FROM THE DESK OF DAVID ARMSTRONG EXECUTIVE PRODUCER AND ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

TRADITION!

ver the past 36 years, thousands of Northwest families have made a trip to The 5th Avenue Theatre a cherished part of their annual holiday Otraditions. Many of these theatergoers who first attended one of our holiday productions as children now return year after year with their children and grandchildren. All of us here at The 5th—our staff, cast, crew and orchestra—are thrilled and humbled by the impact these productions have on our audience. We know that for many young people these holiday productions are the very first exposure they will have to the wonder and joy of live theater and our great indigenous American art form—The Musical. Every year we endeavor to select a show that will be equally entertaining to multiple generations of audience members. I believe that Disney’s The Little Mermaid fits that bill to perfection. I am also happy to tell you that this season Seattle This stage version is adapted from the hit 1989 animated audiences are not the only ones who will have the film that was itself inspired by Hans Christian Anderson’s opportunity to experience a thrilling 5th Avenue Theatre famous tale. In addition to being wonderfully engaging, the production. Following our final performance of The movie had a significant impact on at least two aspects of Little Mermaid on December 31, audiences in nine cities our contemporary popular culture. First and most directly, across America including Atlanta, Cincinnati, Columbus, the success of the film inspired what is known as “the Indianapolis, Louisville, Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando, Fort Disney Renaissance,” leading to the production of an entire Myers and Jacksonville, will have the thrill of experiencing string of memorable animated musical features including The 5th Avenue’s production of The Little Mermaid. Beauty and The Beast, The Lion King, Pocahontas, Mulan, Meanwhile, in the other Washington, thousands of The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Aladdin. mutigenerational theatergoers will have their hearts Secondly, and most importantly from my point of warmed by our co-production of the Tony®-winning view, The Little Mermaid and the films that followed were musical The Secret Garden, produced in partnership with released in theaters and on videotape, during the perfect DC’s acclaimed Shakespeare Theatre Company where it is 10 year period to totally entrance the new millennial now playing through December 31.

I believe this phenomenon Whether this is your first or your one-hundredth visit to engendered in millennials a great love and affinity for the our spectacular theater, we are thrilled that you are here, classic form and content of Broadway musicals. Like their and we look forward to entertaining and delighting you, baby boomer grandparents, it seems perfectly natural to your friends and your family for many seasons to come. this younger generation that writers employ music to heighten their dramas or that characters would express their dreams and passions by bursting into song and dance. This, I believe, has in great part led to the “Musical Theater Renaissance” that has emerged over the past decade on Broadway, on television and here at The 5th. Our production of The Little Mermaid is on track to become the most attended holiday show in our theater’s history, and millennials will make up a huge part of our audience. Welcome to you all!

WHAT WHAT TO DREW YOU Q

Community Engagement Specialist Community VENGESAYI, By KWAPI MORE THAN A FAIRY TALE A THAN MORE FAIRY 14

BEHIND THE SCENES: DISNEY’S THE LITTLE MERMAID WHAT IS THIS STORY ABOUT TO YOU? DH: A huge part of Ariel’s story is that she feels like she can’t be her true self. There’s no doubt that she loves her father, family and friends, but if you can’t be happy with yourself, then you’re stuck in a pretty miserable rut. It’s hard to give your best self to the world if you are limiting that best self from thriving. I hope to bring Ariel’s strength and bravery to the stage and inspire people to be happy, fulfilled and proud of who they are! GC: It is about a young girl who is trying to figure out who she is and why she is different from her sisters. She is not comfortable with her fins and the body she inhabits: she knows that she belongs somewhere else. She finds the courage to explore this new world and life. MK: I think Ariel and Eric are both young people who are just discovering their own individualism and they are both feeling restricted in the world they were born into. We have all experienced what it’s like to feel different and to have dreams that set us apart. We, the cast, owe it to the dreamers in the audience to be generous with that part of Glenn Casale with Lesli Margherita (Esmerelda) and Eric Kunze (Phoebus) ourselves so they know there are others out there in rehearsals of Hunchback of Notre Dame.

We know the lessons get to relive a childhood favorite! I hope everyone we learned from them as children and we want to leaves singing and dancing with joy in their hearts. relive them and share them with the next generations.

BEHIND THE SCENES: DISNEY’S THE LITTLE MERMAID Alan Menken (left) & Howard Ashman (right) ALAN MENKEN: FROM CHILDHOOD TO CAREER MPROVISATION

When his parents were in the room Menken would dutifully practice his Beethoven sonatas. When they left he’d improvise his own “Beethoven.” From the next room they couldn’t tell the difference.

When his piano teacher learned the secret, he told Menken’s parents, “Perhaps this is something we should encourage Alan to do.”

In composing for film and theater, Menken uses this skill to give each score a unique musical palette: calypso, Kurt Weill and sea chanteys for The Little Mermaid; 19th century operetta for Beauty and the Beast; 40s jazz and Arabic music for Aladdin.

After Howard’s death, Alan grieved. “It really was like a marriage,” he said.

But he rebounded and built a show-business career second to none, with nine Oscars, 11 Grammys and a Tony. Menken’s post-Renaissance films include , The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules, Enchanted and Tangled. For the theater, he scored A Christmas Carol, Leap of Faith and Sister Act.

The stage adaptations of his films Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Newsies and Aladdin have made Disney Theatricals a mighty presence on Broadway and spurred the clean-up of the once tawdry Times Square area.

Most recently has been the adaptation of The Hunchback of Notre Dame: The Musical, with lyrics by Menken’s frequent partner Glenn Slater—who also wrote the lyrics for the new songs in The Little Mermaid.

THE SONGS OF A GENERATION

Thanks largely to the Disney Renaissance, a generation of kids—and now their kids—have grown up loving classic Broadway musical style songs, which in turn has led them to participate in school musicals in ever greater numbers.

When you ask young performers which songs made them fall in love with musical theater, their answers are likely to include “Somewhere That’s Green,” “Part of Your World,” “Under the Sea,” “Be Our Guest” and “Beauty and the Beast”—songs that will never die. Songs by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken.

BEHIND THE SCENES: DISNEY'S THE LITTLE MERMAID My wealth. My priorities. My partner.

You’ve spent your life accumulating wealth. And, no doubt, that wealth now takes many forms, sits in many places, and is managed by many advisors. Unfortunately, that kind of fragmentation creates gaps that can hold your wealth back from its full potential. The Private Bank can help.

The Private Bank uses a proprietary approach called the LIFE Wealth Cycle SM to ­ind those gaps—and help you achieve what is important to you.

VM_Program_ENCORE_8.375x10.875_HiRes.inddEAP full-page template.indd 1 2 11/8/1611/8/16 11:40 AM NEXTFEST THE 5TH AVENUE THEATRE’S SECOND ANNUAL FESTIVAL FOR NEW WORKS This October, The 5th presented NextFest, its second annual Festival for New Works. Eleven new projects were introduced during the three week festival, at varying levels of evolution, from table reads and writing intensives to full readings.

Three of the works at NextFest (The Long Game, The Rumble Within and Anybody Can Do Anything) emerged from another new works initiative, our inaugural Seattle Writers Group, which is a two-year program providing six writers the opportunity to attend bi-weekly meetings to share and discuss their work in progress.

NextFest also featured a writing intensive and table read of a new commission for The 5th’s education program, Adventure Musical Theater Touring Company (AMT). Free Boy, based on the book by Seattle historians Lorraine McConaghy and Judy Bentley, tells the tale of Charles Mitchell’s harrowing escape from Washington Territory in 1860 through the Canadian Underground Railroad. In a more immediate sense, the work completed on Free Boy during NextFest will be seen in spring 2017 when it is performed by AMT in elementary and junior high schools throughout Washington State.

“The 5th is committed to making sure that future generations will be able to enjoy relevant and compelling musical theater,” said Producing Artistic Director Bill Berry. “This year’s festival celebrates the richness and breadth of storytelling that is possible in musical theater.” For The 5th, the development and initial support of new works is just as important as the end product. Without the support and freedom to fully investigate and intensively examine these new works throughout the entirety of the creation process, they would never progress to the point of being ready to present on a stage.

It’s also imperative to engage and instruct young writers and artists in all stages of musical development, which is why The 5th was proud to present the result of the inaugural 10-Minute Musical Project, a new education program. Designed for students ages 14 to 19, the program aims to empower students and support their future achievement by introducing them to the crafts and skills associated with songwriting, book writing, directing and the workshop process. Students participated as book writers, composers, lyricists, directors, music directors, stage managers, actors, marketing administrators and photographers/videographers. Following several months of work during the summer, these students culminated their program with a presentation of four original works at NextFest. To read more about the 10-Minute Musical Project, please visit: www.5thavenue.org/10-minute-musical-project.

NEXTFEST is not currently open to the general public. Festival passes are a benefit of an Artist’s Circle Membership, offering access to behind-the-scenes interviews with writers, sneak peeks, special concerts, cocktail events and panels. To learn more about Membership before next year’s NextFest, please contact Development at (206) 625-1418.

So much of beyond that, let that go and engage in a world that is being an assistant director is sitting quietly and getting real. I have a physical, visceral response to watching to know every single detail of the show—and writing musicals up on stage. We can tell stories about real, down everything the director says so that you have pertinent things, but in a way that is different than just, it as a point of reference.
