OVER THE RAINBOW (FROM “THE WIZARD OF OZ”) Written by: Harold Arlen & E. Y. Harburg | Published by: EMI Music What a treat to hear Louise Dearman sing such wonderful songs. The music of Andrew Lloyd Webber, Stephen Sondheim, Jule Styne, Harold Arlen as a starter. The lyrics of Don Black, Ed Kleban, E.Y. Harburg and Bob Merrill as an entrée and to top it off, the beautiful presence and warm sounds of “Lou”. Better than any pudding! I had the pleasure of conducting for Louise with the BBC CONCERT ORCHESTRA in a tribute to Marvin Hamlisch. Marvin would have been so pleased to know that his songs were being sung as he would’ve wished. Louise’s interpretive skills along with her effortless instrument and understanding of lyrics make her an artist to be reckoned with. To have all of these skills and to be nice to work with makes for a remarkable and winning combination. When you listen to Louise sing these songs, you know you are hearing them the way the composer/lyricist meant for them to be. Louise’s understanding of music and lyric is definitive. Only a few times in my life have I been dazzled by talent. Barbra Streisand, Elaine Paige, Maria Friedman, Bernadette Peters, Betty Buckley, Michael Crawford, John Barrowman, Michael Ball, and now... Louise Dearman.

  • The Tony-Award-Winning Creators of Les Misérables and Miss Saigon
    Report on the January-February 2017 University of Virginia Events around Les Misérables Organized by Professor Emeritus Marva Barnett Thanks to the generous grant from the Arts Endowment, supported by the Provost’s Office Course Enhancement Grant connected to my University Seminar, Les Misérables Today, the University of Virginia hosted several unique events, including the world’s first exhibit devoted to caricatures and cartoons about Victor Hugo’s epic novel and the second UVA artistic residency with the award-winning creators of the world’s longest-running musical—artists who have participated in no other artistic residencies. These events will live on through the internet, including the online presence of the Les Misérables Just for Laughs scholarly catalogue and the video of the February 23 conversation with Boublil and Schönberg. Les Misérables Just for Laughs / Les Misérables Pour Rire Exhibit in the Rotunda Upper West Oval Room, Jan. 21-Feb. 28 Before it was made into over fifty films and an award-winning musical, Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables was a rampant best seller when it appeared in 1862. The popular cartoonists who had caricatured Hugo for thirty years leapt at the chance to satirize his epic novel. With my assistance and that of Emily Umansky (CLAS/Batten ’17), French Hugo specialist Gérard Pouchain mounted the first-ever exhibit of original publications of Les Misérables caricatures— ranging from parodies to comic sketches of the author with his characters. On January 23, at 4:00 p.m. he gave his illustrated French presentation, “La caricature au service de la gloire, ou Victor Hugo raconté par le portrait-charge,” in the Rotunda Dome Room to approximately 25 UVA faculty and students, as well as Charlottesville community members associated with the Alliance Française.

Frank Baum Berkeley, CA (June 5, 2013) – Berkeley Playhouse closes its fifth season with the Tony Award-winning musical THE WIZ. Kimberly Dooley (Lucky Duck, Seussical, The Musical, Once On This Island) directs and choreographs this soulful re-imagining of L. Frank Baum’s family classic The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, featuring a cast of 46. THE WIZ plays July 13 through August 25 (Press opening: July 13) at the Julia Morgan Theater in Berkeley. For tickets ($17-60) and more information, the public may visit berkeleyplayhouse.org or call 510-845-8542x351. In THE WIZ, Dorothy gets swept away by a tornado and ends up in the land of Oz. There, she learns that the only way she can get home again is to see the magical Wiz in the Emerald City. Along the way, she meets a Scarecrow made of garbage who wants a brain, a Tin Man who wants a heart, and a Lion who wants courage, and together they set off down the Yellow Brick Road to seek help from the all-powerful Wiz. This stage classic about the power of believing in yourself features such soul-stirring songs as “Home,” “The Feeling We Once Had,” “If You Believe,” “No Bad News,” and “Ease On Down the Road.” THE WIZ opened on Broadway in 1975 and closed in 1979, after four years and 1,672 performances.
