If you've started looking for musical material for the holiday season'

For the Rockefeller Center "scrawny Christmas tree" controversy.  Is it really worse than any earlier trees before they were decorated, or is it just hitting us as sad because it's 2020.

Our videos about trying to find socially distant versions of musicals, laughing because if you don't laugh you might despair

 These were about trying to find socially distant versions of musicals, laughing because if you don't laugh you might despair. 

"MY FAR LADY"  The flower girl is given a mask sewn from flowers at a moment when she's tired of staying in.
"I've Sewn a Costume for Your Face"

A 7-minute mini-musical - where we were in May
WHEN I'M STUCK AT HOME
Parody-song musical, as MJ plays a performer and her daughter making masks while not being able to perform during quarantine and dreaming about the roles she'd love to play- Make 'Em Masks, then Rose (Gypsy), Joanne (updated Company),Bianca/Lois Lane (Kiss Me Kate), and still "Home" a while longer (Dorothy)

If you know the Neil Young song "Gonna take a Lotta Love"
"It's Gonna Take a Lotta Gloves"


Where we were in September/October - planning to re-open, but better not.

Parodies That's Entertainment-MJ, You're So Vain-Carla, Rainbow Connection -KJ, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together-Carla, Don't Sleep in the Subway-MJ, Your Smiling Face-KJ.


"TILL THERE IS HUGH" -  
about the Music Man ad and the hopeful spirit it's come to signify

Asking the musical question: Doesn't 6 feet apart beat 6 feet under?
"With My Friend Killing Time"
(This one not a parody - music and lyric by Fred Landau)
