"The Irish Musical"

Greetings from guest programmer Lisa Lambert. Twenty years ago tonight, on March 16, 1997 at the Rivoli in Toronto, comedy duo Brock & John released the video of their song "Spinal". Two weeks earlier, upon realizing the release would happen on St. Patrick's Day Eve, Brock & John and I challenged ourselves to write and present, in two weeks, an original St. Patrick's Day "Brock & John" musical. This is the result. It's a little bit "Finian's Rainbow", a little bit "Brigadoon", and a tad "Lost Horizon" (the 1973 movie musical version, of course).
Written by Brock Simpson, John Mitchell, and Lisa Lambert; musical direction by Ben Varadi; costume design by Christopher Richards.
Featuring Scott Anderson, Lisa Lambert, Bob Martin, John Mitchell, Brock Simpson, Janet Van De Graaff, and the late great Paul "Mutton Chops" O'Sullivan.
