Today I present to you the extraordinarily versatile, even chameleon-like singer and actor Marni Nixon (22 February 1930 – 24 July 2016), who is no doubt best-known today as the so-called “Ghostess with the Mostest.” Born into a musical family in California, she became involved from an early age with the movies, and by a marvelous set of circumstances became The Voice for a number of Hollywood actresses not known for their singing voices. Her skill in matching the vocal and speech characteristics of each of these performers is exceptional, but she was so much more than that. She pioneered the work of many 20th century giants, including Igor Stravinsky, Arnold Schoenberg, Charles Ives, and Anton Webern. She hosted a local Seattle children's television program called Boomerang that netted her four Emmy Awards. She performed on opera stages and concert platforms around the world. She recorded widely, everything from Mary Poppins to Pierrot Lunaire, and in the mid-1970s was the first singer to perform and record Schoenberg's cabaret songs, his so-called Brettl-Lieder, works that are now standard repertoire. Reminiscences of Marni are provided by my good friend Thomas Bagwell, currently a coach and conductor at The Royal Danish Opera in Copenhagen, who was a colleague and good friend of Marni Nixon's for the last 25 years of her life. This episode features a cross-section of this stunning artist's extensive recorded output, recorded over six decades, including repertoire from Webern to Rodgers and Hammerstein. In between we have examples of Nixon's performances of songs by Schoenberg, Stravinsky, Debussy, Ives, Fauré and her former husband Ernest Gold; concert and song repertoire by Villa-Lobos, Boulez, Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Copland, and Gershwin; plus a few outliers, from a live performance of Korngold's Mariettas Lied to the jazzed-up exotica of Buddy Collette's Polynesia to Mr. Magoo's Mother Goose Suite, not to mention a spoonful of Mary Poppins. Overall, “It's a Jolly ‘Oliday with Marni!” Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Stephen Cole is back on StoryBeat for the second time. An award-winning writer of musical theatre, non-fiction books, short stories, and novels, Stephen's work has been recorded, published, and produced worldwide, from New York City to London to the Middle East and Australia. With Matthew Ward he wrote the musicals After The Fair, Merlin's Apprentice, Rock Odyssey, and Casper (which originally starred Chita Rivera), The Night of the Hunter and Saturday Night at Grossinger's (with music by Claibe Richardson), and Dodsworth and Time After Time (with music by Jeff Saver), which has recently been revived at the Children's Theatre of Cincinnati.  In 2005 Stephen and composer David Krane were commissioned to write the first American musical to premiere in the Middle East. The result was Aspire, which was produced in Qatar. Their hilarious cross-cultural experiences resulted in another show titled The Road To Qatar! which has been produced in Dallas, New York and the Edinburgh International Festival (where it was nominated for Best Musical).  His most recent musical, Goin' Hollywood, was produced in 2023 to rave reviews and sold-out audiences in Dallas.Stephen has written continuity, narration, and special material for fifteen different Drama League Shows including all-star tributes to Kander and Ebb, Liza Minnelli, Chita Rivera, Liz Smith, Peter Stone, Angela Lansbury, Patti LuPone, Kristin Chenoweth, Audra McDonald and Neil Patrick Harris.  As an author, Stephen has published That Book About That Girl, I Could Have Sung All Night: the Marni Nixon story (which is currently in development as a feature film), Noel Coward: A Bio Bilbliography, and the Charles Strouse memoir Put On a Happy Face. A prolific short story writer, Stephen's first novel Mary & Ethel…and Mikey Who? was published in January 2024.  I've read Mary & Ethel…and Mikey Who? It's what's you call a real hoot, especially for lovers of old broads on old Broadway. It's the most entertaining time-slipping story I've read since Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five.Stephen is a recipient of a Gilman-Gonzales Falla Commendation for musical theatre as well as the prestigious Edward Kleban Award.  www.stephencolewriter.orghttps://www.facebook.com/steve.cole.5076798 https://www.instagram.com/stephencolewrit

One of my best and truest friends in the business is the phenomenal pianist, coach, and conductor Thomas Bagwell. Our friendship really developed back in the days when we curated a series of recitals for the Lotte Lehmann Foundation, which Thomas also (brilliantly) accompanied. Since then we are both carving out different lives for ourselves on the other side of the pond, me as your intrepid Berlin-based podcaster, and Thomas as a valued coach and conductor on the music staff of the Royal Danish Opera in Copenhagen. Thomas is no doubt remembered by my listeners for his scintillating commentary on my Marni Nixon tribute episode last season. Years ago there was one a peculiar Facebook questionnaire about what would be the last thing you grabbed as you fled your burning home and Thomas answered, “My Bernard Kruysen records.” At that time, I knew the Dutch singer Bernard Kruysen (1933-2000) by name only but I had no clear idea of who he was as an artist. Because of Thomas's enthusiasm, however, I began my own collection of Bernard Kruysen recordings, from which followed this episode, first heard in 2021, so it is only appropriate that Thomas should be reintroducing this episode today. Bernard Kruysen's voice exemplifies that now nearly extinct vocal category, the baryton martin. I discuss just what constitutes a baryton martin and why in his prime Kruysen such was an ideal representative. I also discuss the larger question of the performance of the French art song, the mélodie, and why Kruysen was also exceptional in this regard, using as an example his 1960s recorded performances of three complete song cycles by Claude Debussy, Gabriel Fauré, and Francis Poulenc. I also feature the artist singing art songs by Schumann and Mussorgsky and works by Bach, Quirinus van Blankenburg, and Jan Mul. Thomas's introduction is prefaced with a live recording from those Lotte Lehmann Foundation concerts back in 2011, this one featuring our phenomenal friend, spinto soprano Tami Petty.

Another episode featuring orchestral songs, these arrangements by the French composer Joseph Canteloube AKA Marie-Joseph Canteloube de Malaret (1879 – 1957), of elaborately orchestrated folk songs from the Auvergne region of France. From the 1960s an beyond these songs have become favorites of sopranos seeking engaging works for voice and orchestra. Canteloube made orchestral arrangements of five different series (or books) of songs published between 1924 and 1955. The songs themselves are, in turn, playful, plangent, tragic, saucy, rustic, and even surprisingly emancipated. In 1930 French soprano Madeleine Grey was the first artist to record the songs. Subsequently the Ukrainian-born Israeli soprano Netania Davrath became the first to take on the entire cycle. Cognoscenti still find her versions to be the most “authentic,” although that is a loaded term when one considers how elaborate these arrangements are. Other singers that helped put these songs on the map, as it were, include Anna Moffo, Victoria de los Angeles, Kiri Te Kanawa, and Frederica von Stade. All these singers are heard in this episode, which also includes memorable contributions from singers as varied as Dawn Upshaw, Barbra Streisand, Jill Gomez, Marvis Martin, Gérard Souzay, Marni Nixon, Anna Caterina Antonacci, Elly Ameling, Régine Crespin, Arleen Augér, Susan Reed, and others. You may also be quite surprised (I know I was!) to hear the singer that Canteloube most preferred in this repertoire, in a recording accompanied by the composer himself.

Natalie Wood – en odödlig mix av Hollywoodglamour och hemska konspirationsteorier

Tre Oscarsnomineringar före 25 års ålder. Roller i såväl 'West Side Story', som 'Ung Rebell'. Men det som kommit att överskugga skådespelerskan Natalie Woods liv är hennes dramatiska död. Natalie Wood var en amerikansk superstjärna. Redan som barn inleddes hennes karriär, och på hennes axlar lades pressen att försörja sin familj. Hon lärde sig tidigt att vara alla till lags, och vikten av att alltid se perfekt ut. För att inte riskera att göra någon besviken. Men det var inte den polerade ytan som gjorde Natalie Wood så fascinerande att titta på, utan det var det som man kunde ana låg under den. Somliga har beskrivit det som att det där fanns en dröjande känsla av sorgsenhet, och bräcklighet.I början av 1980-talet hade hennes karriär börjat gå lite knackigare, såsom det då ofta gjorde för kvinnliga skådespelare när de nått 40 års ålder. Och det som närmast kommit att överskugga Natalie Woods liv och karriär, är hennes bortgång. 43 år gammal hittades hon, under en yacht-tur, drunknad. Hennes död bedömdes som en olycka, men många har ifrågasatt den slutsatsen och konspirationsteorierna kring vad som kan ha hänt tycks aldrig ta slut.I veckans Stil funderar vi kring vad det är med denna sorten så kallade true crime-mysterium som kan få människor att närmast viga sina liv åt att utreda sanningen. Vi ringer upp deckarförfattaren och kriminalreportern Tina Frennstedt, för att fråga varför denna typ av mörka gåtor har en förmåga att föranleda årtionden av intrikata spekulationer. I förra veckan släpptes artisten Lana del Reys nionde album och bidrog med skivomslaget till att åter rikta strålkastarljuset mot Natalie Wood. För omslaget är inspirerat av en bild på skådespelerskan, nämligen filmaffischen till This Property is Condemned, på vilken Natalie Wood syns med uppgiven uppsyn. Med författaren och kritikern Kristoffer Leandoer pratar vi om den mytologisering som sångerskan Lana del Rey omgärdar sig med, där referenser till tragiska öden från Hollywoods historia återkommande vävs in.Vi berättar även historien om en kvinna som kallats Hollywoods sämst bevarade hemligt, närmare bestämt spöksångerska Marni Nixon. Det var hon som fick uppdraget att dubba Natalie Woods sång i filmen West Side Story. Något som fick skådespelerskan att lacka ur. Men att bli dubbad var Natalie Wood långt ifrån ensam om. Under den här tiden hade få av de stora skådespelerskornas sångröster, som enligt filmbolagen, höll måttet. Om det berättar Kim Khavar Fahlstedt, filmforskaren vid Stockholms Universitet.Veckans gäst är Louise Wallenberg, professor i modevetenskap och forskare inom mode och film.

She studied with Viennese soprano Vera Schwarz as well as the iconic Lotte Lehmann, and actively performed and recorded for more than 50 years. Her late career saw an extraordinary return to the musical stage, where she starred in both new work and revivals both on and Off-Broadway. Guiding us along the trajectory of her career is my good friend Thomas Bagwell, currently a coach and conductor at The Royal Danish Opera in Copenhagen, who was a colleague and good friend of Marni Nixon's for the last 25 years of her life. His anecdotes and reminscences are interspersed with examples (often familiar, more often rare) of Marni's vast recorded legacy, which give testament not only to her versatility, but to her flawless musicality and depth of expression.

During a flight from Paris the other day, my friend David, who is also the owner of our new label Team Nowhere, listened to the podcast. When he landed, he called me and said, "I have figured out what you are doing with the podcast". Curious, I inquired, “What is it that I am doing?". With his usual wit, he replied, "This is not just an interview, it's a rock n' roll psychoanalysis!". In retrospect, I think he's right. As an interviewer, I'm always interested in the musical journeys of the artists I speak with. However, I'm also curious about our histories as artists because I think there's a link between personal history and art. The way I see it, art is a chemical reaction that is formed by our upbringing, our environments (private and public) as well as the things that happen in the world. By asking my interviewees their personal stories, I try to unearth what led to their art. My experience has shown that it begins even before they are born more often than not. Cosmo Gold traces its lineage back to Emily Gold's grandparents. Her grandmother was singer Marni Nixon, who famously dubbed Natalie Wood's singing parts in West Side Story and Audrey Hepburn's in My Fair Lady. Her grandfather, Ernest Gold, was an Austrian-born composer who won an Academy Award for his work on the movie Exodus. That's quite a musical heritage! In Emily's case, her music is even more closely tied to her dad's, Andrew Gold's. He was not only a talented musician but also a passionate UFOlogist, which, as we'll see, had a significant impact on the music of Cosmo Gold. As well as making music for himself, such as the recently resurrected viral mega-hit "Spooky Scary Skeletons," Andrew Gold has contributed to the hits of others like Linda Ronstadt. Cosmo Gold embraces Andrew's musical freedom and sci-fi appetite. A pop space odyssey, Krong, their debut album, is a concept album about a friendly alien who abducted the band and taught them the secret to a peaceful civilization. The band is grateful to Krong for teaching them the virtue of doubt. In a world of self-confidence, entitlement, and where feelings take the place of facts, it seems wise indeed. Aside from the beautiful message and homage found in Krong, there is also a real sense of musicianship. Krong's arrangements show the band's skill and maestria. Compare the stripped down live version of Krong they taped in our studio with the album version, and you'll see what I mean. Founded in 2019, Cosmo Gold is an LA-based alt-pop band featuring Emily Gold (vocals, guitar, synth, keys), Mike Deluccia (drums, synth, keys, guitar), and Stephen Burns (bass, guitar, vocals).

Queremos dar voz a Marni Nixon, una soprano americana que prestó su voz a estrellas cuya tesitura vocal, no estaba a la altura de lo que demandaba la partitura escrita por el compositor. La lista de actrices famosas ayudadas anónimamente por Marni Nixon, es todo un misterio. Algunas se han conocido con el tiempo, pero a saber de cuántas no nos hemos enterado. Marni Nixon fue contratada por la 20th Century Fox para apoyar a Marilyn Monroe en las notas agudas de “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend” en “Los caballeros las prefieren rubias”. También prestó su voz a Janeth Leigh, Margaret O’Brian, Jeanne Crain, además de Deborah Kerr en “El rey y yo”, Natalie Wood en “West Side Story” o Audrey Hepburn en “My fair lady”, como iremos descubriendo a lo largo del podcast. 00h 00’00” Getting to know you 00h 04’55” Presentación 00h 06’17” Cabecera 00h 07’08” THE KING & I 00h 08’05” Hello, young lovers 00h 11’28” I whistle a happy tune 00h 14’06” Shall I tell you what I think of you 00h 17’41” Shall we dance – con Yul Brynner 00h 22’00” Song of the king – con Yul Brynner 00h 23’28” BOY ON A DOLPHIN y AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER 00h 23’55” Nocturnal sea 00h 28’35” Phaedra finds the boy 00h 34’09” Continue 00h 35’43” Our love affair 00h 37’52” Return to Villafrance 00h 41’37” Tomorrrow land 00h 43’44” WEST SIDE STORY 00h 44’50” A boy like that / I have a love – con Betty Wand 00h 49’11” I feel pretty 00h 52’43” One hand, one heart – con Jimmy Bryant 00h 54’20” Quintet 00h 57’38” Somewhere – con Jimmy Bryant 00h 59’40” Tonight – con Jimmy Bryant 01h 02’59” MY FAIR LADY 01h 03’50” I could have dance tonight 01h 07’41” Just you wait 01h 10’35” Show me – con Jeremy Bretts 01h 12’43” The rain in Spain – con Rex Harrison 01h 14’52” Without you – con Rex Harrison 01h 17’32” Wouldn’t it be loverly? 01h 21’47” SOUTH PACIFIC 01h 22’34” A cockeyed optimist 01h 25’07” Bali Hai 01h 28’28” Happy talk 01h 30’59” KORNGOLD – Die tote stadt – Marietta’s lied 01h 36’24” JACK & THE BEANSTALK - One starry moment – con Gene Kelly 01h 39’09” MARY POPPINS 01h 40’00” A spoonful of sugar 01h 42’03” Feed the birds 01h 43’57” Stay awake 01h 45’49” Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious – con Bill Lee 01h 47’48” MULAN – Honor to us all 01h 50’46” GEORGE GERSHWIN & JEROME KERN 01h 51’33” Someone to watch over me 01h 55’15” Summertime 01h 57’48” The man I love 02h 01’42” All the things you are 02h 05’18” Smoke get in your eyes 02h 07’58” The way you look tonight

Chanson du film "Les hommes préfèrent les blondes" en 1953 avec Marilyn Monroe, mais la voix est celle de Marni Nixon, la doublure vocale des plus grandes stars de la grande époque hollywoodienne. Marilyn Monroe a incarné cette chanson à la perfection mais ce n'était pas la première version du morceau. "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" est née sur scène à Broadway, 4 ans plus tôt, interprété par Carol Channing, avec un clin d'œil à la Marseillaise. En France, les grandes admiratrices de Marilyn Monroe s'appellent Isabelle Adjani, Vanessa Paradis, Sophie Marceau, et Olivia Ruiz qui interprétait cette chanson chaque soir au cours de sa tournée Miss Météores en 2010.

MY FAIR LADY es uno de los musicales clásicos más queridos por el público y no podíamos dejarlo fuera de nuestros podcasts. Para la versión que nos acompañará en el podcast hemos mezclado la del reparto original que la estrenó en Broadway y en Londres con Rex Harrison, Julie Andrews y Stanley Holloway, con algunos cortes del soundtrack de la película supervisada y dirigida por André Previn, aunque variando el orden de los números para mantenerlos tal como se ven en la versión teatral. Rex Harrison es el Profesor Higgins y Julie Andrews es Eliza que por ser entonces casi una debutante, para cuando se llevó al cine el musical, su papel lo interpretó Audrey Hepburn, aunque fue doblada en las canciones por Marni Nixon, cantante fantasma a la que dedicamos este mes un podcast de la serie protagonistas, contando cómo prestó su voz a grandes intérpretes, que se llevaron el mérito de su trabajo. Aunque Rex Harrison está magnífico como Profesor Higgins, de hecho creó el personaje en el escenario con el que ganaría el Tony y el Oscar al mejor actor, he querido rendir homenaje a dos actores excepcionales que se atrevieron a interpretar también el personaje: Jeremy Irons y Jonathan Pryce, adjudicándoles uno de los temas del musical para que escuchéis su forma de decir y cantar las canciones, prácticamente un estilo creado por Rex Harrison, que convenció a los compositores Alan Jay Lerner y Frederick Loewe para hacer una mezcla de recitado/cantado. 00h 00’00” Quisiera yo bailar – Paloma San Basilio 00h 01’45” Presentación 00h 03’45” Cabecera 00h 04’53” Inicio 00h 06’48” Overture 00h 11’28” Why can’t the English? 00h 14’43” Wouldn’t it be loverly? 00h 18’40” The flowermarket 00h 21’04” With a little bit of luck 00h 26’07” I’m an ordinary man – Jonathan Pryce 00h 32’28” Just you wait 00h 36’12” Servant chorus 00h 37’15” The rain in Spain 00h 40’08” I could have dance all night 00h 45’23” Ascott Gavotte 00h 49’29” On the street where you live 00h 53’03” Intermission 00h 55’31” The Transylvanian March 00h 56’46” The Embassy waltz 00h 59’30” You did it 01h 04’44” Just you wait (Reprise) 01h 05’45” On the street where you live (Reprise) 01h 07’25” Show me 01h 09’48” The flowermarket (Reprise) 01h 12’27” Give me to the church on time 01h 19’02” A hymn to him – Jeremy Irons 01h 23’21” Without you 01h 26’02” I’ve grow accustomed to her face 01h 32’34” Finale 01h 34’09” Curiosidades 01h 36’29” Con la suerte de mi lao – Joan Crosas 01h 39’00” La calle donde vive mi amor – Victor Díaz 01h 43’09” Say a prayer for me tonight - June Allison 01h 46’32” Exit music

Matthew looks back on the career and recordings of soprano Marni Nixon, a "ghost singer" who provided the vocals for several leading actresses often without audiences being aware. With the release this week of Steven Spielberg's new version of 'West Side Story', Matthew considers the 1961 film in which Nixon provided the singing voice of Natalie Wood, without receiving a credit. She was also the singing voice of Deborah Kerr in 'The King and I' and 'An Affair to Remember', and of Audrey Hepburn in 'My Fair Lady'. And she filled in a few of Marilyn Monroe's notes on 'Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend' from 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes'. Although she was well known on the concert stage as a soprano, and even recorded works of Stravinsky conducted by the composer himself, she was largely unknown as a singer in films, and it was not until more recently that she was finally credited for her soundtrack recordings.

The Margos are kickin' it with “Musicals in March” and for this episode, we decided to use one of the most adapted Shakespeare tales (which is really saying something!) and match it with one of the most ambitious films of the early 1960s.  William Shakespeare uses poetry, metaphors, comedy, tragedy, and a story about doomed young lovers which has entranced (or annoyed) audiences and high school students who had “Romeo & Juliet” on their reading curriculum for decades now. Originally published in the 1590s, there have been several direct adaptations for stage and screen.  Romeo & Juliet are teens in love who are thwarted by the prejudice of their feuding clans and are a symbol for starcrossed lovers who are fated to be together. It's not the feel-good hit of the summer--but it is beautiful and it's hard not to feel something when ultimately their love has them make desperate choices (spoiler!) In the 1950s, Arthur Laurents wrote the book for the musical West Side Story which had Jermone Robbins create the choreography and the music in part by future songwriting superstar Stephen Sondheim. It became a smash on Broadway in 1957 and there have been several revivals since. Oh, and Leonard Bernstein's score is one of his best.  The setting is now in late 1950s New York City where two different gangs The Jets (who are caucasian) and The Sharks (who are Puerto Rican) fight over their “turf.” Former Jet Tony falls in love with Maria whose brother is the leader of The Sharks. The movie stars Natalie Wood, Richard Beymer, and Rita Moreno.

It's a story we've been telling for centuries, in spite of the damage it's caused. The story of the sculptor Pygmalion and his statue Galatea crops up everywhere from Broadway musicals to glam rock records to computer programming. In the fourth episode of Ghost Echoes, we take inventory of Galateas. Music and Sound Notes: -- “In Every Dream Home a Heartache” can obviously be found on Roxy Music's For Your Pleasure. -- The recording of the doll song from Offenbach's Tales of Hoffmann is performed by Joan Sutherland with Richard Bonynge conducting l'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande. -- The excerpts from the My Fair Lady film soundtrack are “Wouldn't it be Loverly” performed by Marni Nixon and “I've Grown Accustomed to her Face” performed by Rex Harrison. -- Kate Bush's “Misty” is on her album 50 Words for Snow. Further reading, listening, etc.: -- Ovid's Metamorphoses has been translated into English by many, including A.D. Melville. Information on Project Borghild and sex dolls generally came from Anthony Ferguson's The Sex Doll: A History and “A (Straight, Male) History of Sex Dolls” by Julie Beck in the Atlantic. On Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, Charles A. Berst's Pygmalion: Shaw's Spin on Myth and Cinderella was useful, as were this story from Studio 360 and Bernard Shaw's own preface and postscript to the play. Here's “The Sandman” by E.T.A. Hoffmann. Examples of conversation with ELIZA came from this piece by Oliver Miller in Thought Catalogue. -- The marching band audio in the Project Borghild scene comes from this archival video. All excerpts from Pygmalion are from the 1938 film version starring Wendy Hiller and Leslie Howard. The montage towards the end features clips from Her, Ex Machina, Battlestar Galactica, Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049.

Gary and Roscoe return once more to the friendly confines of Steppenwolf Theatre to chat with two of the creative geniuses behind a terrific new play, Byhalia, Mississippi, now getting a remounted production through August 21st at the 1700 Theatre, under the auspices of Steppenwolf's Visiting Company Initiative. Playwright Evan Linder and Director Tyrone Phillips share their thoughts on the creative process of crafting a play, working organically with actors and designers, growing up in the South, their first experiences in the theatre, and the themes addressed in Byhalia, Mississippi. Evan is a founding member and the Co-Artistic Director of The New Colony theatre company. He works as a playwright, actor and director and teaches playwriting at the University of Chicago. Evan grew up in Memphis, TN, just a few miles up the road from Byhalia, and is a graduate of the College of Charleston in South Carolina.  Other works include 11:11, Frat, The Warriors, B-Side Studio and 5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche, which was named Best Overall Production at the 2012 NYC International Fringe Festival, and enjoyed an off-Broadway run as part of Soho Playhouse's 2012-13 season. Tyrone is the founding Artistic Director of Definition Theatre Company and has served on the artistic staff of Writers Theatre. Named by Chris Jones of the Chicago Tribune as one of the "Hot New Faces of 2015", Tyrone is a graduate of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. In addition to his rising acclaim as a director, he is an accomplished actor, with credits from Definition, Steppenwolf, Windy City Playhouse, Prologue Theatre Company and Milwaukee Repertory Theatre. Byhalia, Mississippi is a play about forgiveness, acceptance, love and the very core ideas of family. Jim and Laurel Parker are about to become new parents. They are broke. They are loud. They are "proud white trash." When Laurel gives birth to their long overdue child, she and Jim are faced with the biggest challenges of their lives. Byhalia, Mississippi explores a couple in the midst of turmoil and a town with a racially-charged past that finds its way into the present. Gary calls it the "finest new play he's seen in a very long time." Right up there with Stephen Karam's The Humans. Tyrone refers to it as "a future classic." All agree that this play will find a wider audience and that many productions across the country are in the offing. Listeners, please keep your eyes peeled for a new production happening near you. This is one theatrical experience you won't want to miss. Kiss of Death: Marni Nixon, Hollywood's leading "Ghost Singer" in the 1950s and 60s. It's her crystalline soprano that pours from the mouths of Deborah Kerr in The King and I, Natalie Wood in West Side Story and Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady, among dozens of others. Because Hollywood didn't want audiences to know its stars couldn't sing, Nixon's contributions went uncredited. For singing the part of Anna in the film and recording of The King and I, she received a total of $420! Ms. Nixon, who continued singing into her 80s, eventually came to regard her heard-but-not-seen life with affection, touring the country in her one-woman show "Marni Nixon: The Voice of Hollywood", and writing a memoir in 2006 titled "I Could Have Sung All Night." Ghost singers, once a Hollywood mainstay, have now, for the most part, become ghosts themselves. Marni Nixon, one of Hollywood's unseen stars, was 86. Read full Bio here

Matthew Bannister on Thomas Sutherland the Scottish-born American professor who was held hostage for more than six years in Lebanon. We hear from his fellow hostage Terry Anderson. The singer, songwriter and producer Gary S Paxton. He brought us the Monster Mash and thousands of other songs and lived up to his nickname "His Weirdness" Sally Beauman, who was given a reported million pound advance for her best selling novel Destiny, but transcended the bonk buster genre. Frank Dickens, the cartoonist who satirised office life in the Bristow comic strip and often liked to strip naked himself. And Marni Nixon, whose singing voice was dubbed over Hollywood movie stars when they couldn't hit the high notes. Producer: Paul Waters.
