  • WONDERLAND': Kate Shindle (Center) As the Mad Hatter & the Ensemble in Wonderland
    DARK LADY IN 'WONDERLAND': Kate Shindle (center) as the Mad Hatter & the ensemble in Wonderland. Photo: Michal Daniel Theater Review Mind-numbing malice in Wonderland WONDERLAND Book by Gregory Boyd and Jack Murphy Lyrics by Jack Murphy Music by Frank Wildhorn Choreography by Marguerite Derricks Directed by Gregory Boyd. Marquis Theatre 1535 Broadway at 46th Street (877‐250‐2929), www.wonderlandonbroadway.com By Scott Harrah Have your kids been behaving badly? Punish them by taking them to this mind‐numbing mess of a Broadway musical. The White Rabbit has laid one big, stinking rotten egg of a show just in time for Easter, loosely based on Lewis Carroll’s classic children’s book, Alice in Wonderland. It is a shame indeed because so much could be done to make an imaginative, innovative musical adaptation of this timeless kid's story, but book writers Gregory Boyd and Jack Murphy and Broadway veteran composer Frank Wildhorn (of Jekyll & Hyde fame) fail on so many levels. The result is an excruciatingly painful, cringe‐inducing show that makes one’s jaw drop in stultifying amazement by how ill conceived the story is from beginning to end. We know we are in trouble in the show’s opener when grown‐up Alice (Janet Dacal, last seen on Broadway's In The Heights) appears on stage sporting dark leggings, a smock top with 1980s‐ style cinch belt and boots, and a frizzy hairstyle that makes her resemble pop‐rocker Pat Benatar in her MTV heyday. There is no doubt that Ms. Dacal is a gifted actor and great singer, but the material she is given with here wastes her talents.

The story written in 1868 relates a fictionalized account of its author’s young life with her sisters. While certain aspects of the story have been altered in this musical adaptation, the heart of the tale remains untouched. Four sisters of the March family: Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy come of age during the U.S. Civil War, while their father is away with the Union Army. Their mother, whom they affectionately call “Marmee,” nurtures and encourages these four strong-spirited young women to achieve their dreams. While this approach to raising children may be “conventional,” there is little “conventional” about her daughters. Jo, a tom-boyish writer, disregards social standards of how women should behave.

  • Low Male Voice Repertoire in Contemporary Musical Theatre: a Studio and Performance Guide of Selected Songs 1996-2020
    LOW MALE VOICE REPERTOIRE IN CONTEMPORARY MUSICAL THEATRE: A STUDIO AND PERFORMANCE GUIDE OF SELECTED SONGS 1996-2020 by Jeremy C. Gussin Submitted to the faculty of the Jacobs School of Music in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree, Doctor of Music Indiana University December 2020 Accepted by the faculty of the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Music Doctoral Committee __________________________________________ Ray Fellman, Research Director __________________________________________ Brian Gill, Chair __________________________________________ Jane Dutton __________________________________________ Peter Volpe December 10, 2020 ii Copyright © 2020 Jeremy Gussin iii Preface This project is intended to be a resource document for bass voices and teachers of low male voices at all levels. For the purposes of this document, I will make use of the established term low male voice (LMV) while acknowledging that there is a push for the removal of gender from voice classification in the industry out of respect for our trans, non-binary and gender fluid populations. In addition to analysis and summation of musical concepts and content found within each selection, each repertoire selection will include discussions of style, vocal technique, vocalism, and character in an effort to establish routes towards authenticity in the field of musical theatre over the last twenty five years. The explosion of online streaming and online sheet music resources over the last decade enable analysis involving original cast recordings, specific noteworthy performances, and discussions on transposition as it relates to the honoring of character and capability of an individual singer. My experiences with challenges as a young low voice (waiting for upper notes to develop, struggling with resonance strategies above a D♭4) with significant musicianship prowess left me searching for a musically challenging outlet outside of the Bel Canto aesthetic.

The musical weaves the plots of several fairy tales of brothers Grimm and Charles Perrault, exploring the consequences of the wishes and quests of the characters. The main characters are taken from Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the bean stalk, Rapunzel and Cinderella, as well as a number of others. The musical is connected with the story of the childless baker and his wife and their desire to create a family (the original beginning of the Rapunzel of the Brothers Grimm), their interaction with the witch, which imposes a curse on them, and their interaction with other characters of the collection of stories during their journey. The musical debuted in San Diego at the Old Globe Theater in 1986 and premiered on Broadway on November 5, 1987, where it won several Tony Awards, including best score, best book, and best actress in a musical (Joanna Gleeson), a year dominated by The Phantom of the Opera (1988).
