An Authors Note: Two Points 1.) Elton John is a genius.2.) That is all. And now, a letter from Amneris to Aida. Dearest Aida, It has now been fifteen years since you and Radames passed. Though perhaps it’s a bit poetic to say, “passed.” I did send you to death after all. But I truly didn’t want to, I promise! It was the law, and what Daddy says, goes. But anyway, I hope you two are doing well. I don’t quite know where you are, if you’re in the afterlife…awesome. If not, I…See More

Dudley Voigt commented on Lily Hammer's blog post An ode to Drag (Priscilla, Queen of the Desert)"My favorite lines are "with outfits couture" and "spent from the cute"
You done a great job again with meeting the general review requirements with a poem. Looking forward to what other creative approaches you may take.

Erica Solomon commented on Lily Hammer's blog post An ode to Drag (Priscilla, Queen of the Desert)"Great use of the poetic review form. You did a good job of sharing information about the play without breaking form. You should write promotional jingles. "

Particularly strong stanzas about your own experience and the performances of the individuals. "

Overall, you do a good job of using details from the show to support your "feminist" perspective.
As always, I will push for more details to support your thesis. With a script and characters that…"
Lily Hammer posted a blog postBeauty and the Beast: A Show to Forget
Beauty and the Beast: A Show to ForgetDisney’s Beauty and the Beast opened Tuesday, October 16 at the Orpheum Theatre in Downtown Minneapolis. If you were born after 1991, and had a relatively normal American childhood filled with Disney movies, then you’ve probably seen the classic film and know the story. The story follows a young woman named Belle, played by Hilary Maiberger, in a “poor, provincial town” in France. Her father, Maurice, played by William A. Martin, is the town crazy, and the…See More
Lily Hammer posted a blog postMamma Mia, here we go again (oh no) I could probably resist you.
The music of our parents is usually music that we young folks aren’t so fond of. However, the music of ABBA has always been a band that captures my heart as well as my ears, and I was looking forward to seeing Mamma Mia, a jukebox musical commemorating the band’s songs. And as soon as I heard Sophie’s (played by Chloe Tucker) first note, I was still convinced I’d be a fan of the show.As I mentioned before, Mamma Mia! is a jukebox musical, which means that it’s basically a bunch of songs thrown…See More
Lily Hammer's blog post was featuredMillion Dollar Quartet: Not-so-awe-inspiring acting.
It’s that heart pounding, gut-wrenching, mind blowing music you hear. It’s loud and raw, and makes you want to dance. Or it’s soft and honest, reminding you of your hometown. Usually, you’d experience these things at something called a concert—not a Broadway musical. Million Dollar Quartet is jukebox musical that tends to come off as a rockabilly-country-folk concert. The show is set at Sun Records studio in Memphis, Tennessee. Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Elvis Presley are…See More

An ode to Drag (Priscilla, Queen of the Desert)
Glitter and pink,
Feathers and lights,
Oh what do you think,
Could be on this night?
What else but a drag show?!
The wigs are a plenty.
The rhinestones, they glisten
And sparkle like pennies.
Once a movie,
And now put to stage
Priscilla’s a show
To last through the ages.
Somewhat of a cult crowd,
Enthusiastic, for sure.
Their ages varied,
With outfits…

Catch this poem If You Can
Frank Abagnale Junior,
A con man perhaps?
Left home at sixteen,
And forged many checks
A pilot once,
A doctor, then lawyer
His careers changed often,
Unknown to employers
A good-looking boy,
Charming in fashion
His falsetto, though wavered
Was truly impassioned
Frank’s girl Brenda
Had quite lovely pipes
Her song had me weeping
A love of the winsome…
