They are directing a production of One Touch of Ava this summer at Ivoryton Playhouse as well as a series of workshops for the musical, Hurricane Jimmy later in 2023. William Linster is a Connecticut native and New York-based pianist, composer, music director, and arranger. Having been playing since the age of two and performing professionally since the age of seven, William has an extensive background in classical training, as well as in jazz and other contemporary styles. A graduate of the world-renowned New School For Jazz And Contemporary Music, William has studied and worked with some of the greatest musicians in the world, including Grammy® nominees Bobby Sanabria, Dave Douglas, Charles Tolliver, Cecil Bridgewater, and Andy Mckee, as well as Grammy® winners Bill Kirchner, Robert Sadin, and Hank Schocklee (Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame Inductee, Public Enemy). As an accompanist and session musician, he has worked with artists such as Katie Stevens (American Idol, The Bold Type), Coyle Girelli (Your Vegas, The Chevin), Ron McClure (Blood, Sweat & Tears), R&B hitmaker James "D-Train" Williams, and numerous other Broadway stars and opera singers. Upon first working with William, the late acclaimed librettist Roger O. Hirson (Tony Award®-nominee, Pippin) simply said, "He's a genius." He made his Carnegie Hall debut at age 16, and was featured on NBC Nightly News at 17 while at the Havana International Jazz Festival in Cuba. William is also a trained vocalist, in addition to having received training on violin, trumpet, clarinet, mallet percussion, concert percussion, drums and handbells. He recently served as the Music Director for the Off-Broadway production of Fringe Deaths (2019). William is currently in the process of developing four full-length musicals he wrote with late Hollywood screenwriter, Lawrence Alexander (Charlie's Angels, CHiPs, Barnaby Jones). He was recently named a 2022 Jonathan Larson Grant Finalist by American Theatre Wing. The musical centers around Quentin Roosevelt, the youngest son of Theodore Roosevelt, who embarks on a forbidden romance with Flora Payne Whitney, a wealthy heiress from a different social sphere. The Roosevelts, renowned for their political activism and their role in trust-busting (which significantly impacted the Whitney family's wealth), stand in stark contrast to the reserved Whitneys, who are determined to avoid scandal of any kind. The story follows Quentin as he navigates the pressures of familial expectations, personal ambition, and the looming shadow of war. Through a mix of historical events and artistic interpretation, the musical delves into themes of heroism, love, and the impact of war on individuals and their families. Quentin weaves together dramatic scenes, emotional soliloquies, and powerful musical numbers to create a moving portrait of a young man caught between personal desire and duty, love and loss, and the enduring question of how to make one's mark in the shadow of a powerful legacy.
Howard the Duck was a pet project for George Lucas, who, upon realizing that doing a live-action adaptation with a CGI lead wasn't going to work, lost interest and handed it over to Will Huyck and Gloria Katz, who wrote American Graffiti with Lucas. This was just the beginning of a long mess of a production, leading to one of the biggest Blockbuster Bombs of all time. Starring Lea Thompson, Ed Gale, Chip Zien, Tim Robbins, Jeffrey Jones (ugh), Liz Sagal, Dominique Davalos, Holly Robinson, David Paymer, and the voice of Richard Kiley. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thegenxfiles/support
Fluff your feathers and fight those space demons as we fly into 1986's Howard the Duck. Why were the late 80s so filled with duck content? Does anyone else remember Howard being a detective? Is Cherry Bomb one of the greatest movie bands of all time? And can someone please let Lea Thompson do the remake she has wanted to for so long? Instead of answers, let us share our duck sex trauma with you.
Is Howard The Duck Really THAT Terrible? The George Lucas produced film (you know the Star Wars one) has the distinction of not only kick starting the cinematic voyage of Marvel Films, but also having the reputation of being one of the weirdest and just down right terrible films to come out of the 1980's. Starring Lea Thompson, fresh off of Back to The Future, Jeffery Jones, Tim Robbins (The Academy Award Winner), and Chip Zien as the voice of Howard; this movie just begs the question" How in the hell did anyone think this was going to be a success?" Fortunately, we have special guest Katie Fawkes of The VHS Club Podcast to help us navigate this Duck Turd.

This episode was recorded live at the Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan on October 9, 2023. It is a conversation with creative and cast members of the Broadway musical, Harmony. They include book writer and lyricist Bruce Sussman, and performers Chip Zien, Julie Benko, Sierra Boggess, and Danny Kornfeld. The narrative of Harmony is set in the 1920s and 30s in Germany, a deeply unsettling time in history, and still the central characters found harmony, not only in the melodic sense but also as a diverse group coming together in partnership. It's an inspiring idea for us all to seek ways to live harmoniously with others. After all, harmony occurs when different sounds blend together.I hope you enjoy the following interview, and please check out the links below to two songs from the cast recording of Harmony. Both were performed live at the event."Where you go”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjyhgYk3GDE"Every Single Day”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWkXyWpoEOk Hosted on Acast.

Well, listeners, to Paul's delight That Aged Well is finally covering a Marvel comics property! To his disappointment that property is 1986's Howard the Duck. Ah, we kid, we kid…Erika and Paul are taking the opportunity that Camp Movie January is providing and serving up duck puns aplenty in this episode. So get quacking and download it!
In 1986, long before the Avengers assembled on the big screen and transformed the Marvel Cinematic Universe into an unstoppable Hollywood juggernaut, a significantly different comic character marked the first live-action Marvel feature film: HOWARD THE DUCK. But not even George Lucas, along with his AMERICAN GRAFFITI and STAR WARS collaborators Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz, could turn this wise-quacking waterfowl into box office gold. All that despite a score by John Barry, songs by Thomas Dolby (and sung by star Lea Thompson), a young Tim Robbins, Jeffrey Jones , the voice of Chip Zien and more! Ruffle your feathers and find out "WTF Happened to HOWARD THE DUCK!"
It's a musical theatre kid classic, the 1991 PBS American Playhouse recording of the original 1987 Broadway cast of "Into the Woods"! Featuring TONY winner Joanna Gleason as the Baker's Wife, Bernadette Peters as the Witch, Kim Crosby as Cinderella, and little Chip Zien as the Baker, this Sondheim staple is a fairy tale of nuanced, quirky and surprising performances, and we're counting down our Top 5 this week! Plus: Nick's own experience playing the Baker, our dream casting for the role of the Giant, thoughts on the movie version and that Meryl singing voice, a threat of "Mamma Mia" and a surprise Snooki.

Peter & Nathan welcome a very special guest: the Rev'd Ed Bacon: legendary leader of progressive Christian causes, retired rector of All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena, and inveterate Sondheim fan. With Ed's help, we pull apart the spirituality, theology (and the trichology!) of what is probably Stephen Sondheim's best-known (and arguably best-loved) musical, the 1987 masterpiece Into the Woods. We talk about: - The subversive nature of fairy tales, and what we think we're doing when we tell these stories to children - What it means to go “into the woods” – and how can we befriend it? - Being nice, being good, losing our innocence – and what it means to be "white" - The complicated nature of community, and the promise and threat of the idea that "no one is alone" - The Gospel as Fairy Tale (with apologies and gratitude for Frederick Buechner's Telling the Truth, the book that caused at least one of us to become a priest!) You'll hear: - Bernadette Peters, Chip Zien, Joanna Gleason and the cast of the Original Broadway Cast Recording (1987) singing “Prologue,” “Giants in the Sky,” “Hello, Little Girl,” “I Know Things Now,” “No One Is Alone”, “Last Midnight,” and “Children Will Listen” Continue the conversation with Peter (@pgeinvan) and Nathan (@nathan_lerud) on Twitter, and follow the Gospel of Musical Theatre on Instagram or Twitter @gospelofmt.

Before the MCU Iron Man, before Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, even before Roger Corman's Fantastic Four, there was one project that can truly claim to be the very first Marvel feature ever. And that little movie is called Howard the Duck. It was a box office bomb for the ages, but it also has its fans. And one of them is film critic Ashley Walker. A talking, child-sized waterfowl gets accidentally sucked into our dimension. And there he finds himself in a situation where he has to save the world. Or can he wisecrack himself out of that one? Howard gets help from a young musician, played by Lea Thomson, and from future Oscar winner Tim Robbins. Podguest Ashley almost surprises themself by how how much they know about this movie. And there are a lot of fun trivia to sink our teeth into. Even now, new stories keep cropping up about Howard the Duck and its disastrous production. And then we haven't even gotten into all of the awful duck puns... We also discuss Ashley's recently found affection for Doctor Strange, Martin Scorsese versus the Marvel Cinematic Universe and why there even exists a 70mm print of Howard the Duck.

"Once upon a time... later..."This week, Drew and Cassie are joined by Cassie's brother, Matthew, to explore the deconstruction of fairy tales in Act II of Into the Woods. In Act I, the Baker and his Wife collected the cow as white as milk, the cape as red blood, the hair as yellow as corn, and the slipper as pure as gold. They successfully lifted the curse on their house and now they have a baby, as they've wished for so long. Now, they are living "happily ever after," as are Cinderella, Jack, Little Red Riding Hood, and our other characters... or are they? Act II explores the consequences of the characters' actions in Act I in a fresh, new way. We dig in deep, discussing the complexity of Stephen Sondheim's score, the "bean theme," the many parallels between Act I and Act II, the Baker/Cinderella ship, the Jack/Little Red ship, the word "nice," some of the changes made before the show opened on Broadway, more "realization songs," dwarfs vs. dwarves, and much more that we can't reveal without getting too spoilery! What is Cassie's mysterious childhood memory of Act II? Which role was Matthew going to play in Drew's dream childhood backyard production of Into the Woods? What fascinating insights will Matthew offer regarding the Granny/Giant double casting? You'll have to listen to find out!Throughout the episode, we reference the following productions of Into the Woods. As always, we recommend watching before listening to the episode, but you definitely don't need to watch all of these! The original Broadway production is the one to watch for sure!- The 1987 original Broadway production, professionally filmed in 1989 (available on Broadway HD), starring Bernadette Peters as the Witch, Chip Zien as the Baker, Joanna Gleason as the Baker's Wife, Tom Aldredge as the Narrator/Mysterious Man, and Kim Crosby as Cinderella- The 2002 Broadway Revival production, starring Vanessa Williams as the Witch, Stephen DeRosa as the Baker, Kerry O'Malley as the Baker's Wife, John McMartin as the Narrator/Mysterious Man, and Laura Benanti as Cinderella- The 2010 West End Regent's Park production (available on Broadway HD), starring Hannah Waddingham as the Witch, Mark Hadfield as the Baker, Jenna Russell as the Baker's Wife, Billy Boyle as the Mysterious Man, and Helen Dallimore as Cinderella- The 2012 Central Park production, an American recreation of the West End Regent's Park production, starring Donna Murphy as the Witch, Denis O'Hare as the Baker, Amy Adams as Cinderella, Chip Zien as the Mysterious Man, and Jessie Mueller as Cinderella- The 2019 Hollywood Bowl production, starring Patina Miller as the Witch, Skyler Astin as the Baker, Sutton Foster as the Baker's Wife, Anthony Crivello as the Mysterious Man, and Sierra Boggess as CinderellaMusic: Through The Woods by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com
"Do you know what you wish? Are you certain what you wish it what you want?"Have we said "we're excited" enough yet? Probably, but we're going to say it approximately fifty more times. Drew and Cassie are joined by Drew's sister, Daurie, to work our way through the complexities of Act I of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's Into the Woods. This 1987 musical tells the tale of a Baker and his Wife who learn that their next-door neighbor, a Witch, was once wronged by the Baker's father and so she placed a spell on them so they could never have a child. In order to break this spell, the Witch sends them "into the woods" to collect various iconic fairy tale objects. Act I of this musical weaves together the plots of four fairy tales: Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Rapunzel. Along the way, we talk about the show's themes, the double-cast roles, Jack and Little Red's ages, sibling rivalry, the varied portrayals of the Baker and his relationship with the Baker's Wife, Milky White, Cassie's cues from the production she assistant stage managed, the Baker's Wife's "celebrity list," the show's choreography, Daurie's experience playing Rapunzel, the brilliance of this interpretation of Cinderella, and much more, including a plethora of our favorite quotes!Throughout the episode, we reference the following productions of Into the Woods.

We're back to discuss one of Jane's favorite things: a staged musical production. We're talking about 'American Playhouse: Into the Woods' which stars a goddess of stage and screen - Bernadette Peters as The Witch; the extremely delightful and talented Joanna Gleason; and Howard the Duck, himself - Chip Zien! Jane fan girls over Soundheim, Linda somehow finds a way to link the story to Nicolas Cage, and they both discuss the agony of dwarves being very upsetting.

Crooked Table Podcast - The world of film from a fresh angle
The final round of Crooked Table Podcast episodes -- prior to the rebranding, at least -- continues. And of course, we had to tap into the red-headed step-child of Marvel Comics movies: 1986's Howard the Duck. The first full-length movie based on a Marvel character, the movie was an infamous box office and critical disaster? But have its feathers been unjustly ruffled? Jamie Williams returns to the show to help us break down Howard the Duck. We'll discuss the movie's reputation, how it affected stars Lea Thompson and Tim Robbins, and the behind-the-scenes drama that led to one of cinema's most notorious movies. We'll even make a case for why Marvel Studios should consider giving Howard the Duck a second shot at the big screen. SYNOPSIS In this film based on the Marvel Comics character, Howard the Duck (voiced by Chip Zien) is suddenly beamed from Duckworld, a planet of intelligent ducks with arms and legs, to Earth, where he lands in Cleveland. There he saves rocker Beverly (Lea Thompson) from thugs and forms a friendship with her. She introduces him to Phil (Tim Robbins), who works at a lab with scientist Dr. Jenning (Jeffrey Jones). When the doctor attempts to return Howard to his world, Jenning instead transfers an evil spirit into his own body. SHOW NOTES Subscribe to the Crooked Table Podcast on Apple Podcasts!

On Zoey, it turns out that Zoey's extraordinary trip does not mean that Zoey took Terri's advice to go on vacation. Nope, she goes on a drug trip with her neighbor Aidan and her CEO, Danny Michael Davis. This was not what we had in mind. Mentioned: Broadway actor Chip Zien. Yes, he can still sing! Next up, "Zoey's Extraordinary Reckoning."On Veronica, we got a welcome return to the season-one style "case of the week" episode. We didn't appreciate Veronica being so quick to sell Weevil out, however. Next: "Hi, Infidelity."

This week Julie Miranda, and Zane chat with Jessica Kate Ryan about which of life's truths can be gleaned from Sondheim's infamous flop, Merrily We Roll Along!"...to be a Stephen Sondheim fan is to have one's heart broken at regular intervals. Usually, the heartbreak comes from Mr. Sondheim's songs -for his music can tear through us with an emotional force as moving as Gershwin's. And sometimes the pain is compounded by another factor - for some of Mr. Sondheim's most powerful work turns up in shows (''Anyone Can Whistle,'' ''Pacific Overtures'') that fail. Suffice it to say that both kinds of pain are abundant in ''Merrily We Roll Along,'' the new Sondheim-Harold Prince-George Furth musical that opened at the Alvin last night. Mr. Sondheim has given this evening a half-dozen songs that are crushing and beautiful - that soar, and linger, and hurt. But the show that contains them is a shambles." - By FRANK RICH, New York Times- FURTHER READING -Wiki - Musical, PlayiTunesSpotify- CELEBRITY SHOUTOUTS -Stephen Sondheim, George Furth, George S.
