holy fuck! NMH as high school musical

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is considered by many to be one of the most amazing and beautiful albums ever made. Jef Mangum's fever dream/ode to anne frank, the holocaust, and his personal take on religion is arresting and can dominate ones life and listening habits upon first listen. amanda palmer (dresden dolls-blechhh) together with her high school drama teacher and his drama dept at lexington high school in the boston area wrote and produced an ensemble piece based on the album. here is a recording of a performance of "With the Needle that Sings in her Heart". It starts with a weird vaudevillian intro unrelated to the story.
