ABOUT THE SHOWS
THEATRE ASPEN 2022 SUMMER SEASON
JUNE 27 -
JULY 23
Regarded by many theatre professionals as the finest musical ever created, Gypsy is the ultimate tale of
an ambitious stage mother fighting for her daughters’ success - while secretly yearning for her own. Set all
across America in the 1920s and 30s, when vaudeville was dying and burlesque was born, Arthur Laurents’
landmark show explores the world of two-bit show business with brass, humor, heart, and sophistication.
The celebrated score by Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim boasts one glorious hit after another,
including: “Everything’s Coming Up Roses,” “Let Me Entertain You,” “Some People,” “You’ll Never Get
Away from Me,” “If Momma Was Married,” “All I Need Is the Girl,” “You Gotta Get A Gimmick,”
“Small World,” and “Roses Turn.”
AUGUST
1-23
Oh what a night it will be -- with phenomenal music, memorable characters, and great storytelling, Jersey
Boys follows the fascinating evolution of four blue-collar kids who became one of the greatest successes
in pop-music history. Winner of Best Musical at both the Tony Awards ® and Olivier Awards ® , Jersey Boys
takes you behind the music of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons to discover the secret of a 40-year
friendship as the foursome work their way from the streets of New Jersey to the heights of stardom.
Thrill your audiences with electrifying performances of chart-topping hits including “Sherry,” “Big Girls
Don’t Cry,” “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,” “Dawn,” and “My Eyes Adored You,” which brought The Four
Seasons the highest honor: induction into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame.

Dear Theatre Aspen Friends,
As we approach our 40th Anniversary Season in 2023, it seems like a
good moment to reflect on how far our wonderful theatre has come
and share with you some of our dreams for the future.
From our humble start in the basement of the Jerome Hotel, to
what is considered perhaps the most stunning theatrical setting
anywhere, the John Denver Sanctuary, we are fortunate each year to
serve an ever-expanding audience through our Mainstage shows, our
cabarets, our student classes, and productions.
As we get ready to enter our fifth decade, we hope to expand our
impact beyond the Roaring Fork Valley by building on our pilot
efforts in Parachute, expanding our Solo Flights Festival, and of
course, continuing to produce the best Mainstage productions we
possibly can.
None of this would be possible without your steadfast enthusiasm
and support.
Enjoy Gypsy and Jersey Boys this summer. Join us for cabaret
nights at the Jerome. Come see our student artists. Come celebrate
theatrical storytelling in Aspen and join us in September for another
spectacular line-up of original plays and musicals.
With heartfelt gratitude from the most beautiful place in the world to
make art...

we act.
When it’s time to promote, support, and embrace our community,
Even in Aspen, with its cultural riches and
world-class everything, it is community members
of all sorts who provide the daily support to keep
things humming, singing, playing, and dancing.
That’s a year-round effort, whether on the stage, in
the boardroom, or at the front of the house.
We’re theatre people, and we can’t imagine not
giving our time and effort to keep the curtain open
and the quality, well, Broadway. But we’re house
people, too. And the reason we help our clients
find their homes in this town is because we can’t
imagine finding ours anywhere else.

CHEF ALEXANDER KIM began his cooking career
following a grand tour of great European kitchens and
two apprenticeships working with the inspiring and
notable French chefs Paul Bocuse and Roger Verge.
Upon returning to Colorado in 1985, Chef Kim was
selected in 1988 by the Grand Chefs of America for “Finest
Restaurant – Outstanding Chef 1987–1988.” Following his
heart to the mountains in the early ’90s, he accepted
a position as executive chef of Syzygy in Aspen, where
he was selected by Distinguished Restaurants of North
America to receive the “DiRoNA Award” in 1993 and 1994.
Alex was also selected as “Discovery Chef of 1994” by the
James Beard Foundation.
In 1995, Alex and his wife Laura decided to diversify
their cooking and hospitality talents and start their
catering company: Fusion Design and Catering. With
a notable background as a manager in the restaurant
and nightclub industry since the early ’80s, Laura takes
care of the business details from beginning to end.
For the Kims, cooking is art. Their boutique catering
business model and philosophy is “one of a kind, one at
a time.” Celebrating 27 years of professional catering in
Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley, Fusion describes their
style of cooking with their love for many cuisines: a
harmonious blend of colors, textures, tastes, and aromas
together with a mixture of cooking techniques and
ingredients obtained locally and from around the world.

with the jazz bands of 1920’s Chicago and as vocal coach

With lyricist Sammy Cahn, he created a string of hit songs
including “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!” and
the Oscar-winning “Three Coins in the Fountain.” His
theatre collaborations with Betty Comden and Adolph
Green, Stephen Sondheim, Bob Merrill, Leo Robin and
E.Y. Harburg resulted in such Broadway showstoppers

MARSHALL BRICKMAN (Book, Jersey Boys) Films
(author or co-author): Sleeper, Annie Hall, Manhattan,
Manhattan Murder Mystery, For the Boys, Intersection;
(as writer/director): Simon, Lovesick, The Manhattan Project,
Sister Mary Explains it All. Television: “The Tonight Show
With Johnny Carson” (head writer), “The Dick Cavett Show”
(head writer/co-producer). He has published in The New
York Times, The New Yorker, Playboy and other periodicals
and was the 2006 recipient of the Writers Guild of America’s
Ian McClellan Hunter Lifetime Achievement Award. Jersey
Boys, his first venture into musical theatre, won four Tonys
including Best Musical. The Addams Family, his second
Broadway venture (with co-author Rick Elice), is currently
playing on national and international tours. He lives in New
York City and hopes to die in his sleep, surrounded by his
loved ones and their attorneys.
RICK ELICE (Book, Jersey Boys) co-wrote Jersey Boys
(winner 2006 Tony Award, 2007 Grammy Award and 2009
Olivier Award for Best Musical) with Marshall Brickman. His
play, Peter and the Starcatcher, received nine 2012 Tony Award
nominations (including two for Rick) and won five — more
than any play of the season. It’s currently playing in New York
and on tour across North America. Also on Broadway, Elice
wrote The Addams Family (with Marshall Brickman, music

with productions in Europe and South America. In 2014,
the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego presented the world

Disney Theatricals with Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, based on
the film Make Believe, and Super Fly (co-written with Seth
Zvi Rosenfeld), directed and choreographed by modern

work in the theatre makes him grateful for the day he was
born: Sondheim, Stoppard, Bennett, Prince, Fosse, Robbins,
Nichols, Tune, Nunn, Laurents, Stone, Kushner, Taymor, Papp,
Schumacher, Schneider, Coyne, Brickman, Timbers and Rees.
Rick thinks about them a lot. He never thought about Jersey
much. He does now.
BOB GAUDIO (Composer, Jersey Boys) wrote his first
hit, “Who Wears Short Shorts,” at 15, for the Royal Teens,
and then went on to become a founding member of the
Four Seasons and the band’s principal songwriter. He also
produced the hit “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers” for Neil
Diamond and Barbra Streisand (Grammy nomination, Record
of the Year) as well as six albums for Diamond, including
The Jazz Singer. Other producing credits include albums for
Frank Sinatra, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross, Michael Jackson and
the soundtrack for the film Little Shop of Horrors. Several
songs co-written with Bob Crewe have been cover hits for
such artists as the Tremeloes (“Silence is Golden”), the
Walker Brothers (“The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore”)
and Lauryn Hill (“Can’t Take My Eyes Off You”). With his
wife, Judy Parker, Gaudio produced and co-wrote the Who
Loves You album for the Four Seasons and one of Billboard’s
longest-charted singles (54 weeks), “Oh, What a Night.”
A high point in his career came in 1990 when, as a member
of the original Four Seasons, Gaudio was inducted into
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 1995, he was inducted
into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, which hailed him as “a
quintessential music-maker.” To this day, Bob Gaudio and
Frankie Valli still maintain their partnership…on a handshake.
BOB CREWE (Lyricist, Jersey Boys) “New York was
pregnant in the fifties,” says Bob Crewe, “gestating with
possibilities.” Crewe and music partner Frank Slay became
independent writer-producers when the category hadn’t
yet been invented. In 1957 they wrote and produced
“Silhouettes” for The Rays, which skyrocketed to #1.
Suddenly, producers in demand, they launched Freddie
Cannon’s “Tallahassee Lassie” and Billy & Lillie’s “Lah Dee
Da.” Crewe’s 1960’s unprecedented producing success with
The Four Seasons birthed a new sound, striking a major
chord in American pop. “Sherry, “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Walk
Like a Man,” “Candy Girl,” “Ronnie” – all smashes! When
lead Frankie Valli demanded a solo turn, Crewe and Bob
Gaudio wrote (and Crewe produced) ‘Can’t Take My Eyes Off
of You,” which eventually became the century’s fifth mostplayed
song. Crewe ran hot with artists from Vicki Carr, Oliver
and Lesly Gore to Mitch Ryder, co-writing with Charles Fox
the soundtrack for Jane Fonda’s film, “Barbarella.” Then his
own Bob Crewe Generation exploded with Music to Watch
Girls By. In 1972 Bob was in L.A., where he revived Frankie
Valli with “My Eyes Adored You” by Crewe and Kenny Nolan.
They also co-wrote Patti LaBelle’s “Lady Marmalade” (#1,
July ’75), which was a hit again on the soundtrack of Moulin
Rouge (#1, June ’01)…David Ritz.
