SIDE by SIDE by SONDHEIM Is Presented Through Special Arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI) Music & Lyrics By Stephen Sondheim Leonard Bernstein, Mary Rodgers Richard Rodgers & Julie Styne September 25 - October 5, 2014 A Message from the Artistic Director Every September for the past 13 years, I have sat down at my computer to write a message for the beginning of a new season. Today as I begin the process again, I reflect back to our very first show that opened on Septem- ber 20th, 2001. That was nine days after our world changed on 9/11. Since then there have been many changes in our world and in our individual lives. The focus of this message takes a little different tone than just touting a wonderful new season of shows. Being in a reflective mode, I want to pay tribute to some of the wonderful people who gave so much to this venture, people who are no longer with us. Ralph Flanders was in our first show. He encouraged me from the very beginning and on many occasions was the voice of reason. My wonderful friends, Charles Walker and Dan Strickland ,were so instrumental in open- ing the theatre. For years their amazing talents made this little theatre sing with beautiful music and shine with magical sets. Mettelen Moore was the ultimate volunteer, who from the get-go was always willing to do anything to make sure the “show would go on.” Her cheery attitude and of course her knitting bag were a fixture in the lobby. I smile when I think of Shad Leach, who stepped in to fill giant shoes left by Charles Walker. I‘ll never forget the first time I met him and we went back stage. He looked at the rats’ nest of wiring and said, “Is this safe “ ? I quickly responded, “Probably not. But we’re not going to worry about today.” Of course this was a very “Scarlett” response. I also want to thank all of the dedicated volunteers, actors, musicians, directors, choreographers, designers, lighting and sound technicians past and present who have given and continue to give tirelessly of their time and talents. Why do they do it? There are things you do for money; there are things you do out of responsibility. And… there are things you do for the soul. This theatre is for the soul. A place where one might find a brief respite, a moment of laughter, an opportunity to be transported to another time and place. This theatre is for you and because of you. You fill the seats, you support us financially, and you complete the circle of this wonder- ful thing called “theatre “. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to tell the stories of our shared human experi- ence. Enjoy, Board of Directors Janice Aiken Susan Brigden Jean Brumagim Norma Richardson President David Clevenger Donnie Beall Robert Chauncey Board Chairman Virginia Church Joe McKaughan Marcia Collins Public Relations & Developmental Director Janet Prothro Marian Sorensen Janice Wallace Secretary In an effort to keep our theater looking its best, we ask that you please refrain from bringing anything other than bottled water into the auditorium. Special Thanks Brad Fowler and Camelot Theatre, Griffin Ballet Theatre, The Griffin Daily News, Betsy Harris, Rick Blackshear Photography, Gloria Stahr, Barb Panick, Taylor Beall, Atlanta Clinical Massage Therapy, Margaret Clemonds, Linda Walker, Nan Johnson, Nancy Beall, Nan Carley, WHIE and WKEU.

Its title is derived from the song “Side by Side by Side” from Company. The musical had its origins when David Kernan was asked by Cleo Laine and her husband John Dankworth to put together a revue as a benefit for The Stables, a theatre they owned in Wavendon. Kernan contacted direc- tor Ned Sherrin and suggested that they do a revue of Sondheim material. The producer Cameron Mackintosh saw the benefit revue, which featured Millicent Martin, Julia McKenzie, Kernan, and Ned Sherrin as the narrator, and agreed to produce it. The revue had its première on May 4, 1976, at London’s Mermaid Theatre, where it ran for 59 performances. It subsequently transferred to Wyndham’s Theatre and then the Garrick for a grand total of 806 perfor- mances. Ned Sherrin directed, but Sondheim also worked with the cast and made many suggestions. Hal Prince produced the Broadway version and persuaded Actors’ Equity Association to allow the original British cast to transfer with the show. The production, again directed by Sherrin, opened on April 18, 1977, at the Music Box Theatre and later transferred to the now-demolished Mo- rosco Theatre. Between the two venues, it ran for a total 384 performances and 6 previews. It is one of the few shows to have the distinction of its en- tire cast being nominated for Tony Awards (Best Featured Actor in a Musical and Best Featured Actress in a Musical). A subsequent 1978 U. S. national tour starred Millicent Martin, Larry Kert, Barbara Heuman, and Hermione Gingold as the Narrator. A London West End revival opened at the Venue Theatre on May 1, 2007, and closed June 23, 2007, after 62 performances and 4 previews. Biographies ADAM GRUBBS (Actor/Singer) is an accomplished stage performer, having played roles from one end of the musical theatre spectrum (Jesus in both Jesus Christ Superstar and Godspell) to the other (the Emcee in Cabaret, Mary Sunshine in Chicago). As of late, he focuses most of of his performing efforts on his cabaret stage act and is currently developing his next show (working title) “No Fame No Shame 3: No Fame, No Shame, No Show Tunes.” Look for it here at MSP in summer 2015. By day, he is employed at the Law Offices of G. Alan Dodson, LLC and also runs his own vocal coaching/voice lesson studio. For more information on that, email him at [email protected]. KELLY JACKSON (Actress/Singer) was last seen on this stage in Mama Won’t Fly and musically directed and was part of the amazing ensemble of Cotton Patch Gospel. Most recently, she played The Lady of the Lake in the Henry Players production of Spamalot. She has served as music director for Main Street Players for four years. She is currently the music specialist at Crabapple Lane Elementary in Peachtree City, operates a private piano studio, and has been involved in numerous theatrical productions as a director and performer. She is also a member of Griffin Choral Arts. She is honored to share the stage with such talented friends.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 12, 2016 Side by Side by Sondheim Stellar cast confirmed for a celebration of the music and lyrics of Stephen Sondheim! Jan. 27 – Feb. 19, 2017 at Spencer Theatre Kansas City, MO– Kansas City Repertory Theatre is pleased to announce the cast of this mid- season addition to its 2016/2017 season. Artistic Director Eric Rosen will direct a starry cast in the acclaimed musical revue Side by Side by Sondheim featuring actors Jenny Ashman, Shanna Jones, Orville Mendoza and Oliver Thornton. Nominated for both London’s Olivier Award and Broadway’s Tony Award for Best Musical, Side by Side by Sondheim celebrates the music and lyrics of Pulitzer-, Tony-, and Academy Award-winning composer Stephen Sondheim. Side by Side by Sondheim ran in London and New York for well over a thousand performances, making it one of the most successful musical revues of all time. In a glittering evening of music, comedy, and song, the star-studded cast will perform beloved numbers from such Broadway hits as Gypsy, West Side Story, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Anyone Can Whistle, Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, and Pacific Overtures. Featured songs include “Comedy Tonight,” “Broadway Baby,” “Anyone Can Whistle,” “A Boy Like That,” and the Grammy Award-winning favorite “Send in the Clowns,” to name a few. “KC Rep audiences love Sondheim – among our biggest hits of all time are Sunday in the Park with George, Into the Woods, and Company,” says Artistic Director Eric Rosen. Side by Side takes us back to Sondheim’s most prolific period, from when he was a young artist writing lyrics for Leonard Bernstein’s music in West Side Story to the triumphs of musicals like A Little Night Music that made him a legend.

  • Herbert Kretzmer, Who Has Died Aged XX, Was the Journalist and Lyricist
    HERBERT KRETZMER OBE 05.10.1925 – 14.10.2020 By Liz Lineham Herbert Kretzmer, who has died aged 95, was the South-African born British newspaper journalist, lyricist and critic known as ‘Mr Mis’ for his key role in transforming an obscure 1980 French “concept” album into the musical behemoth that is Les Misérables. It is without doubt the words that Kretzmer penned in English, when allied to the music of Claude-Michel Schönberg, that lit the fuse of a global phenomenon. The longest running musical in London’s West End (35 years and counting) and the third-longest on Broadway (16 years), it has enjoyed openings in every major city, been staged by more than 100 touring companies, and seen by upwards of 70 million people in 44 countries to date. Multi-award winning “Les Mis” – as its fans call it but never Kretzmer, who considered it disrespectful to Victor Hugo’s 19th century masterpiece - garnered 12 Tony nominations in 1987. It won 8, including Best Score (shared by Kretzmer, composer Schönberg and French lyricist Alain Boublil), and topped a 2005 British poll of Essential Musicals. Ranked in second place in the league of the world’s longest- running musicals (behind The Fantasticks with 42 years on Broadway) few would bet against it one day claiming the crown. In the last decade, a new generation has discovered its magic through the 2012 Oscar-winning film and box-office triumph directed by Tom Hooper. Susan Boyle’s interpretation of the quintessential torch song, I Dreamed a Dream, on Britain’s Got Talent in 2009 inspired many more to see the show.

EC: I’m interviewing Mr Anthony Verner, or Tony Verner, for the oral history project and I just want to start by asking you when you first started working in theatre and your experiences of the early days? AV: OK. Well I went to the Italia Conti Stage School in 1950, late 1950 and when you were at Conti’s there were special classes to get you ready to be in either Peter Pan or a children’s show called Where the Rainbow Ends which was on everything, every Christmas. So I went to auditions as a twelve year old (just about to be a thirteen year old) to be in Peter Pan - to play John in Peter Pan. He’s the one with the top hat - Wendy’s brother. EC: Wendy’s brother, yes. AV: And there are all these kids on stage and you gradually look around, and they sort of narrow you down, narrow you down until you look around and say, ‘Oh, you are going to play John’. So I got it - my first job. EC: That was your first audition. OK, so from that job then how did you progress further? AV: Well I was studying at Conti’s, so you did ordinary education in the mornings, which was slightly haphazard but good fun, with all these boy actors.
