1st Stage, Arena Stage, Cabaret, Capital Fringe, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, DC Theatre, Dear Evan Hansen, Dogfight, Fringe Festival, Keegan Theatre, musical, National Theatre, Newsies, Play, Signature Theatre, summer cabarets, The Good Counselor, theatreWashington

On Tuesday, I had the pleasure of seeing Newsies at the National Theatre. Not only did it remind me how much I loved the show on Broadway, but the message of “seizing the day” resonated more than ever. So, while summer in the DC area is full of activities, I recommend you don’t delay and see a show (or several)! Here are a few recommendations:

  • Cabaret at Signature Theatre (running through June 28) ~ Tickets are scarce, so act fast if you want to see this stellar musical!
  • The Good Counselor, a drama, is an intriguing play running at 1st Stage through June 28 – Don’t forget that 1st Stage is now a short walk away from the Spring Hill Metro Station!
  • Capital Fringe’s Summer Fringe Festival 2015 features a variety of new work at several DC locations in July ~ Plus, if you like to fit this in with other shows, performance times vary, many allowing for multiple shows in one night!
  • The Sizzlin’ Summer Cabarets series at Signature Theatre offers a variety of shows in July that likely has something for everyone’s tastes ~ I highly recommend the Revenge of the Understudies Cabaret that features Signature’s understudies from the 2014-2015 season!
  • Dear Evan Hansen at Arena Stage (July 10 – August 23) ~ This world premiere Pasek & Paul musical boasts a fantastic cast, featuring many Broadway actors.
  • Keegan Theatre reopens on a high note with productions of Cat in a Hot Tin Roof and Dogfight this summer, and personally, I can’t wait to check out their new facility!

This list barely touches on the theatre opportunities in the DC area this summer. Visit theatreWashington.org for a more complete list!

The Heat Is On In the West End

Alistair Brammer, Broadway, Cameron Mackintosh, Carrie Hope Fletcher, Eponine, Eva Noblezada, Hugh Maynard, J. Mark McVey, Jean Valjean, Kwang-Ho Hong, Les Miserables, Marius, Megamusical, Miss Saigon, musical, Peter Lockyer, Rachelle Ann Go, Ramin Karimloo, Revival, Rob Houchen, theatre, West End

London’s West End provides some of the greatest theatre in the world, and Cameron Mackintosh knows the way to my heart since he is the producer behind my top two shows in London’s West End at the moment: Miss Saigon and Les Miserables. I was particularly eager for my latest London holiday because I would finally be seeing Miss Saigon in London!

Miss Saigon did not disappoint. Eva Noblezada was the perfect choice for Kim. She’s young and ferociously talented. Her performance brought me to tears throughout the entire show.

Meanwhile, I had a gut feeling that Cameron Mackintosh would cast a past Marius (in Les Miserables) as Chris, and his choice could not have been better. I saw Alistair Brammer in Les Miserables and War Horse previously, and while those performances were wonderful, his performance as Chris takes his career to the next level. His voice sounds stunning during “Why God Why”.

Then, there’s Hugh Maynard, who takes the powerful Act 2 opener, “Bui Doi” to new heights. His beautiful voice ensures this song will be a hit with the audience at every show. I cannot wait to gets my hands on the new album and listen to this song repeatedly.

The rest of the cast was well selected too. Rachelle Ann Go gives a standout performance as Gigi, as does Kwang-Ho Hong as Thuy. The entire ensemble helps the harsh circumstances at the end of the Vietnam War hit home during “Kim’s Nightmare”, my favorite part of the show.

Beyond the cast, Miss Saigon boasts an elaborate set, a grand orchestra, intense lighting and sound effects, and an epic score. The story is so momentous that it’s no surprise this musical attracts tourists from all over the world. I will definitely be back the next time I’m in London.

Another performance I loved in London? Les Miserables. I’ve the seen the show over 70 times, and the West End performances hold a special place in my heart. The current Jean Valjean, Peter Lockyer, performed in the US tour recently as well, so after catching two shows in London, I’ve seen him 19 times in the role. His performance is one of the best I’ve seen. Notably, Jean Valjeans who have returned to the role after involvement in previous or other productions seem to bring a deeper understanding to the character. Other top Jean Valjean performances I’ve seen include Les Mis veterans J. Mark McVey and Ramin Karimloo, who is currently starring in the role on Broadway. I love seeing debuts in Les Miserables in the West End, and the current cast features many West End debuts. Rob Houchen, the Marius in the current West End cast is superb, and I love Carrie Hope Fletcher’s Eponine (she made her adult performance debut in Les Miserables after starring in several productions when she was younger).

Moreover, the crowds adore Les Mis in London, and the show continually sells out despite almost 30 years on the West End. Amazing! There’s noting like listening to “Do You Hear the People Sing?” in the magnificent Queen’s Theatre to make your day a little more magical. If you’ve never seen Les Mis in the West End, you’re missing out on an incredible performance.

Anthony Rapp, Dogfight, Donmar Warehouse, Frances Ruffelle, Keegan Theatre, London, Menier Chocolate Factory, musical, My Night with Reg, Old Vic, Pasek and Paul, Play, Southwark Playhouse, St. James Theatre, theatre, Urinetown, West End, Without You, Young Vic

Over many years, I’ve learned about the diversity of London theatre. Most theatregoers are aware of the wonderful productions gracing the West End theatre scene. However, there’s an abundance of other theatres making up the Off West End theatre scene that often provide more intimate and immersive productions.

For me, my education of this facet of the London theatre scene began in 2008 when I took a theatre class while studying in London. With my theatre class, I would attend one show a week that could be anywhere from a West End stage, the National Theatre, or a meat locker on the outskirts of London. I never knew a show could be performed in any sort of room prior to this class, and the more cozy, site-specific shows are the ones that have stayed with me most in the years since I took this class.

During my holidays in London since 2008, I have slowly been making my way to some incredible Off West End theatres, including:

  • Donmar Warehouse
  • Menier Chocolate Factory
  • Old Vic
  • Southwark Playhouse
  • The St. James Theatre
  • Young Vic

A few years back, I caught Anthony Rapp’s incredible one-man show, Without You, at the Menier Chocolate Factory, and it was such a touching treat. In March, I saw one of my theatrical idols, Frances Ruffelle, on stage at the Southwark Playhouse, and her voice is just as epic live as I imagined. Earlier this year, I also had the pleasure of seeing Urinetown at the St. James Theatre. It begins previews in a few days on the West End, and I encourage all who can to see it. The dark comedy boasts an amazing cast that will make you want to see it again and again.

A couple weeks ago in London, I returned to the Southwark Playhouse to see Dogfight, a show I had sadly missed in NYC despite my love for all music by Pasek and Paul. I had high expectations and yet was blown away with the cast and creative team. The simple set and small orchestra suited the show’s tough topics. The story was both heartbreaking and heartwarming, featuring a great balance of romance, humor, darkness, and lightheartedness. Knowing the styles of the actors who created the roles in NYC, I could see how they left their touches on the characters they created, but the actors in this production did a good job of making the characters their own. I would have seen it again if I could have, but the show was closing the week I saw it and I was short on time. I sincerely hope there are many more productions of Dogfight that I can see in the future. According to MTI, Keegan Theatre in DC is scheduled to do the show in the spring, so I am crossing my fingers that their renovations will be finished in time!

Additionally, I visited the Donmar Warehouse for the first time recently to see My Night with Reg. The play had a unique take on the time when HIV/AIDS was disrupting the gay community. I was amazed by the talented actors, fitting set, and awesome sound design, but my favorite part of the experience was the theatre itself. It’s a very small space with cushioned benches for seats, and you are never that far away from the action. Moreover, the theatre is conveniently located near Covent Garden. I hope to return soon.

There is so much more to the London theatre scene than just the West End. If you are in London or have the opportunity to visit, please check out one of the many marvelous Off West End theatres.

Do You Hear the People Sing?

Broadway, Caissie Levy, Les Miserables, musical, Nikki M. James, Ramin Karimloo, theatre, Will Swenson

For those that know me or follow this blog, you know that Les Miserables is important to me. Okay, very important to me. My relationship with the show started over twenty years ago, and through the show, I’ve learned about life, love, pain, talent, and theatre (amongst other things). Needless to say, I’ve been eagerly awaiting today’s casting announcement.

Ramin Karimloo (Jean Valjean): I was rooting for him to be Jean Valjean on Broadway. I’ve seen him in various musicals, including as JVJ in Les Mis. He has a beautiful voice that eloquently brings to life the music. He is a skilled actor too. I also hoped he’d be JVJ because JVJs improve with age and time. Revisiting the material and performing the show over a period of time tends to lead to a better and better performances. I am excited to see the further evolution of his portrayal of JVJ.

Will Swenson (Javert): Many find this choice particularly unexpected. However, he has an extensive career in theatre and major vocal chops. I’ve never seen him perform a role like this so that will be a new experience. I’m not sure how it will compare to some of the legendary Jean Valjeans I’ve seen in the past, including Earl Carpenter and Andrew Varela. It’s a character that has been interpreted very differently over the years, and I expect he will have a unique take on the role. I’m excited to get a new perspective on this character.

Caissie Levy (Fantine): Some find this choice odd too. Every time I see Caissie live, she impresses me. She has a show-stopping voice, so I look forward to experiencing her rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream”. Again, I have never seen her in a role like this, but I think she’s ready. I’ve been fortunate enough to see some incredible interpretations of this characters, and despite hoping for an opportunity to see some of those interpretations repeated, I’m eager to see her take on this character’s struggle.

Nikki M. James (Eponine): Again, this choice seems to be surprising to people. Not to me. I expected the casting powers at be to choose someone for this role who was very different from the original interpretation. “On My Own” has perhaps brought in the most fans to Les Mis over the years. The song certainly got me hooked when I was five. Nikki M. James won a Tony for Book of Mormon in part thanks to show-stopping numbers like “Sal Tlay Ka Siti” and “Hasa Diga Eebowai” (Reprise), and consequently, I have reason to believe that she will make the anthem-like “On My Own” a memorable show-stopping moment too. She’s become a familiar face on Broadway. Although I would have love to seen a fresh, unknown actress cast in this role, I do want to see this show stick around on Broadway for a while, which likely means casting established actors, at least for now.

To know exactly what these performers will bring to Les Mis, we’ll have to wait until March of 2014 to see, but I know I will be there, supporting the “people” as I have so many times before.

A New Start for a New Year

1st Stage, A Christmas Story, A New Life, Altar Boyz, Bare, DC, Dreamgirls, Giant, Golden Boy, Jekyll and Hyde, Kennedy Center, Les Miserables, Lincoln Center Theatre, musical, National Theatre, New York City, Play, Public Theater, Roundabout Theatre Company, Signature Theatre, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, theatre, Washington, White Christmas

This past month has been a busy one between a jammed-pack trip to NYC and a few incredible shows in the DC area. Here’s what made my itinerary.

In NYC:

  • Bare
  • A Christmas Story
  • Giant
  • Golden Boy
  • The Mystery of Edwin Drood

In the DC area:

  • Altar Boyz at 1st Stage
  • Dreamgirls at Signature Theatre
  • Les Miserables at the National Theatre
  • White Christmas at the Kennedy Center

Each of these shows brought something different to the table and quenched my thirst to experience theatre. Theatre has the power to change lives, and it certainly has impacted mine. I’ve been presented with an incredible opportunity to have a new sort of effect on the theatre realm starting next year. While this will open new doors, in order to take advantage of this chance, I must close others, at least temporarily. Going forward, my thoughts about shows will remain private. I’ll still be sharing news, shows I’m seeing, and thoughts on theatre but not about specific productions. Additionally, I’ll be concentrating on more topical aspects of theatre, like selling tickets and developing audiences.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the song “A New Life” from Jekyll and Hyde lately. I feel like next year, I’ll have “a new start,” “a new hope,” “a new chance,” and “a new dream,” all of which could lead to “a new world” and “a new life.” I can’t wait to see what 2013 brings.

Dreaming the Dream

Aaron Tveit, Alistair Brammer, Amanda Seyfried, Anne Hathaway, Caroline Sheen, Colm Wilkinson, Daniel Huttlestone, Eddie Redmayne, Fra Fee, Frances Ruffelle, Gina Beck, Hugh Jackman, Isabelle Allen, Jamie Muscato, Katie Hall, Killian Donnelly, Les Miserables, musical, Russell Crowe, Samantha Barks

I’ve been dreaming of a film version of the musical Les Miserables for 20 years, and I am excited that my dream is finally a reality. However, now, the debate of Les Miserables (the film) vs. Les Miserables (the musical) is also a reality. I could include the book in my discussion as well, but I’ll only reference it as needed to avoid a never-ending post.

I was impressed by the film’s ability to present the story in a way that a musical never could. Film, as a medium, is able to convey the scenery and misery in a more honest way than a live musical can. Scenes that were particularly well presented include “At the End of the Day” at the factory, “Lovely Ladies” by the docks, and “Do You Hear the People Sing” where the barricade rises spontaneously on the streets of Paris.

Another aspect of the film that I enjoyed was the casting (for the most part). Many of the smaller and ensemble roles were filled by previous West End cast members of the show. Familiar faces, like Gina Beck, Killian Donnelly, Katie Hall, Alistair Brammer, Fra Fee, Frances Ruffelle, Caroline Sheen, and Jamie Muscato, filled the screen version of the musical phenomenon. Of course, you can’t miss Colm Wilkinson as the Bishop or Samantha Barks as Eponine, two of the wisest casting decisions in my opinion along with Broadway star Aaron Tveit as Enjorlas. Anne Hathaway’s performance as Fantine is truly award-winning, and she is no doubt the front runner for the Best Supporting Actress Oscar. Hugh Jackman was wonderful as Jean Valjean even though my preference lies with some of the past performances I’ve seen on stage. While Russell Crowe can act the role of Javert supremely well, his voice is one of the weakest in the cast, and his “Stars” is not as overwhelming as I’ve heard in the past. In case you are unfamiliar with the show, the song doesn’t typically fade out at the end. I appreciated Eddie Redmayne as Marius and Amanda Seyfried as Cosette although I am used to hearing stronger singers in those roles. Daniel Huttlestone (Gavroche) and Isabelle Allen (Young Cosette) were two of my favorites. Daniel captured the spunk and charisma of Gavroche that makes the character so lovable while Isabelle intelligently introduced us to the ingenue of Les Miserables.

I also appreciated seeing aspects of the book left out of the musical included in the film. For instance, Marius’s Grandfather made a few appearances. Additionally, some parts of Fantine’s story that depcits the horror that her life becomes are added, like the selling of her teeth (Ouch!). While presenting every detail in a live musical is impossible, it’s lovely to see some details reinstated in the film version.

The direction of the film is very interesting. Some of the close-ups and scenic shots seemed a little odd at first, especially with the various angles, but I grew accustomed to the style throughout the film. Ultimately, I think the direction aided the presentation of the story.

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the music in the film. Nothing can replace seeing and hearing the live show, but the film represented the show’s music beautifully. Voices don’t need to fill a theatre on the screen, and yet, the songs were still inspiring and emotional. Some of my favorite musical moments in the film include “What Have I Done,” “At the End of the Day,” “Who Am I,” “Castle on a Cloud,” “One Day More,” “Do You Hear the People Sing,” “Drink with Me,” and the “Epilogue.” Also, the addition of the song “Suddenly” is incredible. It’s a touching moment that was well-intertwined with the musical’s existing music. I think this song would be a wonderful addition to future productions of Les Miserables.

Overall, I feel like the film captures the essence of the story that has shaped my life. Les Miserables is an epic tale of faith, hope, love, and redemption. All of these themes are clearly conveyed in the film. Although my preference will always be to see the musical live, I’m happy that I finally have a magnificent film to provide a Les Mis fix at any time.

There Are Giants in the Sky

1st Stage, Altar Boyz, Arena Stage, Dreamgirls, Dying City, Into the Woods, Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris, Manna Nichols, MetroStage, musical, My Fair Lady, National Tour, Nova Y. Payton, Play, Signature Theatre, Sondheim, theatre, War Horse, Wicked

Reflecting on my last month and half and what’s to come, I feel like Sondheim says it best, “There are big-tall-terrible-awesome-scary-wonderful giants in the sky!” (Into the Woods). With several opportunities and challenges ahead, this lyric comes into my mind. Sondheim’s masterful lyrics exquisitely bring to life emotions that can be difficult to adequately express. Moreover, this lyric also reminds me of the giant musicals touring and playing in regional theatres across the country right now.

Theatrically-speaking, I’ve continued to be busy and blessed. Some of the highlights of my experiences in the D.C. area include:

  • Dying City at Signature Theatre was captivating, thought-provoking, and poignant. If you like shows that make you think and question morality, I recommend you see this play if it comes your way.
  • Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris at MetroStage had an all-star cast and was full of grand, show-stopping musical numbers.
  • Wicked (National Tour) was as thrilling as the Broadway production. It’s a fun mega-musical for all ages.
  • War Horse (National Tour) continues to impress and move me. The puppetry is stunning and incredibly well orchestrated while the fantastic performances of the cast bring to life this epic tale.
  • My Fair Lady at Arena Stage reinvents the classic musical in the round. You can’t help but leave the theatre humming the familiar tunes. I was pleased to see a cast that’s largely new to Arena Stage, in particular Manna Nichols, who excellently portrays Eliza Doolittle.
  • Dreamgirls at Signature Theatre features notable cast performances, costumes, music, and choreography. Nova Y. Payton is spectacular as Effie and her performance is not to be missed this season if you’re in D.C.
  • Altar Boyz at 1st Stage has a cast of actors mostly new to the D.C. area. This 90-minute musical includes tight harmonies, exhilarating choreography, and abundant laughs.

With any luck, I’ll be back in New York City soon for the first time since August and able to catch up on some of what’s playing on and off Broadway. With the holidays in full gear, there’s thankfully lots of theatre to see!

My Theatrical Journey

1776, Aaron Lazar, Adam Pascal, Alain Boublil, Anthony Rapp, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Broadway, Brother Russia, CenterStage, Deathtrap, Do You Hear the People Sing?, Doug Kreeger, Emily Skinner, Evita, Ford's Theatre, God of Carnage, Hippodrome, Into the Woods, Jesus Christ Superstar, Keegan Theatre, Kennedy Center, Les Miserables, Mary Poppins, McLean Community Players, musical, Newsies, Ragtime, Really Really, Rent, Signature Theatre, theatre, Working, Xanadu

One of the line’s I loved in Dempsey and Rowe’s Brother Russia is “Was the destination really worth the journey? No, no, it was the journey that was worth the destination.” I’ve been on a quite a theatrical journey the past couple months, and it has been inspiring. There wasn’t enough time to see everything I wanted to see, but below is a list of what I did have the pleasure of seeing.

Washington, D.C. Area Theatre and Concerts

  • 1776 at Ford’s Theatre
  • Aaron Lazar’s Cabaret at the Kennedy Center (part of Barbara Cook’s series)
  • Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp at the Birchmere
  • An Evening with Brian Stokes Mitchell at George Mason University’s Hylton Performing Arts Center
  • Brother Russia at Signature Theatre
  • Deathtrap at Alden Theatre (McLean Community Players show)
  • God of Carnage at Signature Theatre
  • Do You Hear the People Sing? at the Strathmore
  • Emily Skinner’s Cabaret at the Kennedy Center (part of Barbara Cook’s series)
  • Into the Woods at CenterStage in Baltimore
  • Mary Poppins at the Hippodrome in Baltimore
  • Really Really at Signature Theatre
  • Working at Keegan Theatre
  • Xanadu at Signature Theatre

Broadway

  • Evita
  • Jesus Christ Superstar
  • Newsies

Highlights of these experiences included:

  • Sam Ludwig’s touching rendition of “Mamma Look Sharp” in 1776 at Ford’s Theatre.
  • One of Aaron Lazar’s inspired medleys that included “96,000” from In the Heights and “Great Big Stuff” from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. I was also thrilled to hear “Shiksa Goddess” from The Last Five Years and “Love to Me” from The Light in the Piazza at his cabaret.
  • Experiencing Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp sing the music of Rent live. Anthony Rapp singing “Without You” in tribute to his late mother was incredibly moving. There’s something special about Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp singing “What You Own” together. I was so pleased that Adam Pascal sang “One Song Glory” as well. Both have an immense understanding of the lyrics to Rent.
  • Brian Stokes Mitchell singing “Wheels of a Dream” from Ragtime. Ragtime has been a show near and dear to my heart. It’s the show that introduced me to Brian Stokes Mitchell (as well as the rest of the amazingly talented cast), and I am so grateful for that.
  • Seeing the evolution of the first incarnation of Brother Russia. The entire cast gave brilliant performances every night. The show developed greatly at Signature Theatre, and the whole cast’s performances grew stronger along the way. Doug Kreeger arguably ran the theatrical equivalent to a marathon during the show, and I was vastly impressed by his performance each time I saw the show. I think he’d make a great Jean Valjean in Les Miserables in the future.
  • Finally understanding the plot to Deathtrap thanks to the McLean Community Players’ production. For those who have seen the show, I hope you know what I mean. It’s a well-written show and reading the script was interesting, but until I saw it performed live, I didn’t quite get it.
  • The gifted cast of God of Carnage, who exquisitely brought to life the hilarious, shocking, and dramatic moments of the show at Signature Theatre.
  • The entire Do You Hear the People Sing? performance. I’m a huge fan of Alain Boublil’s and Claude-Michel Schonberg’s work, especially Les Miserables. The stunning cast included Eric Kunze, Terrence Mann, Jennifer Paz, Kathy Voytko, and Marie Zamora. The best part of the evening actually occurred after the show when I serendipitously got to meet Alain Boublil. He profoundly changed my life when after seeing Oliver, he was inspired to turn a classic book, Les Miserables, into a musical. What a surreal moment.
  • Emily Skinner singing “My Brother Lived in San Francisco” from Elegies for Angels, Punks, and Raging Queens. She introduced me to a heartbreaking show that I’ve come to love.
  • Into the Woods’ talented cast and wise lyrics. So many of the lyrics resonate with me, and I was captivated by each member’s of the cast’s moments to shine.
  • The joy Mary Poppins exuded. Disney has a knack for sharing happy, uplifting stories, and the latest tour of Mary Poppins leaves the audience feeling like they got their money’s worth.
  • Really Really’s intelligent script and rousing performances by the cast of the Signature Theatre production. I hope this makes it Off-Broadway so that more people can see Paul Downs Colaizzo’s play.
  • The realistic, relatable, and moving stories presented in Working at Keegan Theatre.
  • The wit and sparkle of Signature Theatre’s production of Xanadu. This show just started at Signature Theatre, and it’s a great performance to help you unwind after work.
  • Witnessing Max von Essen and Rachel Potter in Evita on Broadway. Although Max and Rachel really only have one big number each, each’s performance is extraordinary.
  • Seeing Bruce Dow, Chilina Kennedy Paul Nolan, and Josh Young perform in Jesus Christ Superstar. Some of the notes Paul and Josh hit were insane. The ensemble also deserves a shout out for their spectacular performances.
  • Finally experiencing Newsies live on Broadway. I’m not sure I was ever so excited to see a show on Broadway. I’ve wanted Newsies to be on Broadway since I saw the film. The energy and talent of the cast is inspiring.

Whew! The icing on the cake is I accomplished my New Year’s resolution. Not only have I seen 100 different musicals, but I am now at 102. I wonder how many I will have seen by the end of the year?!
