  • We Will Rock You”
    “We Will Rock You” By Queen and Ben Elton At the Hippodrome Theatre through October 20 By Princess Appau WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS When one walks into the Hippodrome Theatre to view “We Will Rock You,” the common expectation is a compilation of classic rock and roll music held together by a simple plot. This jukebox musical, however, surpasses those expectations by entwining a powerful plot with clever updating of the original 2002 musical by Queen and Ben Elton. The playwright Elton has surrounded Queen’s songs with a plot that highlights the familiar conflict of our era: youths being sycophants to technology. This comic method is not only the key to the show’s success but also the antidote to any fear that the future could become this. The futuristic storyline is connected to many of Queen’s lyrics that foreshadow the youthful infatuation with technology and the monotonous lifestyle that results. This approach is emphasized by the use of a projector displaying programmed visuals of a futuristic setting throughout the show. The opening scene transitions into the Queen song “Radio Gaga,” which further affirms this theme. The scene includes a large projection of hundreds of youth, clones to the cast performing on stage. The human cast and virtual cast are clothed alike in identical white tops and shorts or skirts; they sing and dance in sublime unison, defining the setting of the show and foreshadowing the plot. Unlike most jukebox musicals the plot is not a biographical story of the performers whose music is featured. “We Will Rock You” is set 300 years in the future on the iPlanet when individuality and creativity are shunned and conformity reigns.

  • Theatricality, Voyeurism, and Molière's Misanthrope: Yesterday and Today
    Spring 2004 _41 Theatricality, Voyeurism, and Molière's Misanthrope: Yesterday and Today Jesse Dickson The pleasures of eyeing other people are in many ways common to the seventeenth century and the present, although certain of yesterday's pleasures have tumed into today's embarrassments. In this light, I will view the theatrical economy of Molière's 1666 The Misanthrope in performance, from the perspective of the actors and then of the spectators, to compare their visual relationships, then and today. I share the view of many literary historians that in his satire of both aristocratic and bourgeois orders Molière sets his sights on their various theatrical behaviors, "the histrionic bases of individual and social identity.'" Indeed, The Misanthrope shows different characters play acting for other, spectating characters, and makes us laugh at the narcissistic and often hollow society of the theatrum mundi. However, in this literary view the characters strut about within the confines of the stage, behind the footlights, and the milieu they portray is mostly outside the theater walls, in court and salon. This perspective is somewhat constricting for my purpose. I propose to shift the theatrical frame by focusing on the visual relations between the actors and their immediate audience, relations peculiar to Molière's Palais Royal Theater in the latter part of the seventeenth century. The goal, and my desire, are to reestablish the theatrical dynamic of the period in its specificity, having its own pleasures, its own psychological and ideological

  • Everyday Fandom: Fan Clubs, Blogging, and the Quotidian Rhythms of the Internet
    Everyday Fandom: Fan Clubs, Blogging, and the Quotidian Rhythms of the Internet Paul Théberge Carleton University Abstract: With the rise of the Internet, fans have engaged in a variety of online discussions related to their interests: newsgroups in the “alt.music” and “alt.fan” categories are full of groups devoted to specific music genres and individual stars. But what is of interest in this context is the transformation of those other, more-or-less organized, “official” fan clubs, where the tensions between fandom and organized consumption are most evident. In this regard, online fan clubs have taken on a new dynamic: marked by the appearance of a more direct form of dia- logue between artist and fans and a more regular, even daily, ability to connect both artists with fans and fans with one another, fan clubs are now regarded as a new kind of “community” by some and a new source of revenue by others. This paper discusses how Internet fan clubs have become an important mediating factor in relationships between fans and artists, and between fans themselves. Resumé : Depuis la montée d’Internet, les fans participent à une diversité de dis- cussions en ligne associées à leurs intérêts : à ce titre, des groupes de nouvelles comme « alt.music » ou « alt.fan » rassemblent pleins de groupes consacrés à des vedettes ou genres musicaux particuliers. Ce qui est intéressant dans ce con- texte, c’est la transformation de ces autres clubs prétendument officiels d’admi- rateurs plus ou moins organisés, où les tensions entre fans et la consommation organisée sont les plus en évidence.

    Marshall-Wythe School of Law A CAREFUL EXAMINATION OF THE PROPOSED LIVE NATION- TICKETMASTER MERGER Alan J. Meese William & Mary Law School Barak D. Richman Duke University School of Law William & Mary Law School Research Paper No. 09-41 This paper can be downloaded without charge from the Social Science Research Network Electronic Paper Collection: http://ssrn.com/abstract= 1542626 A Careful Examination of the Proposed Live Nation-Ticketmaster Merger Alan J. M eese* Barak D. Richman** People deserve better. They deserve the truth. They deserve honesty. The best music, you can seek some shelter in it momentarily, but it's essentially there to provide you something to face the world with. --Bruce Springsteen God have mercy on the man who doubts what he's sure of. “Brilliant Disguise” Tunnel of Love (1987) As great admirers of The Boss and as fans of live entertainment, we share in the popular dismay over rising ticket prices for live performances. But we have been asked as antitrust scholars to examine the proposed merger of Live Nation and Ticketmaster, and we do so with the objectivity and honesty called for by The Boss’s quotes above. The proposed merger has been the target of aggressive attacks from several industry commentators and popular figures, but the legal and policy question is whether the transaction is at odds with the nation’s antitrust laws. One primary source of concern to critics is that Ticketmaster and Live Nation are two leading providers of ticket distribution services, and these critics argue that the merged entity would have a combined market share that is presumptively anticompetitive.
