EPISODE 71 - “STEVE & NAN's FAVORITE CLASSIC FILMS OF THE 1970s” - 1/20/2024 The 1970s was a decade that saw the rise of the auteur. Filmmakers like Scorsese, Coppola, Cassavetes, Altman, Lumet, and DePalma hit their stride and brought to the screen their specific vision and stylized films. It was a very experimental era where boundaries were pushed and once-taboo topics were explored. It became a creative high point and gave us some iconic movies. This week, Steve And Nan take look at some of their favorite films of the 1970s.

Is COVID-19 becoming old news? Host Dr. Clayton Dyck is joined by Dr. Michael Kidd, an Australian family physician and public health leader, to discuss what we still need to remember from the pandemic. In the first part of their conversation, they explore the reasons why family doctors are experiencing post-COVID "fatigue" and identify positive outcomes and findings that will help us deal with future outbreaks.
Dr. Clayton Dyck and Dr. Michael Kidd continue their conversation about positive outcomes that have emerged from the pandemic and how these are being shared globally. They also discuss those outcomes that we should forget about and the "lessons learned" that Dr. Kidd will personally apply when the next global crisis appears. Additionally, Dr. Kidd brings a very Australian contribution to the Planet Family Doc potluck!

This is the second half of my conversation with author Liza Gennaro, whose fascinating book is titled: Making Broadway Dance. If you missed part one you may want to catch up on that episode before listening to this one. Liza is currently the Dean of Musical Theater at the Manhattan School of Music and she also has had a very active and successful career as a dancer and choreographer. Interestingly, she is closely related to this subject matter of her book because her father was the Tony Award winning choreographer and star dancer, Peter Gennaro. He is profiled in the book as well as in this episode. By the end of Part 1, we had made it to the late 1940s when Agnes de Mille was dominating the field of Broadway choreography. Between 1943 and 1945, De Mille had four hits in a row – Oklahoma!, One Touch of Venus, Bloomer Girl, and Carousel – and three of them choreographed in her signature “Americana” style. This unprecedented string of successes made her the most powerful choreographer in the commercial theater, and soon led to her becoming the first director-choreographer of the “Golden Age” with Rodgers & Hammerstein's Allegro. De Mille's most significant contribution to the Broadway Musical was breaking the mold of the traditional Broadway chorus girl by insisting on hiring actor/dancers who could fully embody the characters that they were playing. This new approach to Broadway dance, and this new kind of Broadway dancer, would be adopted by everyone who followed in her footsteps – especially Jerome Robbins – who years later would write, “Agnes broke the conception of what the Broadway dancer could be in the Broadway Musical. What they looked like, what was desired of them, and what their contribution to the show was.” And, as you will hear, Robbins took that idea and ran with it, just as De Mille's “Americana” style was starting to lose its luster. That's just the beginning Later in the episode Liza and I discuss Michael Kidd, Bob Fosse, Gower Champion, Michael Bennett, Graciela Daniele, Susan Stroman, Kathleen Marshall, Bill T. Jones, Stephen Hoggett, Lorin Latarro, Kelly Devine, Sergio Trujillo, Jerry Mitchell and more! Become a PATRON of Broadway Nation!

This is the first half of my recent conversation with author Liza Gennaro, whose fascinating new book is titled: Making Broadway Dance. Liza is currently the Dean of Musical Theater at the Manhattan School of Music and prior to that she had a very active and successful career as a dancer and choreographer on Broadway and with prominent theater companies across the country. Most notably she choreographed the hit Broadway revival of Frank Loessor's The Most Happy Fella. As she writes in the introduction to her book, Liza came to her love and interest in musical theater dance genetically. Her father was Peter Gennaro, the Tony Award winning choreographer and star dancer of Broadway musicals and TV variety shows. And her mother, Jean Gennaro, was a ballerina turned Broadway dancer who danced for Bronislava Nijinska, Agnes De Mille, and Michael Kidd. As you might imagine, Liza grew up immersed in the world of Broadway, and all manner of dance, and she is able to weave all of that life experience into this remarkable book. I can't think of anyone more uniquely qualified to write it. Appropriately for the final day of Women's History Month, this episode focuses largely on two great female choreographers -- Katherine Dunham and Agnes de Mille. I have stated that De Mille is arguably the most important woman in the history of Broadway musical – not including the star performers, of course – and she has received quite a bit of focus in previous episodes of this podcast. However, I am especially happy today to shine a spotlight on Katherine Dunham whose influence on Broadway dance – like that of many other black artists – has often been overlooked and undervalued. But her impact and significance cannot be denied. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today, I am so happy to announce my interview with a Broadway legend I've been wanting to talk to since I started this podcast—Tony winner Hal Linden. Having recently completed a successful run in Two Jews Talking, Hal joins us today to tell many of the stories of his long career, including: the role that George Abbott let him pick, how he became a non-traditional Sid Sorokin in a non-traditional revival of The Pajama Game, the Alan Jay Lerner musical he turned down, why he's never played Tevye, the promise Lucille Ball made to him, a lesson from Judy Holliday about upstaging, why The Rothschilds is a problematic show, the dialogue he wrote for The Education of H*Y*M*A*N K*A*P*L*A*N, why Louis Jourdan was not right for On a Clear Day, plus stories about Michael Kidd, Sheldon Harnick, Sam Mendes, Ossie Davis, and more. You won't want to miss this inside view into a bygone era of Broadway.

"So here we are again", "talkin' in tongues" and proving "one man is not enough" as hosts Bobby and Kristina discuss ALL THREE musicals based on the literary work of Truman Capote on episode fifteen of My Favorite Flop: 1954's House of Flowers, 1966's Breakfast at Tiffany's, AND 1971's The Grass Harp. ABOUT HOUSE OF FLOWERS Based on the original short story by Truman Capote, House of Flowers tells the story of two neighboring bordellos that battle for business in an idealized Haitian setting. The musical features music by Harold Arlen, lyrics by Arlen and Truman Capote, and a book by Capote. In the early 1950s, Truman Capote became involved in the performing arts. He was approached by producer Saint Subber to adapt his recent story, "House of Flowers", as a musical play for Broadway. Much of the writing was done in the Italian fishing village of Portofino; but Capote and Jack Dunphy found time to travel to Switzerland and Paris before turning to America, where Capote met again with producer Saint Subber and continued his work in the musical. After a Philadelphia try-out, the show opened on Broadway on December 30, 1954 at the Alvin Theatre and played for 165 performances. The director was Peter Brook. The cast included Pearl Bailey, Diahann Carroll, Juanita Hall, Ray Walston, Carmen de Lavallade, Alvin Ailey and Geoffrey Holder (who also provided a section of choreography). Although the show received generally poor reviews, the dance-rhythm infused score has been praised for its mix of blues and calypso. There was an unsuccessful Off-Broadway revival in 1968 at Theater de Lys. In 2003, there was an Encores! production, starring Tonya Pinkins and Armelia McQueen as the battling bordello madams and Maurice Hines as Captain Jonas, the smuggler. The virginal Ottilie was played by Nikki M. James, and the mountain boy, Royal, was played by Brandon Victor Dixon. Roscoe Lee Browne played the voodoo priest, Houngan. ABOUT BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S Based both on the 1958 Truman Capote novella and 1961 film of the same name, Breakfast at Tiffany's tells the story of a free spirit named Holly Golightly. The musical features music and lyrics by Bob Merrill and a book by Abe Burrows, which was rewritten in previews by legendary playwright Edward Albee. The original cast included Mary Tyler Moore, Richard Chamberlain, Sally Kellerman, Larry Kert and Priscilla Lopez. The production was designed by Oliver Smith, directed by Joseph Anthony and choreographed by Michael Kidd with assistance from Tony Mordente, and produced by David Merrick. Despite the impressive list of collaborators, the project never gelled. The show underwent constant and massive changes in its script and score during out-of-town tryouts. The original book by Abe Burrows was seen in Philadelphia, then scrapped completely, and Edward Albee, an unlikely choice, was hired to re-write before a Boston tryout. Burrows was the original director but left when Albee was brought in. He was replaced by Joseph Anthony. On a daily basis, the cast was given new material hours before curtain time, and the piece was overly long, running nearly four hours. Burrows's departure resulted in low morale among cast members, and Moore was convinced that Merrick planned to fire her soon after opening night. Its original title, Holly Golightly, was changed when it started previews on December 12, 1966, on Broadway at the Majestic Theatre. Despite a healthy advance sale and much audience anticipation, it closed four nights later without having officially opened. Merrick placed an infamous ad in The New York Times, announcing that he shut down the production "rather than subject the drama critics and the public to an excruciatingly boring evening." In 2013, the musical was revived for the first time, using Burrows's book, under the title Holly Golightly, at the 200-seat Lilian Baylis Studio at Sadler's Wells Theatre in London, as part of Ian Marshall Fisher's "Lost Musicals" staged concert series. One reviewer wrote: "the show never seems to come alive [and though] worth excavating out of interest in the form, it is not clear whether it is stageworthy." ABOUT THE GRASS HARP Based on the 1951 novella by Truman Capote, The Grass Harp tells the story of an orphaned boy and two elderly ladies who observe life from a tree. They eventually leave their temporary retreat to make amends with each other and other members of society. The musical features music by Claibe Richardson and book and lyrics by Kenward Elmslie. The initial 1967 tryout of the musical was performed by Trinity Square Repertory Company at the Rhode Island School of Design auditorium, in Providence, Rhode Island. Directed and staged by Adrian Hall, the cast included Barbara Baxley as Dolly Heart Talbo, Carol Brice as the black maid Catherine Creek, Carol Bruce as Verena Talbo, Elaine Stritch as the evangelist Baby Love. After the Providence tryout, Larry Fineberg optioned the property for Broadway, casting Mama Cass as the evangelist Miss Baby Love. However, Fineberg was unable to raise capital funds, and the producing rights were optioned by Richard Barr. In October 1971, the Michigan University Professional Theatre Program presented The Grass Harp with the university's music and drama departments supplying musicians and performers. Initially as an evaluation by the Broadway producers Richard Barr, Charles Woodward, Michael Harvey, and Associate Producer Michael Kasden. Celeste Holm, a close friend of Claibe Richardson, appeared in the Michigan University Professional Program's production as "Miss Baby Love". She was replaced with Karen Morrow for the Broadway production. The musical adaptation opened on Broadway at the Martin Beck Theatre on November 2, 1971 and closed on November 6, 1971. The cast featured Barbara Cook as Dolly Talbo, Carol Brice as Catherine Creek, Karen Morrow as evangelist Miss Baby Love, Ruth Ford as Verena Talbo, Russ Thacker as Colin Talbo, Max Showalter as Dr. Morris Ritz, John Baragrey as Judge Cool, Kelley Boa, Trudy Bordoff, Colin Duffy, Eva Grant, and David Craig Moskin as Miss Baby Love's orphans, known as the "Heavenly Pride and Joy", Christine Stabile as Maude Riordan, and Harvey Vernon as Sheriff Amos Legrand. The musical previewed and opened during a major New York City newspaper strike preventing advertising and reviews, with no advance theater party ticket sales guarantee. Richard Barr, Charles Woodward, Michael Harvey, and Michael Kasden gave the company the option of maintaining three more weeks for the productions' performance schedule, or closing after only seven performances, using the show's banked funds to produce a Broadway cast album. The musical orchestration was recorded in Cologne, Germany, with the Cologne Symphonic Orchestra ensemble. Returning to the States, the original cast was recorded in New York City, with the album released a year after the musical's closing date.

La alegría, el estilo y el poder visual del maestro Minnelli hacen de The Band Wagon (Melodías de Broadway 1955 en España) uno de los grandes films de la historia del musical. El protagonista se baja del tren y nadie espera al antes aclamado astro de Hollywood. Pasea por un Broadway diferente, en el que triunfó, un Fred Astaire otoñal y perfecto pregunta al dueño de un puesto de perritos calientes donde está la fachada de aquel teatro con solera que parece haberse tragado la tierra. Y aún así, nunca hubo máquinas recreativas con más encanto, ni un limpiabotas con más sentido del ritmo en la famosa avenida de los sueños. Tony Hunter representa el musical clásico. Astaire se interpreta a sí mismo, con sus zapatos brillantes, su elasticidad única y su elegancia. En el rodaje de la película mostró cierta inseguridad con el coreógrafo Michael Kidd, no se sentía seguro con los pasos que en ocasiones le exigía, así de nuevo se funde la ficción con la realidad. El complejo del personaje de Astaire hacia la joven estrella de la danza se trasladaba al plató de la Metro donce Fred Astaire puso su sonrisa, su ritmo, y su saber hacer para acompasar y mejorar los movimientos de sirena de la Charisse. Minnelli conocía a la perfección el mundo del teatro y sus entresijos, En este musical espectacular y vitalista asistimos al montaje de un espectáculo, como se prepara una obra detrás de bastidores, los operarios, las inquinas, la soledad del artista en su camerino, los ensayos, las veleidades de un director caprichoso, los problemas de financiación, los castings. La vida imita al arte y viceversa. En el Gran Teatro del Mundo un bailarín de claqué y una diva del ballet hacen las paces en un coche de caballos. El glamour de una pareja única, ambos caminan por Central Park al son de las notas de Arthur Schwartz y la envolvente orquestación de Conrad Salinger, mantienen el mismo paso y la magia llenara a pantalla, las notas in crescendo se amoldan perfectas al baile y a la falda plisada de Gabrielle. El “Dancing in the Dark” divide la película y se convierte en uno de los mejores pasos a dos de la historia del cine. Las disparatadas pretensiones del director teatral Jeffrey Cordova -estupendo Jack Buchanan-, que cambia el libreto original de la pareja de guionistas. Su idea de convertirlo en una especie de Fausto bailado con ínfulas. El dinamismo de todas las secuencias y el amor de Minnelli y del productor Arthur Freed al show business deleitan, contagian su alegría. Los números musicales escritos por Schwartz y Howard Dietz -letras- se suceden, entre ellos la pieza mítica That´s Entertaiment, con un suelto Oscar Levant transportando una interminable escalera, un magnífico Buchanan, una radiante Nanette Fabray y Astaire dejándose convencer de que el mundo se divide en un escenario y un patio de butacas. En el apoteosis final Minnelli se atreve a cambiarnos la película y meternos de lleno en el cine negro en technicolor, con mafiosos que disparan balas de fogueo, una eligrosa mujer de rojo carmín, y vasos de cerveza con sabor a nitroglicerina. El estilo único de un estilista , el toque Minnelli, la clase y el glamour Los bailarines provocan la sonrisa una vez más y nos repiten que el show ha comenzado. ¡Viva el espectáculo! Esta noche nos colamos en la fiesta de Broadway e intentamos seguir losmovimientos de Astaire y Charisse... Salvador Limón, Zacarías Cotán y Raúl Gallego

For Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, NBA star who recently signed with the New York Knicks, watching the movie The Lion King is his way of staying connected to the father he lost as a result of gun violence before his third birthday. Today we welcome Michael’s mom, Cynthia Kidd-Gilchrist Richardson who talks about how this loss has shaped Michael’s life and shares with us the highs and lows of watching her son make it to the NBA. From the time he was 5 years old, basketball was Michael’s passion. As a mom, it never crossed her mind where this would lead. Very quickly, it became clear that he was destined for greatness, with scouts watching him at age 7. Playing for St. Patrick’s during his high school years paved the way for the future for Michael. Cynthia talks about how she managed the onslaught of colleges vying for his talent, the lead up to the draft where he was chosen 2nd overall and what it was like to play for Michael Jordan and the Charlotte Bobcats. We hear how hard it is for her to actually watch a game that Michael is playing in, especially when the stakes are high and what it took for her to realize she’s “just his mom”, the role she is most comfortable with, bearing witness to the life of an NBA player, the injuries, the mental game versus the physical game, the power of faith, debunking some of the myths that surround the glamour of professional sports, and how Michael, quietly without fanfare, gives back to his community.

The Golden Age of Broadway’s new revolutionary way of writing musicals did not just apply to musical plays like those of Rodgers & Hammerstein and Lerner & Loewe – it also transformed the Musical Comedy. These shows too would now need to have well-structured plots, and three dimensional, captivating characters. Two unlikely “Silver Age” songwriters would pioneer this new development – Irving Berlin and Cole Porter. In this episode I share the stories of how their success with Annie Get Your Gun and Kiss Me Kate inspired a new generation of writers, directors, choreographers, stars and producers including Jule Styne, Frank Loessor, Adler & Ross, Jerome Robbins, Bob Fosse, Gwen Verdon and Michael Kidd to bring the Musical Comedy to new heights!

We continue our summer leadership series this week that will have us studying Paul’s letters to Timothy as teaching team member Michael Kidd joins us. Could we do everything ourselves? Many of us perhaps think that is possible or at least wish it was. God has uniquely designed us as individuals to function together as one. Our commission as disciples in Jesus is to take what we have been given and pass it on. I know the summer is full of travel, but make plans to join us every Sunday you can as we seek to love, encourage, and equip you during our weekly worship.
