Celebrating Mercer Near the Moon River
Celebrating Mercer Near the Moon River By Lesley Francis Even the aftermath of hurricane Matthew can’t stop the resi- dents of Skidaway Island from a great party at the Plantation Club – especially when that party celebrates the life and music of John- ny Mercer. The second annual “birthday party” takes place on the evening of Friday, November 18, which would have been Mercer’s 107th birthday (he died in 1976). The evening – “Hooray for Hollywood” (after Mercer’s 1938 hit song) – will feature a glamorous, Hollywood ‘30s art deco theme, and attendees are encouraged to dress ele- gantly. Plans for the evening include dinner, dancing, en- tertainment, a 50/50 raffle and a member/cash bar. Kim Michael Polote, winner of the 2001 American Tradi- tions Vocal Competition (ATVC) Gold Medal, 2006 Gold Medal winner and ATVC Artistic Consultant Vale Rideout, and 2014 Gold Medal winner Mik- ki Sodergren will delight attendees by perform- ing some of Mercer’s classics. Mercer resonates with many of us who reside on Skidaway Island, so close to the Moon River which inspired him to write one of his most famous songs. Mercer wrote “Moon River” (mu- sic by Henry Mancini) in 1961 for the film “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” winning his third Academy Award. Aside from this obvious connection, many of Mercer’s songs and lyrics 8 – VOL. 14 ISSUE 22 TheSkinnie www.theskinnie.com www.theskinnie.com 1422 Skinnie.indd 8 10/31/16 8:57 AM speak to the Southern way of life, its geography, nature, climate and man- bankruptcy, his father dedicated the rest of his life to paying off that debt, ners.

Media Contact: Ashley Bodul, Geffen Playhouse [email protected] 310.966.2405 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE WORLD PREMIERE OF “CHASING MEM’RIES: A DIFFERENT KIND OF MUSICAL” AT THE GEFFEN PLAYHOUSE EXTENDS THROUGH DECEMBER 17, 2017 TYNE DALY, ROBERT FORSTER AND SCOTT KRADOLFER STAR IN NEW PLAY WITH SONGS BY ALAN & MARILYN BERGMAN; WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY JOSH RAVETCH LOS ANGELES (November 1, 2017) – The World Premiere of Chasing Mem’ries: A Different Kind of Musical, starring Tony and Emmy Award winner Tyne Daly and featuring new and original songs by award winning lyricists Alan & Marilyn Bergman, will extend for one week in the Gil Cates Theater at the Geffen Playhouse and run through Sunday, December 17, 2017. Written and directed by Josh Ravetch (Carrie Fisher’s Wishful Drinking), Chasing Mem’ries stars Daly as Victoria, a woman not quite ready to let go of the life she has loved and the love of her life, Academy Award-nominee Robert Forster (Jackie Brown) as her husband Franklin, and Scott Kradolfer as their son Mason. “A violinist once said she only got to play a Stradivarius a few times in her life and she knew she would never be quite as good without it. With Tyne, Robert and Scott, and the songs of Alan and Marilyn Bergman, in this play I get to play a Stradivarius,” said Ravetch. “It is a joy to be able to keep the music playing at the Geffen Playhouse a little bit longer.” The play features 12 songs – five of them new – by legendary Grammy, Emmy and Academy Award-winning lyricists Alan & Marilyn Bergman (“The Way We Were,” “The Windmills of Your Mind,” “Papa, Can You Hear Me?”), with music by Bill Cantos & Mari Falcone, Dave Grusin, Marvin Hamlisch, Michel Legrand and Johnny Mandel.
