Iconic triple-threat, choreographer, and film star, Ann Reinking, speaks with Michael Riedel about choreographing and starring in the 1996 smash hit Chicago revival. That year, Ann Reinking won the Tony Award for Best Choreography, and the show has since gone on to become the longest running revival on Broadway. Ann shares her stories about her relationship with Bob Fosse during the original 1975 production and how she eventually replaced Gwen Verdon in the show. Years later, Ann was approached to choreograph Chicago for Encores and ended up starring as Roxie herself!  This episode features never-before-heard excerpts from the interviews Michael Riedel recorded while writing his 2020 best-selling book Singular Sensation: The Triumph of Broadway.

Today, I'm thrilled to announce my interview with theater veteran Michael Berresse. Tune in to hear some of the stories of his legendary career, including his brief moment being directed by Jerome Robbins during FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, the process of bringing TITLE OF SHOW to Broadway, creating his version of “Bianca” in KISS ME, KATE, understudying the lead role in DAMN YANKEES, bringing Bob Mackie to the stage in THE CHER SHOW, how he became artistic director of The Weston Playhouse, staging a revival of THE GOLDEN APPLE at Encores!, his onstage accident during BUSKER ALLEY, the isolation of playing Zach in A CHORUS LINE, auditioning for Ann Reinking for CHICAGO, and so much more. You won't want to miss this in-depth conversation with one of Broadway's best actors and directors.

This is the semi-autobiographical musical story of Joe Gideon (Roy Scheider), a legendary choreographer/director struggling with various addictions as he juggles developing a new stage musical and editing a film he has directed.  And it was directed by legendary choreographer/director Bob Fosse (Cabaret, Lenny) who at the time was dealing with many of the struggles when he wasn't winning multiple Tony Awards and Oscars.  It was a true passion project which also attracted a passionate response as it did well at the box office, received mass acclaim, and was also nominated for multiple Oscars including for Best Picture.  Scheider was also nominated for Best Actor that year, leading a very talented cast including Ann Reinking, Leland Palmer, Cliff Gorman, Ben Vereen, and Jessica Lange.  Jam-packed with several sequences which can be described as sad, sexy, sordid, and joyous, it was quite the original cinematic experience....IT'S SHOWTIME FOLKS!Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Bob Fosse's autobiographical musical about how he makes art until he dies is all about a guy who's doing too much and can't cope, yet he's compelled to never stop working. Name an addiction and he's got it. Yet his 8 1/2-esque story---with Roy Scheider playing a heightened version of his director---is a potent one, with all its flashy editing, production design and terrific choreography. We weren't huge fans of the songs in All That Jazz, but these actors sure can dance, especially Ann Reinking (whose name is pronounced "Rine-king"). So...5, 6, 7, 8...put on some black clothes and do your heart-killing morning routine every day as the 627th edition of Have You Ever Seen pieces through All That Jazz.

​​Scott sits down with a former student, Alyssa Carol, for a heartfelt and lovely conversation about Alyssa's pathway towards higher education at the University of Michigan's famed Musical Theatre BFA and making her Broadway debut as an original Broadway cast member in Andrew Lloyd Webber's brand new musical, BAD CINDERELLA. And while in many ways Alyssa is living what from the outside looks to be a Broadway Cinderella story… she comes to the podcast to share her personal journey to this moment to highlight the fact that the road to Broadway is rarely glamorous or picture book perfect, but this journey is often a deeply satisfying, valuable and artistically illuminating process. Alyssa Carol is a performing artist originally from Orange County, CA. She grew up dancing, singing and acting and eventually attended the Orange County School of the Arts to study Musical Theatre from 7th-12th grade where she discovered a deeper sense of her artistry and the cathartic nature of performing. And I had the privilege to be her conservatory director for her junior and senior year at OCSA. She is currently completing her last semester at The University of Michigan in their BFA Musical Theatre program remotely from NYC… so that she could join the original cast as a swing of the Broadway production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's BAD CINDERELLA covering 9 tracks and triumphantly made her Broadway debut during previews on March 9th. At the University of Michigan she was featured in productions of The House of Bernarda Alba, Hair, Michael McElroy's Sonnets, Soliloquies and Soul, The Wild Party; she made her professional debut as the female swing in The Ogunquit Playhouse staging of The Nutty Professor; At OCSA, she played Charity in SWEET CHARITY, Olive in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, was in the ensemble of OCSA's  productions of Jasper in Deadland, Footloose as an Associate Choreographer (with Emily Baggerly) on an epic production of EVITA. On a personal note, Alyssa is a light in this world and a ferocious quadruple threat - actor, dancer, singer AND creative/maker. She is a wonderful example of leading with the love of an artform, and practicing that abundant mindset at every turn of the creative process. In this episode, we talk about the many facets of her talent and creative interest; what helped her be her authentic self in audition settings; How she decided to say YES to a school like University of Michigan; And a touching story of being guided by the legendary Broadway dancer and choreographer, Ann Reinking, just weeks before her passing.

Leapin' Lizards! We watched Annie (1982) with our friend Brad Liberti and I think we're gonna like it here! Whether you like it or not, this movie holds a place in our collective consciousness. The story of the little orphan girl who made it out of the slums and into the mansion of a misanthropic oligarch is deeply entrenched in our early movie watching memories. Some of us fantasized about being Annie and going off to live in an estate the size of the Mall of America with a staff peppered with racial stereotypes. Others dreamt of making bathtub gin, while wearing costume jewelry and lingerie. Either way, this movie is iconic. The trio of Carol Burnett, Tim Curry and Bernadette Peters is what gay rights are made of. The opening number of Hard Knock Life featuring orphan girls flipping, stomping and bucking across Miss Hannigan's orphanage give us life (Matilda could never). And I don't care what your orientation is, who didn't fall in love with Ann Reinking as Daddy Warbucks' secretary/love interest Grace? Maybe the movie buried the lead and underplayed “Tomorrow” and maybe the movie differs a little too much from the stage production. This musical might be better in your memory as a child, but it still brings out a smile in the cynic in all of us.

Based on Corey's Amsterdam (2022), Paul figured, "Let's keep the FDR-train rolling!" and so he chose Annie (1982). Once again set in 1933, Annie asks the question we thought Paul McCartney had answered, "Can I buy me love?" From the classic right-wing comic strip to the inscrutable decision to have John Huston direct to the Michael-Mann-esque climax to Corey's teenage infatuation with Ann Reinking in Pippin to even (leapin' lizards) Bolsheviks, this episode has it all.

Ma Rainey's Black Bottom is George C. Wolfe's film adaptation of the August Wilson play. It stars Viola Davis in the title role and Chadwick Boseman in his final film performance, and it's available to stream on Netflix. Christopher Nolan's Tenet was the first tentpole movie to be released in theaters during the pandemic. It did okay business (it's currently the third-highest grossing film of 2020), but nothing like what Warner Bros. would've hoped for in a normal time. It's still in theaters, and it's now available to buy on physical disc or from digital platforms. It will be available to rent digitally in January.
