Carnival! - Wikipedia The show's title originally used an exclamation point; it was eventually dropped during the show's run, as director Gower Champion felt it gave the Writing the Broadway Musical impression, saying, "It's not a blockbuster. It's a gentle show. In December producer David Merrick announced his intent to produce a stage musical based on the film Lilia concept suggested to Merrick by that film's screenwriter Helen Deutsch. Calvi's lack of expertise with English lyrics would result in his dropping out of the Lili musical; on Deutsch's recommendation Merrick hired Bob Merrill to write the score. Helen Deutsch would soon be dropped from Merrick's project, as Merrick was finding the drafts she was submitting unworkable for the stage. Feeling he could get the desired result more expediently working with a writer with stage musical experience, Merrick recruited Bye Bye Birdie writer Michael Stewart in Septemberthe invitation being made through Gower Champion. In its final form Carnival would credit its book to "Michael Stewart based on material by Helen Deutsch". A month after Stewart submitted his first draft for Carnival! A lone figure, Jacquot, is playing " Love Makes the World Go 'Round " on a concertina as the carnival is being set Writing the Broadway Musical. But instead, Gobert, the souvenir salesman, tries to sexually assault her. Marco the Magnificent, a handsome magician, enters as Lili escapes from Writing the Broadway Musical, and performs a magic trick, which enchants Lili so much that she falls in Writing the Broadway Musical with him. In another part of the carnival Paul Berthalet, a lonely and bitter puppeteer who has become crippled because of a war injury, is preparing his new act, which is lifeless and uninteresting. The carnival manager B. Schlegel, fires him. Jacquot, who is his assistant puppeteer, tells Paul he can Writing the Broadway Musical things over; but Paul, unhappy with his new life as a cripple, declares his need to find a meaning for his life "I've Got to Find a Reason". Lili happens by at that moment, and Paul dismisses her. Lili tells Paul and a charmed Jacquot that she cannot leave because she has come from a long way from "Mira" and longs to live a grand life. At that moment, Marco returns from the parade and a jealous Paul tells him Writing the Broadway Musical leave her alone because "she's not like the others. Meanwhile, Jacquot convinces Paul to stay with the carnival because no matter where he goes, he will never be the famous dancer that he once was again. Paul ponders on how miserable he has been since becoming crippled, comparing himself to the smiling puppets "Everyone Likes You". At the magic show, unable to keep her enthusiasm under control, Lili ruins one of Marco's magic tricks during his show and gets herself fired "Magic, Magic". Humiliated, she starts to attempt a suicidal jump from the acrobat's ladder, but is stopped by a small redheaded puppet named Carrot Top. Paul notices that he Writing the Broadway Musical a lot of attention to Lili and curses his obsession with "Her Face", only to realize the emotion he is feeling is love. All the same, he treats her with increasing cruelty, but increasing care through his four alter egos. Jacquot sees that the carnival is gaining popularity and predicts that the carnival will soon be "The Grand Imperial Cirque De Paris. Jealous, Paul is verbally Writing the Broadway Musical to her while practicing with Lili, correcting her every move and executes a dance step miserably, causing him to fall. He causes Lili to have a breakdown and he kisses her. Lili, shocked, angry and confused about his feelings, decides to leave the carnival as Paul mourns that she will never know his true feelings. Behind the scenes, Marco practices a magic trick with Rosalie, who has threatened to leave him for a doctor. They pledge their love to each other, deciding to run away together to start their own show "Always, Always You". But, Marco tells Lili that he is leaving the carnival and secretly invites her. Even though she has learned of his womanizing ways from Rosalie, a frantic Lili accepts. Paul objects to this and Marco taunts him, ending with Paul attacking him. Upon seeing this, Lili screams her hatred and Paul strikes her. As Paul realizes "She's My Love", an angry Jacquot tells him that he made Lili grow up, teaching her the world is full of cruelty and not of love. As Lili is leaving, she Writing the Broadway Musical goodbye to Marco, telling him that she was living a little girl's dream and she must move forward with her life. Marco tries to take her back, but he is impressed with her newfound maturity and lets her go. Carrot Top and Horrible Henry appear to Lili, telling her to take them with her. She sees the puppets Writing the Broadway Musical trembling, and lifts the puppets off to discover that the puppets have been Paul all along. In some revised versions, Lili reveals that she always knew that the puppets were Paul. As Paul angrily confesses his love for her, she begins to understand the kindness in him and together, they follow the carnival. Carnival premiered at the National Theatre in Washington, D. Gower Champion both directed Writing the Broadway Musical choreographed with orchestrations by Philip J. The puppets were designed and created by Tom Tichenor. Carnival was notable for its innovative staging: there was no overture, and before the play commenced the curtain was already raised to put on view a field with a few trees; at the play's beginning actors hauled in wagons and raised a tent as if they were setting up a traveling fair at a new site. Throughout the play actors entered and exited the stage via the aisles of the theater, where occasional bits of the action were played. In the early stages of developing CarnivalMerrick had envisioned Lili as a dancing rather singing role as in the parent film Liliand had hoped that film's star Leslie Caron would recreate the Lili role on Broadway. This course proving untenable, the Lili role in Carnival was developed as a singing role for which Carol Lawrence was for a time a front runner. However, Merrick's ultimate choice for the role was Anna Maria Alberghettian Italian born lyric soprano who, at twenty-four, had eighteen years experience as a singer and had a light resume of screen acting credits, mostly on television. Before CarnivalAlberghetti had two evident credits as a musical stage actress, having appeared at the Oakdale Theatre in Wallingford CT in Writing the Broadway Musical of Rose-Marie and The Firefly in, respectively, and It has been reported that Merrick cast Alberghetti in Carnival after a January viewing of her cabaret act in Philadelphia, where the singer's audience interaction had made a favorable impression. However, Alberghetti has stated that Merrick had her audition after seeing her at the Oakdale Musical Theater inand her casting as Lili was reported in The New York Times as early as November Despite his early good opinion of Alberghetti, Merrick's relationship with the star of his musical turned acrimonious. Merrick refused to release Alberghetti from Carnival to avail herself of a film offer she received four months into the play's run, and when Alberghetti was hospitalized August 6, for anemia and exhaustion, Merrick reportedly either had an independent physician examine Alberghetti in hospital or had the hospitalized Alberghetti verify her illness in a lie detector test. Gillette's brief stints in the lead of Carnival — she'd relieve Alberghetti during the latter's two-week vacation in December — had enough impact to launch a Broadway career for Gillette — although Carnival would remain the only hit in which she appeared.

  • HELLO DOLLY Program Notes.Pdf
    ` PROGRAM NOTES By Joshua S. Ritter Goodspeed Education & Library Director When Hello, Dolly! opened on Broadway in January of 1964, the nation was still reeling from the shock of President Kennedy’s assassination and apprehensive about the worsening situation in Vietnam. The Beatles invasion had just begun; a youthful fervor for change and rock ‘n’ roll was palpable. David Merrick, a preternaturally gifted producer, could sense the longing of another American generation. He undoubtedly knew the time was right to provide the comfort and nostalgia of a good old-fashioned Broadway musical. After all, he was in possession of a successful theatrical property that was screaming to be set to music. It could also serve as a star vehicle for Ethel Merman, and it contained a 1890’s period flavor that would offer much-needed diversion from current events. Merrick began assembling a team of future Broadway legends to give music and new life to Thorton Wilder’s highly-successful play The Matchmaker. The title would quickly change to Dolly! A Damned Exasperating Woman; Call on Dolly; and finally to Hello, Dolly!. Merrick hired Gower Champion and Michael Stewart, with whom he had previously worked on Carnival!, to stage and adapt the book for what would later be called Hello, Dolly!. Merrick hired the young Jerry Herman to compose the music soon after his success penning the score for his first Broadway musical, Milk and Honey. Champion, Stewart, and Herman worked together to anchor the show to the title song and “Put on your Sunday Clothes.” These became massive production numbers, the former involving whirling waiters, trays of food, and Dolly Levi’s grand descent down a flight of stairs.

  • Chita Rivera
    We l c o m e t o Dear Theatregoers... After the smashing success of this summer’s remarkable Shakespeare Festival, plus Moonlight and Magnolias and The Lady with All the Answers, we might well be inclined to give a huge sigh of relief and accomplish- ment and relax. But that’s hardly going to be possible, given the double-bill we offer at the moment. To welcome my beloved colleagues Terrence McNally and Graciela Daniele back to this theatre is a consummation devoutly to be wished, since he last graced our halls with The Full Monty; and she hasn’t worked her magic since The Snow Ball. But that they’ve come to celebrate the irresistibly dynamic Chita Rivera: The Dancer’s Life, rolling out the events of the our industry’s signature dance icon, not only makes us proud, but initiates lines at the box office any theatre administrator weeps to see. And just next door, in the crucible we call the Cassius Carter Centre Stage is Associate Artist Dakin Matthews, plumbing today’s headlines concerning the church’s most devastating moral crisis with The Prince of L.A., a witty and wise work he not only wrote, but in which he plays its central character, guided by the sure hand of his most astute critic and talented wife, Anne McNaughton. This year past, and the one ahead for all the world seem to be the incarnation of “the good old days!” We are thrilled you are here to share the rewards with us. JACK O’BRIEN Artistic Director Welcome to the first play of our Winter 2005/6 Season.
