S2 E2: Lyricist Bill Augustin talks Into the Woods and adapting But I'm a Cheerleader

May 11, 2023

 
In this episode, Anthony sits down with lyricist Bill Augustin, whose 2005 musical adaptation of the Y2K queer film classic But I'm a Cheerleader took London's West End by storm when it was revived in 2022. The two discuss the unparalleled brilliance of musical theater legend Stephen Sondheim and the beloved original cast recording of Into the Woods. The play has two very distinct acts, one ethereal and light and one menacing and crepuscular so it only seemed fitting to pair the album with two wines. The first is a rosé by Schrammel, an unfiltered pet-nat by the eponymous husband and wife micro-producer, and the second, Tzum Feis, a syrah-predominant Oregon field blend by winemaker Nate Ready of Hiyu wines.
