NewMusicalTheatre.com Concert is rocking my world!


Check out the flashy, all-star opening for the NewMusicalTheatre.com concert. It's an awesome arrangement of some of my favorite (and I'm sure some of your favorite) tunes by writers featured on the website. Be sure to check and subscribe to their youtube channel for other hot performances. This is seriously the trendiest looking concert ever! Whoever lit this should be nommed for a TONY on May 4th. Oh okay, just because I know you'll eat this up, here's another performance. It's the stunning Whitney Bashor singing a cut of "Perfect" by Benj & Justin. Side note, this song should ALWAYS be sung with a fan blowing on you.

Andrew's Blog Playlist of the Month: April


More and more I've been getting my jeans dirty hunting for the best new music online. Of course this means less and less are my favorite songs available on itunes. This month, almost half of the songs have either not been released or are probably not going to be, so if there's a song that you're not gonna be able to find on itunes, I've made the track name clickable to where you can either download it legally or stream it online. I hope you enjoy these (mostly) new trendy songs that have been the soundtrack to my April.

1) "You Oughta Know" -- Das Racist
2) "Dance Floor" -- Apples in Stereo
3) "Clap Your Hands" -- Sia
4) "Nun" -- I Am Arrows
5) "Things You Used to Say" -- Very Truly Yours
6) "Stranger" -- Dr. Dog
7) "Laura (GIRLS cover)" -- Mates of State
8) "Rich Girl (Hall & Oates Cover)" -- The Bird and The Bee
9) "Little Bit" -- Lykke Li
10) "In Ruins" -- Fol Chen
11) "Dog Days Are Over" -- Florence & The Machine
12) "Stranger Things" -- Local Natives
13) "Drunk Girls" -- LCD Soundsystem
14) "Cooler Couleur" -- Crookers
15) "The Right Direction" -- The Dirty Diamonds
16) "It's Alright (On The Suez Canal)" -- Leisure
17) "Collar Bones" -- North Highlands
18) "Boyfriends" -- Secret Cities
19) "California" -- Low

Baby Adele

Um this girl is my favorite person of the day. You better just riff little 9-year-old! Seriously, her name is Heather Russell and she sounds like Adele. She's only got like 200 views. I call viral on this one by next week. It's a good thing Justin Bieber's voice is changing because I think we just found his replacement.

Listen Up by Heather on Piano! from clipontie on Vimeo.

Dangerous Wands

Well this was just begging to be made! I'm so glad they got Elaine Carroll (the chick from Very Mary-Kate who I'm obsessed with) to be in it.

Buck's recap of his Streamy weekend

Definitely the highlight of my weekend was getting to hang with Michael Buckley and his amazing husband Michael (The Michaels! Too cute!). He's truly a wonderful guy and just as present and hysterical in person as you could ever hope. We had a hilarious night at some campy burlesque club in Hollywood. As you'll hear from his video, the actual awards show all kinds of special. But at the end of the day, it was a great excuse to spend a weekend with Jake, Dani & Nina and to connect with awesome people like Michael & Michael!

The new hipster MT standard!

I'm obsessed with the song "New Home" by Nick Blaemire! First off, Dave Hull's sexy voice is too much for me! He's always been one of my favorite male voices, and I'm so excited that he's performing on Broadway in WICKED right now. Secondly, this song is seriously so good. I'm totally banking on this being the new go-to song for young musical theatre dudes. That means we can be expecting a lot of "New Homes" in student cabarets and in the 2011 Senior Showcase season ;) This was filmed at Nick's Lincoln Center concert (fancy pants!). It's from the forthcoming musical he's writing, FINDING ROBERT HUTCHENS.

Also be sure to check out some other equally good songs from his concert on the UrInTown channel

VERY MARY-KATE: Genius new webseries!

I've been meaning to blog about this for weeks! You guys have to start watching this hilarious new webseries, "Very Mary-Kate," based on our favorite freckled hot mess twin, Mary-Kate Olsen. I'm amazed at how short yet packed each mini episode is and I'm obsessed with this chick playing Mary-Kate. Homegirl's giving a kind of brilliant performance with some genius line deliveries!
