I would love for one thing to come back into the popular culture scene: musical comedy. I don’t mean musicals that are funny. I am talking about classic performers and true entertainers. Remember the celebrities who could act, sing, dance, and be funny? Thanks to a great background shaped by my grandmother, I grew up enjoying a concert pianist named Victor Borge. He could play a mean Libestraum while making a great joke – and all while dressed in coat tails. A gold mine of old-school performers can still be enjoyed between box sets, streaming services, and good old YouTube. With a generation of online influencers, many of those in the spotlight are known for one talent or one subsection of the entire industry. But what’s not to love about getting a little bit of everything out of one guy?
