Is
it possible to make show tunes and standards even more gay? Brad
Hampton does so with his new collection. Hampton sings these "women's
songs", pronouns intact, in a clear, emotional male tenor.
With
songs that range from familiar Sondheim, Harburg and Lerner to lesser-known
pieces by Jason Robert Brown and William Finn, Hampton uses his warm
voice to draw in his audience. He knows how to characterize a
song and give it a dramatic life of its own.
An eclectic mix of show-stopping songs,
'Shameless' cuts through the dross of musical theatre to deliver a humorously
gender-bent, emotionally charged, and curiously nostalgic repertoire
that tells the uplifting, tragic, and comic stories of queer romance.
