Josh Groban Tolkar Vår Tids Största Musikallåtar På Nya Albumet Stages 2015-03-11 15:34 CET Josh Groban tolkar vår tids största musikallåtar på nya albumet Stages Platinasäljande världsstjärnan Josh Groban släpper nytt album med titeln Stages den 28 april via Reprise Records. Albumet är en samling med Grobans återgivningar av några av de största musikallåtarna genom tiderna. “Nothing has inspired me more in my life than the energy that is shared in a theater when great songs and great art are on the stage. I wanted this album to pay tribute to those inspirations and memories.” berättar Groban. Albumet är producerat av Humberto Gatica och Bernie Herms och spelades till stor del in i London’s legendariska Abbey Road Studios tillsammans med en orkester om 75 personer. “Stages is an album I’ve wanted to make since I signed to Reprise/Warner Bros. Records during my freshman year as a Musical Theater student at Carnegie Mellon. I knew in my heart that, at some point, I would visit the songs I love from that world as an album. Having lived in New York City the last few years, seeing as much theater as I could see, and having so many great friends in the theater community, it became really inspiring to take this on. It was time.” - Josh Groban. Se albumtrailern till Stageshär.

  • The South African Who Wrote the English Lyrics for 'Les Miserables' Talks to Marianne Gray in London HERBERT Kretzmer Has Ve
    The South African who wrote the English lyrics for ‘Les Miserables’ talks to Marianne Gray in London HERBERT Kretzmer has very little to be miserable about. Apart from living a fascinating life, which started in Kroonstad then went via Paris and New York to London, he also wrote the English lyrics for Les Miserables, the world’s longest-running musical, which is now coming out as an all-star film. For the film, he has written the lyrics for an additional song, Suddenly, which has been nominated for an Oscar as Best Original Song. We meet in his elegant townhouse in Kensington, London, to talk about the film of the musical which is based on Victor Hugo’s novel set in 19th-century France. The musical has been running worldwide for 27 years, has been seen by 60 million people and shows no signs of flagging. The film stars two Australian leading men —Russell Crowe as the relentless Inspector Javert and Hugh Jackman as the hunted ex convict Jean Valjean — and the gorgeous Anne Hathaway as the hapless Fantine, mother of Cosette, who sells her hair to raise money. Hathaway actually had her beautiful long hair shorn to the scalp during one of the movie’s possibly most emotional sequences. Kretzmer only went on set twice during the shoot. He says he is now a “spare wheel”. “Nobody wants a writer round once his work is done,” he laughs. “He’s just being a tourist.” At 87, and with an OBE (Order of the British Empire), a chevalier of the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and an honorary doctorate from Rhodes University (which he dropped out of when a student), he still is totally on the ball as he chats, in a soft South African accent, about his extraordinary life.

    A Few Words About the Rest of the Program: Tonight/Somewhere from West Side Story Words by Stephen Sondheim/ Music by Leonard Bernstein/arr. Terry Winch & Bob Krogstad Set as a mid-century, urban Romeo and Juliet, West Side Story explores the rivalry between two New York street gangs and the forbidden romance that blossoms in spite of it. Bernstein wrote the work in 1957 and it was nominated for 6 Tony Awards that year. If not for The Music Man, it might have won them all. This is the Moment from Jekyll & Hyde Words by Leslie Bricusse/Music by Frank Wildhorn/arr. Bob Krogstad The musical version of the legend of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was premiered in 1997. Frank Wildhorn composed the score and the book was taken from the original Robert Louis Stevenson by Leslie Bricusse. “This is the Moment” comes at the crucial point in the story when Dr. Jekyll is about to test the fateful formula on himself. Into the Fire from The Scarlet Pimpernel Words by Nan Knighthorn/Music by Frank Wildhorn/arr. JAC Redford Also from the pen of Frank Wildhorn and also from the year 1997, The Scarlet Pimpernel depicts the Reign of Terror and the French Revolution. “Into the Fire” comes early in Act I when Percy, Armand and others make plans to rescue some of the doomed aristocrats from the guillotine. The Prayer from Quest for Camelot Words & Music by Carole Bayer-Sager & David Foster/arr. Bob Krogstad Quest for Camelot was an animated feature film from 1998 which was based on the Arthurian novel by Vera Chapman called The King’s Damosel.

By foregrounding the role of the audience in creating meaning and by minimizing the “show” as a coherent work, I reconnect musicals to their roots in comedy by way of Mikhail Bakhtin’s theories of carnival and reduced laughter. The audiences I study are kids, queers, and collectors, an alliterative set of people whose gender identities and expressions all depart from or fall outside of the normative binary. Focusing on these audiences, whose musical comedy fandom is widely acknowledged but little studied, I follow Raymond Knapp and Stacy Wolf to demonstrate that musical comedy provides a forum for identity formation especially for these problematically gendered audiences. ii The dissertation of Samuel Dworkin Baltimore is approved.

  • CITATION for HERBERT KRETZMER Honorary Graduand
    CITATION FOR HERBERT KRETZMER Honorary graduand, Rhodes University, 7 April 2011 By Professor Paul Maylam When the English version of the classic French musical, Les Miserables, opened in London in 1985, one or two critics wrote it off, expecting it to be dropped in no time. Over 25 years later it is still showing in London’s West End – the longest-running musical in history. The songs for this English production were written by Herbert Kretzmer – songs which firmly established his reputation as a lyricist – so much so that his songs have become stage staples in the UK. Where were the foundations laid for this illustrious song-writing career? Perhaps as a small child growing up in Kroonstad, where he was born, the son of Lithuanian immigrant parents – hearing the family’s domestic worker singing as she laboured – he has a powerful memory of her “sweet African song” ringing in his ears; and remembers, too, the songs of black convict workers digging up part of a street with pick-axes. Or perhaps the foundations were laid here at Rhodes where he studied for a while in the mid-1940s. A little research has revealed that here was a budding talent. Early in May 1945 Herbert produced songs for a campus production – a composition called “Moonlight in Hindustan” earned good reviews, while another song, “James James”, rapidly became a Rhodes classic. This was just a few days before World War Two finally ended. Rhodes had its own V-E Day celebrations, which did indeed go on through the night and next day – Herbert one of the main providers of music for the occasion.

  • 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.

  • Something Rotten! Sings
    Something Rotten! Sings Something Rotten! is brimming with countless references from some of the most beloved modern musicals throughout history. Jazz hands out! Below is a list of just some of our favorites from the show- stopping number “A Musical”. “Some musicals have no talking at all”: Several musicals are more akin to operas, possessing no spoken dialogue, including Les Misérables, Jesus Christ Superstar, Rent and several others. “I believe it’s called ‘Miser-ahh-bluh’”: This is directly referring to Les Misérables, with music by Claude-Michel Schönberg, original French lyrics by Alain Boubil and Jean-Marc Natel and an English libretto by Herbert Kretzmer. “Feel that fascinating rhythm move into your feet”: These lyrics are from George and Ira Gershwin’s “Fascinating Rhythm,” which was first included in the Broadway musical Lady Be Good in 1924 with Fred and Adele Astaire. “It’s a musical, a Seussical?”: Seussical was a musical that debuted on Broadway in 2000 and was based on the books of Dr. Seuss. Stephen Flaherty independently composed the music and co-wrote the book with Lynn Ahrens, who also wrote the lyrics. Sailor Hats: During “A Musical,” Nostradamus and the chorus men don sailor hats, which harkens to several nautical-themed musicals, including South Pacific, Anything Goes, On the Town and Dames at Sea. “All That Jazz” Number: This number comes from the John Kander and Fred Ebb musical Chicago, featuring the iconic Broadway choreography of Bob Fosse. “525,600 Minutes” Excerpt: This moment comes from the song “Seasons of Love” from Jonathan Larson’s Rent, which won the Tony Award for Best Musical in 1996.
