A podcast in the country! We wish we'd been asked!Fresh from the flop (at the time) that was Follies, the team of Sondheim and Prince were looking for something more ... lighthearted and decided to look to both French farces and Bergman films. And we got A Little Night Music or as Clive Barnes, renouned theater critic proclaimed, "Good God! -- an adult musical!"
On today's episode of 'Conversations On Dance', we are joined by choreographer, Omar Román De Jesús. Omar takes us through his early training in Puerto Rico, the leap of faith he took in moving to New York City and how his humble early choreographic beginnings have led to a Princess Grace Award and commissions from world renowned companies. Omar's first work for Ballet Hispanico will premiere at New York City Center this summer, with performances running June 1st through the 3rd, on a program featuring additional works by Pedro Ruiz, Michelle Manzanales and William Forsythe.

Juwan Crawley / @juwancrawley Juwan made his New York debut in the original cast of Spamilton, an award-winning, off-Broadway musical revue that spoofed Hamilton and earned him a nomination for the Clive Barnes award. At the age of 22, Casey Nicholaw created a role on Broadway for Juwan in Aladdin where he is a standby for the Genie, and where he debuted as the youngest person to ever play the role. He was also cast by Tina Fey to play Hudson – a 14-year-old kid - on one of his favorite shows, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. He shares with us in our conversation how, each day, he sits down at the piano at the same time, to write and create music, whether he is in the mood or not. Juwan understands that dedication and commitment results in growth and success, and he shares that insight with us in this week's episode. www.juwancrawley.com www.builtforthestage.com - Schedule your one week trial today! www.broadwaypodcastnetwork.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Clive Barnes decided at the age of 14 to become a critic, and four years later, he chose dance as his specialty. In 1967, he replaced Walter Kerr as The New York Times' drama critic while continuing to cover the world of dance. He describes the role of the critic as a "stimulator of thought and opinion, a catalyst or bridge between the artist and the audience." In addition to his work as a critic, he is an author, lecturer, and professor of journalism and critical writing at New York University.
A conversation from 2005 with the late Clive Barnes, the preeminent critic of the theater and dance world.
The panel of theatre critics -- "New York Post"'s Clive Barnes, "Variety"'s Charles Isherwood, "New York Times"' Peter Marks, "NY1"'s Roma Torre, and "Newsday"'s Linda Winer -- discuss the difference between television and print media, writing styles, the change in opening night review deadlines, audience reactions, unbiased reviews, reading plays prior to attending plays, how the quality of a show influences the quality of a review, returning to a show for a subsequent viewing, and the job market for critics.
