Printed in the U.S.A. DEAR PATRONS © Carter Rose Welcome to the Winspear Opera House on the AT&T Performing Arts Center campus– where the gin is cold and the piano’s hot. Chicago is the longest-running American musical in Broadway history. And it’s not hard to see why: the vaudevillian jazz, Fosse’s iconic choreography, murder, sex… the perfect show for the holiday season! Next up in the AT&T Performing Arts Center’s Broadway Series is A Bronx Tale; followed by the Lincoln Center Theater production of Falsettos; the hilarious The Play That Goes Wrong; back by popular demand is Beautiful–The Carole King Musical; direct from London is Bat Out of Hell; then Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. All of these shows will be presented right here in the incomparable Winspear Opera House. But the AT&T Performing Arts Center is more than beautiful venues and great shows. For many students in this community, our education programs can be the beginning of a lifetime love of culture, or even a career in the arts. Some of our neighbors in North Texas face challenging circumstances, and through our Community Partners program, our shows can provide much-needed moments of solace and inspiration. But we simply cannot do it alone: by being a patron at the Center, you’re helping us share experiences like these. Thank you for spending some of your holiday season with us, and we’ll see you again soon!

Winner of six Tony Awards®, two Olivier Awards, a Grammy® and thousands of standing ovations, Chicago is Broadway‟s longest-running Musical Revival and the longest running American Musical every to play the West End. It is nearly a decade since the “story of murder, greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery and treachery” played in Australia.

Producer John Frost today announced his stellar cast: Caroline O’Connor as Velma Kelly, Sharon Millerchip as Roxie Hart, Craig McLachlan as Billy Flynn, and Gina Riley as Matron “Mama” Morton. “I‟m thrilled to bring back to the Australian stage this wonderful musical, especially with the extraordinary cast we have assembled. Velma Kelly is the role which took Caroline O‟Connor to Broadway for the first time, and her legion of fans will, I‟m sure, be overjoyed to see her perform it once again. Sharon Millerchip has previously played Velma in Chicago ten years ago, and since has won awards for her many musical theatre roles. She will be an astonishing Roxie. Craig McLachlan blew us all away with his incredible audition, and he‟s going to astound people with his talent as a musical theatre performer.

    10075 Commons Street • Lone Tree, Colorado 80124 • www.lonetreeartscenter.org Contact: Leigh Chandler, Marketing Director FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Phone: 720-509-1007 February 11, 2019 Fax: 720-509-1101 Email: [email protected] LONE TREE ARTS CENTER ANNOUNCES CREATIVE TEAM FOR BEEHIVE: THE 60’S MUSICAL, OPENING APRIL 3 Production Celebrates Outstanding Female Talent In Denver LONE TREE, CO – Continuing its tradition of producing professional, remarkable theatrical productions in the South Metro area, the Lone Tree Arts Center (LTAC) announces its stellar cast and crew for Larry Gallagher’s Beehive: The 60’s Musical, running April 3-13, 2019. LTAC favorite Candy Brown will direct and choreograph, with Michael Williams serving as Musical Director. The all-Denver cast features Sharon Kay White, Piper Arpan, Sheryl Renee, Karen Jeffries, Melody Moore, and Valerie Igoe, with Shannan Steele understudying. Beehive is a wild toe-tapping, head shakin’ musical tribute to the rockin’ women who made the music of the ’60s so special—everyone from Lesley Gore to Janis Joplin, from the Shirelles to the Supremes, Aretha Franklin to Tina Turner, and every woman in between! Featuring such timeless classics as “My Boyfriend’s Back,” “Be My Baby,” “You Can’t Hurry Love,” “Proud Mary,” and “Me and Bobby McGee,” Beehive recalls the days of miniskirts, transistor radios, and flower power. Told from the perspective of six young women who came of age in this enigmatic decade, these young ladies look back on a host of issues ranging from their first Beehive Dance to the challenges we faced as a nation – all accomplished by a vast array of the most celebrated and memorable songs of the era.

I went on to try my hand at writing for film and theater, producing talent, teaching theater at conservatories across the country, and offering my services as a judge and a motivational speaker at various international arts events, while leading the education department of Tony Randall's National Actors Theater for over twenty classical productions over eight years.

  • Broadway Starts to Rock: Musical Theater Orchestrations and Character, 1968-1975 By
    Broadway Starts to Rock: Musical Theater Orchestrations and Character, 1968-1975 By Elizabeth Sallinger M.M., Duquesne University, 2010 B.A., Pennsylvania State University, 2008 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Musicology and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Paul R. Laird Roberta Freund Schwartz Bryan Kip Haaheim Colin Roust Leslie Bennett Date Defended: 5 December 2016 ii The dissertation committee for Elizabeth Sallinger certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Broadway Starts to Rock: Musical Theater Orchestrations and Character, 1968-1975 Chair: Paul R. Laird Date Approved: 5 December 2016 iii Abstract In 1968, the sound of the Broadway pit was forever changed with the rock ensemble that accompanied Hair. The musical backdrop for the show was appropriate for the countercultural subject matter, taking into account the popular genres of the time that were connected with such figures, and marrying them to other musical styles to help support the individual characters. Though popular styles had long been part of Broadway scores, it took more than a decade for rock to become a major influence in the commercial theater. The associations an audience had with rock music outside of a theater affected perception of the plot and characters in new ways and allowed for shows to be marketed toward younger demographics, expanding the audience base. Other shows contemporary to Hair began to include rock music and approaches as well; composers and orchestrators incorporated instruments such as electric guitar, bass, and synthesizer, amplification in the pit, and backup singers as components of their scores.
