Meredith Willson’s musical comedy has been delighting audiences since 1957 and is sure to entertain every generation. Harold Hill is a traveling con man, set to pull a fast one on the people of River City, Iowa, by promising to put together a boys band and selling instruments — despite the fact he knows nothing about music. His plan is thwarted as he catches the eye of Marian, the town’s librarian, who sets out to make him an honest man.

With songs by Grammy and Tony Award-winning pop icon Cyndi Lauper, this joyous musical celebration is about the friendships we discover, and the belief that you can change the world when you change your mind. Inspired by true events, KINKY BOOTS takes you from a gentlemen’s shoe factory in Northampton to the glamorous catwalks of Milan. Charlie Price is struggling to live up to his father’s expectations and continue the family business of Price & Son. With the factory’s future hanging in the balance, help arrives in the unlikely but spectacular form of Lola, a fabulous performer in need of some sturdy new stilettos. With direction and choreography by two-time Tony Award-winner Jerry Mitchell (Legally Blonde, Hairspray), a book by Broadway legend and four-time Tony Award-winner Harvey Fierstein (La Cage Aux Folles) and songs by Grammy and Tony Award-winning pop icon Cyndi Lauper, KINKY BOOTS is the winner of six Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Choreography. Take a step in the right direction and discover that sometimes the best way to fit in is to stand out. “There is no show hotter than KINKY BOOTS!” – CBS News A CHORUS LINE March 16-18, 2018 Winner of nine Tony Awards, including “Best Musical” and the Pulitzer Prize for drama, this singular sensation is one of the most treasured American Broadway musicals ever.

  • Legally Blonde: Introduction
    Being true to yourself never goes out of style! WINNER BEST NEW MUSICAL 2011 OLIVIER AWARD EDUCATION KIT AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE SEASON • SYDNEY LYRIC LegallyBlonde.com.au facebook.com/ legallyblondemusical @legallyblondeoz Legally Blonde: INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION This teacher’s guide has been developed as a teaching tool to assist teachers who are bringing their students to see the show. This guide is based on Camp Broadway’s StageNOTES, conceived for the original Broadway musical adaptation of Amanda Brown’s 2001 novel and the film released that same year, and has been adapted for use within the UK and Australia. The Australian Education Pack is intended to offer some pathways into the production, and focuses on some of the topics covered in Legally Blonde which may interest students and teachers. It is not an exhaustive analysis of the musical or the production, but instead aims to offer a variety of stimuli for debate, discussion and practical exploration. It is anticipated that the Education Pack will be best utilised after a group of students have seen the production with their teacher, and can engage in an informed discussion based on a sound awareness of the musical. We hope that the information provided here will both enhance the live theatre experience and provide readers with information they may not otherwise have been able to access. Legally Blonde is an uplifting, energising, feel-good show and with that in mind we hope this pack will be enjoyed through equally energising and enjoyable practical work in the classroom and drama studio. 1 Legally Blonde: INTRODUCTION LEgally Blonde Education Pack CONTENTS PAGE INTODUCTION 1.

  • Director's Notes
    DIRECTOR’S NOTES Thoughts on LEGALLY BLONDE The musical Legally Blonde is based on a novel by Amanda Brown and the 2001 film of the same name directed by Robert Luketic. The film was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture: Musical or Comedy and ranks 29th on Bravo’s 2007 list of “100 Funniest Movies.” Premiering on January 23, 2007 in San Francisco, the Broadway musical version of Legally Blonde opened in NYC at the Palace Theatre on April 29, 2007. The show’s stars, Laura Bell Bundy, Christian Borle, and Orfeh were all nominated for Tony Awards. Later, the Broadway show was the focus of an MTV reality TV series called “Legally Blonde – The Musical: The Search for Elle Woods,” in which the winner would take over the role of Elle on Broadway. The Broadway show closed on October 19, 2008 after 595 performances. But even more successful than the Broadway run of Legally Blonde, was a highly lauded 3 year run at the Savoy Theatre in London’s West End, in which the show was nominated for five Laurence Olivier Awards. It won three, including Best New Musical. Since then, Legally Blonde has enjoyed international success in productions seen in South Korea, The Netherlands, France, The Philippines, Sweden, and Finland. Certainly, it is undeniable that both film and musical are pure escapist joy. But Legally Blonde does have a point beyond its camp wondrousness – and that is to challenge the way people make assumptions about appearance. For whether you are a beautiful bubbly blonde (like our heroine, Elle) or someone more “serious” in nature, we all have had to, at one time or another, battle prejudice against ourselves.

  • The Jean Thomas Story—Part 3
    The Jean Thomas Story—Part 3 Jean Thomas worked with many top producers during the 1960s but the one who cre- ated her best known work and who perhaps brought the best out of her vocal talent was Bob Crewe. Bob Crewe had a special talent himself and was a highly respected producer Jean’s good friend Ellie Greenwich had a good relation- ship with Bob Crewe and commented on his ability and on how they first met in an interview before her untimely passing in 2009….. "I'm not exactly sure when I met Bob Crewe, but we always saw each other around the business from the very beginning. (We) had an affinity for each other (and) still do! He was a joy to work with on all levels . he's a perfectionist, he's open to any outside ideas, he really knows what he wants and gets it, and most of all, he is passionate about what he does. He puts all of himself into eve- rything he touches . I always loved and still do love Bob! I can go on and on about this talented gentleman, and he is just that: A 'gentle man'." Mick Patrick and Malcolm Baumgart captured the best of Bob Crewe’s productions on “The DynoVoice Story….the label that had to happen” Westside CD226 and say of his unique- ness …..“Bob Crewe is not a man to be easily pigeon-holed. Possessed by an overriding creative urge from his earliest years, he has painted , worked as a photographic model, sculpted, acted,run an art gallery and dabbled in interior design alongside those talents for which he is justly renowned – ie singer, songwriter, producer, label owner, music publisher and manager.” The best of his productions of course include those of Jean Tho- mas.

The topic of this symposium is "Law, Information and Freedom of Expression." This Article will examine the first two of these topics but will only touch upon the third in the sense that I will speak without fear. Given the fact that the addition of the one millionth volume to the collection of the University of Minnesota Law Library is the catalyst for this proceeding, an examination of the soul of the law library is appropriate. The law library is a mom and apple pie type of institution. Mom and apple pie institutions are those that are much hon- ored and praised but largely taken for granted. As a testament to this status, libraries often are lauded but are seldom studied.
