Posted: 3/29/13 at 11:33amHey there. I'm an Editor here at BWW, and I've been asked to sing at an upcoming event for a theater in my area. Since I'm theater critic, I think it would be fun to sing something that is about the press, about a writer or about language, or is, in some way, a review of something or someone. Any ideas? Keep in mind that I'm not a great singer and haven't performed in 10 years. Any ideas would be welcome!

Marc Shaiman wrote a song called 'The Queens Behind The Scenes' which is about gay writers.
Or maybe 'Show Me' from MFL... That could be a funny twist.
