  • New Studio on Broadway: Music Theatre and Acting
    ® ® 2019 CELEBRATING JIMMY NEDERLANDER James M. Nederlander or “Jimmy,” Chairman of The Nederlander Organization, was the visionary theatrical impresario who built one of the largest private live entertainment companies in the world known for producing and presenting world-class entertainment since 1912. Jimmy started working in the theatre at age 7 sweeping floors for his father, David Tobias (D.T.) Nederlander, in Detroit, Michigan. During a career that spanned over 70 years, Jimmy amassed a network of premier legitimate theatres including nine on Broadway: the Brooks Atkinson, Gershwin, Lunt-Fontanne, Marquis, Minskoff, Nederlander, Neil Simon, Richard Rodgers, and the world famous Palace; in Los Angeles: The Pantages; in London: the Adelphi, Aldwych, and Dominion; and in Chicago: the Auditorium, Broadway Playhouse, Cadillac Palace, and CIBC Theatres, and the Oriental Theatre which this year was renamed the James M. Nederlander Theatre in Jimmy’s honor. He produced over one hundred acclaimed Broadway musicals and plays including Annie, Applause, La Cage aux Folles, Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Me and My Girl, Nine, Noises Off, Peter Pan, Sweet Charity, The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickelby, The Will Rogers Follies, Woman of the Year, and many more. “Generous,” “loyal” and “trusted” are just a few of the accolades his friends use to describe him. Jimmy was beloved by the industry and the recipient of many distinguished honors including an Honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts from the University of Connecticut (2014), the Exploring the Arts Foundation Award (2014), the United Nations Foundation Champion Award (2012), The Broadway League’s Schoenfeld Vision for Arts Education Award (2011), the New York Pop’s Man of the Year (2008), and the special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement (2004).

    P R E S S R E L E A S E From: Clear Space Theatre Company Contact: Wesley Paulson Phone: 302.227.2270 Email: [email protected] JUNE 16 2017: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Come learn what Devon Frieder (Val), Andrew Cuccaro (Bobby) and Abigail Matsusaka (Enid) did for love, as Clear Space Theatre’s summer repertory season opens Tuesday, June 27, with A CHORUS LINE! Watch as they audition for a Broadway chorus – and allow us glimpses of their inner lives, fragile hopes and poignant ambitions. Filled with well-known – and much-loved – classics like “At the Ballet” and “I Hope I Get It,” A CHORUS LINE delivers the perfect ending to a perfect day at the beach. Next up on the season’s three-show roster: LEGALLY BLONDE, opening Friday, June 30! Join Elle (Frieder) as she transforms herself from Malibu party girl to law school legend and tries to win back the man who rejected her – but will she still even want him?! THE LITTLE MERMAID, opening Wednesday, July 5, completes the season’s rotating musical trio. Based on Hans Christian Anderson’s beloved story - and the animated Disney movie – THE LITTLE MERMAID brings us a tale (tail?) of wave-washed lovers, duplicitous sea folk and some unlikely friends who come flying, scuttling or swimming to the rescue. Join Ariel (Frieder) as she seeks to win Prince Eric’s love and Flounder (Cuccaro) as he helps her in her struggle to achieve – what else? A fairy tale ending! Says Wesley Paulson, Clear Space’s Executive Director, “This season has something for everyone! A CHORUS LINE is a classic musical, THE LITTLE MERMAID offers a show for all ages, and LEGALLY BLONDE beings a modern musical show to the stage.
