Katy Perry and Lady Gaga Are Top Muses for Lysistrata Jones Composer Lewis Flinn

Lysistrata Jones composer Lewis Flinn shares some surprising influences in this Behind the Music video. Flinn lists Katy Perry and Lady Gaga among his inspirations for the pop-tinged score about cheerleaders refusing to bed their basketball player boyfriends until the college team starts scoring. The show, which Flinn co-wrote with his partner Douglas Carter Beane, is based (very) loosely on the Aristophanes comedy and offers up a bright mix of spunky dance numbers and high-powered anthems.
