I thank Ron Kurowski for his insights into this show from the Music Director: KEITH S. CLATTENBURG perspective of a 14 year A Chorus line veteran, and for his clear and thoughtful feedback Choreographer: Nicole Mesiono into the emotional backstory of each character, the vision of Michael Bennett, and for welcoming us into the Chorus line family. Ron pointed out to the cast and staff that this is actually a play, based on the real lives of a group of Broadway dancers, which was developed into an ensemble show with some music, song and dance, but not a musical in how we understood musicals to be in 1975. As a dancer, I relate to the role of a dancer in a production, never the lead, but someone that supports and frames the leads. This peek into the lives and stories of these performers has moved each of us and similarly forever changed American musical theater. Four days after we started rehearsing for A Chorus Line, we received news that Marvin Hamlisch had died. His sudden death added new meaning to the cast and staff, so we are dedicating our production to him, to honor his work on this show. Like other directors before me have stated, the casting process for this show was the most challenging part. I was excited to hear that for most cast members, they were cast their dream role, which I feel is reflected in their performances. Having to be triple threats (actor, singer and dancer) has been quite demanding, and I am impressed with the enthusiasm and skill everyone shared in the rehearsal process. I thank this amazing PERfORMANCE DATES cast, with whom I call friends, for putting yourselves on the line and moving out of your AND TIMES comfort zone by emotionally exploring your characters, and for actively engaging in the creative process. Thank you for allowing me to direct you. Most of the cast shared with ~ii3~~ me how they personally relate to their character and this show, and for this I am 2 I , grateful. I would like to thank the ensemble, not chosen for the line, but who have I immensely given to the show. I would like to thank my incredible production team I ..

  • The First Critical Assessments of a Streetcar Named Desire: the Streetcar Tryouts and the Reviewers
    FALL 1991 45 The First Critical Assessments of A Streetcar Named Desire: The Streetcar Tryouts and the Reviewers Philip C. Kolin The first review of A Streetcar Named Desire in a New York City paper was not of the Broadway premiere of Williams's play on December 3, 1947, but of the world premiere in New Haven on October 30, 1947. Writing in Variety for November 5, 1947, Bone found Streetcar "a mixture of seduction, sordid revelations and incidental perversion which will be revolting to certain playgoers but devoured with avidity by others. Latter category will predomin­ ate." Continuing his predictions, he asserted that Streetcar was "important theatre" and that it would be one "trolley that should ring up plenty of fares on Broadway" ("Plays Out of Town"). Like Bone, almost everyone else interested in the history of Streetcar has looked forward to the play's reception on Broadway. Yet one of the most important chapters in Streetcar's stage history has been neglected, that is, the play's tryouts before that momentous Broadway debut. Oddly enough, bibliographies of Williams fail to include many of the Streetcar tryout reviews and surveys of the critical reception of the play commence with the pronouncements found in the New York Theatre Critics' Reviews for the week of December 3, 1947. Such neglect is unfortunate. Streetcar was performed more than a full month and in three different cities before it ever arrived on Broadway. Not only was the play new, so was its producer. Making her debut as a producer with Streetcar, Irene Selznick was one of the powerhouses behind the play.

  • Bye Bye Birdie Synopsis and Character Descriptions
    Bye Bye Birdie Synopsis and Character Descriptions SYNOPSIS (compliments of Tams-Witmark Music Library, Inc.): BYE BYE BIRDIE is one of the most captivating musical shows of our time. It tells the story of a rock and roll singer who is about to be inducted into the army. The singer, Conrad Birdie, an Elvis Presley type, has a pompadour and thick sideburns; he wears gaudy gold costumes and speaks in a rugged voice. Albert Peterson, his agent, is a very pleasant mild-mannered young man. Albert's faithful secretary Rose Alvarez keeps him and Birdie moving forward in the world. Rosie concocts one final national publicity plan before Conrad's induction. Conrad will bid a typical American teen-age girl goodbye with an all-American kiss. Kim MacAfee in Sweet Apple, Ohio wins the honor. All of the phones in her town are already busy during The Telephone Hour as Kim has just been pinned to Hugo, a local boy. She is a pretty girl of fifteen and sings with spring-like ardor How Lovely to Be a Woman, as she pulls on the plaid woolen socks and the baggy mustard colored sweater considered stylish and popular among young ladies. The arrival of Birdie in Sweet Apple causes people of all ages to swoon. Birdie says that his success is due to the fact that he is Honestly Sincere when he sings, and the quiet little town goes into a spin. The MacAfee household is completely upset by the visiting celebrity. It is decided that Birdie will give his One Last Kiss on the Ed Sullivan show.

  • Two Tendencies Beyond Realism in Arthur Miller's Dramatic Works
    Inês Evangelista Marques 2º Ciclo de Estudos em Estudos Anglo-Americanos, variante de Literaturas e Culturas The Intimate and the Epic: Two Tendencies beyond Realism in Arthur Miller’s Dramatic Works A critical study of Death of a Salesman, A View from the Bridge, After the Fall and The American Clock 2013 Orientador: Professor Doutor Rui Carvalho Homem Coorientador: Professor Doutor Carlos Azevedo Classificação: Ciclo de estudos: Dissertação/relatório/Projeto/IPP: Versão definitiva 2 Abstract Almost 65 years after the successful Broadway run of Death of a Salesman, Arthur Miller is still deemed one of the most consistent and influential playwrights of the American dramatic canon. Even if his later plays proved less popular than the early classics, Miller’s dramatic output has received regular critical attention, while his long and eventful life keeps arousing the biographers’ curiosity. However, most of the academic works on Miller’s dramatic texts are much too anchored on a thematic perspective: they study the plays as deconstructions of the American Dream, as a rebuke of McCarthyism or any kind of political persecution, as reflections on the concepts of collective guilt and denial in relation to traumatizing events, such as the Great Depression or the Holocaust. Especially within the Anglo-American critical tradition, Miller’s plays are rarely studied as dramatic objects whose performative nature implies a certain range of formal specificities. Neither are they seen as part of the 20th century dramatic and theatrical attempts to overcome the canons of Realism. In this dissertation, I intend, first of all, to frame Miller’s dramatic output within the American dramatic tradition.
