Taylor the Latte Boy

Posted: 4/17/05 at 9:21pm

I saw Kristen this morning on Breakfast with the Arts. I only caught the tail end when she sang this song. I've read a very little bit about it on some other threads but I was wondering if anybody could explain exactly where this song came from and why it's become her signature?

I personally thought it was stupid.

It's been a cabaret staple for years. She's just the first big-name person to really do it a lot.

it was written by zina goldrich... i think the song is brilliant. kristin has sort of made it her signature song. it's not from any show or anything.

Susan Egan was doing it before Chenoweth.

It was originally from a workshopped show by Marcy and Zina
I think the first time Kristin sang it was for her YAGMCB audition

I love that song and I've heard it performed several times. In my opinion, nobody does it like Kristin.

I love John Tartaglia's version much more than Kristen's...

If I buy Kristin's new cd, it will be for this song.

I do ADORE Susan Egan singing the song -- SO funny. "..and thank you for the extra foam. And he said his name was Taylor, which provides the inspiration for this.... p-oam." =)

I can just SEE John Tartaglia singing it...I'm sure he does a great rendition!

He does it at his AD-Liberty shows
He has one of his backup boys dressed in the green apron and sings it to him
I'll try to find a picture...

AHA! I found it!

Rod's Turn is AMAZING and luckily you can hear it on BWW radio
But yeah, when Johnny makes his first album, Taylor better be on it

Thanks so much for that picture, broadwaystar2b! It's too adorable. =)

And Corine, I second that, Rod's Turn is ingenious! =)

I want to own Rod's Turn.
I also wish he would perform it again. It was in his show at the Ars Nova. The one I could not get a ticket for. He never put it into his show at Joe's and I went to see that!
Hope he can introduce Rod's Turn again.
If anyone speaks to Tags please tell him.
Thank you.
