Sean Altman's Jewmongous concert (and master class) at MIT was fun. I'd seen Sean Altman as part of Rockappella and briefly on Where in the World is Carmen San Diego, but not solo.

I was turned on to the concert first by a notice in the Globe for his concert the next night at Club Passim, which mentioned his song "They Tried to Kill Us (We Survived, Let’s Eat)." That got my attention. Then I saw the MIT events listing, which also listed a number of MIT a cappella groups performing, so I decided to try that.


It turns out the first half of the show was actually a master class with each of the groups performing a song and then getting comments from Sean Altman. It was fun to hear just a bit from each group and to hear Sean's comments.


Sean's songs were clever and fun, and he clearly relishes clowning around with them. Yay!
