I felt the time was right to challenge myself, and I couldn’t be more proud to debut this cabaret on the very stage that offered me my first musical theatre experience as a nine-year-old in the Moonlight’s very first musical Oliver! directed by Kathy Brombacher.” Malone can relate to the fact that the leading ladies she has chosen to celebrate are all attached to iconic comedic roles. “I learned at a very young age that getting laughs is golden,” she said.

  • Pops Program Lovingly Skewers Divas
    Pops program lovingly skewers divas By Mark Kanny TRIBUNE-REVIEW CLASSICAL MUSIC CRITIC Saturday, April 21, 2007 Uproarious humor lifts the Pops' salute to Broadway Divas to a must-see show, one that also includes superb straight performances from the rich legacy of American musicals. As always, guest conductor Jack Everly brought a beautifully crafted production, created by the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra-managed Symphonic Pops Consortium, of which he is music director. The evening opens with a two-part musical prelude arranged by Everly that starts with an instrumental medley and is completed by four of the five singers performing "There's No Business Like Show Business." After Cara Johnston's winning solo in "I Could Have Danced All Night," Toni DiBuono offered the evening's first parody by singing "There's No Divas Like Old Divas, Like Old Divas Like Me" in Ethel Merman style. Everly introduced Heather Tepe, 14, as a "diva in training" to sing the ultimate child-star vehicle, "Tomorrow" from "Annie." Because "Tomorrow" has been ubiquitous to the point of absurdity, the following number had the audience in stitches. DiBuono returned in costume as Annie, as though she had sung the premiere 30 years ago. That Ethel Merman-style New York accent was perfect for "I'll be 49 -- ta- morrah." The lyrics by David Levy were hilarious through all its verses. The Pittsburgh Symphony performed magnificently under Everly's leadership, producing more beautiful sonorities -- fabulous strings -- with much better balances than it has at several of the Mellon Grand Classics concerts this season. Everly offered a little misdirection in his introduction to "With One Look" from Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Sunset Boulevard" about aging star Norma Desmond.

  • The Great American Songbook Through the Lens of Judy Garland
    The Great American Songbook Through the Lens of Judy Garland An Honors Thesis (MUSP 401) By Lindsey Stamper Thesis Advisor Dr. Jon Truitt Ball State University Muncie, Indiana December 2017 Expected Date of Graduation May 2018 0JpCo)} U ndc r.::J r c, a I he c 1 d. i'("; . ._ tJ c ( JP, Abstract r} ,..J... This thesis paper, as well as·the accompanying recital, delves into the topic of The Great American Songbook Through the Lens of Judy Garland. The Great American Songbook is a collection of American standard repertoire from the late nineteenth century to the middle of the twentieth. Judy Garland in particular is an exemplary performer of this period; her life parallels the troubles and careers of many other performers in this era. By exploring and performing songs that Garland performed during her career, this paper relates the history of American music to the life of the acclaimed Judy Garland. Acknowledgments I would like to thank Dr. Jon Truitt for the guidance, insight, advice, and training he has provided me with throughout this project and these past four years. His help with the many performance endeavors of my collegiate career has been invaluable. I would also like to thank my mom and dad for inspiring a curiosity and interest in music at a young age. Lastly, thank you to Julian for always listening with kind and encouraging ears. Process Analysis Statement Recitals, concerts, and cabarets are important events in a music educator's profession. These are the culmination of unseen efforts rehearsing music, planning logistics, and organizing personnel.

  • Do You Know What John F. Kennedy, Teddy Roosevelt, Helen Hayes
    9101 Quarter Horse Lane * Ft. Worth, TX 76123 817-297-3132 * 888-933-2232 [email protected] * www.aafatexas.org Do you know what John F. Kennedy, Teddy Roosevelt, Helen Hayes, Charles Dickens, Che Guevara, Billy Joel, Liza Minnelli, Bob Hope, Coolio, Elizabeth Taylor, Wynonna Judd, Kenny G. Dennis Rodman, Greg Louganis, Jackie Joyner and Jerome Bettis have in common? They, like 1 of every 12 of your friends and family, have asthma. Some of these people died from their asthma just like an average of 14 Americans die daily from this incurable disease. Asthma is the most chronic incurable disease affecting children. It is the leading reason for school and workplace absenteeism. More girls than boys have asthma and more African-Americans and Hispanics have asthma than Caucasian Americans. No one yet knows why some people have asthma and others don’t. Scientists think it’s a combination of genetics or heredity and environmental factors. If one or more of your parents have asthma, there’s a good chance you’ll have it, too. Almost 70% of those with asthma have allergic asthma, meaning their asthma symptoms are started or triggered by allergies. Others have asthma that is triggered by exercise, and some have a combination. Some people have mild asthma which means they don’t have symptoms often; others have severe asthma with symptoms most of the time. Asthma is a chronic disease, which means it never goes away, but it can be controlled. It can be controlled or managed by eliminating or avoiding the triggers or allergens and irritants which cause symptoms or flare-ups and by following the medication plan that a physician prescribes.
