Intergalactic invaders arrive in the wild west to shake up life for a small western town. The cast features Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde and more. Cowboys & Aliens avoids the seemingly obvious camp direction and takes a somewhat serious approach to the material. We break it down to...

We thought long and hard about what musicals to add to this Revue. We're going to limit our options somewhat by sticking to the 80s through today, trying to hit a bit from the 80s, 2000s and 2010s. We're going to do some more camp, some traditional Broadway content and a recent, not-so-traditional film that's been classified as a musical. So, we hope you're excited as we finally get lyrical on t...
