Musician, producer, and just-about-Broadway songwriter Gary Clark<\/a> checks in from Scotland to talk about the musical of Sing Street<\/a> (he wrote the songs, based on the movie<\/a>) and how its Broadway debut has been postponed by the pandemic. We get into the recent charity livestream of Sing Street<\/a>, what he’s learned from the process of working on a musical and how that’s feeding into his next project, the Emma Thompson-led musical of Nanny McPhee<\/em>, the dire prospects for clubs and theaters hurt by the quarantine, the importance of having routines and rhythms for work and life, the pros and cons of streaming music, practicing Transcendental Meditation, having to rewrite the Nanny McPhee<\/em> song “Plague, Rickets, Scurvy & Spleen” in light of This Whole Situation, and (of course I had to ask) the (non-)prospects of a virtual Danny Wilson<\/a> reunion. Give it a listen!<\/a> And go follow Sing Street: The Musical<\/a>!<\/p>\n
