Rachel Bloom's one -woman revue Death, Let Me Do My Show is a two -hander when a heckler interrupts her opening number.
Bloom also suffered the death of her close friend and frequent collaborator, songwriter Adam Schlesinger , from complications due to COVID-19 .
Bloom: "I really was prepping a different show in 2018 , 2019 , when I thought about that show after everything in my life happened".
The show is about: How do you deal with personal and also existential trauma, but still be able to laugh about cum? It's a miracle that Crazy Ex-Girlfriend stayed on the air for four seasons , despite being the lowest-rated show on network TV.
I think we hit at the right time. That might have been the only period in history where that could have happened.
Death, Let Me Do My Special was in some ways an exploration of who am I as a songwriter now that Adam ’s gone.
I like to say I’m a lyricist with a capital L, composer with a small C. No one, no singular person is going to replace Adam , because he could do everything.
