Twiggy And The Swinging '60s It's impossible to think about the 1960s without mentioning Twiggy. She has been a cultural icon since the '60s. She was a global sensation and the epitome of the Mod Look. Her look and fashion were synonymous with the swinging '60s. When I think of the swinging 1960s, and in particular, London in the 1960s, I think of pop and fashion. The Beatles, The Who, The Kinks, Rod Stewart, The Rolling Stones, Dusty Springfield, and [...]

You Can Now Stream the Tom Jones the Musical Album It's here! The concept album for Tom Jones the Musical is now out and available wherever you stream music. I really want to get this show out into the world.

And a huge thank you to all my friends who gave [...]
Wilkie Channels Screamin' Jay Hawkins We had two rehearsals for our show at the Rockwell. Paul told Wilkie to do a little something during the bridge to make it his own. Wilkie blew us away! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9QUlsVVD5I
Eric B. Anthony Is All, "You Sing. I'll Dance." This performance of "Fox Huntin" makes me grin from ear to ear. Jennifer Sun Bell sings the hell out of it. And that could have been it. Boom. Done. Thank you. Next. But then you add in Eric Anthony dancing and you have something special. I don't know why we didn't have Eric sing the backup vocals. It's a good thing we didn't. Instead, he surprised us with some dancing. [...]
Miatta Lebile Announces "Stand Back. I'll Show You How It's Done" What's the key to a successful performance? Cast really good people and then stay out of their way. Miatta Lebile stamped this song with "don't even think of anyone else doing this song because this bitch is mine!" All Eric Anthony had to do was react. It was a joy to watch them do this song. We had changed the key of the song but didn't have time to [...]

Here's the video, courtesy of the Foundation of New American Musicals. [...]
