On September 24, 1926, Seattle celebrated the debut of this spectacular venue Twith a grand opening celebration that drew “one of the largest crowds ever assembled in downtown Seattle.” It is still very easy to see what all the fuss was about. With our majestic and authentic Chinese-inspired décor, and our warm and surprisingly intimate auditorium, The 5th has been a showstopper from that first day. This theater was built to showcase the most popular musical theater of that era — Vaudeville. There were many theaters in Seattle in the 1920s, but The 5th was quickly acclaimed as the most glamorous and inviting. By the end of the decade movies That has to wait untilPhase Two!

Let’s give them an Edwardian toy theater!” So, the idea actually came from them. A Well, in the beginning, several friends and agents told me about it; people seemed to think I was the right person for the show. And And then we had a lot of fun with the projections.

I just wanted to talk to you about the whole process of putting Gentleman’s Guide up on Broadway and winning the Tony Award. How did you two get involved with this piece? And how long ago was it? RF: Well, we met in the graduate musical theater writing program at NYU [in 1981]. We became friendly and we had threatened to work together for a long time. We were looking for something and we worked on another show for a while and then, Steve had seen this movie, Kind Hearts and Coronets, on TV… SL: I was in college. It was 1978 or ’79 and I wasn’t sleeping, so I turned on my black and white television and two or three channels in, there was this movie and I went, “Oh yeah, that’s Kind Hearts and Coronets; that’s one of my dad’s favorite films.” And I literally bolted upright in bed, smacked my forehead and said, “Oh my god, it’s a musical.” Now, I know that sounds incredibly ridiculous and hyperbolic and over- Q&A the-top dramatic, but it’s really what happened. And I tried to WITH STEVEN LUTVAK get the rights to the film several times and then finally did. And then we wrote Kind Hearts and Coronets, the musical. AND ROBERT FREEDMAN But, despite developing the show at Sundance, and winning the Kleban and Fred Ebb Awards, and having several successful readings, the rights holders didn’t allow you to proceed. SL: Kind Hearts and Coronets happens to be based on a novel that happens to be in the public domain. When we got into hot water with the film company, which rescinded its offer, we went back to the novel. RF: It’s called Israel Rank: The Autobiography of a Criminal [by Roy Horniman], which we had read, from the very beginning. And we decided to take out everything from our show which was in the film, but not in the novel – which left plenty because we had already made up a lot of stuff. And we hired a terrific copyright lawyer who vetted everything and gave us advice and we didn’t take any chances; we made sure that there was NOTHING from the film. And that turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Can you give me a sense of what that means? SL: We found a few nuggets in the novel that were interesting and helpful. And when we had to go back and rewrite the show, it was enormously freeing to us, actually, because we had not only to sidestep what we couldn’t use, but it freed us up to be wilder in our choices. RF: There are eight people who die in the movie and eight people who die in our show. But there are differences in the occupations and the personality profiles, the identities of the people that get killed. It wasn’t just who they were, but how they died. They’re all members of one family, but we couldn’t use anything from the movie that wasn’t in the novel. The murders in the novel were either not as dramatic or not funny and one was terribly tragic, in a way that you could never make comic. So, we just had fun making up new identities and new ways for them to die! It wasn’t just who they were, but how they died. Right before a production was scheduled in La Jolla in 2009, you were hit with a lawsuit from the movie’s rights-holders.

RF: That was really an awful time. The judge dismissed the case, outright, in March of 2011. SL: The judge said, in his decision, “ultimately the movie and the musical are two completely different iterations of the same underlying material. The movie plants its tongue firmly in its cheek and the musical sticks its tongue out.” Let’s talk about the show and the way you two put it together. Let’s talk about the appeal of this piece, because it’s a very, very funny show, but it also has an edge. You guys are constantly playing with the question of how to make sort of hateful people likeable; or hating somebody enough, but enjoying them enough, that you want to see them die in interesting ways! SL: Well, we were very careful about that; we need to make the D’Ysquiths all odious enough that you didn’t mind seeing them killed off. We needed to write Monty [the protagonist] sympathetically and we needed to cast Monty sympathetically. RF: I think there are certain things about his predicament in life that are inherently sympathetic and that anybody can identify with; he’s an underdog and, not only did he grow up poor, but he was denied the kind of life that he should have been born into and should’ve had. So he realizes this was all caused by this family that rejected his mother. I think there isn’t anyone who hasn’t fantasized about getting revenge. We also felt the way to help him be more sympathetic was to make sure all the people he killed were as loathsome as possible. And they’re all loathsome in different ways, but in kind of the same way, in their attitude toward the little people, and their arrogance, which is silly. They’re all silly people, too.

What all this discussion doesn’t include, and which you with this toy theater idea. The thing that we contributed is we mentioned, is that it’s funny! Steve and I had a tremendous thought it ought to be performed – and it was written to be this amount of fun writing it and we just wallowed in the language way, too – as if it were being performed in the time it takes place. of it and the attitude of it and the tone. We kept making sure And I think what Darko did is he not only did that, but through that we were keeping everything consistent in tone. And we just the use of projections, he found a way to make it modern at the cracked each other up writing lyrics. It wasn’t like he took one same time that it was clearly Edwardian; you sort of feel like song and I took another song, we really wrote them together. you’re in that time and place, but there’s a modern element to it.

We heard you when you told us what you want most when you walk through our doors. Below are some highlights of the capital improvements planned for this summer and next summer that will considerably enhance your theater-going experience.

PERMANENT ANNIVERSARY WALL

Artist renderings of the Next Stage improvements by Weaver Architects.

A NEW DIGITAL SOUND SYSTEM (SUMMER 2016) As Seattle’s premier home for musical theater, we know that clear music and sound are critical to the audience’s enjoyment and understanding of every production. Our current system was installed 36 years ago and uses analog technology which is no longer supported. A new digital sound system will reflect advances in sound technology and design and deliver clear, lush sound to every seat in the house.

REFRESHED LOBBY (SUMMER 2016) Our lobby carpeting (installed in 1980) has suffered the wear and tear of over 9 million patrons and poses a safety concern. The carpet will be replaced with new patterned carpet which replicates the original design from 1926.

EXPANDED RESTROOM FACILITIES (SUMMER 2017*) We are finalizing negotiations with the University of Washington to lease a portion of the old retail space adjacent to the south wall of the theater lobby. This will allow us to build a grand staircase down to a lower concourse that will house expanded restroom facilities. Our overall restroom capacity will increase by 16 women’s restrooms, four men’s restrooms, two ADA restrooms and one family restroom.

On May 20, 2016, 5th Avenue Theatre friends and supporters came together to celebrate the 5th at our 13th annual A Night at the 5th Gala, 5th Avenue Follies. Guests gathered at the beautiful Fairmont FOLLIES Olympic Hotel for dinner and a silent auction, then crossed the street to the theater for an entertaining program with special guest star Cheyenne Jackson and talented 5th Avenue favorites! A special performance from students who have participated in The 5th’s PROUDLY SPONSORED BY Education Programs was a wonderful highlight. The event was a huge success and with the support of our community, we were able to raise over $700,000 for The 5th’s Education and Outreach programs!
