Notes from the Big Apple

I've been down in New York since last weekend, to celebrate American Thanksgiving with my extended family. I love spending a few days in New York City before the holiday, catching up with old friends and seeing shows. This trip I was really excited because there are some interesting new musicals on Broadway. Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, got a great preview write up in the New York Times and seemed promising, as did, Kander and Ebb's final work, The Scottsboro Boys. Also on my short list was, American Idiot, the new show, set to the music of Green Day. There are some real heavyweights on Broadway right now. James Earl Jones and Vanessa Redgrave are starring in Driving Miss Daisy. Elaine Stritch and Bernadette Peters are back on Broadway in A Little Night Music. Ms. Kristen Chenoweth is starring opposite Sean Hayes in Promises, Promises, which also features a cameo by Molly Shannon. And the incomprable Patti Lupone is in the new show, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, based on the classic film by Pedro Almodovar.

With so many shows to choose from it was a tough call as to what I should see during my limited time in town. So my first stop was to visit my friends at New York Theatre Barn . I wanted to find out what they have seen and what they would recommend. Unfortunately they did not have great things to say about a few of the above mentioned shows and their criticism was echoed by a few other trusted voices. Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, was probably the show I was most excited about but from everything I have heard it may not be worth seeing. Most of the criticism for the show was about the music. Several people have told me that the score is not very good, and one person even went so far as to say that the show doesn't have a score. Yikes! Other people took issue with the story, saying that the show had some clever bits but either didn't develop them or made them into cheap jokes rather than anything with substance. Too bad. I also heard similar criticism for American Idiot. Most detractors felt that it isn't really a musical, but actually a song cycle. Not that there is anything wrong with a song cycle, but you get the picture.

Nobody I talked to had seen the Scottsboro Boys yet, but it was definitely the hot ticket in town. Everyone wants to see it, including me. The show tells the story of nine black boys who were arrested in 1931, for allegedly raping two white women, while traveling by train in the South. The show is also the last fully published collaboration between Kander and Ebb. The legendary duo wrote such classics, as Cabaret and Chicago, and had several shows in development, but Mr. Fred Ebb sadly passed away in 2004.

Usually when I am in town. I like to get half price tickets from TKTS in Times Square, for Wednesday matinees. You never know what is going to be available, which is half the fun of it, and you are guaranteed to have some choices. This year the line was unusually short, I practically walked right up to the window. There weren't nearly as many shows up as I had hoped, but both Promises, Promises and Women on the Verge... were available. Despite my great love and admiration for Ms. Lupone I opted for the former. I am frankly sick of seeing movies turned musicals on Broadway, and Promises is a classic.

The score of Promises, was written by Burt Bacharach and feature such iconic tunes as, "I Say a Little Prayer", and "I'll Never Fall in Love Again." Neil Simon wrote the book, so all and all it's a pretty solid piece. The show stars Sean Hayes, of Will and Grace fame, and despite a touch of cold that was evident he held his own and was very charming. When the revival was reviewed at least one critic chastised Mr. Hayes for being "too gay" for the role, a criticism which I have occasionally lobbied against other actors. But I actually didn't find his portrayal overly campy. No more so than the show itself, which is pretty camp.

As for Ms. Chenoweth, I have very mixed feelings about her. Her unique vocal tone does sometimes grate on my nerves but there is no denying her vocal prowess, and she as endearing as ever, not to mention perfectly cast, in the role of Fran Kubelik. She and Mr Hayes have an obvious affection for one another that helps sell their love story. With a little help from Molly Shannon the show has a lot of laughs and lightens the heart. There is nothing heavy hitting about Promises, Promises, but then again does a show have to be challenging to be entertaining? Definitely not.

I will be in town a few more days and am going to try and get to one or two more shows. Scottsboro Boys anyone?

33 Variations

One nice plus side to this recession is that it makes theatre tickets, even for the hottest shows affordable again. Last Sunday I had to opportunity, for thirty dollars, to see Jane Fonda in 33 Variations. 33 Variations is the new play by Moises Kaufman, famed writer of the Laramie Project. Variations boosts a fantastic cast, standouts include Ms. Fonda, as the prickly musicologist Katherine Brandt, who fights her daughter and her failing health by heading to Bonn, Germany to complete a book about Beethoven's famous 33 variations on a waltz by Anton Diabelli. Other standouts include Colin Hanks, of Mad Men, as the nurse-turned-lover of Fonda's daughter who ends up travelling to Bonn and assists in the final months of Brandt's life. I also loved Susan Kellerman as Brandt's colleague and friend Dr. Gertrude Ladenburger.

The script juxtaposes Brandt's work and death with that of the original inspiration Ludwig van Beethoven, played with aplomb by Zach Grenier. And the story works. Separated by 200 years Brandt and Beethoven's connection is well concocted. The set also adds in the fluidity of the script. With panels of sheet music acting as mobile walls that travel around the stage, hiding and revealing the actors of the two time periods. Additionally the script calls for a pianist who plays throughout the work. The addition of a live musician adds exponentially to the overall experience. And some of the most moving scenes, in particular one in which Grenier, as Beethoven, describes the music he is writing as Diana Walsh, the pianist/musical director, plays.

Some elements of script are not as strong as the overall piece. And a lot of the dialogue sounds didactic, and overly expository. There are moments in the writing and directing that feel overly scripted and staged, but all in all those moments don't overshadow the piece which is compelling and fascinating to watch. Fonda, who hasn`t been on stage in nearly 50 years, had a few line flubs the afternoon I saw the show, and in talking to others it is a recurring problem. But, she has an incredible amount of lines in this piece, and as the story progresses she is suffering from Lou Gehrig’s, so it mattered less and less, and her stage presence is wonderful. She is perfectly cast. I felt Samantha Mathis, as Claire Brandt, Fonda's daughter was not as strong, but I couldn't decide if it was her acting, the direction, or the script that let her down. My only other slight criticism was that the second act dragged in comparison with the first, and while the story wraps up nicely I thought the second act could have been tighter. But if you are in New York, I wouldn't miss 33 Variations.

You're Welcome America. A Final Night with George W Bush opens tonight!

You're Welcome America. A Final Night with George W Bush, which casts former 'Saturday Night Live' star Will Ferrell as the 43rd President of the United States, officially opens tonight at Broadway's Cort Theatre Feb.

The production, which began previews Jan. 20, is currently scheduled to run through March 15.

Ferrell is joined onstage by Michael Delaney as Dr. Scott Blumeth, Patrick Ferrell as a Secret Service Operative, Pia Glenn as Condoleezza Rice and Adam Mucci as the Pilot. Mindy Haywood is the understudy for the role of Condoleezza Rice.

You're Welcome America is directed by Adam McKay, Ferrell's longtime collaborator. These two have collaborated on numerous projects including some really irritating Ferrell pictures of the past few years, so let's hope they do Broadway well. 

The production features scenic design by Eugene Lee, costume design by Tom Broecker, lighting design by Brian MacDevitt, sound design by Peter Fitzgerald and video design by Lisa Cuscuna/Chris Cronin with choreography by Matt Williams and flying effects (!!!) by Flying by Foy. Charles Means is the production stage manager.

HBO will air a live telecast of You're Welcome America. A Final Night with George W Bush on March 14, and will be directed by Marty Callner.

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.
