  • So Much for Tradition. Harvey Fierstein Stars in Fiddler on the Roof
    THEATER REVIEW So Much For Tradition. Harvey Fierstein Stars in Fiddler On The Roof. By Erika Milvy | Feb 05, 2010 You might think that clamor about who should marry whom is coming from the San Francisco federal courthouse, where same sex marriage is currently on trial. You might think that the debate about traditional values and societal stability is coming from the attorneys arguing over Proposition 8. But it's not. It's coming from the Golden Gate Theater where Tevye is weighing these selfsame issues in the new production of Fiddler on the Roof. You might think the voices raised in hatred and intimidation against the Jewish people are those of the actors playing the Cossacks who rampage the shtetl of Anatevka in the pogrom at the end of Act I. But no again. Those are members of the congregation of The Westboro Baptist Church of Kansas standing in front of the Jewish Community Center, the Jewish Museum and even Brandeis Hillel Elementary School, wielding placards that say "God Hates Jews." (Their tour of San Francisco had included Thursday's performance of Fiddler on the Roof but apparently, they were a no show.) Their schedule also includes the Federal courthouse, Jewish News Weekly and a student production of Rent. Lest anyone think we've come a long way from Anatevka, Pastor Fred Phelps and his church are here to tell us otherwise. (See Laughing Squid's coverage of San Francisco's clever counter protest.) But this symmetry is more trenchant than the show itself. I wish I could tell you that the new national tour of Fiddler on the Roof, which opened Wednesday, January 27, gut­punches us anew with its wrenching depiction of lives at the crossroads of old ideals and new ideas.

  • Terry Helgesen Collection
    152 N. York St., 2nd Floor, Elmhurst, IL 60126 historictheatres.org Finding Aid for the TERRY HELGESEN COLLECTION Acc. #: xx-005 Future Additions Expected: No Finding Aid creation: August 17, 2010 Size: 10.5 linear feet (approx.) Abstract The Terry Helgesen Collection contains 26 oversize scrapbooks, some correspondence, several draft chapters of a book on theatres, and an oil painting of a young Terry Helgesen. The scrapbooks consist of photographs and drawings of theatres collected by THS member Terry Helgesen with his descriptions of the theatres and other information such as number of seats, architect, opening and closing dates, renovation and demolition dates, and other notable facts. Background Information Terry Helgesen (1914-1995) was a pianist who played on stage in the waning days of presentation houses (a short stage show followed by a movie) as well as in nightclubs. Terry was also a THS Founding member and the 1979 Member of the Year. He was born in Seattle, WA but his family moved to Santa Barbara, CA when he was still very young. He was tutored in piano by Roger Clerbois and Joseph Hoffman, among others. Terry entered vaudeville (variety entertainment with a mixture of comedy, song and dance) in a “tyke” act called “Terry and Ty” with Terry playing a miniature piano and Ty doing a quick-step. Though Terry started as part of an act, he later changed to accompaniment and played on the Orpheum, Fanchon & Marco and Publix circuits. During his travels he sought out newspapers and photographers who had images of theatres which he purchased and assembled into scrapbooks.

  • A Study of the Lyric in Musical Theatre
    2084: A Study of the Lyric in Musical Theatre Sarah Courtis This dissertation is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Murdoch University, Perth, 2019. 1 2 I declare that this dissertation is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work, which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. _______________________Sarah Courtis Sarah Courtis 3 Acknowledgements This document is the culmination of five years of research and a lifetime of dedication to an art form and general practice. The years spent studying have been hard but inspiring, as I negotiated the life of a researcher with the daily struggles of having a chronic illness. This work was generated through perseverance and the continual support of the people around me. My first, and undying, gratitude to my supervisors: Associate Professor Jenny de Reuck and Doctor David Moody. Jenny, you supported me through many trials and tribulations, providing me with positivity and a safe space to express myself and try new approaches. Words cannot express my gratitude. David, your numerous edits and illuminating discussions shall remain with me, always. You kept me grounded and reminded me not to take myself too seriously. Thank you both for your patience. Secondly, I would like to thank all of the people who participated in and enriched my creative practice. To the cast and crew of 2084 (both the workshop and final product): you helped make the show what it is. To Dr Melissa Merchant I am deeply indebted for mentoring me through life as an academic and for all the good advice I promptly ignored: perhaps the next generation will be wiser.

June 29, 2017 STRAIGHT FROM BROADWAY - THE MIDTOWN MEN BRING MUSIC FROM JERSEY BOYS AND BEYOND TO THE ARBORETUM Pasadena, CA - The Pasadena POPS continue their popular outdoor summer concert series with The Midtown Men singing Music from Jersey Boys and Beyond on Saturday, July 15 at the LA County Arboretum. They took Broadway by storm in one of the biggest hits of all time. Now, The Midtown Men bring their Broadway talent, top-shelf choreography and unique onstage chemistry to the Arboretum to deliver a blast from the past celebrating the music that defined the '60s, led by Resident Pops Conductor Larry Blank. With hits from not only the Four Seasons, but the Beatles, Motown and more, they’ll belt out old favorites like “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You,” “Get Ready,” “Can’t Buy Me Love” and more, in electrifying and soulful, one-of-a-kind concert experience. This sensational production reunites Four Stars from the original cast of Broadway’s Jersey Boys. Tony Award winner Christian Hoff, Michael Longoria, Daniel Reichard and Tony Award nominee J. Robert Spencer shared the Broadway stage for over 1,000 performances of the mega-hit production. Now as The Midtown Men, they have thrilled crowds on concert stages and symphony halls across the continent, and have delighted television audiences with performances on "Good Morning America," “The Late Show with David Letterman” and "Access Hollywood" to name a few.
