| 28 | Part 1: It's Actually Not Popular Defying Gravity - From The Top! Wicked | 16 Nov 2023 | 01:16:13 | |
Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of this wonderful show that teaches us it's not all hair "toss-toss"es and dancing through life, sometimes it takes a little loathing to come into your own. From the Top! hosts Mary and Steven take on the show that seems to just keep on defying gravity, Wicked. Steven breaks down a lot of history and backstory this show has in Part 1, from its origins in L. Frank Baum's books, to Gregory MacQuire reimagining a protagonist, to Steven Schwartz throwing hissy fits to get his way for a production, so sit back and enjoy a little trip down the yellow brick road to the Ozdust ballroom. It's the most swankified place in town after all. Happy Listening! FOLLOW US! For all the latest content and fun things to come, subscribe, hit that like button, and follow.

...There will be hissing. =^.^= This week in Show Notes proves difficult as our dynamic duo fights like cats... about CATS.

| 18. It's Hip to Be Square... and Naked Covered in Blood - From The Top! American Psycho: The Musical | 01 Jun 2023 | 01:30:25 | |
The Style Section is placed and the plastic draping is up as Steven and Mary navigate the psycho within themselves in this week's episode of From The Top! covering Brett Easton Ellis's novel, Christian Bale's Cult Classic, and a musical that may have been axed a little too early. That's right... Turn up Huey Lewis and the News, and enjoy going a little crazy with American Psycho: The Musical. Steven returns again to the booth with Mary and all that can be said is... They went a little Psycho... Steven quotes the author verbatim on how this story of yuppie culture came to fruition and wishes Duncan Sheik hadn't been able to book his reservation as composer, and Mary finds vindication in such our main, sinfully delicious, character, and attempts to understand what was going on in the minds of these insane 80's tropes. Hell... Even Elmo makes a cameo Tom Cruise would be proud of. So sit back and don't drink that glass of really great champagne, turn up your Walkman, and enjoy the honey almond body wash aroma as you dive into madness for a spell. Happy Listening! FOLLOW US!

| 17. On My Own At An Empty Table I Dreamed A Dream... Then Died On A Chair Wall - From The Top! Les Misérables | 18 May 2023 | 01:36:16 | |
The only thing more rickety than a wall made of furniture in this week's episode of From The Top! are Mary and Steven as they fight their own dramatic French angst to get through a review of the iconic and, dare they say, (in an overly exaggerated French accent) superb spectacle that is Les Misérables. Steven digs up the history of what was happening in France for the setting of this musical and shares some insight into Victor Hugo as to why he would write his second popular work about a June Rebellion. Mary focuses on the major themes of this show and how the characters are affected by worldly forces, trying to understand what makes her so tepid about such a high-energy, very awe-inspired, production that Cameron Mackintosh has swept the world with. So visit the Thenardier's Inn and sit a spell (just check your pockets before you leave) and listen in to some great discussion over a thief, a love triangle for the ages, a lady of the night and Rapunz-... I mean, Joanna-... I mean... her daughter, and a hyper-focused po-po. Happy Listening! FOLLOW US! For all the latest content and fun things to come, subscribe, hit that like button, and follow.
