Vamos a viajar al pasado para subir en el Siglo XX, que es el nombre de un ferrocarril de lujo que a principios del siglo pasado recorría la distancia entre Chicago y New York y lo haremos con un musical titulado “On the 20th Century” escrito por Cy Coleman, del que ya hemos visto en otros programas “Sweet Charity” o “City of angels”. El libreto y letras son de Betty Comden y Adolph Green autores de musicales como “Cantando bajo la lluvia”, “Un día en Nueva York” o “Suena el teléfono” (Bells are ringing”). El musical se basa en la divertida obra de teatro del mismo título de Ben Hecht y Charles MacArthur en la que incluyeron parte de otra obra de teatro que no llegó a publicarse de Charles Bruce Millholland titulada “The Napoleon of Broadway”, en la que se plasmaba parte de la relación de trabajo de Millholland con David Belasco, director y productor teatral que construyó el hoy famoso Belasco Theatre de Broadway. Con semejante equipo la diversión está garantizada. La versión que vamos a escuchar en el podcast es la de la última versión estrenada en Broadway en 2015 con Kristin Chenoweth como la estrella Lily Garland, Peter Gallagher como el director Oscar Jaffe, Mary Louise Wilson como la alocada Letitia Prinrose, Mark Linn-Baker como Owen y Michael McGrath como Oliver, los asistentes del director y Andy Karl como el actor de cine Bruce Granit. 00h 00’00” Take the a train – Duke Ellington 00h 02’47” PRESENTACIÓN 00h 04’17” CABECERA 00h 05’27” INICIO 00h 06’14” Overture 00h 11’07” Stranded again 00h 13’03” Saddle up the horse – On the 20th Century 00h 17’52” Where is the highest priest of the theatre? 00h 19’58” I rise again 00h 24’18” An angel of deliverance 00h 25’38” Oscar Jaffe/Lily Garland 00h 27’00” Indian maiden’s lament 00h 29’38” What’s your name child? 00h 30’56” Veronique 00h 37’51” I have written a play (Conductor) 00h 39’03” Together 00h 42’20” Never 00h 45’48” Oscar Jaffe he meant nothing to me 00h 46’20” Our private world 00h 50’45” Repent 00h 56’24” Mine 01h 02’55” I’ve got it all 01h 08’07” Entr’acte 01h 09’05” Life is like a train 01h 14’16” I have written a play (Congressman) 01h 15’44” Five zeros 01h 20’44” I have written a play (Doctor) 01h 21’27” An anthology of womankind 01h 24’12” Sign, Lily, Sign 01h 31’01” She’s a nut 01h 36’38” Max Jacobs 01h 37’35” My play by Somerset Maugham 01h 38’24” Babette 01h 44’53” Because of her 01h 50’06” Lily / Oscar 01h 53’46” I had to do it to save you 01h 54’56” Finale 01h 56’46” CONCLUSIONES Y ANÉCDOTAS 01h 59’50” The legacy 02h 05’41” Lily / Oscar – Judy Kaye & Rock Hudson 02h 08’04” AGRADECIMIENTOS Y DESPEDIDA 02h 08’42” Runaway train
The best sitcom mom of all time is on the show. We are joined by actor and Emmy-nominee Patricia Richardson. You Might Know Her From Home Improvement, The West Wing, Strong Medicine, Ulee's Gold, Cubby, and The Parent Trap 3. Patricia Richardson understudied the role of Louise “Gypsy Rose” Lee in the 1974 Broadway revival of Gypsy opposite Angela Lansbury and we will never be the same. We talk about her auditioning for book writer Arthur Laurents, rehearsing with fellow understudy Mary Louise Wilson, and bemoaning Robert Tucker's pissy attitude (I mean, Zan, Nan, Ian). Patricia also revealed to us how network executives lied to her in order for her to sign on for Home Improvement, hosting the Emmys with Ellen DeGeneres (“the worst day of her life”), and whether or not she turned down a role on The West Wing (C.J.? Abbey?) before recurring as Sheila Brooks. The juice is good in this one, hunnies.

We are just pleased as punch to be with the great Heather Matarazzo. You Might Know Her From The Princess Diaries 1 & 2, Saved!, Welcome to the Dollhouse, Scream 3, Hostel: Part II, The Devil’s Advocate, Roseanne, and The L Word. Heather so graciously talked to us about the motives behind Stacy Merkin’s terrible review of “Lez Girls” on The L Word, working with the late Garry Marshall in a big Disney production opposite her real life idol Julie Andrews, navigating Hollywood (and avoiding being typecast) after her breakthrough performance as Dawn Wiener in Welcome to the Dollhouse, getting a job from Roseanne Barr as a young person, and her experiences coming out as a lesbian to Ellen DeGeneres on the set of a Sheryl Crow music video. This one is chock-full of brilliant and hilarious behind the scenes scoop and vulnerable and honest answers from an actress with an incredible body of work.

On this week's LadyWatch agenda: Ryan and Jason sing the many praises of Netflix, none greater than being the official Mary Kay Place place, but also for keeping Sissy Spacek, Swoosie Kurtz, Marsha Mason, Ana Gasteyer, and Mary Louise Wilson in paychecks and TV sets. ALSO: Christine Baranski gets an official green light at CBS for her 'Good Wife' spinoff, Helena Bonham Carter helps us clear up Brexit, Naomi Judd is hopefully not a racist (but Wynonna definitely loves grits), Robin Wright has her don't-fuck-with-me-fellas moment and Susan Sarandon will have a fuck-me-fellas moment when she is 80, Sheila E. comes to her own (and Chaka Khan's) defense at Linda Perry's defense of Madonna, and MUCH MUCH MORE!
Dennis visits the Fox lot to chat with screenwriter Ron Nyswayer during his lunch break from the series "Homeland," which he is currently writing for. Ron talks about his new documentary "She's the Best Thing In It" which is about Tony-winning actress and acting teacher Mary Louise Wilson. He also talks about the upcoming film "Freeheld," a feature film Ron wrote about a real life lesbian couple played by Julianne Moore and Ellen Page. Other topics include: the inspiration behind the famous "Philadelphia" opera scene, the impulse that brought him to TV and why he named his production company Blue Days Films after his harrowing and humorous addiction memoir "Blue Days Black Nights." Ron also answers the question, "Why do you write?", recalls being in the room when Goldie Hawn met Kurt Russell at a table read for "Swing Shift," talks about doing drag as an extra in "Soldiers Girl," reveals his most suprising fan, pees next to Clint Eastwood at the Oscars and shares what he knows now that he wishes he'd known when he was starting out. www.shesthebesthinginit.com

The "Grey Garden"'s creative team, Scott Frankel (composer), Michael Korie (lyricist) and Doug Wright (book writer) discuss the genesis of this new, highly acclaimed Broadway musical - why they chose this "cult" documentary to be the basis for a musical; how they all came together as collaborators; and what it took to make these characters "sing". Later in the show the stars Erin Davie, Christine Ebersole and Mary Louise Wilson join director Michael Greif to talk about how they worked together to inhabit the "Edies", as well as their personal connections with the characters in the piece.
