To those of you who only know about 1961 from your history books, Welcome! Here are some of the events that shaped 1961: John Kennedy was inaugurated 35th President, 17-year-old Bobby Fischer won the US chess championship for the fourth time, Yuri Gagarin was the first man in space, and Alan Shepard made the first US space flight! Roger Maris hit 61 home runs, and the NY Yankees beat the Cincinnati Reds in the World Series. Steve Wozniak celebrated his 11rh birthday. The Berlin Wall was built, and the Peace Corps was created by President Kennedy. Popular songs were "Love Makes The World Go Round", "Moon River", "Where The Boys Are", "Where Have All The Flowers Gone!", "Calcutta", and "Exodus." Popular movies were "West Side Story", Academy Award win- ner for Best Picture, "Judgment At Nuremberg", "Parent Trap", "The Hus- tler", and "The Absent Minded Professor". Top-rated TV shows were "Gunsmoke", ''The Andy Griffith Show", "The Untouchables", "Bonanza", "Wagon Train" and "Hazel". Also on the air: "Dr. Kildare", "Mr. Ed" and "Wide World Of Sports". Joseph Heller's World War II satire "Catch 22" was published; the title quickly became part of the American lexicon. Harper Lee won a Pulitzer Prize for "To Kill a Mockingbird", Bob Dylan made his first concert appearance in Greenwich Village, Gary Cooper dies and Clark Gable's last film, "The Mis- fits", was released. On Broadway, the Tony-Award winning musical was "Bye, Bye Birdie" and the winning play was "Becket". Richard Burton won Best Actor in a Musical for "Camelot". IBM introduced the IBM Selectric Typewriter and the FDA approved acetarniniphen. Inventions included the electric toothbrush and Valium! Americans were trying to lose weight with Metrecal, the liquid diet in a can. The population in San Jose was 204,196 (today: 873,300). The popula- tion in the United States was 178,464,236 (today: 269,228,542). Then, 38% of all women worked outside the home compared to 60% today. 1961 was also the year that "How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying" opened on Broadway. It went on to win the Pulitzer Prize for drama and Tony awards for Best Musical, Best Director, and Best Actor in a Musical in 1962. 2 A Note from the Director How to Succeed ... is based on Shepherd Mead's 1954 send-up of the business world at that time. Frank Loesser andAbe Bur- rows developed Mead's ideas into a delightful, satirical theater piece complete with musical numbers that exaggerate office life. This show is not to be taken seriously. It is a farce. It is a commentary on what life in the business world was like in 1961. It's fun to see how much we've changed -and how much we really haven't! The look and feel of this production of How to Succeed ... has been carefully chosen to convey the period as well as the tone of the show. We've also tried to use as many actual clothes from the period as possible; this, combined with our concept, has led to our color choices for scenes. So you can appreciate our subtleties, here's what you'll see: before Finch joins World Wide Wicket, it is just a black-and-white-world, not a whole lot of color,not much life! Soon we see ourWWW employees move to that non-committal color: beige, which reflects so well their various"Coffee"moods. Our ladies begin the second act "green with envy", and all, in our happy-ever-after ending, through Finch's influence at www, are in living color! In the recent Broadway revival, Walter Cronkite was the Book Voice. Since we're doing this show in Silicon Valley,where so many have succeeded in business, I definitely wanted some- one for our Book Voice who was clearly identified with the business and success of tills valley. I am thrilled that our Book Voice is none other than Steve Wozniak! So, now, sit back and enjoy the view and the journey back to a time when a computer was the size of a large room!

Cy Feuer was at the center of these creations, as well as the films based on two of Broadway s most exceptional musicals, Cabaret and A Chorus Line. He was the man in charge, the one responsible for putting everything together, and almost more important for holding it together. Now, at age 92, as Cy Feuer looks back on the remarkable career he had on Broadway and in Hollywood, the stories he has to tell of the people he worked with are fabulously rich and entertaining.

  • Jo April 2019.PPP
    An alphabetical listing of her studio recordings, including recording dates, matrix numbers and, when known, dates first issued. Compiled by Jim Marshall, and updated April 2019 I first produced a Jo Stafford discography ‘way back in 1995, encouraged by the late Tom Colborn who probably knew more about Jo’s career than the lady herself. Tom had already done much of the groundwork and, knowing that I’d acquired a computer - an early Amstrad - suggested that I take over the task. I was well into my research when the indispensable "In Tune" magazine started publishing its own in-depth listing of Jo’s huge catalogue of recordings. The work put into that by Brian Henson, Colin Morgan, Robert W. Rice and others was an immeasurable help. My thanks also go to Ken Seavor, John Ridgeway, Lucas Tuinstra, Jeff Lasbury and Ray Purslow plus, of course Jo Stafford and Paul Weston , all of whom contributed to Tom’s original research. More recently I’ve had important help from Michel Ruppli, Tim Weston, Robert Rice, Richard Weize and Adam Daff resulting in what I like to think is an almost “complete" alphabetical listing of Jo’s commercial recordings, including her work with the Pied Pipers and her alter egos, Cinderella G. Stump and Darlene Edwards, not forgetting Jonathan! (Apologies if I’ve forgotten anyone!) Apart from a handful of never-ever issued Capitol and Columbia tracks, almost all Jo’s studio recordings seem to have been reissued on CD and are probably still in print. In fact, the seemingly relentless reissue of Stafford CDs, mainly in the UK, is proof, if proof was needed, of the lady’s long-lasting popularity.

Jon Tracy (Berkeley Playhouse, Aurora Theatre Company, Shotgun Players, San Francisco Playhouse, Magic Theatre) helms this musical from the Golden Age of Broadway, featuring a cast of 22, and choreography by Chris Black (Berkeley Playhouse, Aurora Theatre Company). GUYS AND DOLLS plays March 21 through April 28 (Press opening: March 23) at the Julia Morgan Theatre in Berkeley. For tickets ($17-60) and more information, the public may visit berkeleyplayhouse.org or call 510-845-8542x351. This oddball romantic comedy, about which Newsweek declared, “This is why Broadway was born!,” finds gambler Nathan Detroit desperate for money to pay for his floating crap game. To seed his opportunity, he bets fellow gambler Sky Masterson a thousand dollars that Sky will not be able to make the next girl he sees, Save a Soul Mission do-gooder Sarah Brown, fall in love with him. While Sky eventually convinces Sarah to be his girl, Nathan fights his own battles with Adelaide, his fiancé of 14 years. Often called “the perfect musical,” GUYS AND DOLLS features such bright and brassy songs as “A Bushel and a Peck” “Luck Be a Lady,” and “Adelaide's Lament.” GUYS AND DOLLS premiered on Broadway in 1950; directed by renowned playwright and director George S.

  • ABOUT the SHOW When Guys and Dolls Premiered on Broadway in 1950, Some of the Characters and Storylines May Have Seemed Familiar to Audience Members
    At MUSIC CIrCUS ABOUT THE SHOW When Guys and Dolls premiered on Broadway in 1950, some of the characters and storylines may have seemed familiar to audience members. That’s because the show was based on the popular short stories of Damon Runyon. Runyon wrote many short stories, most of which focused on gamblers in the world of 1940s New York and are notable for their blend of highly formal language and slang. Producers Cy Feuer and Ernie Martin were fans of Runyon’s work and sought to turn his story “The Idyll of Miss Sarah Brown” into a musical. Frank ORIGINAL CAST OF GUYS AND DOLLS BY AL HIRSCHFELD, 1950. Loesser was hired to write the music and lyrics, while Jo Swerling In the years since its premiere, there have been four was selected to write the book.
