Sewers of Paris: You Can be Sad or You Can be Gay (Ep 370 - Guy Branum)
Fifty-eight years ago this weekend, the musical Hello Dolly opened on Broadway — and this week we’re diving into the Sewers archive for a chat with Guy Branum about why, for him, the show encapsulates all the greatest joyful aspects of being gay.

The Anthony Perkins SNL has a great sketch where Tony mashes up his roles in "Equus" and "Hello Dolly" to play a sort of strange musical therapist. It's delightfully daft, and he and Jane Curtain are wonderful together!
I listened to the entire episode, while I was cleaning the theatre of which I’m the Facilities Manager. I was entranced! Guy so eloquently described the common efforts in which we try to fit in, & ultimately fail. It’s only when we #bevisiblepresentproud that we can truly be ourselves. ❤️
If you like that, you should check out Guy's book! It's called "My Life as a Goddess." He really is fantastic.
