Inspired by Jamie Lee Curtis, and Nancy's matinees at the Menier Chocolate Factory in Marjorie Prime, Sarah and Nancy take a gentle look at the pleasure of a mid-afternoon performance. And suggest that perhaps we should be considering shows at midnight too! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Over the last decade, Celinde Schoenmaker has cemented herself as the West End's favourite soprano taking on roles like Christine in The Phantom of the Opera, Fantine in Les Miserables and Franca in The Light in the Piazza. Now, Celinde is taking on the role of Sarah Brown in the Bridge Theatre's new immersive production of Guys & Dolls. Since the show premiered on Broadway, the show has experienced numerous revivals, a film adaptation and this latest production has received rave reviews from critics and audiences alike. Celinde will also soon be returning to the role of Lara in Doctor Zhivago at the London Palladium following 2 sold out concerts at Cadogan Hall in 2019. On top of her work in musical theatre, Celinde was also seen in the Golden Globe winning film Rocketman starring opposite Taron Edgerton and Richard Madden and was also recently in Hong Kong Love Story. More recently, she also got engaged to fellow actor Richard Fleeshman who is currently starring in Marjorie Prime and we get to hear her express her excitement at being able to work at the same time as her partner.In this special interview, Celinde looks back over the last ten years of her luminating career.  Throughout the conversation, she seemed genuinely humbled by her experience of being able to play in some of the world's biggest shows as well as being given the opportunity to recreate one of the most iconic roles in the musical theatre canon.  Musical theatre fans will be familiar with her crystal clear soprano and be delighted with her unique portrayal of the passionate and loveable Sarah Brown. Celinde also praises Nicholas Hytner's vision for creating such a brilliant experience for Bridge Theatre's audiences and encourages other theatre creatives to be more innovative with their productions as immersive shows become more popular. It's a fascinating discussion and we get to really feel the warmth of Celinde's character as she reflects over her life and career as she optimistically looks forward to new opportunities ahead.Guys & Dolls is playing at the Bridge Theatre until 2nd September and Doctor Zhivago plays at the London Palladium on 7th May.

Nancy, currently on stage in Marjorie Prime, completely lost her voice thanks to bacterial laryngitis - which prompted Sarah to ask whether actors' voices have changed down the years, and what you can do to change and alter your voice. With special reference to Richard Burton, Benedict Cumberbatch - and Sting! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As Nancy prepares to open in Marjorie Prime, she and Sarah discuss how few women's voices are still heard - and ways to make sure women are studied in schools and listened to on stage and film. With nods to Caitlin Moran, Sleepova at the Bush Theatre, Women Talking - and why Nancy feels the urge to jump over furniture. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Kelli Foster Warder of Theater Latte Da recommends going to see a musical fitting for Valentine's Day. It's Bucket Brigade Theater's “Till Death: A Marriage Musical.” The show tells the story of two married couples stuck together in one cabin. One couple is reevaluating their marriage, while the other appears caught up in that honeymoon glow. The result, Warder said, is “hilarious and insightful and a really great night.” The 10-year-old production's performers are all married couples in real life, including Jeremiah and Vanessa Gamble, who co-wrote the music and lyrics. Warder said she's seen the show several times over the years and gets something new from it each time. The final four shows of the run are Friday through Monday at Art House North in St. Paul. The production is in-person with reduced audience capacity and masks required. St. Paul actress and writer Greta Grosch is an equity actor, but it's community theater that she's excited to share this week: Theatre in the Round stages “Marjorie Prime” starting this weekend. Set in the near-future, 85-year-old Marjorie has a handsome young man in her life. That “man” is a hologram of her late husband, imbued with artificial intelligence so that he can feed Marjorie the stories of her life as she loses her memory. The heartfelt play by Jordan Harrison is full of plot twists that take the audience on a journey. The play was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2015, and it was made into a movie in 2017. Courtesy of Katie Sondrol Actress Katie Wodele (Tess) and actor David Denninger (Jon) rehearse for Marjorie Prime at Theatre in the Round. Grosch said she's thrilled to see Theatre in the Round emerge through the pandemic to celebrate its 70th season this year. “Marjorie Prime” runs Friday through March 6. Masks and proof of vaccination or negative COVID test are required. Pamela Potter Langley loves to support her local arts scene in Zumbrota, and she's thrilled that a Minnesota musician she has admired since the ‘80s will be coming to her town for a concert. Folk singer/songwriter John Gorka's long career has spanned 11 albums and a collector's edition, with performances across the globe. Don't see video? Click here: “John's music just keeps aging beautifully,” said Potter Langley, “and some of the lyrics are, for me, as pertinent now as they were back in the ‘80s when I listened to some of the songs for the first time.” Potter Langley said she's traveled far to hear the iconic singer perform so she feels lucky that she can walk a few blocks to the historic State Theatre in Zumbrota to enjoy this show with friends. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. Saturday. Masks are required in the theater unless eating or drinking. The State Theatre in Zumbrota celebrated its 100th anniversary last October.

One of my rituals when I go to the cinema (remember the cinema? The place with the big screen where you sit in the dark next to lots of people and have a collective experience?) Well, when I go I like to sit through all the credits at the end because I'm always amazed at how many people it takes to make something that's 90 minutes long. It's such a vast network of vital, interconnecting people. And one of those vital people is a music supervisor. I like to think of them as a DJ or selector for a movie but of course it's far more complicated than that. Which is why I have on today's episode, Lucy Bright to tell us more about it.With a degree in History of Art, Lucy started out at Mute Records during her gap year Mute records represent the likes of Nick Cave, New Order, Depeche Mode, and Goldfrapp. She then moved to Warner Classics for six years before leaving to manage acclaimed composer Michael Nyman - he wrote the music for the Oscar winning film The Piano & The 2018 Alexander McQueen documentary amongst many others. She was at music publishing company Music Sales for 10 years overseeing an extraordinary roster of film composers including Gabriel Yared (Cold Mountain,The English Patient), Ludovico Einaudi, Philip Glass, Nico Muhly (The Reader), Hildur Guðnadóttir (the woman who won the Oscar and every award going this year for her scoring of Joker). This year Lucy is starting a new venture with the launch of her own music publishing company, Bright Notion Music.Lucy has music supervised some of the most critically-acclaimed British films of recent years: Samantha Morton's directorial debut The Unloved, Lynne Ramsey's The Swimmer, John Maclean's Slow West, Justin Kurzel's Assassin's Creed, Michael Almereyda's Marjorie Prime and Sean Durkin's The Nest starring Jude Law and Carrie Coon which premiered at Sundance Film Festival 2020. Her work in television is equally renowned including Southcliffe, McMafia and Shane Meadows's This is England ‘90 and The Virtues. She is currently working on TV drama Little Birds for Sky Atlantic and LIFE for BBC One (jointly with Catherine Grieves).We talk about her journey into music supervision, what inspires her, the role of a composer within the context of film, the under-representation of female composers in the film industry, and the lessons learned along the way.Guest: Lucy BrightTitle: The artist is the film director and you are there to serve their visionInstagram: @lightlightbrightAlbums/Artists on playlist: Bob Dylan Oh Mercy, Leonard Cohen, Memories from the album Death of a Ladies' Man and Rob Simonsen ReveriesTo support the podcast click here See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

KPFA theatre critic Richard Wolinsky reviews “Marjorie Prime” by Jordan Harrison at Marin Theatre Company through May 27, 2018. Marin Theatre Company   The post Review: Marjorie Prime, at Marin Theatre Company appeared first on KPFA.

Mother's Day is just around the corner, and it brings with it Life of the Party, a film about a mom humiliating her daughter by going back to college (it's also just shown up as one of Carrie's most-anticipated films of the summer!). To celebrate both of these things, we're celebrating our favorite films about mothers and daughters. Whether it's a loving relationship, a fraught relationship, or a relationship complicated by the fact that one of them has accidentally been turned into a bear, movies about the difficulties of women's family relationships have been a reliable source of comedy and drama for decades, and we're excited to share our picks for the best of the lot. In Worth Mentioning, Carrie share's her thoughts on Kodachrome, while Rob has a couple of quick hits on Marjorie Prime, Imperiumand Allied.

The 1977 infection-on-a-train movie The Cassandra Crossing was an international affair fraught with potential pitfalls.  Funded with British, Italian, and West German money, the movie shot in Italy, France and Switzerland and managed to avoid attempts to shut it down by vandals and the Italian government.  Also in the mix was that producer Carlo Ponti was married to the film's leading lady Sophia Loren and star Richard Harris was married to then pregnant co-star Ann Turkel. Despite a cast that also included Ava Gardner, Burt Lancaster, Martin Sheen, OJ Simpson, Alida Valli and Lee Strasberg, The Cassandra Crossing would ultimately be brought down by bad reviews and even worse US box office receipts.   Dan and Vicky bask in this lovable, wacky disaster film from the 70's and it's equally bonkers cast with a raucous discussion punctuated by audio clips from the film and one truly bad Ann Turkel croaked theme song!  In between the laughs, they give their thoughts on some recently seen including 1981's Dead and Buried, Marjorie Prime, Happy Death Day, Strangers: Prey at Night, The Skinny, The Red Shoes, and I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore.   Hot Date is going viral with Episode 67:  The Cassandra Crossing!  Enjoy and leave us some feedback.

The inimitable Lois Smith has lived a full and exciting life, beginning in Kansas in 1930 and leading her to where she is today, acting in films like Marjorie Prime and Lady Bird at the age of 87. Lois studied theater at the University of Washington, got married at the age of 18, moved to New York with her husband, and has acted on stage and screen ever since. In this episode, she and Sam spend a peaceful hour discussing all of these milestones, along with Lois' first job in the Broadway play Time Out With Ginger, her LIFE magazine cover in 1955, her mindset when it comes to promoting films, and some wisdom from her character in Minority Report. http://talkeasypod.com/artist/lois-smith/

The Ultimate Sundance London 2017 Lowdown! Sundance London 2017 is the Official "spin off" festival to The Sundance Festival that focuses on independent filmmakers and documentaries. The Sundance Film Festival was started by Robert Redford has been instrumental in igniting the success of then small filmmakers and their art. Directors that have achieved acclaim at The Sundance Sundance Film Festival include Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Nolan, Damien Chazelle, Amma Asante for films such as Reservoir Dogs, Four Lions, Whiplash, American Psycho, Man on Wire, Moon, Four Lions and the Usual Suspects. Sundance London 2017 takes place between 1st to 4th June and brings with it a selection of the films and from the bigger sister event that takes place in Park City in Utah in the United States every January. The list below gives a brief lowdown on the films showing at Sundance London 2017 at the AMAZING Picturehouse Central and hopefully, you'll get to see them when they come out on general release. This is another big list of films, similar to our Review of 2016 Let us know what you think! Normal services will resume shortly with our Netflix reviews such as the What We Do In the Shadows Episode. Visit the Flixwatcher Podcast Website and for a list of our recent episodes. If you want to download this episode and/or even better subscribe to Flixwatcher Podcast and share with your friends please find us on iTunes at this link. The links listed below are for the official Twitter Accounts or Wikipedia pages for the films and filmmakers.     Beatriz at Dinner Dir: Miguel Arteta Written for Screen by: Mike White Starring: Salma Hayek, John Lithgow, Chloe Sevigny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSi62GeoKkA Salma Hayek stars as the titular character Beatriz who inadvertently is invited to stay for a dinner party that one of her clients is hosting after car breaks down.  That does sound like a placid setup for a film until you realise that it's the setup for a "head to head" where Beatriz and the main antagonist "Doug Strutt" as played by John Lithgow clash and lock horns time and again. The writer Mike White based the Doug's character on the dentist that shot and killed Cecil the lion back in 2015. Beatriz is an eternal empath and rallies hard against the consciousless Doug who has no trouble sleeping at night despite leaving destitution in his wake. Beatriz at Dinner is a sublime chamber piece that is superbly helmed by Miguel Arteta and brought to life by the flawless casting.   The Big Sick Dir: Michael Showalter Written for Screen by: Emily V Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani Starring: Kumail Nanjiani, Zoe Kazan, Adeel Akhtar, Holly Hunter, Ray Romano https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GX3Regj6nAg   The Big Sick "dramadises" the real life story of Emily V Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani. During their time of courtship Emily falls so ill that she had to be placed into a medically induced coma to help fight the infection and illness. The Big Sick focuses on their story during this difficult time as well as the trials and tribulations between Kumail and his own parents and getting to know and love Emily's parents. These three story threads are excellently played out and endearing. There is a lot of love for the writing of Kumail and Emily and the direction from Michael Showalter works perfectly with them. I cannot think of many comedies that should be longer than 90 minutes long and The Big Sick, with a running time of around two hours, is not one of them. That said it is a fantastic and heartfelt moden rom-com that you should make an effort to see.   Bitch Dir: Marianna Palka Written for Screen by: Marianna Palka Starring: Marianna Palka, Jason Ritter, Jaime King https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZVA2f_jtxQ   When a film starts off with an attempted suicide, as "Bitch" does, you know you're not going to be in for a smooth ride. The suicide attempt made by Marianna Palka's character is a vain attempt to resolve the problems of living with a cheating husband. Her husband, played by Jason Ritter, is so pathetic that he doesn't know where his kids go to school or even know how to start the car to take them there. The suicide is unsuccessful, however, the drastic measures are taken that results in her separation from the family as we know it. What follows is the family coming to terms with the type of loss that has never been committed to screen.     Bushwick Dir: Cary Munion, Jonathon Milott Written for Screen by: Nick Damici, Graham Reznick Starring: Dave Bautista, Brittany Snow, Angelic Zambrana https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ddl6sHa48Zk A girlfriend, Lucy (Brittany Snow) and boyfriend couple arrive in Bushwick, an area of Brooklyn, with the intention of introducing him to her family. As they walk out of the underground and eerie silence is replaced by the sound of gunfire and the guy is soon firebombed. He dies but there is no time for tears as all hell has broken loose and she is soon having to dodge sniper fire and run for safety. Lucy finds assistance in Stupe (Dave Bautista), an ex-marine turned janitor, and they work together to find the scattered pieces of her family in the Bushwick neighbourhood and onto safety. Bushwick is all shot on Steadicam and in as real time as possible, trying to mimic film showing the passage of time in a single take. The concept is great and the film is a fun one with a few sections of improvised dialogue that are cringe inducing, but the fast pace and vicscera almost make that forgiveable!   Chasing Coral Dir: Jeff Orlowski Starring: Richard Vevers, Zack Rago, Chloe Sevigny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5W4PfXCKBPc Chasing Coral depicts the drastic dying out of the coral reefs around the globe. We see over the space of 2 months or less the vibrant coral turning white and then dying out. This is a result of global warming that has caused the sea temperatures to increase by 2-3 degrees. This doesn't sound like much but is enough to cause the coral and the infrastructure they support to die out. The documentary works in three parts, the environmental, technological and the character driven. All three impress and combine into a beautiful tour-de-force that is as impressive as it is depressing... Chasing Coral is coming to Netflix if it isn't there by the time you read this lowdown. Please do try and see this on the big screen if you can. Some of the visuals are eye-popping!     Crown Heights Dir: Matt Ruskin Written for Screen by: Matt Ruskin Starring: Lakeith Stanfield, Nnamdi Asomuhga, Natalie Paul The story behind Crown Heights is a true one and was initially popularised on in a Podcast episode "DIY" of This American Life. Lakeith Stanfield stars as Colin Warner, a man convicted of life imprisonment for a murder he did not commit. The ordeal that he goes through is heinous especially given the amount of evidence in his favour. It follows the story of Colin on "the inside" and his best friend Chris who keeps on rallying for him "on the outside" following setback after knockback after setback. It's great stuff and the story is beyond unfortunate, however, one has to wonder if would have been better served as a documentary. We have to concede that this story will receive a greater audience as a biopic and that can only be a great thing! Dina Dir: Dan Sickles, Antonio Santini Starring: Dina Buno, Scott Levin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrVqMydFvHg The documentary "Dina" follows Dina Buno and her fiance Scott as they prepare for their wedding and their life together. That concept is not typical fare for a documentary until you add the fact that both Dina and Scott both are both on the autistic spectrum and Dina's life has been traumatic including her previous marriage ended in tragedy. The pairing of Scott and Dina is endearing and fraught with intrinsic difficulties. It's clear that they love each other but the way that this manifests physically is often difficult to bear. Scott is whilst being affectionate finds physical contact difficult, whilst Dina, a "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" is forthright, honest and craves physical passion.   A Ghost Story Dir: David Lowery Written for Screen by: David Lowery Starring: Casey Affleck, Rooney Mara, Will Oldham https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxLHP2IpBXw "A Ghost Story" is beautiful, ethereal, thought provoking and haunting (pun intended) film that provoked a lot of discussion after the screening. The setup follows a young couple played by Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara just before he is involved in a fatal car accident. Casey comes back as "Ghost Costume 101" in the form of a sheet with eye-holes cut out after referring to "Pac-man" as a guide for sewing pattern. We then follow the ghost as he is seemingly bound to the house where he used to live and experiences life carrying on around him. A Ghost Story is presented in a square image with a subdued filter, almost as if shot with a bespoke Instagram filter. This presentation when coupled with the sublime score and track "I Get Overwhelmed" by Dark Rooms makes for a film that will nest in your conciousness for a long time after you first watch it.   Icarus Dir: Bryan Fogel Starring: Bryan Fogel   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQNRm6NLTSI&t=60s   The setup for Icarus is a fascinating one. Bryan is an accomplished amateur cyclist who came 14th in the Alpine Haute Route in 2014, which is an amazing accomplishment. Bryan, who had been let down by his cycling hero Lance Armstrong, noted that in spite of the systematic doping program that Lance Armstrong had never failed a drugs test. Fogel set out to prove that it was relatively easy to evade the doping systems by participating in his own program with the intent of exposing the scams and methods to a wider audience. The program that Bryan undergoes is stringent and overseen by the Director of the Russian Anti-Doping Lab, Grigory Rodchenkov. We are initially disappointed that this promising premise is not fully realised, but what it makes way for is a mindblowing crime caper that involves KGB, Putin, The Olympics and death threats and leaves you paranoid as you leave the cinema. Icarus will be available on Netflix later this year and is must - see documentary.   The Incredible Jessica James Dir: Jim Strouse Written for Screen by: Jim Strouse Starring: Jessica Williams, Chris O'Dowd, Lakeith Stanfield, Noel Wells https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFKwg3V85Ng The Incredible Jessica James was written By Jim Strause specifically for Jessica Williams after he had worked with her on previous film projects. In the film, Jessica is a theatre playwright, performer, teacher and lover who is struggling to come to terms with her perception of success is whilst at the same time trying to deal with the break-up of a relationship and the start of a new one. Jessica Williams heads up the cast alongside Chris O'Dowd Lakeith Stanfield and Noel Wells in a film that has been expertly crafted for her. The Incredible Jessica James is endearing without being mawkish and comes sets up Jessica's character as outgoing without ever overstepping the mark. "The Incredible Jessica James" is a hilarious film that with is engaging all the way through.   Marjorie Prime Dir: Michael Almereyda Written for Screen by: Michael Almereyda Starring: Jon Hamm, Geena Davis, Lois Smith, Tim Robbins https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMGm6A7XHjo Marjorie Prime is the film adaptation of a stage play of the same name. In this world a "Prime" is a holographic representation of a real-world person that has previously died. There are a few primes in this film the first being depicted by Jon Hamm who Is employed to keep Marjorie, the titular character, company as she descends into older age and increasing dementia. We've seen similarly themed films such as with "Robot and Frank", "Her" and themes are shown in TV series Black Mirror and represents the move toward the Technical Singularity where people's memories and personality live way beyond the constrains of their physical form. It is evident that Marjorie Prime is based on a stage play in the form that the film takes. This, however, Is the perfect setting for actors of the calibre of Lois Smith, Jon Hamm, Tim Robbins and of course Geena Davies.     Walking Out Dir: Alex Smith and Andrew Smith Written for Screen by: Alex Smith and Andrew Smith Starring: Matt Bomer, Josh Wiggins, Bill Pullman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ic6A6ztJldA A shorthand to understanding the film "Walking Out" would be Refer to it as a more personalised version of The Revenant. In Walking Out we deal with threats from bears and cold weather, But that is where the parallels end. The story of walking out reunites a father and son, Cal and David, who are typically estranged by both distance and life experiences. The "city mouse" son joins his "Country mouse" father shortly after his 14th birthday with the aim of reconnecting and to kill a moose. The story starts with the initial disappointment from Cal's point of view as he sees David's reliance on modern technology turns into pride as his son strives to save them. Walking out is breathtakingly beautiful and benefits from the constraints of limited budget in the way you can see the epic beauty of real landscape and weather that would be staged larger scale films.   Wilson Dir: Craig Johnson Written for Screen by: Daniel Clowes Starring: Woody Harrelson, Laura Dern, Judy Greer   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKHFZumOS94 Wilson is adapted from the graphic novel and depicts Woody Harrelson playing the titular Wilson. We are initially introduced to a lonely but happily cranky Wilson who after a family bereavement seeks to modify life and re-connect with his estranged wife. In this process of reconnecting Wilson learns that he is actually a father and sets out to get to know his daughter and become part of her life. Wilson's grumpy demeanour is as entertaining for the viewer as it is irritating for the other characters in the film but this slowly ebbs away as his good nature breaks through. The episodic nature of the story might have been best suited to a series but this is an enjoyable film non the less!   Ten Meter Tower   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8-Oc_TOPDI   This was shown as a short at Sundance London and here is the full film for you to watch.
