Dance Into Summer With ‘The Donna Summer Musical’

The biographical jukebox musical, which tell the life story of a famous musical artist or group using their well-known songs as a score, has become a relatively popular mini-genre in recent years. However, it isn’t actually one that I have terribly much experience with, since the aura of conventionality surrounding these shows isn’t typically one that attracts me.

Expect The Unexpected From Zoetic’s Unforgettable ‘Our Dear Dead Drug Lord’
