"Lyons is not only the warm and affable host of one of the Scenesaver Theater Clubs.
She's also the curator of Filmed Live Musicals, a trove of currently (and legally) available filmed musicals as well as an accompanying podcast and weekly Thursday newsletter (free) in which she provides a comprehensive overview of currently available streaming options involving musicals (including, incredibly, virtually available high school productions; how she finds time to suss these out and profile them is beyond me). A native Australian who now lives in New Jersey after having also lived in Britain, Lyons brings a comprehensive, informed, and distinctly internationalist perspective to her selections and assessments.
​Bottom line: Lyons loves and knows musicals (she's also an accomplished vocalist). What's not to like?"
