Today, George Clooney on his new film Jay Kelly, where he stars as a famous actor at a crossroads. Also, Oscar-winning costume designer Paul Taswell. He spent more than three decades shaping looks for the stage and screen, from the gritty revolutionaries of Hamilton to the vibrant world of Westside story. His journey to Wicked started from the moment he saw The Wizard of Oz and later. The whiz which he says rocked his world.
It was everything to see that kind of disco iconography, because I knew the Wizard of Oz, then to see it told in my cultural language was life-changing. And rock critic Ken Tucker has a roundup of some of this year's new. Christmas songs. I'm thinking, I'm thinking above a Merry My Christmas. That's coming up on Fresh Air Weekend.
