Show Information SHOW INFORMATION www.DISENCHANTEDmusical.com THE STORY “Riotous! [DISENCHANTED!] boasts side splitting performances by a talented ensemble. Walt Disney would spin in his grave.” – New York Post DISENCHANTED! is the hit new musical comedy featuring Snow White and her princess posse, who've had it up to their crowns with being portrayed as helpless damsels in distress. (The Abbey Theatre, Orlando 2013; Hannah Berry-Matthews as ‘Sleeping Beauty’ & Michelle Knight as ‘Snow White’; photo by The Bokeh Studio) Snow White is joined by Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, Hua Mulan, Belle, Pocahontas, and their friends as they perform a theme park show of their own which skewers and pokes fun at today's pop princess culture, proving that happily ever after is a royal pain! “You'll be enchanted with [DISENCHANTED!]! Its concepts, conceits and songs appealed to everyone in a demographically mixed audience, regardless of ages, sexual orientation, ethnic background, height or weight … packed with a roaring, cheering audience. As for the performers, they are superstardom bound! - Myra Chanin, Huffington Post (Michelle Knight as ‘Snow White’; photo by KH Photographics) 2 CAST OF CHARACTERS The characters in DISENCHANTED! are played by women of all shapes, sizes, ages and ethnicities. All women are princesses, whether they fit the paradigm of the animated film princess genre or not. These women are not damsels in distress – each of them is an original storybook princess with a healthy dose of modern-day woman: independent and determined. SNOW WHITE Brassy and ballsy, sassy and self-assured; she is the leader of the Princess pack who likes to be in control. She is equal parts serious- minded, sexy, and fun-loving. With her skin as white as snow and lips cherry red, she aspires to be perfect in all that she does but soon realizes that being perfectly ‘you’ is more important. (photo: Michelle Knight by KH Photographics) CINDERELLA Perky and quirky; a bit ditzy, she is always enthusiastic – especially when it comes to being a real-life princess. She’s a happy-go- lucky girl who is about to discover that there’s more to being a princess than gowns and glass slippers. (photo: Breanne Pickering by KH Photographics) SLEEPING BEAUTY The perfect comic foil to Snow White’s perfect ‘straight-man.’ Always the cut-up, she brings a flippant unpredictability to the evening’s festivities. She’s a comical bull in a china shop. Some would prefer she fit into the stereotype of a perfect princess but she’d rather break the mold and be perfectly herself. (photo: Hannah Berry-Matthews by KH Photographics) BELLE / THE LITTLE MERMAID / RAPUNZEL Playing the role of three princesses: a smart, witty French girl from classic lit driven crazy by the misrepresentation of her image in pop culture; an innocent, obedient young woman who has given up everything she has just to net a man; and a rough-and-tumble German v’oman bent on getting her fair share in life. (photo: Kali Rabult by Rob-Harris) 3 HUA MULAN / PRINCESS BADROULBADOUR / POCAHONTAS Playing the role of three princesses: an Asian yet Americanized, shy yet out-going gal, a walking dichotomy of masculinity and femininity; the ultimate exploited girl who is a blend of the innocent Powhatan tyke from history and the buxom babe from today’s pop princess culture; and the spunky princess from the Aladdin story tired of being secondary in her own tale. (photo: Lulu Picart by KH Photographics) THE PRINCESS WHO KISSED THE FROG Forgotten and left out of the kingdom for many years, this empowered African-American woman has now arrived on the scene as a feisty, fabulous storybook princess! She is the ultimate supreme diva in the land and she’s ready to take the world by storm! (photo: Ericka Dunlap by Rob-Harris) “I had to wipe away the tears of laughter from my eyes. I will see this one AGAIN and AGAIN!” - BroadwayWorld “Clever from start to finish and, at its best moments, intellectually stimulating.” - Bradenton Herald “The songs are all incredible …there are too many highlights to pick just one!” - Disney Dispatch “Now’s your chance to catch a show that deserves a bigger life, whether it’s in New York or anywhere the celluloid Disney princesses have paved the way!” - On Theatre “A laugh out loud joy ride of bouncy melodies goosed with plenty of snark, wit and cleverly delivered message of female empowerment!” - Bradenton Herald 4 HOW IT ALL BEGAN What would the ‘real’ Pocahontas, a circa 1616 ten year old, rough and tumble Powhatan girl, think of the 1995 Pocahontas – a deer pelt, lingerie clad, twenty something with a mane of long, flowing hair? That’s what creator, Dennis Giacino, an ex-history teacher, often wondered. A musician at heart, Giacino created a musical number skewering the princess pop culture that transformed Pocahontas from a revered American-turned-British princess into the pin-up girl vixen from the movies. Soon Giacino found himself finding a number of ‘princesses’ with similar complaints and DISENCHANTED! was born. The show was written over a three year period in Vancouver BC, Portland OR, Orlando FL and New York City. Giacino first heard the piece aloud at a Reading in NYC in 2009, which led to a performance a year later as a part of the New Jersey Playwrights Contest, which the show won in 2010. In the spring of 2011, it started sold-out runs at the Orlando International Fringe Theatre Festival, where it was extended, and won the 2011 Producer’s Award. With such acclaim immediately reaching the internet, Giacino licensed the piece to other theaters in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Florida, all receiving the same accolades – sold-out runs, extensions and standing ovations! Now the show is set to make its way to a larger audience on a grander scale. Join us as we take this all-female musical and turn Off-Broadway audiences upside down in complete laughter. “A Tour de Force of Composition and Pacing!” - Orlando Weekly (Photos: The Abbey Theatre, Orlando FL, Fall 2013 by The Bokeh Studio.

  • 1967: a Year in the Life of the Beatles
    1967: A Year In The Life Of The Beatles History, Subjectivity, Music Linda Engebråten Masteroppgave ved Institutt for Musikkvitenskap UNIVERSITETET I OSLO November 2010 Acknowledgements First, I would like to express my gratitude towards my supervisor Stan Hawkins for all his knowledge, support, enthusiasm, and his constructive feedback for my project. We have had many rewarding discussions but we have also shared a few laughs about that special music and time I have been working on. I would also like to thank my fellow master students for both useful academically discussions as much as the more silly music jokes and casual conversations. Many thanks also to Joel F. Glazier and Nancy Cameron for helping me with my English. I thank John, Paul, George, and Ringo for all their great music and for perhaps being the main reason I begun having such a big interest and passion for music, and without whom I may not have pursued a career in a musical direction at all. Many thanks and all my loving to Joakim Krane Bech for all the support and for being so patient with me during the course of this process. Finally, I would like to thank my closest ones: my wonderful and supportive family who have never stopped believing in me. This thesis is dedicated to my grandparents. There are places I'll remember All my life though some have changed. Some forever not for better Some have gone and some remain. All these places have their moments With lovers and friends I still can recall. Some are dead and some are living, In my life I've loved them all.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Reading Rupaul's Drag Race
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Reading RuPaul’s Drag Race: Queer Memory, Camp Capitalism, and RuPaul’s Drag Empire A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance by Carl Douglas Schottmiller 2017 © Copyright by Carl Douglas Schottmiller 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Reading RuPaul’s Drag Race: Queer Memory, Camp Capitalism, and RuPaul’s Drag Empire by Carl Douglas Schottmiller Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor David H Gere, Chair This dissertation undertakes an interdisciplinary study of the competitive reality television show RuPaul’s Drag Race, drawing upon approaches and perspectives from LGBT Studies, Media Studies, Gender Studies, Cultural Studies, and Performance Studies. Hosted by veteran drag performer RuPaul, Drag Race features drag queen entertainers vying for the title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar.” Since premiering in 2009, the show has become a queer cultural phenomenon that successfully commodifies and markets Camp and drag performance to television audiences at heretofore unprecedented levels. Over its nine seasons, the show has provided more than 100 drag queen artists with a platform to showcase their talents, and the Drag Race franchise has expanded to include multiple television series and interactive live events. The RuPaul’s Drag Race phenomenon provides researchers with invaluable opportunities not only to consider the function of drag in the 21st Century, but also to explore the cultural and economic ramifications of this reality television franchise. ii While most scholars analyze RuPaul’s Drag Race primarily through content analysis of the aired television episodes, this dissertation combines content analysis with ethnography in order to connect the television show to tangible practices among fans and effects within drag communities.

  • Seoul City Guide
    Seoul City Guide Page | 1 Seoul Seoul (서울) is the capital of South Korea. With a population of over 10.5 million, Seoul is by far South Korea's largest city and one of East Asia's financial and cultural epicenters. Understand With over 10 million people, a figure that doubles if you include neighboring cities and suburbs, Seoul is the largest city in South Korea and unquestionably the economic, political and cultural hub of the country. By some measures it is the second largest urban agglomeration on the planet, after Greater Tokyo. Situated between Shanghai and Tokyo and bordered by the impenetrable Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to the north, the South Korean capital is sometimes overlooked by travelers. However, Seoul is an exciting location in its own right, not to mention cheaper than its rivals and incredibly safe. With beautiful palaces, great food and a shopping nightlife, Seoul is a frenetic way to experience the Asia of old and new. Historically there is evidence for settlement in this area as far as 18 BC but Seoul as the capital city of South Korea has a history back to the 14th century. Originally named Hanseong (한성; 漢城), the city was the capital of the Joseon Dynasty from 1392 to 1910, when Korea was occupied by the Japanese. The Joseon Dynasty built most of Seoul's most recognisable landmarks, including the Five Grand Palaces and Namdaemun. After the Japanese surrender in 1945, the city was re-named to its current name, Seoul. Since the establishment of the Republic of Korea in 1948, Seoul has been the capital of South Korea.
