A VERY<br />

SUMMER<br />

By Roy Hamlin, <strong>The</strong>atre <strong>Under</strong> <strong>The</strong> <strong>Stars</strong> Associate Artistic Director<br />

N<br />

ew York City may have both <strong>The</strong><br />

Little Mermaid and Mary Poppins<br />

(with <strong>The</strong> Lion King still ruling),<br />

but over the summer Houston will<br />

have two new Disney contenders<br />

as well: When You Wish and Geppetto &<br />

Son, both courtesy of <strong>Music</strong> <strong>The</strong>atre<br />

International and the good folks at Disney<br />

<strong>The</strong>atrical. TUTS will be presenting<br />

Southwest Premieres of both new<br />

properties, and save you the cost of travel to<br />

Broadway (not to mention much more<br />

reasonable prices—-one is even free!).<br />

Early to mid-summer will see two<br />

incarnations of Disney’s When You Wish, a<br />

newly adapted musical theatre revue, at<br />

Miller <strong>The</strong>atre in Herman Park….a sneak<br />

peek preview during the mornings of June 3-<br />

5, then the full production every evening July<br />

15-20. Throwing open the archives of eight<br />

decades of Disney music from the silver<br />

screen, various television series, animated<br />

adventures, and even their family resorts,<br />

those generous “Imagineers” have given<br />

TUTS license to weave together all your<br />

favorite “Wonderful World of Magic” songs.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> Mickey Mouse March” will meet<br />

“Minnie’s Yoohoo,” and counting on “<strong>The</strong><br />

Second Star to the Right” to grant “A Dream<br />

Is a Wish Your Heart Makes” will take us all<br />

to “A Whole New World”…and beyond! A<br />

very special, first-time-ever collaboration<br />

(specially arranged for Miller <strong>The</strong>atre this<br />

summer) has been made between TUTS’<br />

professional production company and the<br />

Academy at TUTS’ Humphreys School of<br />

<strong>Music</strong>al <strong>The</strong>atre. In this show, the student<br />

cast will be as large as the adult one—-a very<br />

fitting ratio for a family musical. Performers<br />

of all ages will delight every member of your<br />

family with song and dance, back under the<br />

stars where TUTS started, all for free in<br />

Herman Park. TUTS has been presenting<br />

musicals there annually for forty years, and<br />

what a way to commemorate that!<br />

August to early September will find the<br />

Academy at HSMT back in production<br />

mode again, as the Apprentice Conservatory<br />

Training program (focused on performers 13<br />

to 18) prepares the premiere of Disney’s<br />

Geppetto & Son, a stage musical newly<br />

combined from the Disney classic<br />

“Pinnochio” and the television movie<br />

“Geppetto.” Composed by legendary<br />

Broadway vet Stephen Schwartz (the hit<br />

musical Wicked, among many others), but<br />

still utilizing iconic songs like “I’ve Got No<br />

Disney Summer<br />

<strong>The</strong>atre <strong>Under</strong> <strong>The</strong> <strong>Stars</strong> presents Disney’s When You Wish as its annual free show<br />

July 15-20 at Miller Outdoor <strong>The</strong>atre.<br />

Strings” and “When You Wish Upon a Star”,<br />

the show takes a new look at the world’s<br />

most famous puppet and his foster father.<br />

Mr. Schwartz, having joined HSMT last fall<br />

for the premiere of <strong>The</strong> Stephen Schwartz<br />

Project, was keen on bringing his latest here<br />

to workshop with the TUTS students; the<br />

composer, along with librettist David I.<br />

Stern, will join the TUTS creative team to<br />

guide the new work forward. Afterward,<br />

<strong>Music</strong> <strong>The</strong>atre International will make the<br />

property licensable across the country, with<br />

the Apprentice Conservatory version as a<br />

prototype. Those dates of performance, in<br />

Zilkha Hall here at the Hobby Center, are<br />

September 12 and 13, with special student<br />

matinees the mornings of September 11 and<br />

12. Filled with signature tunes, lively<br />

dancing, and the ironic humor of a fractured<br />

fairy tale, Disney’s Geppetto & Son is a<br />

show with which the whole family can learn<br />

as they laugh along. As noted by Stern, “It’s<br />

been quite a journey from the first spark of<br />

an idea back in 1994 to a screenplay in 1997<br />

to a movie in 2000 to a stage adaptation in<br />

2005 to the upcoming production at TUTS<br />

this fall. <strong>The</strong> story that we are telling has<br />

continued to evolve with each incarnation,<br />

and I am excited for such a top tier theatre<br />

program to be one of the first theaters to<br />

produce the latest version.”<br />

6 PLAYBILL<br />

Disney <strong>The</strong>atrical and <strong>The</strong>atre <strong>Under</strong> <strong>The</strong><br />

<strong>Stars</strong> have always enjoyed a special<br />

relationship, dating back to 1993, when the<br />

Disney company began to turn to live<br />

theatrical production outside of their parks for<br />

the first time. Disney came to Houston and<br />

TUTS for help with the biggest gamble either<br />

institution ever took: trying to turn the huge hit<br />

movie Beauty and the Beast into a huge hit<br />

live musical. You know the end of that story<br />

already—-countless national and international<br />

tours, and 14 years on Broadway. So it’s only<br />

natural that they partner again, offering that<br />

Disney magic live to Houston audiences—-<br />

and the chance to sing the beloved material to<br />

a new generation of emerging performers.<br />

Disney’s When You Wish and Geppetto & Son<br />

have a strong tradition to live up to, but with<br />

enough luck, could be another “tale as old as<br />

time, song as old as rhyme” like the true<br />

Disney progeny whose heritage they join: that<br />

most famous TUTS World Premiere, Beauty<br />

and the Beast. See them here before they join<br />

their ancestors on Broadway!<br />

Group tickets to Disney’s Geppetto and Son<br />

go on sale May 1 and single tickets go on sale<br />

June 2, 2008. For more ticket information on<br />

MarryingforMama<br />

Faith Prince finds a touch of Chekhov in the meddling<br />

mom she plays in the new musical A Catered Affair<br />

a big wedding), throws a flying wedge into the<br />

elopement, and the conflicts begin—not the<br />

least of which is paying for it (a major money<br />

strain for her shabby-cabby hubby).<br />

To call Aggie the Momma Rose of weddings<br />

overstates it a bit, but not by much. “If<br />

you’d talked to me in San Diego, I might have<br />

said that,” Prince admits. [<strong>The</strong> musical tried<br />

out at the Old Globe there and raked in seven<br />

area awards, including an easy win for Prince.]<br />

b<br />

ells are ringing again on Broadway<br />

for Faith Prince, who nabbed her<br />

Tony 15 years ago for Miss<br />

Adelaide, “the well-known fiancée”<br />

of that artful altar-dodger, Nathan Detroit, in<br />

Guys and Dolls. Now she is conspicuously<br />

queuing up to collect a companion Tony for the<br />

no less marriage-minded Aggie Hurley in A<br />

Catered Affair at the Walter Kerr <strong>The</strong>atre.<br />

Unlike Ever-lovin’ Adelaide, whose 14-yearlong<br />

engagement played havoc with her upper<br />

respiratory tract, Aggie is very much in the<br />

bridal driver’s seat—even if she’s not the bride,<br />

exactly (at least, literally). And instead of<br />

Adelaide’s militant “Marry the <strong>Man</strong> Today,” we<br />

have Aggie’s daugher Janey’s unsentimental<br />

Marry the <strong>Man</strong> Tomorrow (so that Bride and<br />

Groom can avail themselves of a sudden offer<br />

to drive a friend’s car from <strong>The</strong> Bronx to L.A.<br />

and pretend they’re on a free honeymoon).<br />

Aggie, herself a victim of a sudden marriage<br />

(and still longing for the lace and lavishness of<br />

10 PLAYBILL<br />

“Actually, Aggie is quite different from<br />

Momma Rose. She’s not brash and brassy. She’s<br />

cold and controlling, but soon you see what she<br />

has endured. You see she doesn’t really know if<br />

her husband loves her because they had to get<br />

married. As in life, it’s never the present stuff—<br />

it’s what it triggers in the past. I think Aggie is<br />

more a Chekhov woman.”<br />

Early television’s “poet of the pavement,”<br />

Paddy Chayefsky, created “A Catered Affair” for<br />

“<strong>The</strong> Philco Television Playhouse” of May 22,<br />

1955, starring Pat Henning and <strong>The</strong>lma Ritter. A<br />

year later Gore Vidal adapted it into an MGM movie<br />

for Ernest Borgnine and Bette Davis. Now, Harvey<br />

Fierstein has turned both of the above into a<br />

Broadway musical—with songs by John Bucchino—<br />

and retailored the uncle-of-the-house (Barry<br />

Fitzgerald) into an openly gay florist, for himself.<br />

Director John Doyle—previously a Tonywinning<br />

(Sweeney Todd) and Tony-nominated<br />

(Com-pany) interpreter of Sondheim—here<br />

places his bets on the Broadway-bowing<br />

Bucchino. You’ve heard of <strong>The</strong> Horse Whisperer;<br />

his casts refer to Doyle as <strong>The</strong> Actor Whisperer,<br />

and Prince is the latest to praise his gentle methods<br />

of righting a character.<br />

“He always makes you feel great about yourself.<br />

Even if you’re not going the right way, you<br />

never know it because he leads you to where you<br />

should be without ever making you feel you<br />

weren’t there. I can’t tell you what that does for an<br />

actor. It’s good parenting. He takes me places I’ve<br />

never been.”<br />

For starters, Doyle has increased Prince’s<br />

multi-tasking skills. She acts, sings and dances as<br />

always but here while making beds, peeling potatoes,<br />

scrambling eggs—all the dreary dailiness<br />

that is her life, all onstage. Prince breezes through<br />

this “because of the way John works. He does<br />

everything in repetition so you always know what<br />

you’re doing. It’s my favorite way to work. It supports<br />

the play, too, because this mundane stuff is<br />

Aggie’s whole life till she stops and takes stock.<br />

But she stays busy up to that moment.”<br />

A Catered Affair is a low-rent, blue-collar<br />

Father of the Bride—a nuptial taffy-pull among<br />

the bride (Leslie Kritzer), her inner-conflicted<br />

parents (Tom Wopat and Prince) and, oh yes, that<br />

forgotten man, the groom (Matt Cavenaugh)—<br />

all played out at exactly life-size.<br />

“This is the fifth time Tom and I have worked<br />

together, and we’ve always had great chemistry,”<br />

says Prince. [He was Billy Bigelow to her Carrie<br />

Pipperidge in a Kennedy Center Carousel and a<br />

replacement Sky Masterson to her Adelaide on<br />

Broadway; plus they teamed for a Harold Arlen<br />

tour and a nightclub cabaret act.] “He’s just wonderful.<br />

And Leslie Kritzer, who plays my daughter—there’s<br />

such trust there. It feels like she is my<br />

daughter, which is strange because we’re not<br />

warm onstage, but we are offstage.”<br />

Jerome Robbins’ Broadway began Prince’s<br />

Broadway career, handpicked by <strong>The</strong> Master. “I was<br />

really his kind of girl. I always thought I was born 30<br />

years too late and, if I wasn’t right for that show, I’d<br />

better reconsider and do something else.Thank God<br />

he put me in it.” And Robbins’s faith was rewarded<br />

with the first of Faith’s three Tony nominations.<br />

Next came Lorraine Bixby, who arrived<br />

D.O.A and only lingered for nine performances<br />

in Nick & Nora. She was the murder victim the<br />

title sleuths were investigating and would pop up<br />

periodically throughout the evening in telling<br />

flashbacks. It was also the last time she created an<br />

original role for Broadway—until now.<br />

“I feel like I have a purpose in this play, and<br />

that gives me great joy because nothing makes me<br />

happier than to affect people. I really feel that’s<br />

my God-given gift in life.”<br />

Aggie is a gift, too, giving people someone<br />

other than Adelaide with the Prince imprint. “For<br />

some reason, people really related to her. <strong>The</strong>y’d<br />

see me as someone else and say, ‘Well, you’re not<br />

Miss Adelaide.’ Well, I never was. I’m Faith, and<br />

Faith is many different things. It’s a myth comediennes<br />

can’t go another way. <strong>The</strong> mere mention<br />

someone’s a comic means there’s gotta be darkness<br />

there somewhere. That’s what makes the comedy.<br />

It’s a choice to cope, somehow, with something.<br />

It’s so funny when people go, ‘Oh, I had no idea<br />

you could do that.’ Well, of course, of course, I<br />

can do that. I act.”<br />

Playwright Liz Flahive debuts at <strong>Man</strong>hattan<br />

<strong>The</strong>atre Club with her first play, From Up Here<br />

by Ellis Nassour<br />

c<br />

ould playwright Liz Flahive feel<br />

any luckier? Her first play, From Up<br />

Here, about a dysfunctional<br />

Midwestern family in a crisis<br />

involving their son, is getting its world premiere<br />

at <strong>Man</strong>hattan <strong>The</strong>atre Club (MTC).<br />

J O A N M A R C U S<br />

Julie White and Tobias Segal appear<br />

in From Up Here by Liz Flahive (inset)<br />

Julie White stars in her first role<br />

since her Tony and Obie-winning<br />

turn as the shrill but intuitive<br />

actors’ agent in Douglas Carter Beane’s <strong>The</strong><br />

Little Dog Laughed.<br />

Flahive grew up outside Chicago. “I have<br />

great parents, so no inspiration there; however,<br />

like a lot of kids, I struggled with school and<br />

family. Being a teen sucked. I didn’t fit in and<br />

was unhappy and depressed.”<br />

Looking back, she realizes it was just a<br />

phase, “but my happiest moment was my last<br />

day of school, when I knew I was getting out.”<br />

She came to New York, enrolled at NYU and<br />

ultimately found an artistic home in the<br />

14 PLAYBILL<br />

writers group at Ars Nova, which Flahive<br />

describes as a young company with a strong<br />

sense of place. “<strong>The</strong>re was safety and support.<br />

It was an incredible somewhere to be.”<br />

Especially when, straight out of workshop,<br />

her play had buzz. Ars Nova artistic director<br />

Jason Eagan and director of artistic development<br />

Emily Shooltz, formerly with MTC,<br />

heard that MTC was looking for a play and<br />

on a lark sent From Up Here to its associate<br />

director, <strong>Man</strong>dy Greenfield.<br />

MTC executive producer Barry Grove and<br />

acting artistic director Daniel Sullivan decided<br />

to produce it this season in association with<br />

Ars Nova. “It was wild,” says the 28-year-old<br />

Flahive. “Nothing indicated this would be a<br />

possibility. I feel so fortunate and privileged.”<br />

From Up Here is filled with young<br />

characters and a strong adult female, Grace<br />

Warren—played by White—<br />

who in the midst of a volatile<br />

family situation and adjusting<br />

to her second marriage<br />

tries to keep things together<br />

even as they keep unraveling.<br />

Flahive describes White<br />

and director Leigh Silverman<br />

(Beebo Brinker Chronicles,<br />

Well) as good captains. “That<br />

was vital since things had to<br />

come together quickly. When<br />

you have a director and actress who<br />

ask good questions, you can dig in. But I<br />

didn’t have to explain and explain. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

understood the play, and the actors got it right<br />

away. Julie’s fun and wonderful working on a<br />

new play. It’s helpful to have someone with<br />

their ears up. Before you knew it, we were off<br />

to the races.”<br />

Though not over the excitement of having<br />

her first play in front of audiences, Flahive is<br />

working on her next. “It’s coming along. I’m<br />

on page five.”<br />

A LIFE IN<br />

THE THEATRE<br />

by Mervyn Rothstein<br />

Stage professionals look back at decades of devotion to their craft<br />

PLAYWRIGHT AND DIRECTOR ARTHUR LAURENTS<br />

“<br />

Working in the theatre is, to me,<br />

living,” says Arthur Laurents.<br />

At 90, Laurents is still active in the<br />

art form he has loved for over 60 years.<br />

For the third time on Broadway, he is directing<br />

Gypsy—this version, at the St. James <strong>The</strong>atre, stars<br />

Patti Lupone (see related article on page 8).<br />

“This production came along at probably the<br />

worst time,” he says. “Tom Hatcher, with whom I<br />

shared a life for 52 years, died. He had urged me<br />

to do this Gypsy. I did it for him. When I got to<br />

the rehearsal hall, I came back to life.”<br />

Laurents wrote his first<br />

Broadway play, Home of the<br />

Brave, about a Jewish GI in<br />

World War II, in 1945. His<br />

stage credits include the play<br />

<strong>The</strong> Time of the Cuckoo; the<br />

librettos for West Side Story<br />

and Gypsy; directing the original<br />

La Cage aux Folles; and<br />

directing revivals of Gypsy<br />

with Angela Lansbury, Tyne<br />

Daly and LuPone. He has<br />

won two Tonys: in 1968 for<br />

the book of Hallelujah, Baby!,<br />

and in 1984 for La Cage. Screenplays in his<br />

long film career include <strong>The</strong> Way We Were and<br />

<strong>The</strong> Turning Point.<br />

Laurents grew up in Brooklyn. Near his house<br />

was a theatre company. “My cousins and I would<br />

go every Saturday. My parents took me to theatre.<br />

I went alone to Broadway when I was 12.”<br />

After attending Cornell he began writing<br />

radio plays. He served in the Army during World<br />

War II. “And I wrote Home of the Brave. Once that<br />

started, it seemed to me it’s where I belonged.”<br />

He went to the West Coast to write films “for<br />

money. I fell in love. I lived with Farley<br />

Granger.” He was blacklisted for his political<br />

beliefs and lived in Paris before returning to the<br />

New York stage.<br />

Arthur Laurents<br />

In the mid-1950s, Jerome Robbins and<br />

Leonard Bernstein asked him to write the libretto<br />

for what had started as a modern-day musical<br />

Romeo and Juliet, involving Jews and Catholics<br />

and called East Side Story. Laurents and Bernstein<br />

revised the ethnicities to Polish–American and<br />

Puerto Rican, redirected the geography—and<br />

changed musical history.<br />

In 1959 came Gypsy, which many people<br />

call the best musical ever. Laurents has long said<br />

it is his favorite. “I always was proud of it,” he<br />

once told <strong>The</strong> New York Times. “But Gypsy grew to<br />

be a classic. It wasn’t one of<br />

those things that was hailed as<br />

such in the beginning.” (It didn’t<br />

win the Tony, losing to <strong>The</strong><br />

Sound of <strong>Music</strong> and Fiorello!,<br />

which tied.)<br />

Laurents directed a<br />

Broadway musical in 1962<br />

called I Can Get It for You<br />

Wholesale, with a talented<br />

newcomer named Barbra<br />

Streisand in a featured role.<br />

Did he know she would<br />

become a huge star? “Barbra<br />

told you then that her career would be like it<br />

turned out to be. She was 19. And she knew she<br />

was going to be a movie star.”<br />

In the ’80s came La Cage. “One reason I did it<br />

was to show you could do a musical about gay<br />

people with dignity, and it could be a success.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> new Gypsy, first done at City Center last<br />

summer, is different from others, he says. “We’ve<br />

been re-examining, rediscovering, exploring.<br />

What’s the point of doing another revival? You<br />

don’t just revive. You look for new life.”<br />

Laurents will be 91 in July and has no plans to<br />

retire. “I’m doing a revival of West Side Story on<br />

Broadway in 2009, unlike any production ever<br />

done. I’m not going to tell you how. You’ll have to<br />

see it.”<br />

FROM THE FOUNDER/PRODUCING ARTISTIC DIRECTOR<br />

Welcome to the wacky, yet<br />

somehow ordinary, world of <strong>The</strong><br />

Drowsy Chaperone…I know<br />

you'll enjoy the party, even<br />

without supervision! Like our<br />

previous show this season, <strong>The</strong><br />

25th Annual Putnam County<br />

Spelling Bee, this one marks the<br />

passion and mission of writerperformers<br />

to express their own<br />

individual, wonderful point of<br />

view. Originally created as a<br />

celebratory wedding reception<br />

skit to enliven the nuptials of two members of a theatre-crazy<br />

Canadian clique, <strong>The</strong> Drowsy Chaperone was just too much<br />

fun to be performed only once. <strong>The</strong> writer-performers, whose<br />

real names remain with their fictional counterparts (Bob<br />

Martin and Janet Van De Graaff) in the show to this day, kept<br />

adding to and expanding the piece with their colleagues Lisa<br />

Lambert, Greg Morrison, and Don McKeller. It ran in clubs and<br />

special engagements in Canada, then just kept<br />

growing…through development with the TUTS-founded<br />

National Alliance for <strong>Music</strong>al <strong>The</strong>atre, and finally on to five<br />

Tony Awards, seven Drama Desk Awards, and one <strong>The</strong>atre<br />

World Award in New York City. At its heart, though, the real<br />

Bob Martin was playing host (on Broadway, as the central<br />

narrator, "<strong>Man</strong> in Chair") to each audience, welcoming them<br />

to an escapist haven of great old-fashioned high jinks and<br />

farce, filled with lively music and clever banter…unlike almost<br />

any wedding any of us have been to, but always secretly<br />

wished to attend.<br />

Speaking of "wishing", thanks to the collaboration and<br />

creativity of Disney <strong>The</strong>atrical that brought Beauty and the<br />

Beast to us first, once again TUTS will be working with them<br />

to share quality family entertainment with our Houston<br />

community…only this time for free! Allowing access to their<br />

vast musical catalogue, TUTS will be workshopping a musical<br />

revue called Disney’s When You Wish for this July in our<br />

birthplace, Hermann Park's Miller <strong>The</strong>atre. We've been out<br />

there since 1968 when we helped open the venue, the only<br />

arts group to appear annually all these four decades, with a<br />

free week of musical theatre yearly for anyone to enjoy. It'll be<br />

complete with the songs you love, all the way from “A Dream<br />

is A Wish Your Heart Makes" to "Zip-a-dee-doo-dah!", with<br />

movies from Winnie <strong>The</strong> Pooh all the way home to Aladdin.<br />

Our HSMT Academy students, along with a cast of<br />

professional singers and dancers, will bring the "most magical<br />

place on earth" here to Houston each night July 15 through<br />

July 20. What a very special, and appropriate, way to close our<br />

Fortieth Anniversary year. Who knows, maybe the next Bob<br />

Martin or Janet Van De Graaf will be there, onstage or<br />

humming along in the audience, and grow up to write their<br />

own "wish" into their own Broadway show.<br />

Such amazing things could happen, when you champion<br />

musical theatre with TUTS….thanks for the support!<br />
