BSO Principal Pops Conductor Jack Everly Leads the BSO in “Do You Hear the People Sing?: Miss Saigon to Les Misérables,” April 19‐22 PRESS CONTACTS: Laura Farmer, 410.783.8024 [email protected] Alyssa Porambo, 410.783.8044 [email protected] BSO Principal Pops Conductor Jack Everly leads the BSO in “Do You Hear the People Sing?: Miss Saigon to Les Misérables,” April 19‐22 Baltimore, Md. (March 13, 2012) – Principal Pops Conductor Jack Everly leads the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and Baltimore Choral Arts Society in a concert featuring popular favorites from musicals such as Les Misérables and Miss Saigon on Thursday, April 19 at 8 p.m. at the Music Center at Strathmore, Friday, April 20 at 8 p.m., Saturday, April 21 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, April 22 at 3 p.m. at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall. Entitled “Do You Hear the People Sing,” this program celebrates music by two of the world’s most prolific writers of modern musical theatre, Alain Boublil and Claude‐Michel Schönberg, whose masterpiece Les Misérables is the longest‐running musical in the world. Also included in the program are selections from the award‐winning team’s shows Martin Guerre, Pirate Queen, and La Revolution Francaise. Please see below for complete program details. Based on a classical novel by Frenchman Victor Hugo, the cherished story of Les Misérables has captivated audiences for nearly a quarter century. The musical has been translated to 21 different languages among 41 countries and seen 43,000 professional performances to an estimated audience of 55 million people. Among its most memorable songs are “I Dreamed a Dream,” “On My Own,” “Bring Him Home” and “Do You Hear the People Sing.” Considered Schönberg and Boublil’s second major success, Miss Saigon is a modern retelling of Puccini’s Madame Butterfly – the American Lieutenant replaced by a GI, and Japanese geisha by a Vietnamese bar girl. The soul‐stirring story of Miss Saigon confronts such issues as war, love, family, and death. At its highly anticipated Broadway opening, the musical broke the Broadway record for advance ticket sales at $24 million. Also included on this program are selections from the award‐ winning shows Martin Guerre, Pirate Queen and La Revolution Francaise.

Chet Walker’s dances, which retain the pelvic thrust of Bob Fosse’s original choreography, are a viciously precise mockery of showbiz bump and grind, enacted by a sexy, sinister, improbably limber ensemble (in skintight carnival gear and medieval costumery). Circus elements created by Gypsy Snider—acrobatics, aerialism, contortionism, juggling, hula hoops—build momentum toward what the ringmaster assures us is “a climax you will remember for the rest of your lives.” That just might be true.

  • Sing a Musical Theatre Recital
    If! Sing A Musical Theatre Recital An Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) by Kevin M. McDaniel Thesis Advisor - Alexandra Christina Kocoshis Ball State University Muncie, Indiana April 2003 Expected Date of Graduation May 2004 - .;5pCo 1/ 1l1e :,i.s J-1) 215J - . Z4- Abstract A musical theatre recital is an unusual and creative project to undertake. While the majority of recitals are composed of classical works, a theatrical recital includes songs from the realm of musical theatre, and must include acting as well as the songs. It therefore develops a singer's vocal and physical performance. "If I Sing, " A Musical Theatre Recital was developed to expand and showcase my talents as a musical theatre major and performer. I chose songs that represented a variety of shows from the history of musical theatre, ranging from 1937 to the present. My goal was to educate those people who were not familiar with many musicals by helping them expand their knowledge of musicals. I did this by giving the audience members a tour of musical theatre history through the songs. Personally, my songs were choices that helped me expand my repertoire. While a few songs were ones that I have become accustomed to performing for years, most were songs that I have wanted to perform for a long while, but have never had the opportunity or reason. All the songs were personal favorites of mine, but were also songs that stretched me to my vocal limits. Several songs challenged me vocally, while others challenged my acting ability. Also, the recital was a challenge to sing.
