    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE UPDATED July 11, 2013 July 8, 2013 Contact: Katherine E. Johnson (212) 875-5718; [email protected] NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC TO PRESENT STEPHEN SONDHEIM’S TONY AND DRAMA DESK AWARD–WINNING MUSICAL SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET A MUSICAL THRILLER STARRING BRYN TERFEL as Sweeney Todd Conducted by ALAN GILBERT Directed by LONNY PRICE Produced by LONNY PRICE and MATT COWART March 5–8, 2014 The New York Philharmonic will present a staged production of Stephen Sondheim’s Tony and Drama Desk Award–winning musical thriller Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, March 5–8, 2014. Bass-baritone Bryn Terfel will star as the title character. Sweeney Todd will be conducted by Music Director Alan Gilbert; directed by Lonny Price, who directed and produced the Philharmonic’s productions of Sondheim’s Company in 2011, SONDHEIM: The Birthday Concert! in 2010, and Sweeney Todd in 2000; and produced by Lonny Price and Matt Cowart. Additional casting will be announced at a later date. “It is always exciting when the New York Philharmonic steps out of its traditional role to expand the notion of what an orchestra can be,” said Music Director Alan Gilbert. “Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd is both powerful and exuberant, and the Philharmonic’s performance of this score will again demonstrate just how outstanding a great Broadway show is when performed by the musicians of this great Orchestra. It will be especially thrilling with Bryn Terfel, a remarkable actor as well as a legendary singer, in the title role, and I’ve enjoyed conferring with Lonny Price about the characters and the role the music should play.” (more) Sweeney Todd / 2 “I am always excited to return to the New York Philharmonic, and particularly with Stephen Sondheim’s masterpiece Sweeney Todd,” said Lonny Price.

  • Rediscovering Me and Juliet and Pipe Dream , the Forgotten Musicals of Rodgers and Hammerstein
    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: “WHO EXPECTS A MIRACLE TO HAPPEN EVERY DAY?”: REDISCOVERING ME AND JULIET AND PIPE DREAM , THE FORGOTTEN MUSICALS OF RODGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN Bradley Clayton Mariska, Master of Arts, 2004 Thesis directed by: Assistant Professor Jennifer DeLapp Department of Musicology Me and Juliet (1953) and Pipe Dream (1955) diverged considerably from Rodgers and Hammerstein’s influential and commercially successful 1940s musical plays. Me and Juliet was the team’s first musical comedy and had an original book by Hammerstein. Pipe Dream was based on a John Steinbeck novel and featured bums and prostitutes. This paper documents the history of Me and Juliet and Pipe Dream , using correspondence, early drafts of scripts, interviews with cast members, and secondary sources. I analyze the effectiveness of plot, music, and lyrics, while considering factors in each show’s production that may have led to their respective failures. To better understand reception, emphasis is placed upon each show’s relationship to the political and cultural landscape of 1950s America. Re-examining these musicals helps document the complete history of the Rodgers and Hammerstein collaboration and provides valuable insights regarding the duo’s social values and personal philosophies of musical theatre. “WHO EXPECTS A MIRACLE TO HAPPEN EVERY DAY?”: REDISCOVERING ME AND JULIET AND PIPE DREAM , THE FORGOTTEN MUSICALS OF RODGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN by Bradley Clayton Mariska Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Arts 2004 Advisory Committee: Professor Jennifer DeLapp, Chair Professor Barbara Haggh-Huglo Professor Richard King © Copyright by Bradley Clayton Mariska 2004 To Grandma Bonnie, for The Sound of Music To my parents, for Joseph ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to many individuals who have helped in the completion of this document.
