Why Twisted Is So Good
Here I analyze the Twisted with music by AJ Holmes, lyrics by Kaley McMahon, and book by Matt Lang, Nick Lang and Eric Kahn Gale and orchestrations by Andrew Fox. Check it out on YouTube here • Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizie... Other clips included: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 10 episode 6 "The Gang Misses the Boat" Hamlet (1996) dir. Kenneth Branagh West Side Story (1961) dir. Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street in Concert (2001) Darren Criss "Getting Married Today"-Broadway Backwards 2019 • Darren Criss "Getting Married Today" - Bro... *Note: I don't think that Sondheim's rules are the only correct way to write a musical. There are plenty of musicals that I love and think have genuinely good lyrics that I'm sure Sondheim would hate. But his advice is still very insightful and is an interesting way to analyze musicals. This is a video I've been working on for a while about Starkid and Stephen Sondheim. It's my first video that I made with my new mic. I'm still figuring out how to use it and how to record voice overs in general, so it's probably not perfect, but it's a lot better than the audio from my last video essay. I hope you enjoyed this. #starkid
