War Is Good For Musical Theatre? with Composer and Lyricist Daniel Maté
Description
Host Orli Matlow welcomes the World’s Most Moral Podcast Guest, Daniel Maté, composer, lyricist, and co-host of Bad Habara: The World’s Most Moral Podcast. They talk politics in musical theatre and musical theatre in politics, from the pogroms of Fiddler on the Roof to Irving Berlin’s bloodlust in 1943’s This is The Army to the hate crime that is Miss Saigon. They go back to 1918 with public domain tunes and cover more recent musicals including Slam Frank. Spoiler alert for Ragtime—we can never go back to before.
Recorded October 8th, before the ceasefire in Gaza.
Theme music and editing by This Revolution Production Collective.
