RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey is joined again by Vidar Hjardeng MBE, Inclusion and Diversity Consultant for ITV News across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands for the next of his regular audio described theatre reviews for 2025 This week we have the multi-award winning musical ‘Chicago' as the current UK tour visited the Alexandra Theatre in Birmingham with description by Professional Audio Describer Anne Hornsby. About ‘Chicago' ‘CHICAGO', the "sexiest musical ever" (Metro) is currently on it's UK tour starring Strictly Come Dancing Professional Dancer and TV Star Janette Manrara (It Takes Two, Burn The Floor, Glee) as Roxie Hart, West End and TV star Brenda Edwards (Loose Women, Chicago, The X Factor) as Matron ‘Mama' Morton and West End leading man Dan Burton (Gypsy, The Mousetrap, White Christmas) as Billy Flynn. With 6 Tony Awards, 2 Olivier Awards, a Grammy® and thousands of standing ovations, ‘CHICAGO' truly is “SUPERB” (Daily Telegraph). Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, CHICAGO is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago's slickest criminal lawyer to transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today's tabloids. Created by the musical theatre talents of John Kander, Fred Ebb and legendary choreographer Bob Fosse, ‘it's sexy, sassy score with one show-stopping song after another includes “Razzle Dazzle”, “Cell Block Tango”, and “All That Jazz”. With 6 Tony Awards, 2 Olivier Awards, a Grammy® and thousands of standing ovations, ‘CHICAGO' truly is “SUPERB” (Daily Telegraph).

I interview John Yun, who is currently the music director for the Broadway production of Maybe Happy Ending. We talk about this multi-Tony Award nominated musical. John has served as the associate conductor for the Broadway production of Hell's Kitchen – The Alicia Keys musical, the associate music director for Broadway productions of Bob Fosse's Dancin', as well as Tina: the Tina Turner Musical.
"Does it really matter so long as you're having fun?"May-Usical Month returns with an all-time great musical about a 19-year-old Cabaret singer in Berlin just before World War II, the original manic pixie dream girl — Fräulein Sally Bowles in CABARET. This week, The Wives Colangelo muse on one of their favorite films of all time and discuss the political commentary embedded in the story, why Bob Fosse's changes from the Broadway show were for the best, and why Liza Minnelli is truly one of the greatest to ever do it.

*Patreon Episode Preview* Luisa Opalesky is our special guest as we talk about how Federico Fellini's "8 1/2" and Bob Fosse's "All That Jazz" embody the spirit of her new book, "Big City Nobody," how the two movies are connected through Italian cinematography, seeing yourself in photographs you take of other people and more!
Willkommen, bienvenue... welcome fiends and familiars, ghouls and gals to the third blindspot in Dalton's lineup, Bob Fosse's Cabaret. This musical is set in Berlin in the early 1930s—it was a different time. But the film was developed amidst the Nixon era. So, it has politics and art. Or is that redundant? We look at the rise of Liza Minnelli, the style of Bob Fosse, and the antifascist messaging of Cabaret to see if there are any contemporary concerns to consider. Is it a good night at the club? Or another bust on an amateur stage? Tune in to find out as we discuss Cabaret.

The Little Prince has been enchanting readers of all ages since 1943, when French aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry first introduced the boy from a distant planet. Inspired by his own life and a desert crash landing, this poetic tale has become one of the most translated and best-selling books in the world. In this episode, we begin a two-part look at The Little Prince on stage and screen—both versions produced by Joseph Tandet. There's the ambitious 1982 Broadway-bound musical starring Michael York and a young Anthony Rapp, which never made it past previews. And before that, the 1974 movie musical directed by Stanley Donen and featuring Lerner and Loewe's final collaboration—complete with Bob Fosse, Gene Wilder, and a surprisingly rocky production history. Theme Music created by Blake Stadnik. Click here for a transcript and list of all resources used. Produced by Patrick Oliver Jones and WINMI Media with Dan Delgado as co-producer.

It's Awards Season yet again. Here on the Holmes Movies Podcast that means, it is time for the Alternative Oscars episodes! AKA the Anders and Adam-emy Awards: Each episode for this series we pick a different year in Oscars history and attempt to correct the record, stripping the undeserving of their garlands while recognizing those who were cruelly overlooked.This time, we will be casting our eye back to… the 45th Academy Awards, the year that honoured the best films of 1972. It was held March 27th 1973 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles, California. It was hosted by actors Carol Burnett, Michael Caine, Charlton Heston (Clint Eastwood briefly filled in for him) and Rock Hudson. It was the year of Cab-Father, when Bob Fosse's Cabaret and Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather Part 1 went head to head with each other. It was also the first time two African American women were nominated for awards: Cicely Tyson and Diana Ross. But out of the films released in 1972, which ones deserved to win and/or get nominated?

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.

Director Parker Finn discusses his new film, Smile 2, with fellow Director Mike Flanagan in a Q&A at the DGA theater in Los Angeles. In the conversation, he discusses how he returned to the idea to explore the same concept through a vastly different lens, working with Actor Naomi Scott to bring the duality of her character's public persona and isolation to life, and choreographing color-laden horror scenes for his pop star character in what he describes as “inspired by Wes Craven as it is Bob Fosse”. The film tells the story of Skye Riley, a pop star about to embark on a world tour when she begins to experience increasingly terrifying and inexplicable events. Overwhelmed by escalating horrors and the pressures of fame, she is forced to face her past. See photos and a summary of this event below: https://dga.org/en/Events/2024/Dec2024/Smile2_QnA_1024

November is for the musicals and we're RAISING THE CURTAIN & BELTING THE CHORUS all month long and it's time to hit up a Bob Fosse joint in this iconic adaptation starring stage legend and Queen of the Theatre Nerds, Liza Minelli. Bob is learning this shit for the first time but you theater nerds already know about the most prolific film in Minelli's life and career and it's none other than Fosse's 1961 hit “CABARET” also starring Michael York, Joel Grey and more. There is no richer era to strike negative social parallels than early to mid-century Germany. The Kit Kat Club seems like a grand ‘ol time but it's only a matter of time before the audience turns on their entertainment. In the thick of it is Sally Bowls, lore accurate OG Manic Pixie Dream Girl, and her timid soon-to-be lover, Brian. It's a freewheeling, song slinging, sugar baby life. Love has its ups and downs and sometimes you end hooking up with your girlfriend's sugar daddy. It's a rather unique story to tell to a broad audience in 1972 (and before). Let's talk Sally Bowls, old chum. It's only a cabaret and here's a link we found: https://archive.org/details/cabaret-1972_202208 Subscribe to us on YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuJf3lkRI-BLUTsLI_ehOsg Contact us here: MOVIEHUMPERS@gmail.com Check our past & current film ratings here: https://moviehumpers.wordpress.com Hear us on podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6o6PSNJFGXJeENgqtPY4h7 Our OG podcast “Documenteers”: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/documenteers-the-documentary-podcast/id1321652249 Soundcloud feed: https://soundcloud.com/documenteers Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/culturewrought
Uno de los estrenos en cines esta semana, "Marco", y una de las series que desde hace unos días se puede ver en plataformas, "Yo adicto", nos llevan a rondar la mentira. La primera por la espiral sin salida en la que entró Enric Marco al comenzar al vivir contando que había sido uno de los españoles que pasaron un tiempo en los campos de concentración nazis. Mantuvo hasta el fin de sus días la mentira y la nueva película de los directores de "Handía" o "La trinchera infinita" nos muestra cómo lo hizo. Otra mentira es la que nos contamos a nosotros mismos, que estamos bien, que no somos como los demás, que controlamos... Es la trampa de la que tuvo que salir Javi Giner, autor, creador, director y protagonista de "Yo adicto". Interpretado por Oriol Pla nos enseña cómo es el viaje hacia la reconciliación con uno mismo en 6 episodios que podemos ver en Disney+. Y la crítica bajo demanda es esta semana para la película que reinventó el género musical, "All that jazz" de Bob Fosse.

Kevin provides the origin story for his Bette enthusiasm and how he came to write "On Bette Midler: An Opinionated Guide" (published this year). At a young age, he connected with Bette's unconventional persona and how it resonated with him as a shy, young gay man. Kevin describes how Bette built a following performing in underground venues like the Continental Baths before breaking through to mainstream success on TV, in film, and as a concert performer. He discusses how she was able to maintain her authentic persona and appeal to broader audiences. Kevin highlights Bette's philanthropic work, including founding the New York Restoration Project to revitalize green spaces in the city. He also notes her willingness to be politically outspoken and use her platform for social causes. Kevin and I discuss trends in Broadway, including the continued appeal of star-driven vehicles and the challenge for more ensemble-focused shows to gain traction. They also reflect on the legacies of choreographers like Bob Fosse in shaping the Broadway landscape. In closing, Kevin shares how writing the book on Bette has inspired him to emulate her fearlessness, activism, and commitment to taking initiative, rather than waiting for others to act.

And the special guest of the evening is Steven Warner, who was the child actor in the title role alongside Broadway luminaries like Richard Kiley, Bob Fosse, Donna McKechnie, and Gene Wilder. Two other movie musicals also celebrating anniversaries this fall are Brigadoon, which has enchanted audiences for 70 years with its tale of love and a mystical village, as well as My Fair Lady, the timeless classic reaching its 60th anniversary.

Our exit today has us saying we've got spirit yes we do, we've got spirit how bout you? This week we are discussing Bring It On, written by Jessica Bendinger and directed by Peyton Reed. And we felt we couldn't do this leg of the Tripp alone, so we brought back one of our favorite passengers, Letterboxd's Mitchell Beaupre. Along the way, we discuss Gabrielle Union, Buffy, more Friday Night Lights, the great cinematic Nixons, Bob Fosse, the Criterion Closet, and a surprising amount of Doris Day and Rock Hudson. Plus, in previewing next week's episode, we dissect what might be the worst movie poster we've ever seen! Mitchell's conversation with Anna Kendrick. Thememusic by Jonworthymusic.

It's showtime, folks! This week, we make our last stop in the 1970's era of Roy Scheider's career to talk about his Oscar nominated turn in Bob Fosse's All That Jazz. Sarah and MJ are joined by Randy Burrows of the Uncut Gems podcast to talk about legacy, commerce, art, and reckoning with your mortality. You know, all the light stuff.
What would you do? What will you do? In the election run-up, Peter & Nathan are talking about musicals that deal with political unrest and social change (don't worry, it's still fun!). We begin with the 1966 Broadway classic Cabaret, one of the darkest, kinkiest, and most-enduring musicals of all time. We talk about: – Willkommen / Two Ladies / The Money Song: The "decadence" depicted by the emcee and the performers of the Kit Kat Klub (KKK, anyone?) in 1930s Berlin on the eve of Nazism. Does Cabaret hold this very queer decadence as responsible for the rise of fascism, or is there something deeper at work? – Married / So What / What Would You Do? Bob Fosse's 1972 film version of Cabaret eliminates most of the traditional musical theatre story exemplified in the romance between Fraulein Schneider & Herr Schultz. But these two characters—and the songs that Kander & Ebb wrote for them—carry much of the show's political weight – and its emotional heart. Is Fraulein Schneider secretly Cabaret's protagonist? – Don't Tell Mama & Cabaret: We talk about one of Cabaret's most well-known characters, Sally Bowles. What does she mean when she sings that "life is a cabaret?" – Tomorrow Belongs to Me: The incredible music of Cabaret – hymns, patriotic anthems, folk songs and music hall ditties – raises provocative questions about entertainment, pleasure, emotional release, and the rise of demonic ideologies. Religion traffics in some of the same territory. Is good music morally neutral... or not? You'll hear Joel Grey, Jill Haworth, Lotte Lenya, Jack Gilford and the cast of the 1966 Original Broadway Cast – as well as Mark Lambert on the 1972 film soundtrack singing “Tomorrow Belongs to Me”.
Today, I'm thrilled to present my episode with triple threat Stephanie Pope. Tune in to hear some of the stories of her fantastic career, including her long collaboration with Bob Fosse, from her first audition for SWEET CHARITY to her conversations with him on the day that he died, why she was hounded by press during THE WILL ROGERS FOLLIES, what made her decide to recreate her role in JELLY'S LAST JAM, doing research for her role in A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM, going on at the last minute for Patina Miller in PIPPIN, how the pandemic led her to start directing, premiering SMOKEY JOE'S CAFE in London, going on the road with her daughter in THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE, announcing Gwen Verdon's death from the stage during FOSSE, studying dance while attending high school, standing by for Chita Rivera in KISS OF THE SPIDERWOMAN, how she aimed to leave the door open for fellow Black performers, and so much more. You won't want to miss this interview with one of Broadway's most talented stars.
This episode we've got ‘Steam Heat' as we discuss the 1957 musical ‘The Pajama Game' with the first appearance on the list of the iconic Doris Day. Based on the novel ‘7½ Cents', the story revolve around work disputes and romance. Filled with classic songs and Bob Fosse numbers, join us for a visit to ‘Hernando's Hideaway'……. Ole! Steam heat...
My crush on William Katt began decades ago with the tumbling blonde spirals of Tommy Ross in Carrie, the close-cropped Sundance, to the shorter golden curls of Pippin… it wasn't just the hair, of course… that face, the smile, his voice… the whole damn package. Like millions of other baby boomers, he had us swooning for years. How lovely to sit down with Bill, these almost 50 years later, to discover he's still got that boyhood charm, mischievous sense of fun, with just a teeny touch of bad boy (note him playfully admonishing his wife when she sneaks into the “set.” And, the au courant platinum do, and facial hair he's currently sporting still make him a handsome standout. That's the trivial superficialities - but, what do you expect when you're talking about a movie star heartthrob? Well, there is the laid-back, easy-going, real as-beans, straight-shooter, who was crazy fun to chat with and get his inside perspective on his parents, actors, Bill Williams (Kit Carson) and Barbara Hale - loved to learn that she was also funny- Betty White funny, and inspired at least one woman to great professional heights, on Angie Dickenson, his first TV co-star, his passion for theatre, always, working with Bob Fosse, and Ben Vereen, Auditioning for George Lucas, to play Luke Skywalker with Kurt Russell as Hans Solo - doing a great job, instead being cast by Brian DePalma in his seminal work, Carrie, alongside his friend, and perhaps for a brief moment something more, Amy Irving, visited on the set by Steven Spielberg, perhaps where that all began, alongside beloved Nancy Allen (who is responsible for connecting me with Bill, making this conversation possible), John Travolta, Betty Buckley, Piper Laurie, Cissy Spacek-some great stories there, we talked about The Greatest American Hero, and the risk back then of going from film to TV, working with Robert Culp, and Connie Selleca, House, and George Wendt, great Sci-Fi with The Man From Earth, why he no longer does theatre, does only good films for friends, like last years' Pursuit with John Cusack and an upcoming film with Alfred Molina. We talked about music throughout his life, bands in high school, playing clubs later on, a pop hit, lots of musical theatre culminating with Pippin and Fosse, and a musical about and working with, Randy Newman, which his love for came out his pores when describing, to his current passion Jazz project. William Katt is a Renaissance man. We already know he looks great in tights. What FUN!!!!

It's showtime, folks! This week, Roy Scheider closes out his 1970s run with another all-timer, Bob Fosse's existential masterpiece ALL THAT JAZZ! This haunting meditation on life, death, and show business is one of the high water marks not just of Scheider's career, but of cinema in general.
In this episode, we sit down with Tony Award winner Cady Huffman. Cady takes us on a journey through her career, from her early days in youth theater to her Tony-winning performances on Broadway.

Cady opens up about her current role as director of the off-Broadway show "Empire," discussing the challenges and joys of bringing the history of the Empire State Building to life on stage.

Dancer and actress Joan McCracken became one of America's biggest stars in the 1940s after her scene-stealing role in Oklahoma! as Sylvie, "The Girl Who Fell Down." In her real life, she was challenged by a secret diagnosis of diabetes in an era where management of the disease was complicated at best, and her marriage to fellow dancer Jack Dunphy - who would go on to be Truman Capote's partner for decades - was wrecked her affair with a French songwriter. Joan would become Bob Fosse's second wife and a major influence in his career. Given how brief her life was - she died at just 43 - her story is an impressive array of spiderwebs into both the Trashy Divorces Cinematic Universe, and Alicia's Done & Dunne podcast.

Director and legendary cinematographer Kirsten Johnson is known for nonfiction work that is inventive, artful, expressive, and maximal. The same can be said of the film that blew her mind -- Bob Fosse's All That Jazz. The semi-autobiographical film brings us Joe Gideon (Roy Scheider), a peripatetic creative force working simultaneously to mount a major Broadway production and complete post-production on a feature film, all while maintaining a lifestyle fueled by cigarettes, pills, one-night stands, and Visine, and still finding time for his adoring 12-year old daughter, Michelle. We learn why the iconic film first transfixed Kirsten, and how she continues to be inspired by Fosse's ingenious use of dance, documentary, theater, music, and more. Host John Cooper shares his personal ties to the film, calling on his days in New York's theater scene of the 1970s. And co-host Tabitha Jackson (a.k.a. Wife of Kirsten) does her level best to maintain her professional distance as the conversation unfolds. Listen and subscribe to The Film that Blew My Mind on Apple Podcasts.
