This week, writers John Berendt and Taylor Mac discuss the Goodman Theatre's world-premiere stage musical adaptation of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Berendt is the author of the original book the musical is based on, and Mac wrote the book for the adaptation. Learn more about Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil: The Musical, here. This conversation originally took place July 8, 2024 and was recorded live at the American Writers Museum. AWM PODCAST NETWORK HOME More about Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil: The Musical Southern charm is bountiful in Savannah, Georgia. But behind polite smiles, the eccentric residents are filled with secrets and motives. When wealthy antiques dealer Jim Williams is accused of murder, the sensational trial uncovers hidden truths and exposes the fine line between good and evil—which sparks Lady Chablis and other Savannahians to change the city forever. The world-premiere stage musical adaptation of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil—John Berendt's 1994 blockbuster non-fiction book, a Pulitzer-Prize finalist that was on the New York Times Best-Seller list for 216 weeks—is realized at Goodman Theatre by creators MacArthur “Genius” Grantee Taylor Mac (book), Tony Award winner Jason Robert Brown (music and lyrics) with choreography by Tanya Birl-Torres. Tony Award winner Rob Ashford directs a cast led by Tony- and Grammy-Award winning actor J. Harrison Ghee as The Lady Chablis; Tony Award nominee Tom Hewitt as Jim Williams; and Olivier Award nominee Sierra Boggess as Emma Dawes. JOHN BERENDT was born and raised in Syracuse, New York. He attended Harvard, where he majored in English and wrote for the Harvard Lampoon. Upon graduation he was hired by Esquire magazine—first as an editor, then as a monthly columnist. Later, he became the editor of New York Magazine. It was during a trip to the South in the mid-1980s that he discovered Savannah—a cloistered, inward-looking garden city that basked on the Georgia coast, reveling in its own peculiarities and giving not a thought to the outside world. He was enchanted and began writing about the city and its people in what would eventually become the non-fiction book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. TAYLOR MAC is a MacArthur Fellow, a Pulitzer Prize Finalist, a Tony Award Nominee (for Best Play), and the recipient of the Kennedy Prize (with Matt Ray), the Doris Duke Performing Artist Award, a Guggenheim, a Drama League Award, a NY Drama Critics Circle Award, two Obie's, two Bessies, and the first American to receive the International Ibsen Award. Mac is the author of Joy and Pandemic (Huntington Theater); The Hang (with Matt Ray); Gary, A Sequel to Titus Andronicus; A 24-Decade History of Popular Music; Hir; The Fre, The Walk Across America For Mother Earth, The Lily's Revenge; The Young Ladies Of; and The Be(A)st of Taylor Mac. The documentary Taylor Mac's A 24-Decade History of Popular Music recently premiered on HBO to critical acclaim.
Dean, Dave, and Andy start this week off by talking about the NASCAR race today and the buzz around the city today. J. Harrison Ghee, Star of “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” at the Goodman Theatre, joins Dean to talk about coming to Chicago for the production and more about the play. […]

Volvemos con otro musical basado en una película de Billy Wilder: ”Some like it hot”, estrenada en España como “Con faldas y a lo loco”. Una obra maestro del cine que se ha adaptado a musical en dos ocasiones, en el año 1972 con el título de “Sugar” con música de Jule Styne y otra en 2022, que es la que vamos a tratar en este podcast, con música de Marc Shaiman y un nuevo libreto que estoy seguro que Billy Wilder, autor del guion para la película, hubiese aplaudido de haber podido verlo en escena, pero de eso ya lo comentamos al final del podcast. Vamos a viajar en el tiempo hasta los violentos años 30 en la turbulenta Chicago para embarcarnos con una orquesta de señoritas, en una historia divertida que es a la vez un viaje interior acompañados de un buen puñado de canciones. En el reparto tenemos a Christian Borle como Joe en el papel que en cine hizo Tony Curtis, que a su vez es Josephine cuando se viste de mujer y también es Kip cuando se hace pasar por un guionista. J. Harrison Ghee es Jerry, el negro amigo de Joe, papel que en cine hizo Jack Lemmon, que también interpreta a Daphne cuando se viste de mujer. Adriana Hicks es Sugar la vocalista de color que interpreta el papel que en cine hizo Marilyn Monroe. Kevin del Aguila es Osgood el millonario, Natasha Yvette Williams es Sweet Sue, la directora de color de la banda de señoritas, Mark Lotito es el gánster Colombo y Adam Heller es el agente Mulligan del FBI. 00h 00’00” Runnin’ wild – Marilyn Monroe 00h 01’04” Presentación 00h 02’43” Cabecera 00h 03’50” Introducción 00h 04’51” What are you thirsty for? 00h 11’33” You can’t have me (If you don’t have him) 00h 17’24” Vamp! 00h 22’18” I’m California bound 00h 27’44” A darker shade of blue 00h 32’36” Take it up a step 00h 36’37” Zee bap 00h 40’16” At the Old Majestic Nickel matinee 00h 46’00” Little por millionaire 00h 51’50” Some like it hot 00h 58’14” Let’s be bad 01h 03’22” Dance the world away 01h 08’53” Fly, Mariposa, fly 01h 13’28” You could’ve knocked me over with a feather 01h 18’20” He lied when he said hello 01h 23’52” Ride out the storm 01h 28’43” Tip-tap trouble 01h 34’37” Baby, let’s be good 01h 38’18” Anécdotas y curiosidades 01h 41’11” Chicago (musical “Sugar”) – Maria Santallusia 01h 48’37” A lonely Joe 01h 53’19” Let’s be bad (Smash) – Megan Hilty

This Pride month, many LGBTQ people are grappling with complicated feelings. Anti-gay and anti-trans political attacks are becoming all too common, Pride celebrations are being banned or canceled in some parts of the United States, and many of us are wondering how to put this in perspective.

If rainbow capitalism never mattered in the first place, why does this year's backtracking feel bad?

They end the show, as always, with some new additions to the Gay Agenda. Items discussed in the show: J.

The new Broadway musical "Some Like It Hot" updates the original 1959 film and turns the show into a rollicking celebration of embracing your true self. Adrianna Hicks, who stars as Sugar Kane, and J. Harrison Ghee, who stars as Jerry/Daphne, join us to discuss the show, running now at the Shubert Theater.
A musical adaptation of the 1959 movie, "Some Like It Hot," is now on Broadway. The movie has been acclaimed as one of the best comedy films of all time, but much of that comedy relies on the trope of men using drag as a disguise. It's a trope that Broadway is no stranger to, as evidenced by recent adaptations of "Mrs. Doubtfire" and "Tootsie." The "Some Like It Hot" musical attempts to alleviate this tension between historic and often harmful portrayals of drag and the rich reality of drag as art, self-expression, and everything in between. But can a revision of an old story featuring harmful stereotypes ever truly be a vehicle for authentic representation? We speak with J. Harrison Ghee, star of Some Like It Hot, about the show's new take on his character. We learn about the evolution of drag in theater from Domenick Scudera, professor of theater at Ursinus College. And we talk with Miss Peppermint — drag star, actress and ambassador for Trans Justice at the ACLU — about her experience as a trans woman working on Broadway and in the drag industry during this time of rising hatred against drag performers and gender non-conforming folks.

I'm Patricia O'Connell for This is Capitalism. Today I'm talking with Brian Lipton, who is the Chief Theater Critic for Cititour.com and the former editor-in-chief and currently a contributing editor to TheaterMania.com. He is going to take us behind the scenes at Broadway and give us a little bit of a look at what's going on with Broadway, the return to Broadway for both actors and theatergoers. Key Takeaways: [:29] Patricia O'Connell introduces Brian Lipton, a theater critic for Cititour.com and contributing editor to TheaterMania.com, and welcomes him to This is Capitalism. [1:01] What does the closing of Phantom mean after 35 years? Is it just time? It has made its money back so many times that its lead producer, Cameron Mackintosh, could run it as long as he wanted to. With its closing notice, its grosses have soared to their highest in years. Winter is not the tourist season, and COVID-19 is still a factor. [3:01] All Broadway shows are capitalized, which is really the amount of money it takes to put the show on from start to finish: rehearsals, scenery, rent, and things up until day one. For a large musical now, $15 to $25 million is not an unusual capitalization. You have to make that money back during the run to get a profit. [3:38] Then you have the weekly running costs. The set's already done, but you still have to pay rent, actors, and union people every week, and make that money back. For a musical like Phantom, that's estimated to be in the $750,000 to $1 million range because Phantom is a very elaborate show to make every week just to break even. [4:17] If you're doing a limited run, it's often built in that you need to be running at pure capacity. Into the Woods is still at the St. James, but it was originally scheduled for an eight-week run, and the only way that could've made money at eight weeks is if, for eight weeks it ran 100 percent. It did come close to that, but it's no longer coming close. [4:45] The longer the run goes on, sometimes the less you have to make that 100 percent. But you can't do badly; you have to still pack a fair amount of the house at full-price tickets if you're going to meet your running costs. And the minute you don't do that, you run the risk of being in the red. [5:05] Discounting tickets is a major factor. If you're selling 1,000 seats at $60 or $70, you're making $700,000 a week instead of $2 million a week. The Music Man doesn't discount, so it is taking in over $3 million every week. That will help it to be profitable by the time it closes. If they discounted by 50 percent, they wouldn't have a chance. [5:51] The Music Man had the option of running after Hugh Jackman decided to leave. And he is staying a few weeks past his contract. This has been done before when you have a star who is so powerful. Maybe the wisest business move, even if you could still make money — it's an expensive show with a large cast — is to take the money and go. [6:23] Hugh Jackman is one of those rare people who is a true movie star and a true theater star even though he has only been on Broadway three or four times, most notably, of course, in The Boy from Oz, his big Broadway debut. But he has created a huge following. Some people go back to see him four to six times. [7:04] There are shows that have always done stunt casting. You'll see, for example, Pamela Anderson doing Chicago. She was quite good. But more to the point, she brought in business. She had the highest grosses for Chicago in many months, if not years. And that was a perfect example of the right way to do stunt casting. [8:08] A lot of Broadway will be dominated, especially straight plays maybe more than musicals, by star casting, whether it's stunt casting or not. In a lot of cases, they're going to look for that star power to motivate the box office. [8:27] Now conversely, the musical, Some Like It Hot, stars Christian Borle, Adrianna Hicks, and J. Harrison Ghee, who, their talents notwithstanding, are not known stars. They are banking on the property and the careers of Scott Wittman and Marc Shaiman, who wrote the score. They have Tonys for Hairspray and they're very well known. [9:00] Brian doesn't think we're going to see a lot of truly original work on Broadway for a while. Everything will be based on a movie or a book or is a revival of a famous play. Theater that comes from scratch is few and far between. [9:21] This '22 to '23 will be the first “normal” Broadway theater season that we've had in several years now. I mean the 2019 to 2020 season got cut short, of course, because of Covid. What we're seeing now is a lot of flux. [9:42] This is a very unusual year in that a number of shows opened in December, including one, The Collaboration. It's an imagined conversation between Andy Warhol and Jean-Paul Basquiat. It's also being filmed simultaneously and it's coming in for a limited run. By the end of 2022, Broadway will be surprisingly full. [10:12] But January will bring the closing of Beetlejuice, after eight months. A Strange Loop, which won the Tony in 2022, for Best Musical, is closing on January fifteenth, which will make it, depending on how you count things, either the shortest or the third-shortest running Best Musical ever. There are also some limited runs now. [10:43] Phantom closes in February. But spring is usually the more prominent season than fall. Again, better weather, maybe more tourists, and closer to Tony time. Almost all of the big musical houses, The Winter Garden, the Marquis, and the St. James, are vacant for the spring. Brian wonders if the producers are hedging their bets. [11:20] Back to the Future, for example, is the kind of show that would probably have to take a million to a million-and-a-half every week just to be in break-even territory. [11:31] There is a symbiotic relationship between the New York City economy and Broadway. In the last full theater season, 2018 to 2019, Broadway ticket sales were $1.8 billion. That is more than the ten major league sporting teams in the New York City area, which is staggering, because what's more popular, sports or Broadway? [12:05] Can Broadway rely on locals? This fall, Broadway is doing surprisingly well without a huge tourist influx. There is a very strong local audience — New York City and the tri-state area, that will come to Broadway for something they want to see. The tourists augment locals in any season and are most important in spring and summer. [12:53] If we looked at a forecast and said that nobody is coming in the summer of 2023, that may be why spring producers are hedging their bet. You're never going to be able to run big, expensive shows without the tourist base. You can run Laura Linney for 16 weeks, and it's probably not a big deal because that's not what the tourists flock to. [13:37] When the tourists come, they want to see musicals. Broadway has some very long-running musicals like Hamilton, that's still bringing in insane amounts of money, Lion King, that's doing super well, and Wicked, that's still close to $2 million a week. They're there for the tourists. [14:01] A lot of tourists only come to New York once in their life and the one time they're coming they want to see Hamilton, The Lion King, and Wicked — the big, long-running shows. They don't necessarily want to see the hot, new show. Book of Mormon is running still on tourists. Chicago has run this long because tourists go see it. [14:33] What show will be the next “Phantom”? Chicago and Lion King, which opened in 1997, have run for 25 years. Will they run another ten? Lion King might. Its enduring popularity is because it is child-driven while pleasing to adults. There are always children being born. So Disney may have a chance to break the Broadway record. [15:27] Nobody would've bet on Chicago running 25 years. Chicago has the advantage of having made its money back so many times that its producers, led by Barry and Fran Weissler, if they want to just do this for the sake of doing it, they can run it. [15:34] Chicago is a very minimalist show; its running costs are very small, probably half a million or less. And so all you need to do is break that every week, give or take, and you can keep running. So those two have the chance to be the new Phantom. [15:55] We've seen recent revivals of the King & I, Carousel, Oklahoma, My Fair Lady; and South Pacific. How many of the great classic musicals are there left to recycle? The Sound of Music hasn't had a major Broadway production in around 25 years. So Brian won't be shocked if that comes down the pike. [16:35] We may be getting revivals featuring people of color or other non-traditional castings. There's a buzz for the first real revival ever of Kiss of the Spider Woman, which provides roles for three Latinx performers. Chita Rivera originated it but she was the only Latinx lead of the original threesome – we could easily have a revival of that. [17:14] All of the Lomans in Death of a Salesman, the five family members, are Black. The rest of the characters, who were always white, have remained white, which gives the play another dimension because we see interracial relationships and how that plays into the text. [17:40] There may be a way to breathe new life into “old shows” or revivals and bring new life to them in an interesting spin. Death of a Salesman is color-conscious casting. You know the Lomans are Black even though they have not changed the text. In the more popular color-blind casting, you're not supposed to think about their color at all. [18:16] There are producers that are in this for the glory and they'll produce things so they can get their Tony award. And there is the larger group of producers who treat theater as show business, not show art. They want to make money. If a particular type of play is not making money, you're not getting more of it. That's how this works. [18:45] If Brian could produce any show he wanted, with any star, in the world of show business, he would produce Audra McDonald in anything she wanted to do: Gypsy, A Little Night Music, Sweeney Todd. Audra McDonald and Stephen Sondheim are probably Brian's dream combination.

Back in 2015, the national tour of KINKY BOOTS was on its way to Durham, North Carolina for a one week run at the Durham Performing Arts Center. For BroadwayWorld, I was able to interview its Lola at the time, J. Harrison Ghee, who happens to be a native of North Carolina. Since the interview took place, Ghee went on to do several stints as Lola in the New York production. In fact, he most recently participated in a workshop for a brand new stage musical adaptation of Billy Wilder's classic 1959 comedy, SOME LIKE IT HOT, taking on the role of Jerry, which in the movie earned Jack Lemmon an Oscar nomination for Best Actor. Ghee can currently be seen on Broadway as Andre in MRS. DOUBTFIRE, which recently resumed performances following a three-month hiatus. Follow J.

This week, we're going to Broadway, baby! The wild, wonderful, kinky side of Broadway - with J. Harrison Ghee and Kinky Boots! Ghee's performance (currently on Broadway) as Lola heightens an already fascinating character and takes her into the stratosphere. Ghee takes you on a ride, and by the end of the show, you'll be head over heels in love with her. And you'll be left wondering how he could possibly do this up to eight times a week. The show is about so many things - acceptance, empathy, dignity, and the freedom to be yourself - but there's also an underlying theme of fatherhood and unmet expectations that forms the backbone of the show and defines the two main characters. On this episode, I talk to Ghee about how he got his start on the stage, his stint at Tokyo Disneyland, his many personal parallels with Lola and Kinky Boots, what the show means to him personally, and what it means to "be a man."
Prepare for plenty of praise breaks as we talk with Kinky Boots star J. Harrison Ghee about the accessibility of and his strong connection to the Tony-winning musical, his discovery of drag performance as his personal ministry, and The Gospel according to J!
The new musical "The Sting," now entering its last weekend at Paper Mill Playhouse, was pretty much totally sold out before it even opened. A musical adaptation of the classic, Oscar-winning film of the same name starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford, this new version stars Harry Connick, Jr., J. Harrison Ghee and Kate Shindle – to name a few. Theater-goers know Ghee from his inimitable performance as the drag queen hero Lola of the Tony Award-winning "Kinky Boots," and they know Shindle from Broadway productions of "Jekyll & Hyde," "Cabaret," "Wonderland" and the national tour of the Tony Award-winning musical "Fun Home." We spoke with both of them earlier this week as they were preparing for their final performances of this smash-hit run at Paper Mill.
