  • Summary

  • Cindy and Christine praise the heroes of each Broadway season's newest musicals and bring its heinous villains to justice over bottomless libations. Who doesn't want to listen to two industry outsiders judge professionals who perform for a living? Experience is overrated...some would say. But alcohol is not. They know what they're talking about!

    The Great Gatsby
    May 1 2024

    It's been a while, but we're "Roaring On" with the season in our new episode on The Great Gatsby! "For Better or Worse", this episode was recorded before the Tony nominations were announced, so you'll hear our predictions on what we thought might get nominated (with some mixed results).

    --

    This show marks the first musical of the big Great Gatsby adaptation wars of 2023, and the other one will start performances at ART Cambridge in June.

    Cindy thought Roarin' On sounded a bit like Blurred Lines, let us know if you agree!

    Despite not getting nominated for the category, The Great Gatsby had some of the most stunning set design this season, designed by Paul Tate dePoo III

  • Back to the Future & Water for Elephants

    Back to the Future & Water for Elephants
    Mar 27 2024
    This week, we come to you to present a double feature in an attempt to get through as many of the new Broadway musicals this season as we can before the Tonys. So join us as we go "Back in Time" to a show that opened last summer and then take it "Easy" with a show that just opened last week! Note: spoilers present throughout for both shows, along with discussion and spoilers for corresponding movies (00:00) Introduction (02:19) Back to the Future (22:31) Water for Elephants -- Despite Back to the Future winning the Olivier Award for Best Musical when it was in the West End, it ended up receiving lukewarm notices on Broadway. While we weren't impressed by many of the songs, it was still interesting to read through the song-by-song breakdown of the cast album (particularly that nugget of information about Jamie Lloyd being the original director). Cindy's impressions of circus-related stories hasn't been great, starting with the song in Matilda the Musical and peaking with Guillermo del Toro's Nightmare Alley. Some examples of the acrobatics in the show can be seen in the New York Times feature, as well as in their Good Morning America performance. If you ever wanted to know about running away to join the circus, Reddit has some answers for you. While this episode was recorded during late previews of Water for Elephants, reviews have since come out. Christine was shocked at Jesse Green's critic's pick and agreed much more with Sara Holdren's review on Vulture. While there's no cast album released yet, you can get a taste of more songs from the sitzprobe, part 1 and part 2. -- Music featured in this episode: Back to the Future: The Musical Apple Music / Spotify / Amazon Music Water for Elephants: Easy The Lion Has Got No Teeth Wild The Road Don't Make You Young — Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @BottomlessBway, our blog at https://bottomlessbway.home.blog, or email us at bottomlessbway@gmail.com!

    Sutton Foster's episode of Say Yes to the Dress is one that has come up recently in our feeds, so check it out if you haven't seen it!

    John McWhorter of the New York Times wrote a piece on the lasting impact "Forgiveness" had on him when he first heard the song, despite its unusual structure.
