  • Crazy for You
    CRAZY FOR YOU THE NEW GERSHWIN® MUSICAL Music and Lyrics by George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin; Book by Ken Ludwig. Co- conception by Ken Ludwig and Mike Ockrent. Inspired by material by Guy Bolton and John McGowan. Originally produced on Broadway by Roger Horchow and Elizabeth Williams THE STORY ACT ONE It is backstage at the Zangler Theater in New York City in the 1930s during a performance of the "Zangler Follies." Impresario Bela Zangler is in love with Tess, his Dance Director but since Zangler is married, Tess rejects his advances. Also back stage is Bobby Child, heir to a wealthy banking family, who yearns to be in show- business. Bobby talks Zangler into letting him audition on the spot, but the audition is not a success. Outside the theatre, Bobby is accosted by Irene, his wealthy fiancée, whom he doesn't want to marry, then by his mother, who insists that he go to Deadrock, Nevada to foreclose on a property. Bobby escapes the argument by conjuring up the Follies Girls. When he returns to reality, he chooses Deadrock over Irene and hurries off to Grand Central station and for Deadrock. Deadrock is a has-been mining town where the only woman in town is Polly Baker, a feisty postmistress. Her father, Everett, owns the Gaiety Theater that has now gone to seed. Everett has received a letter from New York stating that a banker named Bobby Child has been sent to foreclose on the theatre as the mortgage payments have not been made. Polly vows that if she ever meets this "Bobby Child "she'll do "something ugly".

  • Developmental Cross Training Repertoire for Musical Theatre
    Developmental Cross Training Repertoire for Musical Theatre Women The repertoire suggestions below target specific developmental goals. It is important to keep in mind however that the distinguishing characteristic of musical theatre singing is the variability of tonal resonance within any given song. A predominantly soprano song might suddenly launch into a belt moment. A chest dominant ballad may release into a tender soprano. Story always pre-empts musical choices. “Just You Wait” from My Fair Lady is part of the soprano canon but we would be disappointed if Eliza could not tell Henry Higgins what she really felt. In order to make things easier for beginning students, it’s a good idea to find repertoire with targeted range and consistent quality as students develop skill in coordinating registration. Soprano Mix—Beginner, Teens to Young Adult Examples of songs to help young sopranos begin to feel functionally confident and enthusiastic about characters and repertoire. Integrating the middle soprano is a priority and it is wise to start there. My Ship Lady in the Dark Weill Far from the Home I Love Fiddler on the Roof Bock/ Harnick Ten Minutes Ago Cinderella Rodgers/Hammerstein Mr. Snow Carousel Rodgers/Hammerstein Happiness is a Thing Called Joe Cabin in the Sky Arlen/Harburg One Boy Bye Bye Birdie Strouse/Adams Dream with Me Peter Pan Bernstein Just Imagine Good News!

The pre-Broadway Canadian premiere of Anaïs Mitchell’s musical Hadestown (Nov 11 – Dec 3) has been generating buzz in both New York and Edmonton. Five New York theatre stars will make the trip to Alberta in October to begin rehearsals. Patrick Page is a Broadway veteran who created the dual role of Norman Osborn and his alter ego the Green Goblin in the Broadway rock musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, and has starred in such major productions as The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, A Man For All Seasons, and Cyrano De Bergerac. He will play Hades, the role he originated in the Off-Broadway production last year. Another Hadestown alumna, Amber Gray, who will play Persephone, comes to the Citadel after appearing as Hélène Kuragina in the much-acclaimed Broadway musical Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812, a performance that garnered a 2017 Theatre World Award. Broadway great Kingsley Leggs will play Hermes. He is best known for originating the roles of Mister in The Color Purple and Curtis Jackson in Sister Act.

    CABARET Book by Joe Masteroff Based on the play by John Van Druten and Stories by Christopher Isherwood Music by Lyrics by John Kander Fred Ebb Broadway production directed by Harold Prince Produced for the Broadway stage by Harold Prince Directed and Choreographed by Amy K Barnes Music Direction by Brandon R Tanner Stage Manager Heather Rostad Set Design Lighting Design Costume Design Amy K Barnes Mark Wilson Roger Ormiston Jared Alan Barnes Amy K Barnes Sound Design Props Mistress Assistant Stage Managers Philip Harris Ashley Truitt Ashley Truitt Kerri Edwards Danielle Stringfellow CABARET is presented by arrangement with TAMS-WHITMARK www.tamswhitmark.com Funded in part by City of Conroe Arts and Culture Grant DIRECTOR’S NOTE Welcome to Berlin... “Cabaret” is based on a short semi-autobiographical novel by Christopher Isherwood about the time he spent in Berlin between the two world wars. Through his eyes (as the character of Cliff) we see the wild party that is the underbelly of Berlin during 1930. But something dark is stirring in the streets, as Hitler’s rise to power changes everything for the citizens of Germany. In the Kit Kat Klub, we meet Berlin’s forgotten and rejected as they perform for the entertainment of Social Democrats, Communists, and Nazis alike. They are the undesirables of Germany, and they cross with ease the line of “Propriety.” I love this musical because it reminds us that there is a story behind every human we see, judge, and dismiss. There is a beating heart inside each person we deem undesirable. We must never forget what has been done before in the name of the “Future.” Let us choose love and acceptance—always.
