In Concert at Benaroya Hall NINE Book by ARTHUR KOPIT Music and Lyrics by MAURY YESTON Adapted from the Italian by MARIO FRATTI Based on Fellini’s 8½ MARCH 28 & 29, 2015 ILLSLEY BALL NORDSTROM RECITAL HALL AT BENAROYA HALL 200 University Street, Seattle, WA 98111 Director’s Note Before I start... let me just say that Jose Gonzales and Christian West are fabulous as Guido Contini and Young Guido... that said... In the world of musical theatre where 75% of the casting is focused on male characters, it is such a pleasure to be able to present a musical treasure like NINE, where 10 of the 12 characters are strong, capable, charismatic women. NINE For that reason, Maury Yeston’s brilliant score and lyrics are truly unique with female voices being the structure of the show. But as amazing as Yeston’s songs Book by ARTHUR KOPIT are, what makes the show unforgettable, are the performances... and this all-star Music and Lyrics by MAURY YESTON cast of exceptionally talented actors and singers will show you why. Adapted from the Italian by MARIO FRATTI It’s been over 30 years since a production of NINE has been produced in Seattle. Based on Fellini’s 8½ High time we got to hear this show again! Thank you Showtunes! NINE is presented by special arrangement with SAMUEL FRENCH, INC. So sit back... turn back the clock to 1963... and imagine yourself in beautiful THE CAST Venice, Italy...

Reviews Keith Loria, on theatermania.com, called the show “a tender glimpse into the Hineses’ rise to fame and a touching tribute to a brother.” Benjamin Tomchik wrote in Broadway World, that the show “seems determined not only to love the audience, but to entertain them, and it succeeds at doing just that! While Tappin' Thru Life does have some flaws, it's hard to find anyone who isn't won over by Hines showmanship, humor, timing and above all else, talent.” In The Washington Post, Nelson Pressley wrote, “’Tappin’ is basically a breezy, personable concert. The show doesn’t flinch from hard-core nostalgia; the heart-on-his-sleeve Hines is too sentimental for that. It’s frankly schmaltzy, and it’s barely written — it zips through selected moments of Hines’s life, creating a mood more than telling a story. it’s a pleasure to be in the company of a shameless, ebullient vaudeville heart.” Maurice Hines Is .

    Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts

    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

    54 Acta Academica • 2015 47(2): 54-71 © UV/UFS • ISSN 0587-2405 <http://www.ufs.ac.za/ActaAcademica> Elvis Presley in the South African musical imaginary Harry Sewlall Prof H Sewlall, University of Venda, Private Bag X5050, Thohoyandor 0950; email: [email protected] First submission: 20 June 2014 Acceptance date: 2 June 2015 This paper derives its impetus from a question an elderly American woman once asked me: “Do people in South Africa know Elvis?” “Of course we South Africans know Elvis!” I replied. Or do we, really? Using a historiographic approach, this paper is an attempt to explore how Elvis Presley’s image was first imported into South Africa, especially during the Apartheid era when there was no television and media censorship was a fact of daily life. Additionally, this essay will reflect on the impact of the media – then and now – in creating images, fantasies and illusions in constituting the subjectivity of the Elvis of real life and the Elvis of sound, stage and celluloid in the South African musical imaginary. Harry Sewlall / Elvis Presley in the South African musical imaginary 55 1. Introduction: postmodern technologies and the marketing of Elvis’s image This paper has its genesis in my encounter with an elderly American couple on my first visit to Graceland, the home of Elvis Presley in Memphis, Tennessee in 2002 – the 25th anniversary of the death of the singer. Graceland, incidentally, was opened to the public on June 7, 1982 and on March 27, 2006 was declared a National Historic Landmark (Graceland). According to this online source, Graceland is said to be the second most visited edifice in the USA after the White House.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Lady Blue Eyes My Life with Frank by Barbara Sinatra Frank Sinatra's Widow on Man Behind the Legend: 'Big Tipper. Romantic Husband'. Frank Sinatra's last wife, Barbara, discusses the couple's 22-year marriage. Frank Sinatra's Home Life Revealed in New Book. May 31, 2011— -- Frank Sinatra's last wife, Barbara Marx Sinatra, reveals details of the couple's 22-year marriage in her memoir, "Lady Blue Eyes." In the book, Barbara Marx Sinatra describes a homey side of the music legend -- a man who was extremely neat, a great cook, a voracious reader and a crossword puzzle ace. On their evenings out, she witnessed his state of the art tipping. "He'd walk into a restaurant with a stack of one hundred dollar bills," she recalls. "And say, 'Make sure to take care of all the busboys, not the waiters, the busboys. and everyone in the kitchen.'" Read an excerpt from "Lady Blue Eyes" below, then check out some other books in the "GMA" library. Prologue: A Very Good Year. The year I married Frank Sinatra was a very good year. It was 1976, but it had taken us five years of flirting and courting to finally say "I do." It probably took another year before I grew accustomed to the idea that I now carried his iconic name. At first, I'd almost whisper when booking a restaurant reservation or beauty parlor appointment. Even to say "Mrs. Sinatra" out loud felt like bragging. For a long time I had to pinch myself almost daily to believe that I, Barbara Ann Blakeley, the gangly kid in pigtails from the whistle-stop of Bosworth, Missouri, had somehow become the wife of Francis Albert Sinatra.
