Content

Just TRY to shut me up once I start talking about showtunes, I DARE YOU.

In this overlong bonus video, we take a look at some of the queer stuff happening on Broadway in the 1970s, from the first openly gay villain (played by Star Trek's Rene Auberjonois! Hear him sing here!) to the fun fancy farce that is the show tastefully entitled Gulp! You know a musical's going to be good when it has an exclamation point in the title. (This is how I was tricked into seeing Oh! Calcutta! many years ago, which I do not recommend.)

Incredibly, I forgot to talk about the insanity that is Let My People Come in this video, so we'll just have to save that for next time. But you will get a heaping helping of Hepburn!

Until next time, my Peters, Pauls, and Marys.
