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 />

<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 />

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 />

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 />
