Oggi ti parlerò di un film THE STING. La Stangata; è un film del 1973, diretto da George Roy Hill,   con Paul Newman e Robert Redford, vincitore di 7 premi Oscar tra cui quello al miglior film. Secondo film in cui Paul Newman e Robert Redford recitano insieme, è anche la seconda volta che vengono diretti da George Roy Hill e sempre portando ottimi incassi (il film precedente era stato Butch Cassidy, del 1969). Questo film si rivelò un grande successo sia grazie al cast ricco di attori e di caratteristi talentuosi come Charles Durning, sia grazie al regista che, con una commedia ricca di colpi di scena e abili incastri narrativi, riuscì a vincere sette premi Oscar, sia grazie alla colonna sonora, costituita da una serie di celebri ragtime rielaborati da Marvin Hamlisch. Con la partecipazione di: Lucia Pareti (Curiosità), Fernanda Cherubini (Cast), Giulio Tiezzi (Critica), Marco Pieroni (Trama), Mariangela Ungaro (Musiche), Bruna Iacopino (Copertine).

We sat down with Director Todd Brooks,  Stage Manager Krista Freimuth, and Actor Adam Fulbright to talk about Chanticleer's upcoming production "A Chorus Line."  This is a cohesive cast who are working hard but having the time of their lives, which of course, is everything community theatre should be.  This is going to be a fun production, with a live orchestra, much dancing and singing with all the classic "A Chorus Line" tunes and dance moves! Though "A Chorus LIne" was also adapted into a popular movie in 1985, for most people the story is best told on stage. The original musical was written in 1975 by Marvin Hamlisch, with lyrics by Edward Kleban, and directed by Michael Bennett.  It won many Tony Awards, a Drama Desk Award, a Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and in 1984 won a Tony for longest running musical on Broadway.  (It is currently the 7th longest running musical to date).  The "Book" (librettists of the spoken, non-sung dialogue, and storyline of a musical play) was written by James Kirkwood, Jr. and Nicholas Dante. The story is based on true stories and is set on the stage of a Broadway theater, and centered on seventeen Broadway dancers auditioning for roles on a chorus line. "A Chorus Line" runs May 9-12th and 16-19th at Chanticleer Community Theatre at PACE.  This is a great opportunity to see this prize winning musical!  CHANTICLEER at PACE / CONTACT INFO:  Website:  https://www.paceartsiowa.org/theater/chanticleer-community-theater Ticket Link: https://www.showpass.com/a-chorus-line-4/ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/chanticleertheater  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paceartsia/?hl=en  Twitter: https://twitter.com/PACEartsiowa  Chanticleer Community Theatre / Pace Arts Iowa 1001 S 6th Street, Council Bluffs, IA HOW TO LISTEN TO THE PLATTE RIVER BARD PODCAST: Listen at https://platteriverbard.podbean.com or anywhere you get your podcasts.

Ninety-eight-year-old Songwriters Hall of Famer Alan Bergman chats with us about a wide-ranging career that started with Johnny Mercer and continues to today. PART ONEPaul and Scott talk about the Abba Voyage virtual concert and scare themselves with the possibilities of digital technology. PART TWOOur in-depth interview with Alan BergmanABOUT ALAN BERGMANAlan Bergman and his late wife Marilyn joined forces professionally in the 1950s to create one of the most successful songwriting teams of all time. Though both musicians, the pair are best known as lyricists, and they found particular success writing for the silver screen. The Bergmans earned eleven Grammy nominations, including four nominations for Song of Year. They won the Song of the Year honor for “The Way We Were” from the Barbra Streisand film of the same name. They received fifteen Academy Award nominations for Best Original Song, winning twice for “The Windmills of Your Mind” and “The Way We Were,” and earning a record-setting three nominations in a single year in 1982. The following year they won their third Oscar, for Best Original Song Score, for the Yentl soundtrack, which included Best Original Song nominees “Papa, Can You Hear Me” and “The Way He Makes Me Feel.” Other highlights from the Bergman catalog include “Nice ‘n Easy” performed by Frank Sinatra, “The Summer Knows,” recorded by Sarah Vaughn, “You Don't Bring Me Flowers,” which they wrote with Neil Diamond, “Someone in the Dark,” which Michael Jackson recorded for the E.T. soundtrack, and “I Knew I Loved You,” which was recorded by Celine Dion. Additionally, the four-time Emmy award winners were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and were recipients of the National Music Publishers Association Lifetime Achievement Award. The Bergmans held a number of executive positions in various organizations, including serving on the executive committee of the Music Branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and as board members of the National Academy of Songwriters. From 1994-2009 Marilyn served as the president of ASCAP. Their songs have been recorded by Fred Astaire, Johnny Mathis, Sergio Mendes, Ray Charles, Bing Crosby, Stan Getz, Dusty Springfield, Diana Ross, Gladys Knight, Glen Campbell, Sting, Natalie Cole, Tony Bennett, Norah Jones, and countless others. We're thrilled to share this conversation with the now 98-year-old Alan Bergman, recorded at his home back in August.

Kermit the Frog's film debut brought Oscar winner Paul Williams his final Oscar nomination, writing the classic song "The Rainbow Connection" with Kenny Ascher. Host Jeff Commings shares Williams' thoughts about the meaning of the wistful lyrics and why Paul Williams was not able to continue his work in the 1980s. Other Oscar winners in contention for the 1979 Original Song Oscar were Henry Mancini and Marvin Hamlisch, both supplying sentimental love ballads that didn't hold a candle to another popular movie song that was ineligible for the award, thanks to the songwriter's honesty.

SERIES 2 EPISODE 52: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: It is nearly impossible to be shocked by anything bubbling up in Jack Smith's prosecutions of Donald Trump, and yet Smith has pulled it off. He has promised the court that during the trial of the United States vs. Trump for the stolen documents and secrets: "Why it occurred, what Trump knew, and what Trump intended in retaining them – all issues that the Government will prove at trial, primarily with unclassified evidence." It's a stunning guarantee, buried deep in Smith's filing, answering why Trump should to get his wish to delay the trial until after the election. And he tantalizes us: because nothing else in the motion even REFERS to it, let alone explains it. But it does dovetail with the latest grim details from Israel - and the awful echoes from Washington.Senator Josh Hawley, Republican of Missouri, has now demanded that American aide to Ukraine be CUT OFF and sent instead to Israel, as if there were a reason for such a false either/or choice, and apparently unaware that people can see that his own performance and that of the rest of the Republican anti-Ukraine caucus is not in support of Israel but actually in support of Hamas and Iran. Twice in the last year the Kremlin invited Hamas to send delegations to Moscow and the terrorist group's leadership met with Putin's foreign minister Sergei Lavrov in September 2022 and this past March. There is considerable analysis being done in Europe that the Russians encouraged – even bribed – Hamas, to undertake the full-scale attack that began from the Gaza Strip on Saturday and continues even at this hour. The Russians, this analysis reasons, wanted this because they are Iran's leading ally and because a Middle East conflict of almost any size would amount to a second front, in which Western resources being dedicated to fighting the Russian invasion of Ukraine, might be re-directed TO Israel. In other words, Josh Hawley is doing exactly what the Russians want: degrading western support for Ukraine on the false excuse that the money must go instead to defend Israel. THAT would just give Russia a freer hand in Ukraine, and more money and materiel, to send to Hamas, to DEFEAT Israel, as Iran wants. It MUST not be forgotten, especially not at this hour, that on May 10th, 2017, in the Oval Office, Trump disclosed classified intelligence – classified intelligence obtained by the Israelis – about an ISIS plot the Israelis unraveled in a town in Syria. Trump gave the information, directly, to Putin's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. The same man who twice met with the Hamas delegations in Moscow. PLUS: not only confirmation that Egypt warned Israel about an attack from Gaza, but a reason to suspect that somebody in the Netanyahu government has thrown the defense services under the bus to protect the troubled Prime Minister. B-Block (26:12) IN SPORTS: Steve Garvey? Running for Senator? The baseball hero whose political career died in 1988 when he became "The Father Of Our Country"? His old team underscores baseball's playoff crisis. Hockey dives further into homophobia. And one of that game's best ambassadors has to quit to attend to his own health. (39:07) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Has-been Aaron Rodgers says nasty things about Taylor Swift's boyfriend who they still pay to make commercials, there's a 1/6 defendant worried about "chest-feeding" and the Murdoch empire inadvertently reveals that if the Democrats were to switch candidates, there's one alternate choice with all the name recognition in the world. C-Block (45:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: The words were spoken by the best Communications professor I ever had, 44 or 45 years ago. And every week since - and literally yesterday - it's been ignored. "Whatever you do: DON'T SAY THIS."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Book Vs. Movie: The SwimmerThe 1964 John Cheever story vs. the 1968 Burt Lancaster FilmBurt Lancaster always claimed that his 1968 film The Swimmer was his best work, and we are here to show you exactly why! The John Cheever short story that appeared in the July 18, 1964 issue of The New Yorker is a surrealistic tale of an alcoholic man (Neddy Merrill) who journeys to his home through suburban New York via swimming pools. Along the way, he realizes that the life he thinks he is leading (high status with a beautiful family) is actually in shambles, and he is, in fact, alone and broke. The 1968 film is a masterclass of acting and direction, which is ironic considering the shoot was chaotic, with the firing of several actors and the director, Frank Perry, during the shoot. With a 24-year-old Marvin Hamlisch soundtrack, cameos from Joan Rivers and Janet Landgard, and Lancaster in a blue swimsuit showing off his 52-year-old body--the film was not well-received at the time by the press or at the box office. Since then, it has gained a cult following with a look at what small-budgeted movies coming soon in the 1970s. What are the main differences between the short story and the film? Which version did the Margos like better? Have a listen!In this ep, the Margos discuss:John Cheever's writing career and aestheticThe troubled production of the filmThe cast of the 1968 film: Burt Lancaster (Ned Merrill,) Janet Landgard (Julie Ann Hooper,) Janice Rule (Shirley Abbott,) Joan Rivers (Joan,) Kim Hunter (Betty,) Tony Bickley (Donald,) Marge Champion (Peggy,) Bill Fiore (Howie,) Rose Gregio (Sylvia,) Charles Drake (Howard Graham,) Diana Muldaur (Cynthia,) and Dolph Sweet as Henry Biswanger.Clips used:“That's my wagon” opening sceneThe Swimmer (1968 trailer)Neddie opening sceneJulie and NedJoan Rivers!!!Ned and his mistressNed at the public parkMusic by Marvin HamlischBook Vs.

La Órbita de Endor analiza esta vez un clásico sensacional que cumple medio siglo de existencia, nada menos que EL GOLPE (The Sting – 1973) película mítica de timos y robos donde dos impresionantes Robert Redford y Paul Newman se metían en un proyecto de estafa de altos vuelos y preparaban, junto a un equipo de truhanes profesionales del fraude, el último gran estacazo de sus vidas. Con George Roy Hill a la dirección, que ya había juntado a la pareja protagonista en Dos Hombres y un Destino, y con una banda sonora inolvidable e histórica a manos de Marvin Hamlisch, El Golpe es una de esas películas que se deben ver alguna vez en la vida y, a partir de ahí, visionarla cada cierto tiempo. Hoy, los bribones tramposos que te harán el lío son el Coronel Kurz y Antonio Runa. Cuidado con tu cartera.

Created and hosted by Cavan Hendron, The Bradshaw Effect breaks down and discusses how the ideal Carrie Bradshaw lifestyle from Sex and the City isn't always the reality of living in the concrete jungle of New York City. In this episode, Cavan sits down with the incredible Patrick O'Neill to discuss his journey and career in the Broadway/theatre industry, the power of reaching out, and his advice for those continuing to brave the business. About Patrick: Patrick was last represented on Broadway as the Associate Choreographer of Andrew Lloyd Webber's hit musical School of Rock, which he also staged in Sydney, Melbourne, and Seoul. He currently serves as the Associate Choreographer on the Broadway-bound musical The Heart of Rock and Roll, celebrating the music of Huey Lewis, and on Ever After, a musical adaptation of the 1998 film. As a director, he is currently developing and co-writing Vacancy, a story that sheds light on the life of Norman Bates from Alfred Hitchcock's ‘Psycho' and the new American play ‘Life, Liberty' starring Anupam Kher. He serves as the choreographer of Radio 930, a new musical centered around a group of young rebels in East Germany who used banned western rock music to bring about the fall of the Berlin Wall. In 2022, he will direct the London premiere of On The Edge, a new musical from composer Sam Hall. As an Assistant Choreographer, he developed Barry Manilow's Harmony for Center Theatre Group in Los Angeles and The Alliance Theatre in Atlanta, The Nutty Professor with Jerry Lewis and Marvin Hamlisch, and the Broadway revival of On A Clear Day You Can See Forever starring Harry Connick, Jr and Jessie Mueller. He has staged concerts for Tony Award winner Kelli O'Hara with the Boston Pops and for Mario Cantone on ABC's “The View” celebrating Barbara Walters and opening the show's 14th Season. As a teacher, he has served on staff for Britney Spears' and Usher's performing arts intensives. Keep Up With Patrick! Website:⁠ https://patrickoneill.me/

For those of you who didn't read the title, this is the second episode of the trilogy!!  I almost wrote thrillogy, which would've been a typo but this episode is a thrill ride of sorts.  Not only do we look deeper into the world of John Cage and the "70s version" of the TV Show Match Game but we hear songs from Univac that were heretofore unheard of, except at the time of the recording.  But almost immediately after that it was like they never existed.  It should be noted, John Cage was never on Match Game but Marvin Hamlisch was, so we'll call it even.547 DaysWelcome to 547 Days, the podcast that gives you an inside look at two musicians...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showhunchbunny.com

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Tom Santopietro, Author, “The Way We Were: The Making of a Romantic Classic” About Harvey's guest: Today's guest, Tom Santopietro, is a popular and highly respected author whose books about the entertainment world are as insightful, entertaining and compelling as the iconic superstars and movies he writes about.    He's written 7 bestselling books, “The Sound of Music Story”, “The Godfather Effect: Changing Hollywood, America and Me”, “The Importance of Being Barbra”, and “Barbara Cook: Then and Now”.   The 1st time he came on our show, we discussed his book, “Considering Doris Day”, which is a must-read for every fan of this beloved and in some ways, hugely underrated, actress and singer.   In his 2nd appearance, we discussed his monumentally important book, “Why To Kill a Mockingbird Still Matters”.  If you haven't yet read that book, I highly recommend it, for its brilliant analysis of racism in America, in the context of one of the greatest novels – and movies – of all time.    When our guest last appeared on our show, we discussed his wonderful book “Sinatra In Hollywood”, shining a well-deserved light on Frank Sinatra's screen legacy, which has often been overshadowed by his extraordinary achievements as a singer and recording artist.    And now, our guest is back to discuss his latest book, “The Way We Were: The Making of a Romantic Classic”.  The book commemorates the 50th anniversary of the iconic 1973 movie starring Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford, as the quintessential mismatched lovers who were political and emotional opposites, but whom we were all desperately rooting for.  The movie broke box office records worldwide and earned a slew of nominations and awards including 6 Academy Award nominations and 2 Golden Globe nominations.  Barbra Streisand got Oscar and Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations for Best Actress, and she won 2 prestigious international Best Actress Awards.  The movie ranks at number 6 on the American Film Institute's list of the top 100 love stories in the history of American cinema.  And the music from the movie has been as highly acclaimed as the film itself, winning 2 Oscars for Marvin Hamlisch - one for Best Original Dramatic Score, and one, along with Marilyn and Alan Bergman, for Best Original Song – for which they also won a Golden Globe Award.   The original soundtrack recording won a Grammy Award, and that amazing, timeless, classic song, “The Way We Were”, sung so beautifully by Barbra Streisand, not only won the 1974 Grammy Award for song of the year – the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998, and it ranks as number 8 on the American Film Institute's list of the top 100 songs in American movies.   And if that weren't enough, the song is included on the list of “Songs of the Century” compiled by the Recording Industry Association of America, and the National Endowment for the Arts.    Our guest's  wonderful, exquisitely written book provides the definitive inside story behind the making of a movie which is widely considered to be the most beloved romantic drama of the last 50 years. For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com/ http://www.tomsantopietro.com/https://www.facebook.com/tomsantopietrohttps://www.twitter.com/tomsantopietro#TomSantopietro   #harveybrownstoneinterviews

Lesley Sue Goldstein was born in Brooklyn in 1946 but grew up in Tenafly, NJ. She was a junior in high school when she was discovered by legendary producer Quincy Jones, who produced her 1963 hit "It's My Party" – a song which has achieved legendary status in the classic rock cannon. It remained at the top of the charts for two weeks and prompted Gore to record the Top 10 answer song "Judy's Turn to Cry". Her next two singles – "She's a Fool" and 1964's most empowering feminist anthem "You Don't Own Me" – were also Top 10 hits. Additional Gore hits included "Maybe I Know," “That's the Way Boys Are” and Marvin Hamlisch's first hit composition "Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows." After conquering the music charts, Gore branched out and began acting. Her film appearances included “Ski Party” and “Girls on the Beach” as well a performance in the concert film “The T.A.M.I. Show.” Her most notable acting role was that of ‘Pussycat' – Catwoman's sidekick on the 1960s Batman television series – where she introduced the single “California Nights.” In spite of her unrivaled recording and acting success while still a teenager, Gore refused to give up her education at Sarah Lawrence College. During most of the 1970s she remained out of the spotlight; but in 1980 Gore resurfaced when "Out Here On My Own," a song she co-wrote with her brother Michael for the film “Fame”, was nominated for an Oscar as Best Original Song. Throughout this period Gore continued to act on stage and on television. Her life story also inspired the 1996 movie “Grace of My Heart” in which a 1960s bubble-gum singer is shown to be a closeted lesbian. She released her final album in 2005 and came out publicly the same year. Gore also hosted several episodes of the LGBT newsmagazine series “In the Life” on PBS. She died of lung cancer on February 16, 2015 at the age of 68 and was survived by jewelry designer Lois Sasson, her partner of 33 years. Though she achieved only minimal financial success from her recording career, Leslie Gore remains one of the most iconic women in the early history of Rock ‘n' Roll.

Concerts and cruise ships have offered her opportunities and she was thrilled to be one of 5 soloists in a Steven Sondheim Tribute with The Seattle Symphony conducted by Marvin Hamlisch! She is so darn cool - Carol Swarbrick! There is a film I want to tell you about. “Miss Lillian: More Than A President's Mother,” tells the inspiring story of Lillian Carter, the matriarch of the storied Carter family of Plains, Georgia, and mother to United States President Jimmy Carter. The film centers around rare interviews with historical figures of the Carter era, including former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, the late Los Angeles Dodger legend Tommy Lasorda, longtime ABC White House correspondent Sam Donaldson, and of course her son, Jimmy. Miss Lillian is portrayed in the film by actress Carol Swarbrick. In candid moments, President Carter reflects on his remarkable mother, who passed her deeply held humanitarian values on to each of her children. She lived a life of service, and worked for equality and respect, ultimately impacting a nation through her influence on Jimmy.

The worlds of music, art and science can symbiotically exist and share center stage together to offer a sense of awe, wonder and inspiration about moons of the solar system, and ultimately about our home planet. Award winning composer and pianist Amanda Lee Falkenberg has created THE MOONS SYMPHONY- a project 5-years in the making, consulting with planetary scientists from NASA's JPL to ensure the science was anchored in scientific accuracy. Listen to hear not only the most beautiful and incredible music, but to hear directly from Amanda how science influenced each of the moons within the symphony.  THE MOONS SYMPHONY Album is available here: https://lnk.to/TheMoonsSymphony Enjoy learning more about Amanda's journey in creating this masterpiece here: https://www.moons-symphony.com/blog About Amanda Lee Falkenberg: International award-winning composer and pianist Australian born Amanda Lee Falkenberg began her journey into composition through years spent in ballet studios as an accompanist, including the Australian Ballet company in 2000. She wrote over 120 pieces to accompany ballet dancers as they trained, which led to her Moving With Music album series.  In 2003 her first full-length orchestral ballet was commissioned, Edge of the World, and performed by the International Barossa Music Festival Orchestra with the prestigious Leigh Warren and Dancers, which received glowing reviews from the national press.  Inspired by visual imagery, Falkenberg's natural progression led her to write for film and TV, stage plays, documentaries, animation series and feature films, including her cinematic soundtrack to the screen adaption of Wilfred Thesiger's Arabian Sands. In 2017, she conducted the world premiere of her orchestral suite Sea Trilogy with the London Film Music Orchestra at their Gala Concert. Later that year, she completed her Arabian inspired concerto for piano and orchestra, Crossing of the Crescent Moon, after which she began her next large scale project, THE MOONS SYMPHONY.  Described by The Beauty of Space Art Authors Jon Ramer and Ron Miller as "…one of the most extraordinary achievements in space-inspired music, and perhaps the first to be accomplished in direct collaboration with astronomers and scientists", Falkenberg has presented the work and its scientific inspiration to global audiences including the NASA/JPL, Caltech, the Planetary Society of Los Angeles live radio show in Imperial College London 2022, the London Science Museum, COP26 in Glasgow, 2021, the Dubai Expo in 2021, the Euro Planet Science Congress EPSC in Geneva, 2019, and the TEDx Youth Conference, 2018.  Falkenberg has received many nominations and won multiple international contests, including the Great American Song Contest, Marvin Hamlisch emerging film composer contest in New York, the International Composition Competition in Italy, Hollywood Music in Media Awards (HMMA), and the Los Angeles Music Awards.  ​Falkenberg is an artist member of the International Association of Astronomical Artists (IAAA) who organized an elaborate multimedia/visual art project in in coordination with THE MOONS SYMPHONY" More about the MOONS SYMPHONY's PERFORMANCES: 

WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA?"CHAMELEON"  by Maynard Ferguson (Columbia, 1974)I admit that I'm woefully unequipped to discuss Big Band music, or any Jazz for that matter, in great detail. Although, throughout my life I've developed a passion for the odd jazz master here and there, and as a matter of personal pride I've always strived to be conversant in the subject, at the very least. However, the trumpeter Maynard Ferguson was a blank slate for me. So, when combing through my 8 tracks and I stumbled upon this cart, I decided to give it a spin. This record depicts big band music at that cusp of time when it was struggling for relevance. Doc Severinson, Johnny Carson's band leader, (another trumpet player), played what seemed comically bloated and old fashioned - my parent's music. Maynard Ferguson was Doc's contemporary who played with him in Charlie Barnet's band in the late 40's, and he carried the big band flag all the way to his death in 2006 at the age of 78. When he made Chameleon in '74 he was 46 - still vital and searching for a key to the mystic highway. The covers of Paul McCartney's Jet, the titular funk track by Herbie Hancock, and the sprawling Livin' for the City by Stevie Wonder all testify to this cool Quebecois's questing versatility. And it's good stuff - lustily orchestrated and delivered. As his obit in the Washington Post described Mr. Ferguson's high register wailing: he was: “…. A gladiator, a combat soldier, a prize fighter, a circus strongman…” Now here's where the story gets weird and interesting for me: In 1963, Maynard brought his family to live with Timothy Leary and Ram Dass at their compound in Hitchcock Estates and lived there for three years, recording and taking psychedelics. Then, he went to India and taught Krishnamurti at the Rishi Valley School. And, he always attributed his ability to hit and sustain those high notes from his Yogic breath control. This turned my perception of this artist's output on its head.

This week was another sick celebration of the American way. And all week Michael has been haunted by this unanswered question — What is the number? Columbine wasn't enough… Sandy Hook wasn't enough… Parkland wasn't enough… Will Robb Elementary be enough? How many dead children before America will rise up and scream “THAT'S IT! THAT IS ENOUGH”? On this episode of Rumble, Michael shares the brutal, honest truth — we are a violent, armed country, founded in genocide and built on the backs of slaves. But as history shows us, if we can face who we are, we can become the country, and the people, we want to be. ************* Music in today's episode: “Emily Dickenson” — by Marvin Hamlisch (from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack “Sophie's Choice”) ************* Podcast Underwriters: 1) Anchor.fm can help you start your own podcast.

Born and raised in Queens, NY, Michael is a graduate of the prestigious Archbishop Molloy High School and the renowned music conservatory. The Manhattan School of Music. Upon graduation from The Manhattan School in 1971, he pursued a career as a professional performing musician spanning the next 35 years. While still in Manhattan, Michael started his professional playing career by being a frequent substitute drummer/percussionist at the long-running off-Broadway production of Jacques Brel Is Alive & Well & Living in Paris. Besides touring in the early 70s with Broadway National tours of Promises, Promises, Applause, and The Magic Show, Michael was also in bands backing Sally Kellerman, Dionne Warwick, The 5th Dimension, and Jane Olivor. Being hired as the original drummer for They're Playing Our Song on Broadway led to the beginning of his long and rewarding working & personal relationship with Marvin Hamlisch. With Marvin's complete & trusting support, Michael embarked on a second related career as a Music Coordinator beginning in 1992. In 1993 he was Music Coordinator and drummer for Marvin's The Goodbye Girl. From 1990 until 2005, Michael was conductor and drummer for all of Marvin's concert appearances. In addition to contracting many films and TV score recordings of Marvin's music, Michael was given his greatest opportunity when Marvin entrusted him to hire and coordinate the 63-piece orchestra for the Barbra Streisand concert tour in 1994. Michael repeated that effort several times over the next 15-20 years. Upon closing the Broadway production of Imaginary Friends featuring Marvin's music, Michael chose to put away his drumsticks and concentrate solely on his burgeoning career as a Music Coordinator.  Among over a hundred Broadway productions coordinated by Michael since 1993 are Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, The Book of Mormon, Wicked, and The Lion King. Michael's life is complete with his wife of 40 years, Actress/Dancer/Choreographer Pamela Sousa, son Zachary, daughter Alexis, daughter-in-law Christin, and grandson Gavin Michael.For more: https://www.m2music.nyc/about-usThank you for reading Broadway Drumming 101.

This week's film has been seared into the collective moviegoing memory based on a single, powerful, heartbreaking scene. And yet that scene is meant solely as the culmination of what is, in all honesty, a soap opera romance. In fact, if it weren't for some incredible acting, this movie would be pure pulp trash because it actively avoids the point at all turns. It's strange, too, because a few simple structural changes would make this story into a near masterpiece, tying together the trauma of the past with the tragedy of the present. But instead we're left with an incredibly well-acted mess, and a handful of incredibly powerful moments that don't add up to a full story.
