MUSICIANS AND MANAGEMENT 26 II PROGRAM | MUSICAL THEATRE GALA WELCOME

We play a huge variety of musical genres at Queensland Symphony Orchestra, so it's fortunate that many of us enjoy more than just classical music!

My first ever encounter with theatre was in fact some Gilbert and Sullivan operettas when I was in primary school. There was so much to take in: the colourful costumes, the movement and drama, but for me it was the orchestra in the pit that captivated me - so much so that I totally forgot to concentrate on the words of the songs! I came away from these experiences totally confused as to what it was all about, but riding high on the fun, the melodies and rhythmic drive, and of course the incredible sound of an orchestra creating so many different sounds and colours.

I have really enjoyed playing harp for a number of musicals over the course of my career. The harp is used extensively in today’s concert for its sparkling colour, its rhythmic punch, its agile accompaniment of the voice lines, and acting as the glue that combines all the orchestral forces. Joining the Orchestra on stage today are some incredible voices – Lorina Gore, Simon Gleeson, Nina Lippmann, and Hanlon Innocent.

I am very much looking forward to today’s program, in particular the excerpt from Schönberg’s brilliant music for Les Misérables. Thank you for joining us once more in the Concert Hall, and we hope you enjoy our tribute to Musical Theatre.

PROGRAM | MUSICAL THEATRE GALA 3 LISTENING GUIDE

Overture from Candide Leonard Bernstein It’s not a hyperbole to overstate how busy Bernstein was. At the same time as writing West Side Story, Bernstein was simultaneously sketching music for another project, Candide. His split attention didn’t detract from the quality of his work though, and music he sketched for one project, often ended up in the other - One Hand, One Heart was originally intended for Candide.

Conceived as a play with incidental music, adapted from the novella by Voltaire, Bernstein petitioned for the project to become a neo-Classical operetta. In contemporary opera circles, its three-month run was considered a runaway success, but in the world of Broadway, it was a dismal failure. Critics focussed their blame on the book, and spared Bernstein’s music.

The score developed a cult following when an album of the original cast recording was released. Over the next few decades a series of Candide revivals took place, with various levels of involvement by the composer. Throughout all of the iterations though, the joyous Overture, a sparkling homage to the wit of Rossini, remained largely untouched.

‘Tonight’ from West Side Story Leonard Bernstein Between the demands of his career as a pianist and conductor, it’s astonishing that Leonard Bernstein wrote such a significant catalogue of works. Especially when considering how time consuming the development of a musical is.

When it opened in 1957, this gritty retelling of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, had been in the works for a decade – including a period where it was called Gangway! Alongside Bernstein, the creative team was choreographer Jerome Robbins, and as a late addition, the promising protégé of Oscar Hammerstein, librettist Stephen Sondheim.

Tonight was the second-to-last song written for the show, after the previous melody was deemed too gentle, not reflective enough of the passion Tony and Maria would feel on their first night together. Stuck for fresh ideas, Bernstein and Sondheim instead turned to these character’s lines in the earlier Tonight Quintet, and simply expanded it into a stand- alone duet. The result is so completely effective that one cannot assume the melody wasn’t imagined in this form first.

4 PROGRAM | MUSICAL THEATRE GALA Overture, ‘Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again’ and ‘All I Ask of You’ from The Phantom of the Opera Andrew Lloyd-Webber In 1984, was well on his way to becoming the most commercially successful composer in history as declared by The New York Times. In the wake of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar, and Evita, he contacted his Cats co-producer Cameron Mackintosh with another new idea.

It would be a romantic piece based on a French novel and devised as a vehicle for his second wife, the soprano Sarah Brightman. Lloyd Webber was entranced by this gothic tale of an ingenious artist hiding in the catacombs of a Parisian opera house, helplessly in love with a young ingénue. Lloyd Webber wrote the musical around this character, Christine Daaé, giving her memorable and dramatic melodies like ‘Wishing you were somehow here again’, and the romantic duet, ‘All I Ask of You’ that also showcased the breadth of a soprano.

Lloyd Webber lent into the operatic inspiration, almost playfully sending up the serious form, with his cheeky operas-within-the-musical and penning a few notes that were later argued to be directly lifted from Puccini’s melodies. Most ubiquitous though, is the descending chromatic scale that figures so prominently in the Overture and signals the cloaked arrival of the enigmatic Phantom throughout the piece.

‘Out There’ from The Hunchback of Notre Dame Alan Menken In a round-about way, The Lion King is responsible for The Hunchback of Notre Dame making it to the stage. For several years, the Berlin Theatre had been in talks to stage the stage The Lion King, but when negotiations failed, Disney offered the rights to premiere the stage adaptation of the 1996 feature film in its place.Der Glöckner Von Notre Dame was granted a special license, to be performed exclusively in the one German theatre for its entire run, and didn’t transfer after it closed.

It took until 2013 for the development of an English-speaking production. The original creative team - Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz – reunited to flesh out further songs for the stage production. Fascinatingly, when seeking an authentic sound for the original soundtrack, producers travelled to London, not Paris, to record the English National Opera orchestra. For fellow music-movie buffs, if the voice of Quasimodo sounds eerily familiar, that’s because his songs were performed by Tom Hulce, who is perhaps most famous for his portrayal of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in the Academy Award nominated film,Amadeus.

‘Let it Go’ from Frozen Kirsten Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez The long incubation period for the musical Frozen, gives new meaning to the phrase ‘development hell’. 1937 is the year that Disney began exploring an animated film based on Hans Christian Andersen’s story The Snow Queen. Attempts to bring the project to life were made over the next seven decades, but it was only when Tangled was a huge success in 2011, that a new film version of the classic tale was greenlit.

Visions for a stage version were in the works even before it hit cinemas. The creative team Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez were signed on – tasked with extending the seven songs they’d delivered, into a staggering twenty-three. They’d already penned the earworm, ‘Let it Go’, a fierce anthem of independence belted out at the end of Act I. If at one point the melody felt impossible to escape, it’s warranted. Translated into 41 different languages, it was the first song from a Disney animated musical to reach the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 since 1995, since 'Colors of the Wind' climbed to number four.

‘The Carousel Waltz’ and ‘If I Loved You’ from Carousel Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II Hot off the heels of the roaring success of ‘Oklahoma!’, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein needed another hit. The paralysing pressure they felt wasn’t eased by their Hollywood friends. Rodgers recalls the film producer Samuel Goldwyn telling him to shoot himself, as that “was Sam’s blunt but funny way of telling me that I’d never create another show as good.”

After a period of deliberation, they settled on a 1909 French play by Ferenc Molnár, called Liliom. It was a big deal – Molnar had already turned down a request from Giacomo Puccini. Moving the plot from Budapest to the New England coast, the musical follows a carnival barker called Billy Bigelow, as he falls in love with millworker Julie Jordan. His foolish decision-making cuts their troubled relationship short, but then an opportunity provides a chance for Billy to make things right before it’s too late.

Although Carousel was the least commercially successful of Rogers and Hammerstein’s ‘Big Five’ musicals, it’s a mistake to think it’s a lesser piece. The beauty of the score is held in high regard, confirming its legacy as a classic. Stephen Sondheim claimed the bench scene, where the two first fall in love, was “probably the single most important moment in the revolution of contemporary musicals.”

6 PROGRAM | MUSICAL THEATRE GALA ‘Anthem’ and ‘I Know Him So Well’ from Chess Benny Andersson On paper, Chess is a beguiling proposition: a protagonist based loosely on the chess grandmaster Bobby Fischer, embroiled in a politically driven plot with lyrics by Tim Rice and music by half of ABBA. Despite this rich mix of ingredients, the original production and subsequent revivals have consistently struggled to make an impact as a theatrical experience. While the West End debut did survive for three years, the Broadway production closed after an abysmal two months, but critics raved about the music.

The concept of a Cold War musical was one that lyricist Tim Rice had long been ruminating on. When he devised the concept based on the long-standing chess rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union, he first approached his former collaborator, Andrew Lloyd-Webber. Due to the development of his project Cats, he passed, and the names Andersson and Ulvaeus were instead suggested.

For dedicated ABBA fans, the band’s influence can be heard in the score. The chorus of 'I Know Him So Well' was based on 'I Am An A', a song never officially released, but that circulates as a bootleg on the internet. More noticeably, the chorus of 'Anthem' borrows the chord progression from the guitar solo from ABBA’s better known hit, 'Our Last Summer'.

‘Bring Him Home’ from Les Misérables Claude-Michel Schönberg Les Miz as it’s now colloquially referred to, had a strange conception. The year was 1980, and in a Parisian sports arena, for three months, Claude Michel Schönberg and Alan Boubil presented a live show of their concept album based on Victor Hugo’s novel published in 1862, Les Misérables. It ran for three months, running at just over eighty- seven minutes, with thirty-two songs featuring sixteen principal singers. Three years later, hunting for his new project to replicate the success of Cats, the thirty-something producer Cameron Mackintosh decided he wanted to produce the piece for an English- speaking audience.

It’s a Herculean task to briefly summariseLes Misérables. At its core, the story follows the peasant Jean Valjean, who is searching for redemption after serving nineteen years in jail for stealing a loaf of bread for his niece. After deciding to break his parole, he’s mercilessly pursued by a police inspector named Javert. Generations of theatre goers have been entertained by the tale of these two characters, and the young idealists who are subsequently swept up in a French revolution. The London production is the longest- running West End musical of all time, totalling an astonishing 13,964 performances.

8 PROGRAM | MUSICAL THEATRE GALA Pictured: Warwick Adeney and Alan Smith ‘Defying Gravity’ from Wicked Stephen Schwartz Considering the musical’s wide claimed success, it’s a surprise to learn that Wicked was regarded as a wild card. The production based on the novel by Gregory Maguire is now cemented as a cultural phenomenon, responsible for catapulting stars Kristen Chenoweth and Idina Menzel into mainstream success, and for recruiting an audience of teenage fans belting out Defying Gravity in high school concerts around the world. The production though heralded composer Stephen Schwartz’s long-awaited return to Broadway.

After a gilded run in the 1970s with Pippin, Godspell, and The Magic Show, four of his musicals had all flopped, leading him to leave New York and lick his wounds in Hollywood where he wrote a series of soundtracks for Disney. But, Schwartz hadn’t lost his touch and won three Academy Awards in the process. After reading the novel, Schwartz approached the author to ask for dramatic rights, but he was too late – the story had already been signed over to Universal Pictures for a film. Schwartz passionately petitioned the studio, so much so that they agreed to the untitled musical.

‘Defying Gravity’, the extraordinary conclusion of Act I in the musical, was originally two songs – including one titled, ‘I Hope You’re Happy.’ Eagle-eared listeners might hear a few fragments in the final score. Musically, ‘Defying Gravity’ combines a number of leitmotifs for the first time. Two converge in ‘Defying Gravity’: firstly, the repeating syncopated orchestrated chords that announce Elphaba as a seemingly ‘wicked’ individual, and secondly, the ‘Unlimited’ motif, heard anytime Elphaba is considering her hopes for the future. In a lovely act of symmetry, Schwartz based the opening of this theme on the first seven notes of ‘Somewhere over the Rainbow.’
