The Blitz is Back! Win tickets for this Saturday's one-time-only show

Madison's original one-day theatre event is making its triumphant return, revamped and raring to go, this Saturday, June 23 at the Bartell Theatre downtown - and this time, it's musical.

"Blitz: The Musical" will hit the stage at 8:00 p.m. and brings a new twist to the 24-hours-from-page-to-stage format by requiring that each author incorporate local surf-rock outfit Venus In Furs into their short plays.

Veteran Blitz authors and actors will join forces with newbies to create this always incredible and raucous night of theatre that Dane101 is proud to sponsor. And we'll be giving away a pair of tickets to see the show to a lucky winner every day this week!

If you'd like to win today's pair of tickets to see "Blitz: The Musical" just be the first to leave a comment with your full name and correctly answer the following question: Shakespeare's original/first theatre was just unearthed in London. What was it called?

Featured writers for this year's Blitz will be Christian Neuhaus, Buck Hakes, Matt Cibula, Matthew Schrader & Sarah Luedtke, Rob Matsushita, Doug Reed & Laszlo Danger Reed, and Megan Marsh-McGlone. Featured directors will be Monty Marsh-McGlone, Sam White, Steve Noll, Heather Renken, Greg Harris, Jess Evans, and Casey Grimm.

Specials guests the Divine Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence will be selling raffle tickets for a drawing at the end of the show for fabulous cash prizes! Madison's Peach Pies Caburlesque will be cocktailing during the show, and the lobby bar and the mezzanine bar will both be open throughout the show. All proceeds from drink sales go directly to supporting the Bartell Theatre.

Blitz has a good story. I really impress with your article content. I hope to hear more of this musical story. Excellent post!

I developed a liking for the score of this little known and little seen show. There are some delightful numbers, but many of the voices do sound untrained. However, maybe that was what Lionel Bart, who wrote and directed the show, was looking for.

Alas! I had won a ticket for sure it was great and wonderful. I hope next time I will win and watch this musical theater.

This is a little known masterpiece of British Musical Theatre by the composer of Oliver. Those of you who think Lionel Bart was a one-trick pony should take a listen to this gem. This music causes you to tap your feet as you listen and whistle the music once the album ends.

Blitz! is a musical by Lionel Bart. I had such fun listening to it and the songs, dances and effects are still stuck in my head. It's a shame more people don't perform it as it truly is a fantastic Musical.

Blitz! is the 1962 musical from the British musical genius Lionel Bart. This is a rousing show of wit and melody. Not as well known to us Americans, as to the Brits who recall the days of WWII and the Blitz.

Blitz is the stories of two families in London during the vicious bombings of WWII. Filled with many splendid musical numbers and a gripping plot, BLITZ! ran for close to two years in the West End.

It's nice to see this CD finally re-mastered and reissued. Blitz! was Lionel Bart's follow-up to Oliver! It ran in London for 568 performances and has since largely been forgotten except for occasional amateur productions. This is a shame because it is a tuneful musical and very evocative of the blitz era and the people living through it.

The book of Venus in Furs is the height of fun sex stuff and strange, twisted relationships. It's a pure exploration of "feels and fantasy." It fits nicely beside other books I place beside it. This book is frankly adorable!

I've loved this show ever since I played Georgie Locke in an amateur production back in 2003. The songs are really good and its a really good story as well. It's a shame its never been revived in the West End.

It seems probable that the musical will never come to the USA because the subject matter is peculiary British, so this album is our only chance to enjoy the excellent music. Some of the songs are sung with definite British accents, but, instead of being off putting, it is engaging.

I'd never even heard of Blitz until recently. The leading lady in this recording sounds like a female Fagin cum Shylock. I rate Blitz as barely second rank; it's no wonder it's not performed often.

Blitz! is set during the air raids of the Second World War in London. Voices of real people who sound like they were living during the Blitz. Even the star of the show does not always sound great, but she certainly comes across vividly.

This re-master brings out the clarity of the 1962 recording which is lost in my scratchy vinyl and background noise is very slight. The stereo imaging and reverberation are very typical of the 1960's but the score is excellent. Performances are uniformly good too, especially from Amelia Bayntun as the central character, Mrs Blitztein.

Venus in Furs is elegant, but doesn't engage the reader in the 19th century weirdeness of the book in the same way its contemporary translators managed to do. I found Venus in Furs to be romantic, erotic and very well-written. It is a literary classic that will speak to men with masochistic and submissive desires for centuries to come.

Venus in Furs is one of the most spiritual works of erotica I've ever read. Much has been made of its perversity, to the extent that the name of its author is also the name of a psycho-sexual disfunction.

I was excited to see this by the reputation and the American title and all I saw was fifteen minutes of good film and then a bunch of stock footage,nonsensical dialogue, and BS plot development. I needed more dungeon scenes or more masochism, and less stock-footage/VO mental masturbation.
