encoreartsseattle.com 9 Boots tells the story of Charlie, the owner of a failing English shoe factory, teaming up with Lola, a drag artist, to serve a niche market – making sturdy boots for cross-dressers. But a successful Broadway show – and, make no mistake, Kinky Boots is a huge hit – is anything but a niche market – it needs to speak to a wide and diverse audience. Jerry Mitchell says he knew the musical would speak to a lot of people, the moment he watched the film. “I got very emotionally caught up in the story of the fathers and the sons,” he says. “And I thought, “well that to me is the nucleus of something really strong,” because it’s a universal idea for us: how do we measure up in our fathers’ eyes?”

That’s certainly the way producer Daryl Roth felt when she Kinky Boots, the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, was first saw the film at Sundance in 2006. Within a year, she created by a dream team of talented and original artists; pop had optioned the musical rights and brought producer icon Cyndi Lauper, who won a Tony for her infectious score, Hal Luftig on board. The two enlisted not only Mitchell, but four-time Tony-winning librettist Harvey Fierstein, and director/ playwright Harvey Fierstein, who says he was attracted to the choreographer Jerry Mitchell, who also took home a Tony for intimate story at the center; the “bromance” between Charlie his dances. “Because we’re all different, we brought in what and Lola, a.k.a. Simon. “The real love story here is these we know and we all worked together to make it right – to two gentlemen who become friends,” says Fierstein. “And I make you laugh and cry,” says Lauper. “Harvey is such a good thought it was a good opportunity to do this realistically.” He storyteller and so is Jerry. They have a lot of heart and I feel was also attracted to the theme of self-acceptance, which very blessed to be among them.” translates not just to the two lead characters, but all the workers in the factory: “It’s the human stories; that’s what Based on an independent film inspired by true events, Kinky theater’s for.” Fierstein called Lauper, who he had known socially. She was elaborate and catchy opening sequence, “The Most Beautiful drawn to the project, as well: “It’s a story about an outsider.” Thing in the World,” which they crafted with Jerry Mitchell. Lauper enthusiastically signed on and she, Fierstein and Fierstein explains, “that tells the story of all the characters, in Mitchell began a four and a half year creative odyssey to relationship to shoes. Everyone in that opening number is translate Kinky Boots to the stage. “I don’t keep track,” explains defined by a pair of shoes and you know who they are.” Mitchell. “Time to me is not the point. Getting it right is the point.” Although the show is mostly set in the workaday world of a shoe factory, the dream team wanted to create a sense of Cyndi Lauper, who grew up listening to Rodgers and joy and uplift for the audience, in the way only a Broadway Hammerstein cast albums, took to writing for characters and musical can do. The first act finale, “Everybody Say Yeah,” dramatic situations, like a duck to water. “Everybody asks is an explosion of energy. Mitchell has the cast dancing the question about pop songs and theater songs,” she says. on moving conveyor belts, which had been used to deliver “I just think that, in some ways, they’re very similar; and in shoes earlier in the musical. “We had so much fun creating other ways, they’re not. You need to be economical; you have that number,” exclaims Mitchell, “because it is a celebration to say something simply. And you have to have your story of making the first pair of kinky boots and everyone in the – a beginning, middle and end – because if the song goes factory gets involved.” nowhere, well, what are you talking about?” And the show’s final numbers, “Raise You Up/ Just Be” literally Harvey Fierstein, a veteran of several musicals, including the does that to the audience every night. “They’re standing up, smash hit La Cage aux Folles, gave Lauper an education cheering, dancing and singing,” says Jerry Mitchell. “And in writing for the theater. “Her lessons were a lot of fun for they don’t want to leave the theater! That’s sort of a magical me,” he says, “frustrating sometimes, but fun, on the other moment. And then, when they do walk out of the theater, you hand.” In particular, he showed Lauper how to weave know, they’re all abuzz.

encoreartsseattle.com 15 EAP 1_2 V template.indd 1 9/5/14 11:42 AM IT’S NICE TO BE HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS! Brandon Ivie is constantly in motion – whether from idea to idea, project to project, or coast to coast, the talented young artist is a meteorite hurtling through space. Sitting next to him, you can practically feel him vibrating with ideas, passion, and the creativity of an artist – an energy he is bringing back to The 5th Avenue stage. A blooming Broadway talent and a permanent fixture of the Seattle arts scene, Ivie will find himself in the director’s seat at The 5th this winter as he – and the runaway hit A Christmas Story, The Musical – come home for the holidays.

Ivie is no stranger to this musical. As the casting associate at The 5th, he sat through hundreds of auditions from youngsters around Puget Sound and discovered Clarke Hallum, who would play Ralphie not only at The 5th, but on the cast album and the national tour that landed the Tony-nominated show a spot on Broadway for the holidays in 2012 (not to mention a return engagement in 2013 at Madison Square Garden). “It was actually one of my proudest memories,” he recently recalled. “He was a really special talent!”

Ivie continued with the show on Broadway as the assistant director. “Broadway is surprisingly similar to working at The 5th!” Ivie recalls. When asked about the show itself and the changes it has undergone, he reassures friends and fans “The show has the same heart, and the plot is the same.” Framed by the simple beauty of Jean Shepherd’s brilliant narration, A Christmas Story returns to The 5th complete with stunning and vivid new choreography, not to mention a brand new song you won’t want to miss.

As for being at home for the holidays, Ivie could not be more thrilled. “Coincidentally,” Ivie laughs, “A huge tradition in my family is Chinese food on Christmas Eve – which is totally unrelated to the Chinese food scene in A Christmas Story. The tradition goes back to my grandparents. My grandma would work so hard to make the Christmas Day meal and my grandpa didn’t want her to also have to make a Christmas Eve meal. So he took the family to Chinese food. It’s an Ivie family tradition that’s been going on for more than 60 years!” Bridget Summers Public Relations Manager

David Armstrong, Executive Producer & Artistic Director

STEP BACKSTAGE AT THE 5TH AVENUE THEATRE, into the “pass-through” behind the stage (a hallway that connects stage right with stage left), and you are greeted with an array of bricks decorated with show logos, signatures, painted caricatures, and sometimes even 3D embellishments. These are the show bricks – a tribute to each cast that has trod the boards at The 5th and contributed to our incredible legacy of musical theater.

The bricks date back to 1980 and the national tour of Annie – the very first show to play at the theater after local business owners took it upon themselves to raise funds to save and renovate the aging playhouse. Legend has it that “Sandy,” Annie’s dog, lifted his leg on the wall backstage. The stain left on the wall can be seen to this day with the autograph “Love, Sandy” contributed by crew member Joe Poc. The cast felt that if Sandy got to leave his “mark,” then so did the rest of them. And so a tradition was born!

It began with simple signatures on a brick that grew into beautiful painted renditions of the logos. But as the easily accessible wall space began to fill up and the existing signatures on the porous bricks began to fade, our creative casts began to take these bricks to the next level.

With every production, a cast member is selected to create the brick. He or she is given a brick-sized piece of wood to paint, decorate, and embellish in whatever way is appropriate for the show, and the rest of the cast contributes signatures. At the end of each show, the new “brick” is mounted onto the wall, taking its place among the many productions that have made our theater a home to artists and audiences alike.
