Making her cabaret debut, Malone will salute 14 of her favorite Broadway actresses who have been an influence on her during her musical theatre career. The audience will hear selections made famous by Fanny Brice, Carol Burnett, Betty Buckley, Carol Channing, Judy Holliday, Angela Lansbury, Patti LuPone, Mary Martin, Ethel Merman, Liza Minnelli, Bernadette Peters, Barbra Streisand, Elaine Stritch, and Nancy Walker. On making her cabaret debut: “The idea of putting together an original cabaret act where you’re standing on stage for ninety minutes straight has always sounded daunting to me,” Malone said. “I’ve had the idea for this particular cabaret format for a few years. I felt the time was right to challenge myself, and I couldn’t be more proud to debut this cabaret on the very stage that offered me my first musical theatre experience as a nine-year-old in the Moonlight’s very first musical Oliver! directed by Kathy Brombacher.” Malone can relate to the fact that the leading ladies she has chosen to celebrate are all attached to iconic comedic roles. “I learned at a very young age that getting laughs is golden,” she said.

  • Cole Albert Porter (June 9, 1891 October 15, 1964) Was An
    Cole Albert Porter (June 9, 1891 October 15, 1964) was an American composer and songwriter. Born to a wealthy family in Indiana, he defied the wishes of his dom ineering grandfather and took up music as a profession. Classically trained, he was drawn towards musical theatre. After a slow start, he began to achieve succe ss in the 1920s, and by the 1930s he was one of the major songwriters for the Br oadway musical stage. Unlike many successful Broadway composers, Porter wrote th e lyrics as well as the music for his songs. After a serious horseback riding accident in 1937, Porter was left disabled and in constant pain, but he continued to work. His shows of the early 1940s did not contain the lasting hits of his best work of the 1920s and 30s, but in 1948 he made a triumphant comeback with his most successful musical, Kiss Me, Kate. It w on the first Tony Award for Best Musical. Porter's other musicals include Fifty Million Frenchmen, DuBarry Was a Lady, Any thing Goes, Can-Can and Silk Stockings. His numerous hit songs include "Night an d Day","Begin the Beguine", "I Get a Kick Out of You", "Well, Did You Evah!", "I 've Got You Under My Skin", "My Heart Belongs to Daddy" and "You're the Top". He also composed scores for films from the 1930s to the 1950s, including Born to D ance (1936), which featured the song "You'd Be So Easy to Love", Rosalie (1937), which featured "In the Still of the Night"; High Society (1956), which included "True Love"; and Les Girls (1957).

  • Cole Porter Lesson Plan
    COLE PORTER Gay U.S. Composer (1893-1964) Cole Porter remains one of America's all-time greatest composers and songwriters – one of the few who wrote both the lyrics and the music. His hits include the musical comedies The Gay Divorce (1932), Anything Goes (1934), Panama Hattie (1939), Kiss Me, Kate (1948) and Can-Can (1952); and featured songs like "Night and Day", "I Get a Kick out of You", "I've Got You Under My Skin" and “Begin the Beguine.” He worked with legendary stars Fred Astaire, Ethel Merman, Fanny Brice, Judy Garland, Gene Kelly, Roy Rogers, Bing Crosby, Mary Martin and the Andrews Sisters; and is considered one of the principal contributors to The Great American Songbook. He married his close friend, socialite Linda Lee Thomas, in 1919 – a union that assured her social status while increasing his chances for success in his career. They lived a happy, publicly acceptable life, but Porter’s reputation as a regular fixture at some of underground Hollywood’s most notorious gay gatherings led to hushed rumors within upper-crust circles that threatened Thomas’s social standing. They separated in the early 1930s (but did not divorce) and remained close friends. In 1937 Porter was crippled when his legs were crushed in a riding accident. He was in the hospital for months, struggling against mental and physical decline, though he continued to write with some success for the next several years. But the death of his beloved mother in 1952, followed by his wife’s passing in 1954, and the amputation of his right leg in 1958, took its toll.

    The Great American Songbook Through the Lens of Judy Garland An Honors Thesis (MUSP 401) By Lindsey Stamper Thesis Advisor Dr. Jon Truitt Ball State University Muncie, Indiana December 2017 Expected Date of Graduation May 2018 0JpCo)} U ndc r.::J r c, a I he c 1 d. i'("; . ._ tJ c ( JP, Abstract r} ,..J... This thesis paper, as well as·the accompanying recital, delves into the topic of The Great American Songbook Through the Lens of Judy Garland. The Great American Songbook is a collection of American standard repertoire from the late nineteenth century to the middle of the twentieth. Judy Garland in particular is an exemplary performer of this period; her life parallels the troubles and careers of many other performers in this era. By exploring and performing songs that Garland performed during her career, this paper relates the history of American music to the life of the acclaimed Judy Garland. Acknowledgments I would like to thank Dr. Jon Truitt for the guidance, insight, advice, and training he has provided me with throughout this project and these past four years. His help with the many performance endeavors of my collegiate career has been invaluable. I would also like to thank my mom and dad for inspiring a curiosity and interest in music at a young age. Lastly, thank you to Julian for always listening with kind and encouraging ears. Process Analysis Statement Recitals, concerts, and cabarets are important events in a music educator's profession. These are the culmination of unseen efforts rehearsing music, planning logistics, and organizing personnel.

  • HELLO DOLLY Program Notes.Pdf
    ` PROGRAM NOTES By Joshua S. Ritter Goodspeed Education & Library Director When Hello, Dolly! opened on Broadway in January of 1964, the nation was still reeling from the shock of President Kennedy’s assassination and apprehensive about the worsening situation in Vietnam. The Beatles invasion had just begun; a youthful fervor for change and rock ‘n’ roll was palpable. David Merrick, a preternaturally gifted producer, could sense the longing of another American generation. He undoubtedly knew the time was right to provide the comfort and nostalgia of a good old-fashioned Broadway musical. After all, he was in possession of a successful theatrical property that was screaming to be set to music. It could also serve as a star vehicle for Ethel Merman, and it contained a 1890’s period flavor that would offer much-needed diversion from current events. Merrick began assembling a team of future Broadway legends to give music and new life to Thorton Wilder’s highly-successful play The Matchmaker. The title would quickly change to Dolly! A Damned Exasperating Woman; Call on Dolly; and finally to Hello, Dolly!. Merrick hired Gower Champion and Michael Stewart, with whom he had previously worked on Carnival!, to stage and adapt the book for what would later be called Hello, Dolly!. Merrick hired the young Jerry Herman to compose the music soon after his success penning the score for his first Broadway musical, Milk and Honey. Champion, Stewart, and Herman worked together to anchor the show to the title song and “Put on your Sunday Clothes.” These became massive production numbers, the former involving whirling waiters, trays of food, and Dolly Levi’s grand descent down a flight of stairs.
