Todd Alsup is a New York City–based pianist and singer-songwriter (and gay bear) who is sharing his love of the music of George Michael this summer with his exciting new show FREEDOM at Crown & Anchor In Provincetown. Queerguru has just interviewed James Gavin about his new biography on George Michael so it seemed natural to interview Todd too. And we are so glad we did
This summer he has turned his attention to another Brit queer singer/songwriter ELTON JOHN (That’s Sir Elton to you!) who has remarkably been making chart topping music over 50 years + writing the music for a few Broadway smash hit musical. on the side! Sir Elton has also been known. for his flamboyant outfits and behavior, but Todd has chosen to focus purely in the music in his UNSTRIPPED Show,
Also this summer he is delighting crowds with another show DONNA, DISCO + US,Miss Summer was the undisputed Queen of Disco in the 1970’s thanks to all her queer friends, and then we fell out of love with her when she was reported to have made some nasty homophobic remarks. Now most of us cannot remember exactly what went down, but regardless of that, the music that the late singer (she died of cancer in 2012) defined that generation and set every gay bar so alive.
Then it that is not enough this summer, Todd is also the musical director for VARLA JEAN MERMAN who is considered Drag Royalty in PTown . Her new show is called THE ERRORS TOUR …. and if you miss it this summer (shame on you) then they are literally taking it on the road this Fall .
Todd Alsup has an infectious sense of humor, but it his sheer anergy and passion that makes it such a joy to share time with.
