  • West Side Story” (Original Cast Recording) (1957) Added to the National Registry: 2008 Essay by Robert L
    “West Side Story” (Original cast recording) (1957) Added to the National Registry: 2008 Essay by Robert L. McLaughlin (guest essay)* Original “West Side Story” cast members at recording session (from left: Elizabeth Taylor, Carmen Gutierrez, Marilyn Cooper, Carol Lawrence) “West Side Story” is among the best and most important of Broadway musicals. It was both a culmination of the Rodgers and Hammerstein integrated musical, bringing together music, dance, language and design in service of a powerful narrative, and an arrow pointing toward the future, creating new possibilities for what a musical can be and how it can work. Its cast recording preserves its score and the original performances. “West Side Story’s” journey to theater immortality was not easy. The show’s origins came in the late 1940s when director/choreographer Jerome Robbins, composer Leonard Bernstein, and playwright Arthur Laurents imagined an updated retelling of “Romeo and Juliet,” with the star- crossed lovers thwarted by their contentious Catholic and Jewish families. After some work, the men decided that such a musical would evoke “Abie’s Irish Rose” more than Shakespeare and so they set the project aside. A few years later, however, Bernstein and Laurents were struck by news reports of gang violence in New York and, with Robbins, reconceived the piece as a story of two lovers set against Caucasian and Puerto Rican gang warfare. The musical’s “Prologue” establishes the rivalry between the Jets, a gang of white teens, children mostly of immigrant parents and claimants of a block of turf on New York City’s west side, and the Sharks, a gang of Puerto Rican teens, recently come to the city and, as the play begins, finally numerous enough to challenge the Jets’ dominion.

  • ANTA Theater and the Proposed Designation of the Related Landmark Site (Item No
    Landmarks Preservation Commission August 6, 1985; Designation List 182 l.P-1309 ANTA THFATER (originally Guild Theater, noN Virginia Theater), 243-259 West 52nd Street, Manhattan. Built 1924-25; architects, Crane & Franzheim. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1024, Lot 7. On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the ANTA Theater and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 5). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty-three witnesses spoke in favor of designation. Two witnesses spoke in opposition to designation. The owner, with his representatives, appeared at the hearing, and indicated that he had not formulated an opinion regarding designation. The Commission has received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The ANTA Theater survives today as one of the historic theaters that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Built in the 1924-25, the ANTA was constructed for the Theater Guild as a subscription playhouse, named the Guild Theater. The fourrling Guild members, including actors, playwrights, designers, attorneys and bankers, formed the Theater Guild to present high quality plays which they believed would be artistically superior to the current offerings of the commercial Broadway houses. More than just an auditorium, however, the Guild Theater was designed to be a theater resource center, with classrooms, studios, and a library. The theater also included the rrost up-to-date staging technology.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

  • Comedy Tonight! by Joshua S
    Comedy Tonight! By Joshua S. Ritter, Goodspeed Musicals Education Director We can trace the roots of the musical A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum to the esteemed ancient Roman playwright Titus Maccius Plautus, born in Sarsina, Umbria around 254 B.C. It is difficult to determine Plautus's personal contribution, as all of his plays were adaptations of Greek productions that did not survive the ages. There is evidence, however, that he derived his works from plays belonging to the Greek New Comedy style. Plays of this genre portrayed the carefree life of the prosperous youth of Athens and their ceaseless desire for riches to purchase the company of concubines. Greeks considered plays of that style "clean" compared to those from the Old Comedy genre, which were often full of obscene gags and expressions. Surely, Plautus could never have conceived that three of his plays (Pseudolus, Miles Gloriosus, and Mostellaria) would transform into one of the most hilarious and rollicking musicals ever produced. Yet Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart did a remarkable job taking Plautus’s ancient works and weaving them into what some consider the best book associated with any Stephen Sondheim (Composer and Lyricist) collaboration. More than two thousand years after Plautus, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum continues to receive wide spread acclaim from critics and audiences throughout the world. Stephen Sondheim made his Broadway debut as a composer/lyricist working with Gelbart and Shevelove on the original Broadway production and commented on their work as follows: “The book is vastly underrated.

Radical People's Theatre. By Eugene Van Erven. Bloomington and Indianapolis: Indiana University Press, 1988. 238 pp. + illus. ISBN 0-253-34788-2. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the performance techniques of circus, commedia deWarte, vaudeville, music hall, puppetry, and a wide variety of street entertainments and folk traditions, especially as they apply to the creation of a radical or "alternative" form of politicized theatre. Before the early 1980's, little about this kind of theatre could be found in scholarly studies or theatrical histories and remained, as perhaps it intends, outside accepted and mainstream stage traditions. Undoubtedly, it is their non-literary style that has often kept these forms out of standard dramatic studies. Absurdist and existentialist dramatists, Bertolt Brecht, and even Dario Fo, who were inspired by many of the same aspects of street theatre, are regularly examined and re-examined, at least in part because they have individually written plays that remain in the canon of performed works. With a significant emphasis on improvisation and highly topical, ever-changing subject matter, the alternative artist or group may seem too temporary and too intangible to be pinned down in a scholarly study.

We follow this in the Spring with another HUGE comedy: the dizzy and delightful Depression-era romp Three Men on a Horse by master showmen George Abbott and John Cecil Holm.

On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the St. James Theater (originally Erlanger Theater) and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 70). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty witnesses spoke or had statements read into the record in favor of designation. One witness spoke in opposition to designation. The owner, with his representatives, appeared at the hearing, and indicated that he had not formulated an opinion regarding designation. The Commission has received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The St. James (built as the Erlanger) Theater survives today as one of the historic playhouses that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Built in 1926-27, the St. James was designed by the prominent firm of Warren & Wetmore as the last Broadway theater erected for Abraham Erlanger. Abraham Erlanger had been a principal in the infamous Klaw & Erlanger Theatrical Syndicate, which had dominated the American theater industry for several decades on either side of the turn of the century. After the break-up of the Syndicate, Klaw and Erlanger went their separate ways, and each built theaters named for themselves.
