Relevant much? ”The book illustrates, profoundly, how people gird themselves, consciously and unconsciously, for the great moral tests they know are coming, even as they absorb and interpret the shocking curtailments of freedom to their daily lives." ‪@princetonupress.bsky.social‬

If you’d like to hear me talk about my favorite subject beyond American musicals—orange hitler 2.0—listen to this episode of “Shrinking Trump,” which is a great podcast. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cyp3...

If you'd like to hear me talk about this genius at New York's Lambs Club on December 5, dm me. You'll learn about how the American musical is forever stamped with Oscar Hammerstein II's innovations as well as his ethics and his vision for the country.
