Who were the lyrics in the Broadway musical where Lena Hall played Nicola by?
Lena Hall Lena Hall (Celina Consuela Gabriella Carvajal) (born January 30, 1980) is an American actress, singer and songwriter. She is known for being the lead singer of the Rock band "The Deafening" and for her work on Broadway, including originating the role of Nicola in "Kinky Boots" and her Tony Award-winning performance as Yitzhak in the 2014 revival of "Hedwig and the Angry Inch", which also earned her a Grammy nomination for the musical's official album. She made history by becoming the first person to play both Hedwig and Yitzhak in the same production during the national tour of the musical in 2016.
Oom-Pah-Pah "Oom-Pah-Pah" is a lively and somewhat risqué show tune with music and lyrics by Lionel Bart and appearing in the musical "Oliver!", when it is sung by Nancy and the crowd at the "Three Cripples" tavern. The word "oom-pah-pah" is seemingly used euphemistically to refer to both intoxication and fornication; however, as the song points out, the word's meaning is only as dirty as the listener interprets it. Although not an original music hall song, it recalls that genre well and, in terms of both its tempo and suggestiveness, shares characteristics with such late 19th century songs as "Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay".
