“You’re special fascination'll, prove to be inspirational, we think you're just sensational, Mame!” In the third and final episode of “The Summer Stock Series,” Kristen and Sarah Goodman chat about their favorite Jerry Herman musical which has been a Summer Stock staple for decades. They first were exposed to the marvel of MAME in 1993 at a regional theater near Chicago where their mom starred in the role of Vera Charles. Thirty years later, these showbiz siblings went to TOFT at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts to watch the 1999 Papermill Playhouse production starring Christine Ebersole. Does this show get the Goodman siblings’ GOOD SHOW stamp of approval? Does this show shock us with some unnecessary racist set dressing? Do we need a little Christmas? Open a new window, listen to a new podcast, and find out today!
This summer, Kristen and Sarah went home to Chicago to visit their family in Chicago to talk about the Theatre at the Center and share memories from when our Mom starred in MAME. Our chat includes our mom, Jenny Giocomo, step-dad Gary Giocomo, and little sister, Gaby Giocomo.

CONTENT WARNING / SPOILER ALERT: You probably wouldn’t think that an episode about this classic Rodgers & Hammerstein musical would require a trigger warning, but if you saw the 2019 Broadway Revival of OKLAHOMA! at Circle in the Square, then you know why this episode discusses gun violence. When showbiz siblings, Kristen and Sarah Goodman, went to TOFT to watch what was referred to as the “Sexy Oklahoma,” they were expecting to see a nostalgic show from their childhood, not a dark and creepy “Bloody, Bloody Oklahoma!” In this second episode of the “The Summer Stock Series,” Kristen and Sarah go off about why they disagree with a lot of the strong choices made in this revival. “People will say we’re in love” with disliking this production, but I can’t get those blood-splattered faces “out of my dreams!”

“It only takes a moment” to fall in love with this classic musical all over again. In the premier episode of “The Summer Stock Series,” showbiz siblings, Kristen and Sarah Goodman, celebrate one of their favorite Broadway shows of all time: HELLO, DOLLY! They were first charmed by the Jerry Herman magic in the Summer of 1993 when their mom, Jenny Giocomo, starred in the role of Irene Molloy at a Chicago-area regional theater called Theatre at the Center. Their step-dad, Gary Giocomo was the artistic director. This summer, Kristen and Sarah went home to Chicago to record a conversation with their mom, step-dad, and little sister Gaby Giocomo (also a theatre kid and current playwright) about their memories from that season thirty years ago.
Kristen and Sarah visited the New York Performing Arts Library’s Theater on Film and Tape Archive to watch the 2017 Broadway Revival starring Bernadette Peters. They gush about all the wonderful things in this “joy bomb” of a production, and they chat with their very special guest- Broadway star and Tony-nominated actor- the lovely and talented Kate Baldwin.

“Pull out the stops! It’s Today!” Showbiz siblings, Kristen and Sarah Goodman, take a deep dive into their favorite Broadway shows at the Theater on Film and Tape Archive (TOFT) at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts. These two queer theater kids grew up surrounded by entertainment, and now they’re roommates in New York City, living out their dreams as theater-makers, performers, and creative consultants. Join them as they journey through the Musical Theater canon, celebrating the good shows that shaped them. Their first series, The Summer Stock Series, celebrates three classic mid century musicals: Hello Dolly!, Oklahoma!, and Mame. These are shows that truly shaped Kristen and Sarah.

Their mom, Jenny Giocomo, starred in these three shows which were directed and choreographed by their step-dad, Gary Giocomo, in the Summer of 1993. 30 years later, they are revisiting these shows by watching productions at TOFT and taking a trip home to walk down memory lane.
