APRIL 2016 On behalf of The Old Globe, we’re delighted to welcome you to Rain! This is a special production for us, a labor of love a couple of years in the making. The Globe produces an unparalleled variety of work on its stages, from classic dramas to contemporary comedies, but perhaps the most challenging, complicated, and thrilling shows to produce are world premiere musicals. Rain marks the 30th musical to premiere here at the Globe—that’s a significant body of work we’ve nurtured and introduced to audiences for the first time.

As you take your seats for this performance and look up at the stage, you’ll see one of the reasons The Old Globe has been able to successfully produce so many world premiere musicals. The Globe boasts the most talented production staff of any theatre in the country. These skilled artisans—carpenters and electricians, drapers and painters, sound technicians and backstage crew—make the Globe’s productions distinctively excellent. And rarely have their skills been more on view than in Rain, one of the DOUGLAS GATES most complex physical productions the Globe Managing Director Michael G. Murphy and Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. has ever created. Our hats are off to them.

The musicals the Globe has premiered represent the widest range of styles. Globe audiences have enjoyed serious dramas and light comedies, dance-based musicals and verbal tours de force, with scores ranging from modern pop to more complex symphonic compositions. For Rain, we’re thrilled to have with us one of the great musical theatre composers of the day, Michael John LaChiusa, along with Rain’s incomparable co-creator, book writer Sybille Pearson. Together they’ve crafted a musical of incredible richness, as thought-provoking and moving as it is glorious to listen to. We’re honored to be able to give Rain its launch into the world.

Also: Please turn to page 6 for a very special announcement. Hint: It’s about something that appears for the first time on this page!

Interviews by Danielle Mages Amato

What drew the two of you to Somerset Maugham’s short story How do you determine where the songs should fall in the story “Rain” as fruitful subject matter for a musical? or which moments demand to be expressed in song?

Michael John LaChiusa: I’d had “Rain” on my to-do bookshelf for Sybille Pearson: I don’t mean to make it a mystery, but you “feel” a number of years. Having read the story when I was a teenager, it the moments that become songs. It’s when dialogue is not enough stuck with me. The possibility of musicalizing it had been suggested and poetry and music need to come in to heighten a moment or are to me over a decade ago but it wasn’t until Sybille and I were working needed to explore an internal moment. I indicate where I think the on Giant at The Public Theater in New York that I returned to the song moment is by writing “Song Stuff” after the dialogue ends. Sybille Pearson and Michael John LaChiusa. Photo by Jim Cox. notion. We’d been discussing what our next project might be, The “Song Stuff” is a free association monologue that contains the looking at various properties and ideas, and I brought up “Rain” thoughts, emotional responses, reactions to details of place—all as a possibility. Although the story is relatively slight, the study of of these elements that are within the character, examined for that human behavior that Maugham presents always struck me as deeply moment. Michael John can ignore it or use it. I’m just exploring the profound—and ripe for musical treatment. All that said, the short moment in prose or dialogue; again, it’s so that I get an emotional story form is probably the most challenging to adapt for the stage, understanding of the characters. “What’s been challenging—okay, even fun—is to especially the musical stage. Short stories are notoriously compact; they are, literally, “short” on character, on plot, on action. You have to Michael John LaChiusa: What I appreciate most about Sybille be inventive by opening up the narrative, showing what the original is her willingness to write the “dirty play.” She’ll write a scene and continue to build on what Sybille and I love to do: author has chosen not to show, sometimes inventing characters out include extended monologues or, if it’s a duet or group moment, of whole cloth to make what isn’t inherently theatrical, theatre. But extended scenes that wouldn’t necessarily work in an actual play, but interweave music and dialogue as seamlessly as knowing that Sybille likes a challenge as much as I do (though we need—even demand—to be musicalized. Although she and I are as both will complain mightily about it when we’re in the thick of it— different as night and day personally, we share the same instincts we possibly can.” what-the-hell-are-we-doing!), I thought it would be an adventure for about what could be, should be a song. Sometimes those instincts are us to try it out. spot on, other times maybe not so much, as we learn in rehearsals— but that shared instinct is always put to good use early on. When —Michael John LaChiusa Sybille Pearson: I knew of Maugham and Sadie Thompson but she’s ready to show me her “dirty play”—it may be a scene or even hadn’t read the story. My first thought was, “Impossible to do,” as an entire act—I begin work on musicalizing the material. Sometimes there was so much not written in the short story. Adaptation is she’ll indicate what might be a song idea, sometimes not because a tricky business. The tricky part is in staying true to the original it’s just that obvious. We both know it’s best to overwrite—you can Michael John, what influenced the style of the music for this piece? How do you come to develop what a particular score will author’s sensibility while you tell his story for the stage, for actors always cut later on—but it’s always smart to start out with too much, feel or sound like? to play moment by moment, for an audience to listen to and to see, if only to explore every possibility the material offers. illuminating the unwritten at times. I wrote a first pass at the first Michael John LaChiusa: One of the best parts of writing musicals is that I can go to places in the world (hell, the universe) that I’ve act to get a feel of what this short story might be as a theatre piece. I never been to before and imagine what those places sound like, look like, even smell like, and paint a picture with music. In the case of felt after doing the first act that, yes, it could be a musical, and I got Rain, I’ve never been to the Pacific Islands—I’ve never written a hula or music that called for lava stones. Rain is one of the most unusual excited to get into the piece fully. After that it’s two minds finding scores I’ve written in that in addition to character-driven music—the interior monologues or external duets, even group choruses—there is agreement within one story that will be our show. tremendous use of diegetic music: a Samoan chant, a Scottish folk song, tribal drums, gramophone music from the 1920s. The result should be a very diverse and, hopefully, rich tapestry. I love scores with great variety, with constant surprises. Homogeny is not musical theatre’s friend. What’s been challenging—okay, even fun—is to continue to build on what Sybille and I love to do: interweave music and dialogue as seamlessly as we possibly can. It’s so hard to do but very rewarding, especially when actors embrace that challenge. Working with them to help figure out the mechanics and nuances of what we’ve written—it’s really the perfect thrill. 
