Cabaret Kander and Ebb's Award-Winning Landmark Musical PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release Wednesday, September 22, 2010 CONTACTS: Ari Lipsky, [email protected] or 315-443-2636 Patrick Finlon, 315-443-2636 or [email protected] Syracuse University Department of Drama presents Cabaret Kander and Ebb's Award-Winning Landmark Musical Book by Joe Masteroff Music by John Kander Lyrics by Fred Ebb Based on the play by John Van Druten Based on stories by Christopher Isherwood Directed and Choreographed by David Wanstreet Musical Direction by Brian Cimmet ARCHBOLD THEATRE at SYRACUSE STAGE Opens: October 1 Closes: October 10 (Syracuse, NY)—Kander and Ebb's groundbreaking musical Cabaret will inaugurate the Syracuse University Department of Drama's 2010-2011 season. Originally directed on Broadway in 1966 by Harold Prince, Cabaret won eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The musical inspired the eight-time Academy Award-winning 1972 film, starring Liza Minelli as Sally Bowles. 1 For the first time, a cast comprised wholly of SU Drama students will be showcased in the John D. Archbold Theatre, more than twice the size of SU Drama’s home-base Storch Theatre next door. The production, directed and choreographed by David Wanstreet, will feature an onstage cabaret orchestra sitting atop the second tier of the set, in addition to intimate cabaret seating lining the front of the audience (sold at an additional fee). The season sponsor for SU Drama is WAER. Tickets are available by calling 315-443-3275 or by visiting http://vpa.syr.edu/drama. Cabaret is recommended for age middle school and up. "It's a brilliant piece of theatre," said Wanstreet. "Cabaret is a cautionary tale about a society in trouble, and I think that still resonates today." Previously for SU Drama, Wanstreet has directed Anything Goes, Sweet Charity, Damn Yankees, Chicago and Steel Pier. Producing Artistic Director Timothy Bond chose to allow the SU Drama students full access to the expansive Archbold stage, to strengthen the relationship between the Department of Drama and Syracuse Stage, and to allow the students the opportunity to perform in a larger setting. In previous years, students have participated in co- productions with Syracuse Stage, such as last year's Little Women, but Cabaret marks the first time an all-student production will play the 500-seat Archbold Theatre. The production will star Hannah Corneau (seen last season as Diana in I Love You Because) as Sally Bowles, Chris Dwan (previously seen as Leo Davis in last season's Room Service) as the Emcee, and Kenny Metzger (Valentine in last season's Two Gentlemen of Verona) as Cliff Bradshaw. SYNOPSIS Cabaret is set mainly in the Emcee's (Dwan) seedy underground Kit Kat Klub in 1930s Berlin, where singer Sally Bowles (Corneau) meets the young American writer Cliff Bradshaw (Metzger). They, along with the Klub's frequent visitors, indulge in a life of euphoric pleasure, blind to the Nazi party's imminent rise to power. Dark, sexually- charged, and highly energetic, the musical examines a society's unwillingness to acknowledge what is right in front of them. CREATORS Joe Masteroff (Book) began his career as an actor, making his Broadway debut in The Prescott Proposals in 1953. Following a national tour, Masteroff's first play, The Warm Peninsula, opened on Broadway in 1959, and in 1963 he wrote the book for the Sheldon Harnick-Jerry Bock musical She Loves Me, which garnered Masteroff a Tony Award nomination for Best Author of a Musical. Three years later, when Hal Prince gained control of the rights to John Van Druten's play I Am a Camera and The Berlin Stories by Christopher Isherwood, he discarded the book for a musical adaptation already written by Sandy Wilson and hired Masteroff to fashion his own. With lyrics and music by Kander and Ebb, Cabaret won the Tony for Best Musical and ran for 1165 performances. Masteroff also has written the libretto for an operatic adaptation of Eugene O'Neill's Desire Under the Elms and the book and lyrics for the musicals Six Wives and Paramour, the latter based on Jean Anouilh's The Waltz of the Toreadors. 2 John Kander (Music) and Fred Ebb (Lyrics). The John Kander and Fred Ebb collaboration of four decades created what many would consider Broadway standards and contemporary classics: Flora, the Red Menace; Cabaret (Tony Award); The Happy Time; Zorba; 70, Girls, 70; Chicago; The Act; Woman of the Year (Tony Award, Best Score); The Rink; Kiss of the Spider Woman (Tony Award, Best Score); Steel Pier; and Curtains. Their collaboration also transferred itself to movies and television as they wrote original material for the Academy Awards; “Liza With a Z” (Emmy Award); HBO’s “Liza Minnelli’s Stepping Out” (Emmy Award); Funny Lady (Oscar nominated for “How Lucky Can You Get”); Lucky Lady; New York, New York; Stepping Out; and Chicago (Oscar nominated for Best Song). In the mid ’80s the song “New York, New York” became the official anthem of New York City. At the time of the unfortunate death of Mr. Ebb, Kander and Ebb had several projects in different stages of completion waiting in the wings, including The Visit and All About Us. The pair's latest musical, The Scottsboro Boys, will open on Broadway on October 31, 2010. DIRECTION David Wanstreet (Director/Choreographer) is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Drama’s Musical Theatre program. SU productions he has directed and choreographed include Steel Pier, Chicago, Damn Yankees, Sweet Charity, Anything Goes and Kiss Me, Kate. Prior to coming to Syracuse, David logged on-stage time as Bobby Child in Crazy For You, Billy Buck Chandler in My One and Only, Bobby in A Chorus Line, and Will Parker in Oklahoma!, among others. He has directed and choreographed more than 60 musical productions at theatres throughout the eastern US. Brian Cimmet (Musical Director) is a new staff member and instructor in the Department of Drama. Prior to joining the team here, he spent the last fifteen years playing and conducting many varied musical theatre projects ranging from Broadway (Mary Poppins, Drowsy Chaperone) to summer stock (13 seasons at Maine State Music Theatre). As a composer and arranger, Brian wrote the scores to Absolutely Anything and The Spirit of Reindeer with lyricist Erich Goldstein, original music and orchestrations for North Shore Music Theatre's A Christmas Carol, original songs for Remember What's Important and The Owl On The Right, and was recently honored with a MAC Nomination for his song "Understudy Blues" (with lyricist Amanda Yesnowitz). Brian is also one of the creators and co-hosts of "Fill Me In," a weekly podcast about crosswords and other puzzles, which can be found at bemoresmarter.com. Malcolm Ingram (Dialect Coach) teaches voice and acting in the Department of Drama, where he has previous directed The Way of the World, The Winter’s Tale, Henry V, Charley’s Aunt, The Maid’s Tragedy, Our Country’s Good, Macbeth, Twelfth Night, Sir Patient Fancy, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Malcolm is also an actor with a long career in the U.K. as well as many professional productions in this country. Recent appearances include Mr. Laurence in Little Women at Syracuse Stage, a Narrator in a Beyond the Score presentation of Pictures at an Exhibition with the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra, the Old Shepherd in The Winter’s Tale and three roles in Pinter’s Mirror (three one-act plays by Harold Pinter) at Shakespeare & Company in Lenox, MA.

  • News Release
    NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 30, 2019 WILLKOMMEN! ARIZONA THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS MUSICAL THEATRE MASTERPIECE “CABARET” Arizona Theatre Company (Sean Daniels, Artistic Director; Billy Russo, Managing Director) will bring the timeless “masterpiece of musical theatre” (Chicago Tribune), Cabaret and its powerful political wallop to the Temple of Music & Art from Nov. 30-Dec. 29 and the Herberger Theater Center from Jan. 4-26. Directed by Sara Bruner, Cabaret, which first opened on Broadway on Nov. 20, 1966 and ran for 1,165 performances, follows American author Cliff Bradshaw (Brandon Espinoza) and his encounter with cabaret performer Sally Bowles (Madison Micucci) at the seedy Kit Kat Klub where she sings. When she is fired by the club’s owner, Max (David Kelly), also her jealous boyfriend, she moves in with Cliff and the two fall in love. As the Nazis begin taking control of the German government, the atmosphere at the Kit Kat Klub and the lives of Cliff and Sally begin to change. For all the exuberant song and dance, the most powerful aspect of Cabaret remains the political wallop it delivers. At its core, Cabaret is a devastating critique of apathy and a clever and terrifying look at totalitarianism. Packed with memorable songs from “Willkommen,” “Perfectly Marvelous,” “I Don’t Care Much,” and, of course, “Cabaret,” Cabaret is a story that remains remarkably timely, particularly in today’s political environment. "Cabaret is undoubtedly one of the greatest musicals ever - and only Arizona Theatre Company, with a full live orchestra on stage - is able to bring the best in our country to work with the best here to create such a piece,” said Arizona Theatre Company Artistic Director Sean Daniels.

    John Kander: Passing Through Curtains Published: May 1, 2010 In conversation with Frank J. Oteri at Kander's home in New York, New York April 7, 2010—10:30 a.m. Transcribed and edited by Frank J. Oteri and John Lydon Video edited by Molly Sheridan John Kander knew that he wanted to write music for the theatre from his earliest childhood. He wrote his very first song instead of paying attention during his second grade math class and had already completed a musical for his high school. A protégé of Douglas Moore and Jack Beeson, with whom he studied composition at Columbia, Kander eventually found himself accompanying singers, conducting summer stock productions, and playing in the pit orchestra for West Side Story. One thing led to another and he wrote the music for the short-lived 1962 Broadway musical, A Family Affair which Harold Prince directed. As Kander explains: The theater community is very small. Once you pass through a curtain which lets people look at you as a professional, you can really get to or make contact with just about anybody from one or two degrees of separation. Later that year, Kander met lyricist Fred Ebb which proved to be the most important encounter of his entire career. Kander and Ebb sustained one of the longest lasting as well as one of the most successful of songwriting collaborations in the history of the American musical theater. Only months after they began writing songs together, Barbara Streisand recorded two of them. And a few years later they landed on Broadway with their score for Flora the Red Menace, about a Depression-era ingénue (Liza Minnelli in her debut) who unwittingly joins the Communist Party.

  • Under His Wings (Autobiography)
    Under His Wings (Autobiography) By H. A. Baker Missionary to Tibet, China, and Formosa Author of Plains of Glory and Gloom, Visions Beyond the Veil Heaven and the Angels, The Three Worlds, Through Tribulation to Glory And several other books Iris 2008 Edition Page 1 Foreword to the Iris 2008 Edition When Rolland and Heidi Baker first went abroad as missionaries in 1980, forming what is now called Iris Ministries, they did not do so absent the guiding impulse of a long vocational ancestry. To be understood rightly that descent must be traced down lines both spiritual and natural, but of all its recent progenitors, perhaps the single most influential on either count was Harold Armstrong Baker. He was Rolland Baker’s grandfather, and my great-grandfather. His were the core mission practices — expressions of his highest values for all ministry — which have influenced those of my parents to a greater extent than have any other examples in living memory. Rolland Baker, my father, grew up in the Far East, as had all the Bakers from Harold onwards. Newly wed, he would return there with my mother soon after they had completed college in America. It was their first mission field. They began in Indonesia, home of my own earliest memories, and soon came to Hong Kong, where for four years they labored among widows, gangs, and the homeless in some of earth’s most crowded slums. In their constant devotion to the poorest and most “problematic” individuals, as well as in their willingly subservient adoption of a dizzying myriad of cultural novelties for the gospel’s sake, they closely mirrored much of Harold Baker’s work — consciously to some degree, but even more so as a natural and effortless result of a shared vision of Christ’s special love for the downcast.
