  • Jeremy Jordan
    Jeremy Jordan Jeremy Jordan was born and raised in Corpus Christi, Texas. He was always a singer, but at the age of 17, he accidentally fell in love with acting when cast as The Mute in the musical, The Fantasticks. After high school, Jeremy went on to study drama at Ithaca College and moved to New York City after graduating in 2007. After about a year of catering and waiting tables, he began to book some regional theatre work, and in early 2009, landed his first Broadway show, Rock of Ages. He was a swing, understudying several roles including the lead. In December of 2009, he left Rock of Ages to play Tony in Broadway's West Side Story. After West Side Story, Jeremy traveled to Sarasota, Florida to play Clyde Barrow opposite Laura Osnes in Bonnie & Clyde. He then headed to Atlanta, Georgia to shoot his first feature film, “Joyful Noise,” opposite Dolly Parton and Queen Latifah. Todd Graff, who wrote and directed the film, decided to cast him in the movie after coincidentally attending Jeremy's very first performance as the lead in Rock of Ages. In the fall of 2011, Jeremy fulfilled a childhood dream when he was cast as Jack Kelly in Disney's world premiere production of Newsies at Paper Mill Playhouse in New Jersey. He played Jack at night, and during the day rehearsed Bonnie & Clyde, which was coming to Broadway shortly after Newsies finished its regional run. Bonnie & Clyde opened on Broadway in November, 2011 but sadly would close after only 69 performances.

  • Nbc Smash & the Voice
    NBC SMASH & THE VOICE Problem: How does a network drive viewership in a highly competitive time slot? Solution: Use digital OOH formats to blanket the market on the air date to keep the shows top of mind. BACKGROUND NBC wanted to ensure high viewer rates for the second season of The Voice and the debut of its new show Smash. OBJECTIVE The planning agency was tasked with creating an out of home campaign to publicize the second season of The Voice, and the premiere of newcomer Smash, which would both debut on the Monday following Super Bowl Sunday. STRATEGY To ensure NBC dominated the Monday after the Super Bowl, the planning agency blanketed the full day Monday February 6, with Smash and The Voice tune- in messaging across out of home, supplementing the print, broadcast, radio, and digital efforts from agency partners. The planning agency, working with the client and digital specialists, identified 300+ digital OOH screens across 12 markets to supplement the existing efforts across print, broadcast, radio, and digital. The result was NBC’s “Day of Digital,” a national campaign that gave the network share of voice domination across all me- dia. On Monday, February 6, digital OOH advertisements for Smash and The Voice went live across the selected markets. PLAN DETAILS Markets: Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Boston, Minneapolis, Sacramento, Detroit, Phoenix, Dallas, Seattle Flighting Dates: January - February 2012 Out of Home Formats: New York and Los Angeles were the markets of primary focus and where the traditional OOH mostly ran: taxi tops, station dominations, wrapped double- decker buses, and a Times Square Spectacular in New York, while engaging a media mix of bus shelters, bulletins, and wrapped double-decker buses in Los Angeles.

  • The Homes of 'Smash': Interiors That Steal the Show MARCH 26, 2012 | 6:47 PM
    L.A. at Home DESIGN, ARCHITECTURE, GARDENS, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA LIVING « Previous Post | L.A. at Home Home | Next Post » f t m The homes of 'Smash': Interiors that steal the show MARCH 26, 2012 | 6:47 PM Drama may have spilled off the TV screen last week as the creator of "Smash," playwright Theresa Rebeck, stepped down as the lead producer on the NBC series. Design fans, however, will be pleased to know that the show's eclectic and luxurious interiors for its Broadway-based characters will be back for a second season. Production designer Cabot McMullen and set decorator Andrew Baseman recently talked about the look of the homes on the show, which McMullen said the production had made a big commitment to make as realistic as possible. "The criteria from [executive producer] Steven Spielberg was to make it real," he said. "We were asked to demonstrate the lifestyle of Broadway people that was honest and true." McMullen credits Baseman for choosing furnishings that tell a story. "You can do more color and push the envelope with theater people," said Baseman, an interior designer who has clients in the theater world. "Some people in the business get very close to the characters they create and they want to live in that world." Both men admitted that the loft of Derek (Jack Davenport) -- filmed in a vast Flatiron District apartment with a gorgeous view of the Empire State Building -- is a bit of a stretch for a theater director. But what about the luxurious Upper East Side brownstone of writer Julia (Debra Messing), pictured below? "She's successful.

  • Remarks by Harvey Fierstein Tony Award-Winning Writer and Actor
    Remarks by Harvey Fierstein Tony Award-winning Writer and Actor Delivered at “Pardon the Interruption” A Capitol Hill Forum on the Need to Protect Existing Users of Broadcast and Wireless Microphones Hosted by Rep. Bobby Rush (D-1st IL) July 29, 2013 Good afternoon. My name is Harvey Fierstein. I’m going to assume that most of you know me as the guy who called his mother from under the desk in INDEPENDENCE DAY or as Robin Williams’ brother who turned him into a woman in MRS. DOUBTFIRE. But, actually, I’m a BROADWAY BABY. I’m a six-time TONY AWARD winning writer and actor. My shows include LA CAGE AUX FOLLES, TORCH SONG TRILOGY, and HAIRSPRAY. I currently have two smash hit shows running on Broadway, DISNEY’S NEWSIES which won a couple of TONYS last year, and KINKY BOOTS which won six TONY awards this year including BEST MUSICAL. I’d like to begin by thanking Representative Rush, other distinguished House Members, and your staffs for the opportunity to state our concerns. Obviously this issue affects the futures of everyone who performs live in front of an audience. But it’s not just about Broadway actors. This issue impacts ENGINEERS, STAGEHANDS, MUSICIANS, and PRODUCERS all across North America. Our ability to present live theatrical entertainment affects many ancillary industries such as HOTELS, RESTAURANTS, SOUVENIR SHOPS, BARS, TAXIS, and the countless other service industries surrounding live theater venues. In New York, Broadway is a $12 billion dollar a year industry. That’s more income than what all of our professional sports franchises generate put together.

  • Broadway 1 a (1893-1927) BROADWAY and the AMERICAN DREAM
    EPISODE ONE Give My Regards to Broadway 1 A (1893-1927) BROADWAY AND THE AMERICAN DREAM In the 1890s, immigrants from all over the world came to the great ports of America like New York City to seek their fortune and freedom. As they developed their own neighborhoods and ethnic enclaves, some of the new arrivals took advantage of the stage to offer ethnic comedy, dance and song to their fellow group members as a much-needed escape from the hardships of daily life. Gradually, the immigrants adopted the characteristics and values of their new country instead, and their performances reflected this assimilation. “Irving Berlin has no place in American music — he is American music.” —composer Jerome Kern My New York (excerpt) Every nation, it seems, Sailed across with their dreams To my New York.
