The musical tells the story of when Alex’s college boyfriend moved across the country and her Lola (grandmother) showed her a grocery bag filled with hundreds of love letters from Alex’s grandfather.
Alex shares how her Lola inspired not only the show but Alex’s love of musical theatre, her unique vocal approach to writing her one woman show, the development of the show, and the process of performing in the She NYC Arts Summer Theater Festival. Alexandra Palting is an actor and writer based in New York City. She is the performer, writer, lyricist and co-composer of 0874: A Filipino-American Love Story, a one-woman musical that tells the story of her grandparents’ courtship and immigration to the United States. The show premiered off-Broadway at the Connelly Theater during SheNYC Arts (Festival winner: Best Score) and was developed through The Kennedy Center’s Page-to-Stage residency. She has performed her music at venues including The Lincoln Theatre and Merriweather Post Pavilion and has sung at venues from the swing clubs of Baltimore to the Vatican. Favorite acting credits include CATF, Olney Theatre Center, Imagination Stage, Chesapeake Shakespeare Company, The Keegan Theatre, InterAct Theatre Co. and Shakespeare in Clark Park. Her on-camera work can be seen on "Law and Order," in independent films, and in productions for clients like Apple, the NIH, and Home Depot.

As a producer, she has raised over $60,000 for arts organizations that champion diverse voices and for nonprofits like Feeding America and RAINN that provided direct aid to vulnerable populations throughout the pandemic.

New Book Alert - Out For Blood: A Cultural History of Carrie the Musical In 1988, following the success of its production of Les Misérables and in the wake of the commercial success of mega-musicals such as Cats, Phantom of the Opera and Chess, the Royal Shakespeare Company agreed to co-produce a musical based on Stephen King's Carrie, written by the team behind Fame. The result was one of Broadway's most infamous disasters. Plagued by technical problems, on-stage chaos and a critical savaging, Carrie would soon become the by-word for musical theatre flops. But thanks to the efforts of a vocal army of fans and the impact of bootleg trading and emerging online communities, the show reinvented itself as a mainstream success story with thousands of productions worldwide. Featuring contributions from over eighty original cast members, creatives, crew and audience members, Out For Blood pieces together the surprising, hilarious and often-moving inside story of Carrie The Musical to discover how this 'horror of a Broadway musical' lived, died and was subsequently resurrected as a mainstream success story. Available via Amazon and Bookshop.org. ?♀️ The Little Mermaid

9th Cancerversary
Sunday, July 23rd, will be 9 years since I was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. The survival rate for this disease beyond 5 years is just over 25%. Needless to say, I am *very lucky* to be here. Although the treatment saved my life, there was a long stretch where I was immune-compromised and unable to ride the subway, eat takeout, or do my favorite thing in the world, go to live theatre. During that incredibly difficult time, I started Filmed Live Musicals. I’m proud that I’ve since created a database of over 180 musicals (with a back catalog of nearly 400 more), interviewed nearly 70 industry professionals about the making of filmed stage musicals on the podcast, and sent out over 180 newsletters featuring hundreds of upcoming musicals! I’m excited to share that Filmed Live Musicals was recently accepted for fiscal sponsorship by The Field. This means that folks in the US will soon be able to make tax deductible donations to continue the work of cataloging filmed staged musicals and the curation of one easy place to find them all. Watch this space! If you’re outside the U.S., or would like to make a one-off or regular donation, you can do so here. I can’t think of a better way to be celebrating my 9th cancerversary than to be in-attendance at BroadwayCon in New York City! You can bet I will be at the panels on podcast musicals, livestream and captures and proshots, musicals and mental health, and the world premier screening of Between the Lines: A New Musical with Jodi Picoult!
RENT in Concert: Symphonic World Premier
I’m also very excited to be attending the world premier of RENT performed with a symphony orchestra at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC next weekend! Keeping my fingers and toes crossed the concert will be filmed and made available to a wider audience. Directed by Sammi Cannold, the cast includes Jimmie Herrod (Angel), Myes Frost (Benny), Jordan Donica (Collins), Awa Sal Secka (Joanne), Andrew Barth Feldman (Mark), Ali Stroker (Maureen), Lorna Courtney (Mimi), and Alex Boniello (Roger). I loved Ali Stroker’s performance as Ado Annie in the most recent Broadway revival of Oklahoma! (I also very much enjoyed the intermission corn bread), and it would be amazing to see more representation of people with visible disabilities on the Broadway stage. New Streaming Platform: ReelAbilities Stream The ReelAbilities Film Festival, an organization dedicated to promoting accessibility and inclusion that presents awards to films by and about people with disabilities.

Oklahoma! on TV in 1951 I’ve been reading through the incredible tome The Letters of Oscar Hammerstein II, edited and compiled by Mark Eden Horowitz, and nearly fell out of my seat when I came across a letter detailing the live television transmission of a performance of Oklahoma! in Berlin in 1951. I’m investigating whether or not the footage still exists but the surface level digging I’ve done thus far is proving fascinating. I can’t wait to share more soon! The Artist in the Open Jar: Susan Stroman, John Kander, David Thompson, Sharon Washington Open Jar Studios in NYC hosted a panel with the creative team of the new Kander and Ebb musical New York, New York.

Their superb harmonies are backed by instrumental virtuosity on the guitar, five-string banjo, ukulele, mandolin, cello-banjo, and many other instruments. Their eclectic repertoire includes classic country to western swing, Django style jazz to old-time stringband and bluegrass, contemporary folk and original gems.
