Final summer of shows before new theater debuts Beyond the new theater rising on a ridge above the river, things are percolating as the acting company now known as Hudson Valley Shakespeare prepares for its 38th and final season under the tent. After a rebrand, the "festival" suffix moved down the road. "We're more permanent than ever," says Davis McCallum, the artistic director, explaining the change. "Festivals are associated with a defined time period and then they head off, like the circus, but we still want to have that celebratory, freewheeling exuberance." The Samuel H. Scripps Theater Center is part of a $58 million project that includes the ecological restoration of the former golf course that is now the Hudson Valley Shakespeare campus and the addition of actor housing. This season, the company's full-production plays include Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors, opening June 6, and The Matchmaker (June 8), by Thornton Wilder, which evolved into the Broadway musical Hello, Dolly! and the 1968 film shot in part at Garrison's Landing. Will and Wilder alternate through Aug. 3. Then Octet, written by Beacon resident Dave Malloy, takes over the tent from Aug. 11 to Sept. 7. McCallum pursued the rights to the Tony-nominated play for five years; Hudson Valley Shakespeare is the first company to mount a full production after the show's Off-Broadway run in 2019. "The original rights-holders planned a commercial Broadway production and a film, but COVID hit, and it's only been shown twice since then in limited productions," says McCallum. Malloy's local ties extend to writing the music for Beowulf - A Thousand Years of Baggage, the greatest hit so far by local house-party hosts Jason Craig and Jessica Jelliffe at Banana, Bag & Bodice productions. The following year, 2011, Malloy collaborated with Craig on Beardo, a rock musical about Rasputin. Hudson Valley Shakespeare recently commissioned a work from Banana, Bag & Bodice that's about halfway completed, says McCallum. Octet is billed as a "chamber choir musical" that references tarot cards and explores internet addiction and human alienation in the digital age through dialogue and an eight-part acapella harmony score. Only three of the troupe's regulars could pull off the singing-and-speaking task, so McCallum imported "ringers," he says. When the tent goes dark for a week to prepare the production, the company will roll out HVS Cabaret, which transforms The Valley restaurant into a 45-seat cabaret (Aug. 6 to 9). Performances include a solo work-in-progress musical, Fathertime: Birth, Death and Songs, the return of former troupe member Bebe Nicole Simpson and a performance by composer Alex Bechtel. In addition, a new production of Julius Caesar plays Sept. 9 and 10 for students and the public, with a stripped-down version moving to Bannerman Castle Trust on the island (Sept. 11 to 13). For the first time, the Shakespeare company will send teaching artists and actors to nearby schools for three weeks in September instead of in the spring. Next year, after the Scripps Theater opens, the company will continue to visit schools and, for the first time, bring students to the grounds. McCallum, who worked on The Matchmaker 30 years ago in London, considers Wilder to be "the best American playwright. He won two Pulitzers for drama and another one for a novel - the only American author who achieved that." For The Matchmaker, wife-and-husband team Nance Williamson and Kurt Rhoads, who live in Philipstown, star as Dolly Levi and Horace Vandergelder. Although overshadowed by the Broadway and movie adaptations, the original play complements The Comedy of Errors, McCallum says. "It's uncanny how much these two farces share structure, energy and momentum," he says. "Our actors are feeding off each other as they go back and forth working on them." Hudson Valley Shakespeare is located at 2015 Route 9 in Philipstown. For a schedule and tickets, which range from $10 to $100, see hvshakespear...

durée : 00:15:14 - “Hello Dolly”, une comédie musicale pétillante et pleine de cœur - Sur une partition joyeusement orchestrée par Jerry Herman, l'histoire de cette production emblématique suit la flamboyante Dolly Levi, entremetteuse extraordinaire et ses aventures pleines de rebondissements.

It's been a summer of blockbuster musical theatre shows in London, and this week Josh and Thos take a close look at just two of the amazing productions on offer.  In this episode, it's time to concentrate on two shows named after significant female characters - with Cole Porter's Kiss Me Kate and Jerry Herman's Hello Dolly under the microscope.  Can the emancipated Lilly Vanessi escape comparisons with the ultimately subjugated Kate, and what is Dolly Levi's actual journey (apart from a trolleybus to Yonkers)?  And is that the ghost of Mary Poppins we can see floating overhead? It's Wunderbar! 

Composer Jerry Herman (Composer and lyricist; born July 10, 1931, in New York City) It only takes a moment to realize that Broadway's Golden Age is alive and well and thriving as long as Jerry Herman's around. "When they passed out talent," the legendary Carol Channing has said, "Jerry stood in line twice." Almost single-handedly, the creator of Milk and Honey, Hello, Dolly!, Mame, La Cage aux Folles and so much more has revitalized and nourished the all-American tradition of great and unstoppable show tunes. His music and lyrics have kept audiences tapping their feet, humming along, and wiping their eyes with tears of joy for generations. Even as often he's been underrated as being too easy to like in a world of dark and foreboding musicals, too entertaining, too tuneful and much too upbeat, the genius of Herman's deceptively simple songs cuts through any shortsighted criticism. "Jerry has succeeded so well in his mission that people don't give him credit," said Michael Feinstein, "because to be simple without being cliche is nearly impossible." Herman's genius, in truth, is not so much simple as it is subtle. For all his cock-eyed optimism-and very much in the tradition of his forefathers Rodgers and Hammerstein-a Herman musical always carries a message of timeless values, of humanity's triumph over hatred and ignorance, of happiness over despair. 1983's La Cage aux Folles, a smash hit on Broadway and a Tony Award winner in all three of its Broadway productions-and counting-is not only a bona fide crowd-pleaser but also the most sweetly radical musical of its age. Here on the Broadway stage, decades before the fight for marriage equality hit the headlines, was a pair of gay dads raising a family, and here was "...a man singing a love song to another man-I don't think that's ever been done in a Broadway musical before." Herman told The Washington Post that during previews in Boston "I didn't know whether or not they'd throw stones. The audience gave it an ovation." "By the time Georges and Albin-having weathered a son's passing ingratitude and a zealot's intolerance-walked hand in hand into the St. Tropez sunset, the audience was on its feet," The Washington Post reported. "What La Cage aux Folles celebrates, after all, is loyalty and love, respect for others and respect for self and, yes, even family. The good old values." Gerald Herman was born in New York in 1931 and raised in Jersey City. His parents Harry and Ruth ran a children's summer camp in the Catskills, where young Jerry surprised everyone by teaching himself the piano. Once, he recalled years later, "my parents took me at a tender age to see Annie Get Your Gun, and I was absolutely dazzled. I have one of those retentive ears, and when I came home I sat down at the piano and played about five of the songs. My mother was amazed." Many more would be amazed. At 17, he was introduced to Frank Loesser, who encouraged him to continue composing once he heard some of Herman's songs. He went to the University of Miami, joining its adventurous theater program and himself appearing in undergraduate shows including the musical Finian's Rainbow. His alma mater since then has honored this distinguished alumnus and today boasts the Jerry Herman Ring Theatre at the heart of its drama program. After graduation from Miami, Herman headed back to New York and put together a review of his songs so far: I Feel Wonderful opened at the Theatre de Lys in Greenwich Village October 18, 1954 and ran for 48 performances. He was just getting going. While playing piano in a New York jazz club called the Showplace, Herman brought together his friends Phyllis Newman and Charles Nelson Reilly for another review called Nightcap, which opened in 1958. This one ran for two years. In 1960 came Herman's Broadway debut, alongside material by Fred Ebb and Woody Allen, in the review From A to Z. That same year came Parade, also at the Showplace, starring Reilly and Dody Goodman. A hit, Parade moved to the Players' Theatre and it was during this run that a producer asked Herman if he would be interested in writing a musical about the founding of the state of Israel. Milk and Honey, starring Molly Picon as the ultimate Hadassah lady, opened in 1961. It earned Herman his first Tony nomination for Best Musical of 1962. He had arrived. It was David Merrick who brought together Herman and the first of his vulnerable but ultimately invincible heroines, Dolly Levi. Hello, Dolly! starring Carol Channing opened in 1964, ran for 2,844 performances, became Broadway's longest-running musical and has been revived often since. It swept the Tony Awards, taking home a then unmatched 10 including Best Musical and becoming one of the happiest episodes in the history of the Broadway musical. Mame followed in 1966, starring Angela Lansbury and teaching the world that in the toughest times "We Need a Little Christmas." What has followed amounts to a life-affirming body of work rivaled by few: Dear World, the underappreciated Mack Mabel, The Grand Tour, Mrs. Santa Claus, Jerry's Girls, and of course La Cage aux Folles. The theater world knew a good thing when it heard and saw it: Tonys, Drama Desk Awards, Theatre World Awards all followed, as did a 2009 Special Tony Award for Lifetime achievement, and a 2010 Drama Desk Special Award for "enchanting and dazzling audiences with his exuberant music and heartfelt lyrics for more than half a century." Right now in the 21st Century, we can be sure that someone, somewhere is singing a Jerry Herman song. That's one happy way we know the man's been right all along: the best of times is now.

Mickey-Jo recently had the privilege of attending the press night for one of the West End's biggest shows of the summer, the brand new revival of HELLO, DOLLY!

One of the most iconic musicals of all time, Hello, Dolly!, has returned to the London Palladium, with Jerry Herman's unforgettable score including Put On Your Sunday Clothes, Before the Parade Passes By, It Only Takes a Moment and Hello, Dolly! It's a huge, no-expense-spared production, with a cast of 40, and the legendary Imelda Staunton as the witty and charming matchmaker Dolly Levi. Jenna Russell plays the millineress Irene Molloy. Jenna is well known for her TV roles in Call The Midwife and Eastenders, and many theatre roles, including Guys and Dolls, Merrily We Roll Along, and her Olivier award-winning turn as Dot in Sunday In The Park With George. Nuala McGovern speaks to Jenna about the revival of Hello, Dolly! and the show's message to new audiences. In February 2021, a coup returned Myanmar to military rule, overthrowing the democratically elected government. Under the regime, violence against civilians has escalated, with thousands jailed, tortured and killed – although the numbers are believed be much higher. At least three million people have been displaced. Just two weeks ago, a UN Report outlined the gendered impact of the coup: It found that military forces have committed widespread forms of sexual violence. However, despite the coup's devastating impact, women and girls are taking on key roles within the resistance movement. Also this month, there have been seperate news reports that women are being conscripted into the military. Nuala discusses the situation with Tin Htar Swe, the former head of The BBC's Burmese Service. Nine-year-old Ella Adoo-Kissi-Deborah was the first person in the world to have air pollution listed as a cause of death. She lived near the South Circular Road in Lewisham, South East London and died of a fatal asthma attack in 2013. Her mother, Rosamund, who has been campaigning since her daughters death, is now seeking is seeking an official apology from the government as her high court claim against them heads to trial. She explains why she wants an official apology from the government. Nuala also speaks to Sophie Howe who is the former First Generation Commissioner for Wales where she advised the government on policy around transport and climate change - she now does this for other countries. SAnnie Garthwaite's second novel, The King's Mother, tells the story of historical figure Cecily Neville, mother of Edward IV and Richard III. Annie believes Cecily's role in the Wars of the Roses has been hugely underestimated by historians and her novel places her firmly at the heart of the action. Essie Fox has written five historical novels and her most recent, The Fascination, is set in the world of Victorian theatres and travelling fairs. They join Nuala to discuss the challenge of writing the stories of women who have been overlooked by the history books.Presented by Nuala McGovern Producer: Louise Corley

Colin Flavin, founder of Flavin Architects, has been building modern houses in New England for more than 30 years. An avid sketch artist and an MIT grad, Colin spoke at Modernism Week on East Coast modernist residential architecture and its impact on community design.  Author and artist Justin Beal went to Yale and USC and his art is included in the permanent collections of the Albright Knox Museum, the Hammer Museum, and the LA Museum of Contemporary Art. Now a professor at Hunter College, Justin's most recent project is Sandfuture, a look at life and work of Minoru Yamasaki, who came to fame through the Lambert-St. Louis airport and his most heralded creation, the original World  Trade Center twin towers in New York City.  Later on, we visit with pop and jazz superstar Toni Tennille, the next Dolly Levi, and then sadly, our last segment with TikTok design critic Louisa Whitmore, as she leaves the show to attend University and a bright promising future.

Singer-songwriter Toni Tennille joins WGN Radio’s Steve Dale to talk about her role as Dolly Levi in Yavapai College Performing Arts Center’s performance of Hello Dolly. Later, she discusses her music career and her relationship with the late “Captain” Daryl Dragon.

I would bet (though I can't guarantee it) that I was one of a very small number of white 8-year-old Wisconsin boys who, on Sunday nights in the summer of 1969, tuned in faithfully to watch every single episode of the short-lived variety series, The Leslie Uggams Show. Ever since encountering her on that groundbreaking show, I have loved Ms. Uggams: her combination of vivacious high spirits, powerhouse vocalism, and personal style and beauty has always enchanted me. Her performing career began long before I was born, when she appeared as a child star on various television competitions and series, later creating television history in the early sixties as a star of Sing Along with Mitch. Later she starred in a central role in 1977's Roots, the miniseries that changed the face of television. Her popularity continues to the present day, with her appearances in such series as Empire and such films as the Deadpool franchise. Some of her more recent fans may not realize that she was also a vital performer in musicals and theatre, including her Tony-Award-winning performance in Hallelujah, Baby! in 1968 and performances in regional theatre of some of the most iconic female starring roles, including Mama Rose, Dolly Levi, and Mame Dennis. In this episode feature her in sung performances over the course of more than 60 years with special focus on her recorded work from the late 1960s. Whether you are an old or a new fan, I hope that you will be as beguiled by Leslie Uggams as I always have been.

CLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER CONTENT WARNING: Gambling, theft, abuse, homelessness, economic issues. Notwithstanding her often tempestuous behavior, we here at Macintosh & Maud consider Barbra Streisand as one of the greats. She’s already made an appearance as Dolly Levi, shining through her co-star’s complete lack of interest or care. But it’s this role that started her stardom, before she’d ever been in a film. Barbra is Fanny, Fanny is Barbra, and none of what we see in these movies is the actual Fanny Brice. Which is fine for our first movie on the docket - sure it’s slow, and a little pointless, but those songs and that drama, wow! But when it comes to the film we’re more focused on for this series, we’re once again left asking “why bother and who cared?” It was the best of Barbra, it was the worst of Barbra, as we continue our Oscars ‘75 series with 1968’s Funny Girl and 1975’s Funny Lady You can email us with feedback at macintoshandmaud@gmail.com, or you can connect with us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

Do your Purpose. Make it Profitable. GOLD NUGGETS: 1. The core of Dean’s success, and how he was able to leverage a $20 million business, were these 2 critical questions: 1) Who can I help? 2) How can I help? 2.

Use the fun tricks and tools of a magician in your marketing and presentations to create an experience that will impact people that they will remember. 4. Instead of coming to people saying, “Give me a booking. Give me a check. Give me... and I'll show you some magic tricks.” I'm saying, “How can I use my skills, talents, resources, assets, abilities, passions, programs, compassions and processes to make a difference for you?” And I still get to do what I love to do and I get to make a whole lot more money because I can help more people. If you want more business. This is for everybody... If you want more business simply find more people to serve. 5. If you fail to provide results, no matter how slick or savvy your marketing is, no matter how slick or savvy your customer service is, no matter slick or savvy your idea is… If you fail to deliver on value and results, you fail as a business person. 6. If you value people like God values them, in the way he values them, you have your entire business right there in a box.

Australia’s First Lady of musical comedy, Jill Perryman made her stage debut at the tender age of two when her parents were touring in White Horse Inn. Her first big break came whilst she was in the chorus of Call Me Madam when as understudy to Evie Hayes she was called upon to play the leading role. Jill went from success to success appearing in J.C.Williamson’s South Pacific, Paint Your Wagon, The Pajama Game and Can Can. Further triumphs followed with legendary performances through a stellar career; No, No Nanette, Annie, A Little Night Music and The Boy From Oz.Kevan Johnston's hard work, early in life, studying all forms of dance under his mother Peggy Esler’s tuition paid off, for when he auditioned for Call Me Madam, he landed the role of principal dancer. He impressed the directors because he was again made principal dancer for several other shows including Paint Your Wagon, Can Can and The Pajama Game, where he became one of Australia’s first Fosse dancers alongside Tikki Taylor and Frank Sheldon, in the iconic Steam Heat number. Parallel careers as a choreographer and Television producer have also offered Kevan opportunities to contribute impressively to entertainment in Australia.The pair have managed careers which have offered them several opportunities to work together in productions. These have included Wallflowering, Carnival, The One Day of the Year, Annie and celebrated turns in the GFO national tour of Hello Dolly! - a theatrical gift which saw Jill in the role of Dolly Levi and Kevan leading the waiter’s gallop as Rudy, in the famed Harmonia Gardens’ sequence.Jill and Kevan are luminaries of the Australian stage; not only in musical theatre, but also with extensive credits in stage drama, television and film, across several decades. It was a super treat to catch up with them and I know you’ll be delighted too, hearing them in conversation with recollections of a vast contribution to the Arts in Australia.

When it was announced that DONNA MURPHY would be filling in for Bette Midler on Tuesday evenings in the Tony-winning revival of Hello, Dolly!, the two-time Tony winner described the opportunity as "heavenly." That's the word audiences are surely using when they see Murphy in the role of the meddlesome matchmaker. With few opportunities left to catch the elegant star as Dolly Levi (she will perform on August 12, 19 and 20) before the production takes its final bow on August 25, we jumped at the chance to speak with her about how the loss of her husband, actor Shawn Elliott, informed performance as a Dolly, widow starting her life anew. Murphy also opened up her early days on the New York theater scene, where she keeps her Tony Awards and much more on Show People with Paul Wontorek.

"Ich glaube nicht, dass ich mich zum Regisseur eigne" - Grete Mosheim über ihre Regiearbeit. Mit siebzehn Jahren debütiere sie am Deutschen Theater in Berlin, wurde schnell zum Star, danach emigrierte sie in die USA und kam in den 50er-Jahren zurück nach Deutschland. Grete Mosheim war ein vielgefeierter internationaler Star, dessen Wirken etwa die "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" am 14.6.86 als "Sternstunden des deutschen Nachkriegstheaters" bezeichnete. Steiler Aufstieg Zur Welt kam Grete Mosheim am 29.1.1905 in Berlin in einer Arztfamlie. Nach dem Lyzeum, an dem sie schon erste Bühnenerfahrungen machte, absolvierte sie ihre schauspielerische Ausbildung an der von Max Reinhardt 1905 eingerichteten "Schauspielschule des Deutschen Theaters zu Berlin". Und bald sollte ihr Debüt an dieser Bühne kommen: bereits im Alter von siebzehn Jahren bekam sie schon kleinere Rollen. Den Durchbruch verdankte sie der Erkrankung einer Darstellerin, für die sie deren Hauptrolle übernahm. Der Weg zum Star war nun geebnet. Es folgten weitere zahlreiche Rollen an den Berliner Bühnen, wobei sie vor allem als Eliza Doolittle und als Gretchen die Herzen des Publikums eroberte. Doch die "braune Zeit" unterbrach 1933 ihre steile Karriere. Die Millionärsgattin Über Klagenfurt kam Grete Mosheim 1934 nach London, wo sie ebenfalls am Theater spielte, doch nach vier Jahren - inzwischen von ihrem ersten Ehemann Oskar Homolka geschieden - siedelte sie in die USA über. Dort sollte sie eine neue Rolle übernehmen. Noch in London lernte Grete Mosheim den amerikanischen Multimillionär Howard Gould kennen, den sie schließlich heiratete. Nun verbrachte man die nächste Zeit vorwiegend auf Reisen und Kreuzfahrten auf der Jacht des Eisenbahnmagnaten. Aus einem Bühnenstar wurde nun eine Ehefrau im goldenen Käfig, der sie jedoch zu erdrücken schien. Die Ehe wurde geschieden und Grete Mosheim heiratete nun zum dritten Mal. Ein Jahr später, 1952, war die Schauspielerin wieder in Deutschland und ließ sich zu einer Wiederaufnahme ihrer Bühnentätigkeit überreden. Nun sollten Jahre weiterer großer Triumphe folgen – nach vierzehn Jahren Bühnenabstinenz eroberte Grete Mosheim die Herzen des Publikums im Sturm. Zweite Karriere Grete Mosheim wurde auch international bekannt und spielte nicht nur in Berlin, sondern stand auf den Bühnen von Zürich, Basel, Wien, New York und London. Es folgten unzählige Rollen, die sie zu einer der begehrtesten Charakterdarstellerinnen machten. So war sie etwa die Claire Zachanassian in dem Stück "Der Besuch der alten Dame" von Friedrich Dürrenmatt, die Winnie in dem Stück "Glückliche Tage" von Samuel Beckett oder Mrs. Dolly Levi in der Farce von Thornton Wilder "Die Heiratsvermittlerin", um nur einige wenige zu nennen. Während Grete Mosheim vor ihrer Emigration in zahlreichen Filmen mitwirkte, so fiel ihre Filmbilanz nach der Rückkehr eher bescheiden aus. Bis 1933 spielte sie in zwei Dutzend Filmen mit, nach 1952 war sie in nur wenigen Streifen zu sehen. Ihre letzte Filmrolle übernahm sie 1978 in dem Drama "Moritz, lieber Moritz" von Hark Bohm als Großmutter. Grete Mosheim starb am 29.12.86 in New York. Die Gazetten würdigten die Schauspielerin in zahlreichen Nachrufen. So stellte etwa der "Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger" am 30.12.86 fest: "Sie war eine Schauspielerin höchsten Ranges…". Mit einem Beschluss vom 24.11.04 benannte die Stadt München eine Straße nach ihr. Im Januar 1975 sprach DW-Redakteurin Renate Deutsch mit Grete Mosheim über ihre Arbeit.
