ture . Also , every burlesque performer ’ s home is completely art-directed . They all are proud of their style and taste , so they dress up their apartments with odd colors , paint , wall-paper , posters , photographs , boas , jewelry , etc . It always looks amazing .

I also enjoyed the music which parallels the images perfectly . Who composed and performed the music ? The music is my favorite aspect of the movie . My good friend and colleague , Giancarlo Vulcano composed the vast score . He has composed for series like 30 Rock and Kimmy Schmidt , but he ’ s also a jazz guitarist and leads a great small band . I knew his sensibility would be perfect . When we finished mixing he said about the music : “ It sounds like we unearthed a recording from the 1940s .” I couldn ’ t agree more . And given that we are telling the story of burlesque being “ unearthed ” fairly recently , it makes sense that ’ s how the music turned out .

Are there any memorable stories while you made this film or any other info about your film you can relay to our readers ? No specific stories . But I will say I ’ m so glad this film is coming out this year . Even though it ’ s not a political film , I think it has resonance that it may not have had before . This film shows that these women are complex , strong , creative , and unique . I hope that stereotypes are shattered . I hope that audiences come away with a more nuanced perception of these women and these performers than they may have had before seeing the film . •
