The Feet. Ugh, love ‘em or hate ‘em, we're stuck with them. Many people experience foot pain and may not know what to do about it, but Joe Pilates understood what to do, in fact, he invented two small devices to help correct the feet. The foot corrector and the Toe exerciser or sometimes referred to as the Toe Gizmo, were designed to strengthen and make supple the very foundation of our skeleton. I've asked our guest today, Karen Moran, a physical therapist to explain from her perspective how the feet play a major role in developing and maintaining a healthy functioning body. Karen is the founder and CEO of Fusion Arts Physical Therapy in Los Angeles, CA., where she specializes in Dance Medicine. Theaters such as the Pantages, the Ahmanson, Mark Taper, and various other theaters in the Los Angeles area have employed her to keep their performers healthy. In addition, Karen has treated professional dancers in companies such as Los Angeles Dance Project, Los Angeles Ballet and Hubbard Street Dance.

It's time to grab a "window seat" and be on your best "model behavior" as hosts Bobby and Kristina discuss 2017's Amélie and 2010's Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown on episode fourteen of My Favorite Flop.   ABOUT AMÉLIE Based on the 2001 French film of the same name, Amélie tells the story of a shy waitress who decides to change the lives of those around her for the better while struggling with her own isolation. The musical features music by Daniel Messé, lyrics by Messé and Nathan Tysen, and a book by Craig Lucas. Following out-of-town tryouts at Berkeley Repertory and The Ahmanson, the musical finally opened to mixed reviews on Broadway on April 3, 2017. Despite praise for its cast and design elements, many critics found issue with the score, and the show struggled at the box office. When the show failed to receive any Tony nominations in an extremely competitive season, the show closed on May 21, 2017, after 27 previews and 56 regular performances. A substantially transformed production, with new orchestrations, an expanded repertoire of songs, and new staging in the actor/muso style, opened on the West End in December 2019, at the Other Palace. Critics praised its improvements on the Broadway version, with The Guardian describing it as "a triumph of adaptation" "high on imagination", while The Daily Telegraph lauded the "wonderful, wistful evening" it made. It was nominated for three awards at the 2020 Laurence Olivier Awards: Best New Musical, Best Original Score or New Orchestrations, and Best Actress in a Musical.   Original Broadway Cast Phillipa Soo as Amélie Adam Chanler-Berat as Nino Tony Sheldon as Dufayel/Collignon David Andino as Blind Beggar/Garden Gnome/Anchorperson Randy Blair as Hipolito/Rock Star/Belgian Tourist Heath Calvert as Lucien/Adrien Wells/Mysterious Man Alison Cimmet as Amandine/Philomene Savvy Crawford as Young Amélie Manoel Felciano as Raphael/Bretodeau Harriett D. Foy as Suzanne Alyse Alan Louis as Georgette/Sylvie/Collignon's Mother Maria-Christina Oliveras as Gina Paul Whitty as Joseph/Fluffy/Collignon's Father ABOUT WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN Based on the Pedro Almodóvar film of the same name, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown tells the tale of a group of women in late 20th-century Madrid whose relationships with men lead to a tumultuous 48 hours of love, confusion, and passion. The musical features music and lyrics by David Yazbek and a book by Jeffrey Lane. Following a series of workshops in 2009 featuring Salma Hayek, Jessica Biel, Matthew Morrison and Paulo Szot, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown opened on Broadway at the Belasco Theatre on November 4, 2010. The production was a limited engagement that was scheduled to end on January 23, 2011, but due to low grosses and ticket sales, closed early on January 2, 2011. At the time of closing, the show had played 30 previews and 69 regular performances. A West End production, also directed by Bartlett Sher and starring Tamsin Greig, Jérôme Pradon, Haydn Gwynne, Anna Skellern, and Willemijn Verkaik opened at the Playhouse Theatre on January 12, 2015 for a 20-week run, and subsequently extended its run, but it was ultimately announced that the production would close on May 23, 2015. Greig and Gwynne were nominated for Best Actress in a Musical and Best Actress in a Supporting Role in a Musical respectively at the 2015 Laurence Olivier Awards.   Original Broadway Cast Sherie Rene Scott as Pepa Patti LuPone as Lucia Brian Stokes Mitchell as Ivan Julio Agustin as Ambite De'Adre Aziza as Paulina Laura Benanti as Candela Danny Burstein as Taxi Driver Alma Cuervo as Woman in Cinema/Ivan's Concierge/Magistrate 2 Justin Guarini as Carlos Murphy Guyer as Hector/TV Husband/Magistrate/Chief Inspector Nina Lafarga as Woman at Train/Ana Nikka Graff Lanzarone as Marisa Yanira Marin as Ensemble Sean McCourt as Man in Cinema/Doctor/Detective Vivian Nixon as Ensemble Mary Beth Peil as Pepa's Concierge/TV and Radio Announcer Luis Salgado as Malik Jennifer Sánchez as Cristina Phillip Spaeth as Ensemble Matthew Steffens as Ensemble Charlie Sutton as Man at Train/Telephone Repairman

Roberta Green Ahmanson is a writer and philanthropist whose public activities are focused on the role of religion in public life, using history to understand the present, and the role the arts play in shaping human experience. She is also a journalist with a wide range of interests, and a longtime friend.  Where do religion and politics intersect? Should they? How?  Roberta Ahmanson joins us to discuss.  

Center Theatre Group’s Artistic Director Michael Ritchie hosts “30 to Curtain,” a podcast featuring 30-minute interviews with some of the theatre artists creating work across the stages of the Ahmanson Theatre, Mark Taper Forum, and Kirk Douglas Theatre in Los Angeles.  Joining this episode of “30 to Curtain” is Sir Matthew Bourne, who has brought a new generation of audiences to dance, breaking down the walls between classical ballet and theatrical entertainment. In 1995, Matthew changed the worlds of dance and theatre when his daring interpretation of Swan Lake made its World premiere in London. A year later, it had become the longest running ballet on the West End. And a year after that, in 1997, he made his U.S. debut here with Center Theatre Group at the Ahmanson Theatre, where Swan Lake became an instant hit before becoming the longest running ballet on Broadway. And he now returns to the Ahmanson with a revival of another of his classics, Cinderella, onstage February 5 through March 10, 2019. We’re proud to have Matthew consider the Ahmanson his second home and also to have him as an Associate Artist at Center Theatre Group.  For more on Center Theatre Group and its upcoming productions, visit CenterTheatreGroup.org

Where is our citizenship? In the last of three chapel messages focusing on Haydn's Creation, art patron and philanthropist Roberta Green Ahmanson asks Wheaton students where their vision comes from. Drawing on lessons of idolatry and a need for belonging in her own life, she calls us to place our citizenship in our eternal home and take as our vision the God's kingdom.
