On that Friday evening at 7:30pm, Cheyenne Jackson will become the first male headliner to be featured in the fabulous Broadway @ NOCCA series who’s not wearing a dress for the occasion. The sound of a glass ceiling crashing is a wonderful thing. I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Jackson from his home in Los Angeles and he comes off as decent a person on the inside as he is handsome on the outside. The trip here for B@N will be his first visit to New Orleans. ”I’m excited about coming to New Orleans and wish I had more time to spend there,” Jackson said, “but I’m busy with various projects [he had just Cheyenne Jackson gotten back from working in Arizona] (Photo by Adam Bouska) and I just got married.” Sorry, guys, but While the show was in previews, Jason Landau’s the lucky one.

  • The Tenth Muse: Cinema a Décima Musa
    Nunt. Antiquus, Belo Horizonte, v. 15, n. 1, p. 155-184, 2019 The Tenth Muse: Cinema A décima Musa: Cinema Martin M. Winkler George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia / United States [email protected] Abstract: In Classical Antiquity, the nine Muses were the patron goddesses of all arts and sciences and the inspiration for creative minds, especially poets. With the march of technology until today, their realm has significantly expanded. Jean Cocteau, among others, added a tenth Muse to the original nine: that of the cinema. This article surveys various films in which one or more of the Muses play major parts; it also pays homage to the actresses who portray them and to others who may be regarded as their screen relatives. Keywords: classical mythology; films about antiquity; Hesiod; Homer; Muses in film; Polyhymnia; Terpsichore. Resumo: Na Antiguidade Clássica, as nove Musas eram as deusas patronas de todas as artes e ciências e a inspiração para as mentes criativas, especialmente a dos poetas. Com o desenvolvimento da tecnologia até hoje, seu reino se expandiu significativamente. Jean Cocteau, entre outros, adicionou uma décima Musa às nove originais: o cinema. Este artigo inspeciona vários filmes nos quais uma ou mais das Musas têm um papel representativo; e também homenageia as atrizes que as interpretam e as que podem ser vistas como suas parentes na tela. Palavras-chave: mitologia clássica; filmes sobre a antiguidade; Hesíodo; Homero; Musas no cinema; Polímnia; Terpsícore. Mênin aeide, thea and Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, polytropon: these words open our oldest works of literature, Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey.
