How ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’s Songwriting Duo Cracked The Show’s Harry Belafonte-Style Calypso Song “Maybe Monica” – Sound & Screen

He’s making fun of Shy and his bride.”
Moore said the duo loved layering in veiled references to Baldwin’s hidden sexual orientation. “We come from the world of theater…[and we] throw in some theater

Jazz Tangcay Artisans EditorEverything about season 4 of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” was bigger, from the sets to the drama and, of course, the music.Returning songwriters Tom Mizer and Curtis Moore were tasked with creating a pastiche of sounds, including calypso, period-appropriate pop, a Broadway tune and several striptease numbers.The two worked with the show’s music supervisor Robin Urdang to soundtrack Midge’s (Rachel Brosnahan) career pivot, trading Greenwich Village coffeehouses for a Manhattan burlesque club.As Urdang explains: “We built upon the musical palette of the show using numerous hidden gems such as ‘Femininity’ from ‘Oh, Captain’ in the final dance sequence at the burlesque club.”In an extension of how the show uses music, Urdang says they also created Mandarin-language versions of American standards to use in the Button Club’s jukebox, along with original songs written by Mizer and Moore for the wedding of closeted singer Shy Baldwin.
