi: 15:06
Tyromancy is an ancient art and practice using cheese for divination. So telling the future with cheese, sort of like how we use tarot or tea leaves for telling someone's future or path.

Jonathon: 15:24
So how does that work practically? Is it like you look at the cheese and you smell it and you get visions? Is it that you have to taste it? Is it like a communal thing, a room full of people like eating the cheese? Like on a practical sense, like what is it that like gives a divination from the cheese?

Andi: 15:39
So, in a practical sense, it is very ancient, but it was done a lot in the Middle Ages. And people would find a piece of cheese, and then they look at like the holes in it, or like the cracks in it, and say, Oh, like this hole means you're gonna have three kids, or this line means you're going to die next week. Or so they they'd interpret the cheese based on the mold or the holes or the veins or the cracks or the ash in it. And yeah, I don't know if like actual visions are involved uh in the practice of it, like practically, but in our show we we take it to like a more magical level for because it's a musical and you gotta take things to their extremes. Yeah, in our show, our protagonist has some pretty powerful, you know, pretty magical powers, I'd say.

Jonathon: 16:40
Great, great. Tyromancy Live, how does that work for the audience then? Uh this feels like with live there, it feels like there's a technical element to it. So not set in say ancient Greece or in the Middle Ages, perhaps. Great.

Andi: 16:54
That's a great question. Yes. So the show is set in the present day. It is also an immersive musical. So it's live because the character, the protagonist character, Tiffany, is a cheese tyromancer influencer. And she is now doing this live show. She usually does stuff online, and so she's doing this live show as a way to sort of like prove her powers to a certain group of people that that she thinks don't believe her. So she's so I don't want to get too much into the weeds because I'd love people to like come and see the show, but like the basic idea is that she is trying to like prove herself in this live production. And so she's doing it live to like have evidence that she really can do this magic. And it's also being live streamed. I'm putting this in air quotes, so like like the show itself, our production is not being live streamed, but in the fictional world of the show, she is live streaming it out to her followers to watch her like prove herself to this live group of people. So when you say interactive, will there be cheese? There will be cheese. Yes. We are serving cheese to the audience.

Jonathon: 18:20
Maybe you should have led with that, is what I'm saying.

Andi: 18:24
Yes, it's multimedia, it's a musical, and there will be munchies.

Jonathon: 18:31
Absolutely fantastic. I mean, with the I know I'm I'm starting to get to know who the listeners of this podcast are, and I can't think of anything else that would more squarely fit what y'all want to see and y'all want to hear about. Speaking of seeing and hearing, like, can we can we hear a clip of the show right now? Is there a song that you want to Yeah?

Andi: 18:52
So we'll start with uh a little bit from the opening. So this is this is just the very beginning. I'll just play a little bit so you can hear just the Tiffany's sort of introduction to herself and the world.

Jonathon: 19:06
Now I know that this is the opening number, so usually you don't need a whole lot of setup. Is there anything that like anything in terms of the set or in terms of the seating or in terms of the sort of like the like anything costuming on stage that we need to know in order to set this up?

Andi: 19:23
Um well, what you'll see is you'll see Tiffany on screen introducing herself from the screen, and then she'll appear live on stage. Awesome, awesome. And that's kind of how it starts. Great. What's the name of the song? So yeah, this is our second version of the opening number, and it is called The Power of Cheese.

Tiffany: 19:51
I WAS TRAINED AS AN ACCOUNTANT
I REVELED IN THE RULES OF MATH
I LOVED STRUCTURES AND SYSTEMS
I STAYED ON THE PATH
BUT PEACE DOESN’T COME FROM PROJECTIONS
WHAT IF INSIGHT CAN’T BE PLANNED?
WHAT IF COMFORT COMES SOFTLY
IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND?

CHEESE!
MATTER SHAPED BY TIME AND FORCE
PRESSED AND BROKEN OF COURSE
IT CRACKS. IT CURDLES.
IT SPREADS. IT SEES.
THAT IS THE POWER
THE POWER OF CHEESE

Jonathon: 20:35
I love it. I don't know if I've heard this version of the opener. I love it. I'm so on board with it. Like I needed to get more on board with this one anyway. I always love it when there's a character who starts from a very realistic, very kind of like rigid numbers math, like this is my system kind of a world. And then they realize that they need to break out of that into something that's a little more expressive or perhaps magical or a whole new world sort of a thing. It seems like this character is following that trend very well, and that we see that bit of it before the show begins, so that then we're getting to see how they're really sort of like cooking as the show goes on, like at the height of their powers, perhaps. Exactly.

Andi: 21:16
And uh role for a soprano, too. Yeah, it gets even more soprano-y in this next clip. Yes, let's hear it. What have you got for the next clip? As in any great story, things go wrong. Yep. As Tiffany's trying to show off her powers and prove herself, things happen in the show that she wasn't expecting. Like every time she tries to do a cheese reading, instead of the cheese doing things that she expects, it keeps popping up with the word wormhole.

Jonathon: 21:53
Wormhole.

Andi: 21:54
Interesting. Yeah. And so every time that happens, she is sent into a sort of like weird trance like state. And so we're gonna hear a little snip of that trance. Excellent. What song is this? What's it called? It's just called Tiffany's Trance. Tiffany's Trance. Let's hear it.

Tiffany: 22:22
THE PORTAL IS OPEN,
THE VOID HAS COME,
THERE IS NOTHING LEFT,
ALL MUST SUCCUMB.
THE VOID!
THE VOID!

Jonathon: 22:45
One of the jobs I do in uh I I wouldn't say my day-to-day life, because I still work within like musical theater and things like that, is that I'm a voice teacher, I'm an educator, I play for a lot of musical theater classes, and there are so many sopranos out there that are like, I love the contemporary stuff, and that really jives with me. But I am a soprano and nobody's writing anything for me, for my voice type now. It's maybe Ride the Cyclone, it's maybe a couple things that Dave Malloy wrote, and that's about it. So, like anytime that we get like this just massive soprano work that's also sounding very contemporary, I'm all on board.

Andi: 23:22
Yeah. You all, our composer Henco Espag is all about that super high, basically operatic soprano sound. So absolutely. Who else are you working with beyond Henco? I'm also working with my co-lyricist and book writer Brianna Harris. So she and I write the words together and Henco writes the music. Excellent. Do you officially just call yourselves Team HAB, or is that more for the lab than anything? No, that's we officially are called Team HAB. So it's Henco, Andi, and Brianna. Right.

Jonathon: 23:57
So Team HAB coming through with the Tyromancy musical. That's um, fun story, and this might be more about how our how creepy our own very science fiction age is. But after I saw the first bit of Tyromancy Live, I came home and went on Facebook, and all my Facebook ads were about Tyromancy and about cheese. And I'm like, what the hell?

Andi: 24:18
How did this happen? That's so crazy. Because like before that, you'd never heard the word before.

Jonathon: 24:24
Yeah, and then literally everywhere because Facebook is like, oh, I heard Tyromancy. Cool. Like you must really like tell and fortune with cheese. Here's everything you want. You want this? I can give you this.

Andi: 24:35
This is your content now.

Jonathon: 24:37
So hey, have you got another song to show?

Andi: 24:39
I do. Amazing. This last song is from one of Tiffany's apprentices who works with her to support her show. And so this is Zaylee, who is more of like the marketing promotional guru, and is trying to keep everything on the rails when it's all going off the rails. And then the other apprentice is Eli, who's like the basically the camera person. Okay. And kind of like shy and behind the scenes where Zaylee is like, I'm here and I'm and so when everything's going wrong, Zaylee is trying to keep the show together. And so she decides to do the merch. So this song is about all the cheese merch that they have that they're trying to plug for the brand. That's fantastic. So the name of the song is Tasty. Tasty. Let's hear it.

Zaylee: 25:41
HAVE YOU HEARD OF OUR CURD LIP MOISTURE BALM?

Jonathon: 26:32
Yeah, I was just thinking that.

Andi: 26:35
So our Tiffany is Jamilyn  Manning, and our Zaylee is Marcel Werder.

Jonathon: 26:43
Fantastic. Well done. Well done to them.

Andi: 26:46
Oh, and one more thing. We also have a third performer, Achilles Mulkey, is playing Eli.

Jonathon: 26:52
Cool. I've worked with Achilles. Achilles is great. Everybody should hire Achilles for everything.

Andi: 26:56
I agree.

Jonathon: 26:58
Why'd you settle on the name Tiffany?

Andi: 27:00
Oh, because have you ever heard of the Tiffany problem? No, what is the Tiffany problem? It's Tiffany is actually an ancient name. Oh, that.

Jonathon: 27:09
Yes.

Andi: 27:09
Okay. Cool. But it sounds modern.

Jonathon: 27:12
Yes. Awesome.

Jonathon: 27:13
 Something that to our listeners that we like to do with all of the musicals that we talk about is do a little tech check on the musical. And that is how realistic is the technology in this show? Mind you, this is not a judgment call about how much we like the show or do not like the show, because there are some amazing works that we are huge fans of where the tech check is just nope, this could never possibly ever freaking happen. Andi, how would you rate the tech check on your show?

Andi: 27:41
I would say that I don't know how realistic Tyromancy is with the visions part, but it is a real thing as far as like as much as like tarot is, you know, like can it be influential in helping you with decisions or or whatever in your life that you use any kind of divination for in the So it sounds like your depiction of Tyromancy is based in reality, only just a little exaggerated. Yes, yes. And then with the wormhole stuff, obviously that's not exactly scientific because we're not even really using wormholes the way that wormholes work. But we're just saying theoretically work because we haven't even spotted a real wormhole. That says it might exist. When we say wormhole, we just mean like it's the end of the world, like it's a bad thing that's happening. Like it's a big scary thing. We're not literally like using it as a portal to another dimension or like don't get too thick and deep in the weeds, like in the sci-fi on that one. But so I would just say, like, for realistic stuff and tech check, it's like technically, like physics and stuff is pretty low because we're not really like following the laws of physics if we're getting into the weeds about that. So I would say like maybe four, but like most of it is based in like a reality that we live in now because like we're live, we're doing like a meta kind of we're talking to the audience, the audience is involved. Like it's very like there is the live stream element. I'm putting air quotes where like we're seeing like technology being used in a realistic way. So it is that part I would put up to like a an eight or a nine. But like when we're getting to the magical and then the sci-fi stuff, I would put it down low. So I don't know, it's kind of a mixed bag.

Jonathon: 29:39
I think that our personal preferences are that if it's sort of like grounded in our reality here, like ostensibly it's something that could take place in our present and in the universe, we tend to rate it a little bit higher in the tech check because there are things like cars that exist. And cars are not some like magical transporter doohickey that like jumps you from one spot to another. They are real physics-y kinds of stuff. And so I think just by placing it in our contemporary world, like whatever work we're talking about, that automatically sort of sets it a little bit higher because it's not in a world that is completely run by magic or completely run by um like unobtainium or something along those lines.

Andi: 30:22
Yeah. Yeah, I just say like there's those two elements that are not realistic at all. And we've conceded to that. It's like an interstellar, you know, it was it was partially written by an astrophysicist who made sure that the science, even when they're going through the black hole, was like really, really accurate, except where it wasn't, you know. Right. Yeah.

Jonathon: 30:42
It's like I'm reminded of the movie and the book series The Martian, where they really were using the best examples of the technology they had at the time. And the only acknowledgement that they had was sandstorms wouldn't be that hard on Mars. Right. It's like if that's the only little bit of like scientific exaggeration you're doing the drama. The weather was really bad, yeah, but they need the drama for it. And if that's the thing that kicks off the plot, cool. But like if everything else is so super grounded, then like we're so living in hard science fiction land here.

Andi: 31:09
Yeah, yeah. So I'd say like there's two things that are really, really important to the plot and the story. So I feel like that knocks it down a bit, but like the world that we're living in is pretty realistic.

Yeah, yeah. Like I also think about like the Blues Brothers movie where like they said the writers of it said that was the only science fiction movie we ever wrote. And they're like, What do you mean? That it seems very realistic. He's like, Oh, because like in one of the early scenes in it, the Blues Brothers are stopped by some police officers and they go back to their car and they like enter in their information in a machine that spits out the fact that these are very wanted criminals in their midst. And such technology did not exist at the time, so that makes it science fiction. And it's like, wow, that's okay, cool. So I'm looking forward to talking about the Blues Brothers movie on this podcast for that one science fiction element and any opportunity that this former Chicagoan gets to talk about the Blues Brothers. Hey, so we've heard some of the songs from the show. Now, where can people see the whole thing?

Andi: 32:11
Yes,

Andi: 32:11
 so we are performing the entire production at the Rat Theater in Dumbo, Brooklyn. And that will be the last weekend of April and the first weekend of May. So April 25th and 26th, and May 2nd and 3rd.

Jonathon: 32:27
Awesome. And did I also see that you're running a Kickstarter for the show?

Andi: 32:32
Yes, we are running a GoFundMe for the show. So we'll put that in our show notes so you can check that out and donate to the cause. Thank you, Jonathon, for donating. Of course. Happy to support. Tickets should be on sale. Check out the rat website. I'll also put the ticket link in the show notes so you can get tickets to come see the show. Yeah, we're really excited about it, and we hope everybody comes down to Brooklyn to check it out. And like we said, it is sci-fi. There are wormholes involved. Um beyond the magic. Yeah, like so it's already got the magic, but it goes even further into the space-time situation as well.

Tyromancy. Tyromancy. Use it in a sentence. T-Y-R-O-M-A-N-C-Y. Tyromancy. That is correct.
