jondmaas.bsky.social @jondmaas.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Mr. Mustache is the one who suggested him for Barnum. He was originally going to produce it. He also got Cy to write it after he originally turned it down. 030
jondmaas.bsky.social @jondmaas.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Scapino was jaw-droppingly good. But give some credit to director Frank Dunlop, who also gave us Sherlock Holmes and The New York Idea. 230
jondmaas.bsky.social @jondmaas.bsky.social · 12/10/2026No, I think it's really fun, as was the show. It's just I hold Cy to the highest standard, maybe because I love his work so much. 020
jondmaas.bsky.social @jondmaas.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Part of the problem for me was the complete lack of a consistent style. Every song felt like it was from a different score. Michael's lyrics don't help (whereas his I Love My Wife lyrics are surprisingly good). 020
