Toronto's Jersey Boys gets a rave

Although it came out a week ago, I missed Richard Ouzounian's review of the new, largely Canadian cast of Jersey Boys. He loved it, and so far most of the commentators have as well. Check out the review here. And if you want to order tickets for the show click here.

Hair gets the Broadway go ahead

Great news, the Public Theatre's production of Hair, which received raves for It's run in Central Park last summer, has gotten the financial go ahead to move to Broadway. The move had been in the works for a while but the sudden slow down in the theatre economy threatened to derail the project, when the lead producer Elizabeth McCann came up short with financial backers. But Ms. McCann and The Public have reached a legal agreement to move forward. Hair is scheduled to begin previews March 6 at the Al Hirschfeld Theater. Click here to read the Times article.

Buoyant Broadway

Despite the recent onslaught of closures on Broadway, things, both here in Toronto, and south of the border appear to be stable, if not going strong. Yes, there have been setbacks, Rob Roy being the saddest in my opinion. But if one takes a look at the theatre call sheets there are still plenty of shows to go see. And prices have dropped to the point that we all might be able to go back to the theatre. Of course there are still signs of weakness. There are a lot more revivals planned for 2009, and a lot of new stuff that isn't actually new. And runs of new productions are being scheduled for conservatively short runs. But in my opinion even those negatives are positives, because it means that the theatre world has adapted to the current marketplace, rather than trying to defy it. Investors are being smart right now in recognizing that good quality standards are going to keep the industry afloat until capital returns for risky investments. It also means that new projects that get the green light are going to have to be worth it, and well done. That in turn means that we wont be seeing over-the-top junk, (ehm Tale of Two Cities.) Theatre might be able, in these lean times, to be more creative. Limitations often provide the best opportunity for creativity, so I for one am excited about this season of theatre.

David Mirvish Books on Art

There is a sad rumor floating around out there that David Mirvish Books on Art is closing. This is really bad news for the Toronto Art scene. DMBA is an important institution, no U of T art student that I know has spent a year at school without having to trek over to Mirvish Village to buy text books. And even if you don't have something specific in mind, you can lose yourself in the racks at DMBA. And yes that is a Frank Stella in the picture, wonder what David Mirvish is going to do with it when the bookstore closes.

Rob Roy - it doesn't look good

Not only is the Toronto theatre god, Richard Ouzounian, talking about it, but EAP has gotten some inside information which confirms that Rob Roy is really in trouble. The Chicago tour is finished, before it ever even began. And now the Toronto run is also in question. Creator David Warrack has been reaching into his own, not so deep, pockets to pay the cast and crew, and rehearsals, scheduled to begin last Monday have yet to get underway. I think this is a moment for Canadian theatre producers to come together and by whatever means necessary get this show on at the Elgin. From what we have heard on the inside, it is even worse than Ouzounian conceded. Some have even gone so far as to say that this economy and the timing of the show's failure could bankrupt Warrack, and Rob Roy might never see the light of day.

In other theatre news, Mirvish has announced their season. It's a snooze, with the exception of a limited run of August Osage County, and the North American premiere of The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert . Ouzounian is also reporting that talks are still underway for Mirvish to bring 39 Steps and In the Heights, so I guess we will have to wait and see. Priscilla is exciting, and EAP has some good friends who have been to several rounds of call backs and we wish them all the best. And hey if you don't get it there is always Forever Plaid.

Jersey Boys update

Check out the Toronto Star's theatre journalist Richard Ouzounian's recent review of the Toronto production of Jersey Boys. The show has been revamped with an almost entire Canadian cast and Ouzounian is describing the production as, "the best of the five companies I've seen across North America" (thestar.com).

OMG Patti is so fierce

This might be even better than when she stared the audience down for the incessant phone calls.



I only want to be a DIVA if I can be just like Patti.

Hunter Parrish of TV's Weeds and Spring Awakening

As a follow up to Justin's post below about the closing of Spring Awakening I thought I would link the New York Times article, that ran in Saturday's paper about Hunter Parrish. You may know Parrish from television's "Weeds," one of my favourite shows. But you may not know that he has been starring in Spring Awakening for several months. Both Justin and I saw him, and I for one was really impressed. Usually when TV or film stars come back to the stage it ends up being a little Katie Holmes, but Parrish wowed. He has an impressive voice, and a lot of presence. I can't wait to see how the experience informs his performances in "Weeds" this season.

Spring Awakening closes this evening

Seeing Broadway's Spring Awakening was an overwhelming emotional experience. It was affecting and captivating. It is a jolting and exhilarating piece of contemporary theatre that explored new revolutionary theatre techniques and succeeded in doing so. Spring Awakening's rock score is strong and the staging is fast paced and wickedly engrossing. 

It is coming to Toronto in a few months and I encourage every single person to fight, beg, buy, or steal a ticket for this shows short run at the Canon Theatre. It is incredible and a must see. 

It concludes its Broadway run tonight at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre and I am in mourning. 

"Following a critically acclaimed premiere Off-Broadway at the Atlantic Theater Company in 2006, Spring Awakening arrived on Broadway Nov. 16, 2006, and officially opened Dec. 10. As of its final performance, the new musical will have played 859 performances and 29 previews on Broadway"(playbill.com).

Happy Day A New Musical opening at the Elgin next month

In under a month, one of the largest new musical productions Toronto has seen in a few years will be opening at the Elgin. Happy Days A New Musical, based on the hit show of the same title, was formatted for the stage by the original author Garry Marshall and composer Paul Williams, writer of famed Carpenter's song We've Only Just Begun, among others. When I first heard Dancap was bringing Happy Days I was skeptical, but with the opening just around the corner I am getting excited for it. It's big for Toronto to be producing a truly new musical, and it could be really strong. It has all the potential to be a great musical. Below is the Dancap preview from YouTube, and the link below that is to the Happy Days trailer, which is longer but better quality. It is difficult to tell from the clips, but I hope the songs stand out more in the production than they seem to in the teasers.

I did not know this existed!

I was really drawn to this song featuring this incredible singer Lauren Kennedy, when i first heard it, on her sole album of music by Jason Robert Brown. But I had never thought to look for video footage. So when I found this today I was thrilled. Not only is this a great song, and JRB is playing, which is awesome, but I personally think that Lauren Kennedy has one of the most powerful, raw, and perfect voices in the business today. And here she is live and she sounds every bit as authentic, she's a star.

This too shall pass

We in the theatre business should take the Horton Foote attitude towards the down-turn in the economy and its impact on our livelihood. Foote is the 92 year old playwright, who's play, "Dividing the Estate" closed Sunday. He is quoted in Patrick Healy and Dave Iitzkoff's article in today's New York Times as saying, "I have more plays in me that I want to see performed on Broadway,” Mr. Foote said. “And I’m sure I will.” Yes, we all have more in us and it will surely come to pass, if we just keep working at it.

Festen gets big leg up

Festen, a show Justin saw and raved about got a big nod from the Globe and Mail. J. Kelly Nestruck, who writes the theatre blog for The G and M, listed Festen as one of the best of 2008. Well done. Click here to check out the rest of Nestruck's favorites.

Don't go Magic Theatre

Some of the more avid EAP followers will know that I grew up in San Francisco, before moving to the wonderful town that is Toronto. And others might know that San Francisco is a great theatre city. A city where Beach Blanket Babylon has been running for 30 odd years and a company like the Magic Theatre, which has been producing shows, and been part of several premiere runs for 42 years. So I was saddened today when the Times published a short article that the Magic Theatre may be in trouble. They need to raise 600,000 fast or they may have to shut their doors. If you know about the Magic I would encourage you to donate. I know economic times are hard, but you can write-off any donation you make. Please go to the Magic Theatre's website to learn more. That is magictheatre.org, if you have any trouble. And give generously.
