  • James Armstrong Theatre Torrance, California February 3-11, 2012
    The Aerospace Players present Book and Lyrics by Alan J. Lerner Music by Frederick Loewe James Armstrong Theatre Torrance, California February 3-11, 2012 Director’s Note Thank you for attending The Aerospace Players’ production of Camelot! We’ve worked long and hard since October to bring this classic show to stage, and we are thrilled to perform it for you! Camelot was a show long in the making before it opened on Broadway on December 3, 1960. Besieged by numerous calamities, including a heart attack suffered by the director, Moss Hart, and an incredibly lengthy libretto (the first preview performance ran 4½ hours), the show nonetheless became an immediate Broadway hit, captivating audiences with its soaring music, its compelling retelling of the Arthurian legend, and an all-star cast that included Richard Burton and Julie Andrews. It didn’t hurt that the show became a favorite of the new President, John F. Kennedy, eventually coming to reference his tragically brief administration. Kennedy’s favorite scene was the final one, which brings home the central theme of the show: “Men die, but an idea does not.” A message for the ages—and interestingly, one that provided the key for the final edits that greatly shortened the show: Lerner and Loewe realized they could shorten the steps along the journey to this conclusion. As ever, TAP is grateful to the City of Torrance and the Torrance Performing Arts Consortium (TPAC) for the opportunity to perform in the beautiful James Armstrong Theatre. Camelot marks the 20th TAP production to play in this theatre since the initial production in 1994.

We are delighted to present to you the culmination of three months hard work by a group of 80 people. We are indebted to the City of Torrance and the James Armstrong Theater staff for their support and hard work in making this possible. In the midst of political turmoil and on the verge of economic collapse, Berlin in the early 1930’s remained a center of social and artistic innovation. The cabarets embraced the political satire, music, drink, and decadence of the era. Christopher Isherwood came to Berlin in 1929 to explore the city’s progressive culture and seedy underworld and several years later published his novels “The Last of Mr. Norris” and “Goodbye to Berlin” and later combined these into the single volume “Berlin Stories.” These stories provided the basis for the play “I am a Camera” and, in 1966, the Tony Award winning Broadway musical Cabaret.

We would like to thank the City of Torrance and the staff of the James Armstrong theatre for their support. Robert Meredith Willson was born in Mason City, Iowa on 18 May 1902, which is the original setting for The Music Man. In 1950, with no income and little encouragement, Meredith worked on his play for five long years. The original musical was much too long at three hours and needed to be cut; Meredith had written 40 songs, but 22 were dropped. He and his wife continuously auditioned with producers throughout the years, promoting the musical. Finally, Meredith Willson‘s The Music Man opened on Broadway on 19 December 1957 and went on for a 1375 performance run. The cast album won the very first Grammy Award ever presented. The Music Man won eight Tony Awards with Willson winning for Best Musical Author and Best Composer and Lyricist.

    required for admission to the presence of the Emperor of China. Many Westerners thought it was a sign of worship, but in this context it is only a sign of extreme reverence. After a The Aerospace Players time its meaning came to include any abject submission or groveling. A toad in this song is used instead of the more common toady, meaning a sycophant who flatters others to gain personal advantage. Moses is by tradition assumed to be the author of the first five books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. So in many Bibles the book of Genesis has the fuller title of "The First Book of Moses, called Genesis". Now is always best time. This is perhaps the best line in the whole play! Songkla, or more properly Songkhla, is a port city on the eastern side of the Isthmus of Kra, which connects Thailand with Malaysia. It is located near the Malaysian border. The British controlled Malaya at the time, so Sir Edward Ramsay would be on his way to Bangkok. The King refers to Edward Ramsay as Sir Ramsay. Properly, a knight is referred to by "Sir" with his first name only, but not his last name only: "Sir Edward", not "Sir Ramsay". The phrase post meridian is a variation of post meridiem (abbreviated "p.m.", meaning "afternoon". [Origin: Latin post ("after") + merīdiēm, accusative singular of merīdiēs ("noon, midday").] In this context, I assume penang means what Siamese women traditionally wore below the waist Bodice, in this context, means the upper portion of a one- or two-piece dress, in distinction to the skirt and sleeves; it would cover a woman from neck to waist.
