A little bit of live singing from across the globe: we don’t get to hear much of the fine arts from North Korea, but I found this particular YouTube Video strangely compelling as the lovely waitress sang.
As part of the blog off, I think this is a good example of the value of the fine […]

I’m lucky enough to be in Lansing, MI tonight working with a web client, and she has invited me out to Magdalena’s Teahouse tonight to see Medicine Crow perform.

I’m sure you’ll be able to hear this kind of thing on the DVD when it comes out, but meanwhile, here’s a nice treat: learning about the process of taking Sweeney Todd from stage to screen - including interviews with cast members, and more.
