As previously mentioned, Speech! returns to the Rarig Thrust stage tonight at 5:30 after four days of blissful slumber. I hope you'll be there. Since last we talked, the CityPages gave us a very nice writeup. Spoiler alert, as usual.

Speaking of spoilers, I wanted to write up the music used in the show as a companion to the playlist I posted the other day. What follows will be self-indulgent, procedural, and full of spoilers, so don't read it until after you've seen the show. Seriously, go see our show before you read this. Go.


Again, SPOLIERS AHEAD.

Alright.

1. Opening monologues: The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter
2. Mary meets Angela: Ennio Morricone - Theme from Navajo Joe (starting :17 into this clip)
3. Kate & Doug train: Des'ree - You Gotta Be (see also)
4. The Booze Demon: Bernard Hermann - Vertigo Suite: The Nightmare (we used Esa-Pekka Salonen conducting the LA Philharmonic, not on Youtube. Here you can see the version from original movie)
5. Kate & Doug share a moment: Seal - Kiss From A Rose
6. Kate & Doug's final performance: Patrick Williams - Finale from The Cutting Edge*
7. Ending monologue and curtain call: Smashing Pumpkins - Today

* I would like to note, as a student of physics, that not only would the "Pamchenko" move be dangerous and difficult, but it's also physically impossible -- there's no way to get from the point A to point B they show in the movie. Incidentally, did you know there are not one, but two basic cable TV movie sequels to The Cutting Edge?
