My guest today is Joshua Rosenblum, author of Closer than Ever — The Unique Six-Decade Songwriting Partnership of Richard Maltby, Jr. and David Shire. This terrific new book chronicles the sixty-six-year (and counting) partnership of two of the most gifted songwriters of our time, giving full behind-the-scenes accounts of their musicals interspersed with deep-dive analyses of standout individual numbers. Among the well-known Broadway figures who feature prominently in the Maltby/Shire story are Stephen Sondheim, Hal Prince, Michael Stewart, Francis Ford Coppola, Susan Stroman, John Weidman, Charles Strouse, Garth Drabinsky, Jason Robert Brown, and Jonathan Tunick. Using his experiences as a Broadway conductor, music journalist, and professor of musical theater composition, as well as his long-term personal and professional acquaintance with both Maltby and Shire, Joshua Rosenblum is uniquely suited to chronicle their lives, careers, and creative output. The songwriters, both of whom are engaging and articulate in describing what they do, are quoted liberally throughout the book in exclusive interviews, creating the impression that one is spending time with two inspiring creative artists who happen to be great company.   Joshua Rosenblum teaches Composing for Musical Theater at Yale University and Conducting at New York University. As a composer/lyricist, he wrote the scores to the off-Broadway musicals Fermat's Last Tango, Bush is Bad, and Einstein's Dreams (four Drama Desk Nominations). He has conducted fourteen Broadway and off-Broadway shows and has performed as pianist with the New York Pops at Carnegie Hall, the City Center Encores! Orchestra, and the American Symphony. A longtime contributor of reviews and features to Opera News, Rosenblum is a summa cum laude graduate of Yale College and holds a master's degree in Piano from the Yale School of Music.

Today, I'm thrilled to announce my episode with one of theater's most brilliant directors, Daisy Prince. Tune in to hear some of the stories of her legendary career, including how she first met Jason Robert Brown at a piano bar, the way in which Stephen Sondheim and Hal Prince were opposite sides of a coin, the day that THE LAST FIVE YEARS was performed in chronological order, meeting her husband during THE PETRIFIED PRINCE, why she wasn't shocked by the closing of MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG, how a Yoko Ono musical led to SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD, the mentorship she has received from Paula Vogel, Richard Maltby, Jr., and other great theater artists, how she came up with the idea for THE CONNECTOR, casting Ben Levi Ross and Hannah Cruz in starring roles, the rewards of staging a period piece, and so much more, including a heartfelt tribute to Gavin Creel given on the day of his tragic passing. You won't want to miss this conversation with a theater artist whose legacy has spanned generations.

Hi this is David Armstrong. You may be wondering where I and Broadway Nation have been over the past few weeks. As you will hear, I have been battling a wicked case of bronchitis and today is the first day in ten days that I have been able to talk even enough to croak out this brief message. At the end of the summer, I had been planning to take a few weeks off from podcasting anyway, and this bronchitis has just jumpstarted that break. So here's the plan: On September 19 Broadway Nation will return for an exciting new season featuring a fascinating line-up of authors who have written some amazing new books. We will start with author Thomas Hischak who will kick us off with a discussion of Song Of The Season — Outstanding Broadway Songs since 1891. In the weeks that follow, you will meet Laurie Winer talking about Oscar Hammerstein and the Invention of The Musical, Doug Reside on his book Fixing the Musical — How Technologies Shaped The Broadway Repertory, Trevor Boffone who has written about TikTok Broadway. Dustyn Martincich and Pheobe Rumsay will discuss Dance In Musical Theatre — A History of the Body In Movement, Christopher Connelly on Helen Morgan: The original Torch Singer and Ziegfeld's Last Star, and Joshua Rosenblum and his book Closer Than Ever — The Unique Six-Decade Songwriting Partnership of Richard Maltby, Jr. and David Shire. And that's just the beginning! As always Albert Evans will join me for some deep dives into Broadway's past and, no doubt, there will be previews of my upcoming book. I guarantee it will all be worth the wait. In the meantime, you are invited to join more than 2600 fans of this podcast in the Broadway Nation Facebook Group where every day you can find posts and videos about the Broadway musical and Immigrant, Jewish, Queer and Black artist who invented it.  See you soon!

Amazing Mazie. Practicing kindness. Leadership.  Bobby was a little late to the party when discovering TOMMY, but now we can see him star on Broadway as Cousin Kevin in the Tony Nominated revival of TOMMY. This is his third Broadway show, and not only does Bobby discuss his approach to Cousin Kevin, but also talks very openly about what it's like to lead a show where most of the cast are Chicago transplants making their Broadway debut.  Bobby is currently reprising his performance in TOMMY from the Goodman Theatre's 30th anniversary production. Broadway: Company (dir. Marianne Elliott); A Bronx Tale (dirs. Robert De Niro & Jerry Zaks). Select theatre: 50th anniversary of Leonard Bernstein's Mass at the Kennedy Center; My Fair Lady (dir. Michael Arden); A Funny Thing… Forum (dir. Jessica Stone); Starting Here, Starting Now (dir. Richard Maltby, Jr.); world premiere of Ken Ludwig's A Comedy of Tenors; three seasons at The Muny.

Today, it's back on Broadway in a dazzling all-new production, Tony Award®️ nominated for Best Musical Revival, that feels more relevant than ever. “Everything about this exhilarating production shakes you awake and leaves you buzzed: Knockout singing, superbly inventive stagecraft and a star-making performance from 24-year-old Ali Louis Bourzgui as the Pinball Wizard that's the most exciting New York stage debut in years.” (NY Post) “Broadway has nothing else like this wizardry going on, not this season and nothing I know of for next season. Visually and sonically overwhelming, it's a prescient masterpiece of a rock opera.” Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Charles Strouse, es un compositor estadounidense con más de seis décadas de carrera, que demostró un notable interés y talento por la música desde muy joven. Tras graduarse en la Eastman School of Music con maestros como Aaron Copland, no conoció el éxito hasta coincidir con el letrista Lee Adams en 1960 y componer el musical "Un beso para Birdie", que ganaría el Tony al mejor musical original. Luego vendrían otros musicales como “All american” (1962), con libreto de Mel Brooks, “Golden boy” (1964), “Irt’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Superman” (1966) o “Applause” (1970) basado en la película “Eva al desnudo” con el que volvería a ganar el Tony al mejor musical, si bien su gran éxito por el que siempre será recordado es “Annie”, el musical que estrenó en 1977 con letras de Martin Charnin, con el que volvió a ganar el Tony al mejor musical, libreto y partitura, que se mantuvo en cartel durante 6 años en Broadway y que ha conocido múltiples revisiones y reposiciones por todo el mundo. Otros musicales suyos son “Flowers for Algernon” (1979), basado en la película “Charly” que estrenó en Londres Michael Crawford, “Nightingale” (1982), basada en el cuento de Andersen, “Dance a Little closer” (1983), con letras de Alan Jay Lerner, basado en la película “La delicia de los idiotas”, “Rags” (1986), con letras de Stephen Schwartz, “Nick & Nora” (1991), con letras de Richard Maltby basado en los personajes de “La cena de los acusados” de Dashiell Hammett y “An American tragedy” (1995), basada en la película “Un lugar en el sol”. El talento de Strouse no se limitó a Broadway, ya que también compuso música para películas como "Bonnie and Clyde" (1967), "La noche del escándalo Minsky’s" (1968), “El día de los tramposos” (1970), “Ishtar” (1987) o "Todos los perros van al cielo" (1989), además de trabajar para televisión en películas como “Escuela de brujas” con Tim Curry y Diana Rigg o en "Barrio Sesamo", con el que ganó varios premios Emmy.

And in this bonus interview episode, you'll hear from Mark Hoebee, the swing and dance captain for the show who actually worked with the creatives as actors were fired and the show kept changing up until opening night. He gives behind the scenes insights into the rehearsal process and some of the challenges this show faced just getting onstage. You can also get an extra conversation with the show's lyricist on Why I'll Never Make It. As one of Nick & Nora's creators, Richard Maltby, Jr gives even more backstory to how this musical failed and couldn't overcome all its obstacles. You can find that episode here.

In 1991, Broadway witnessed one of its most spectacular falls from grace with Nick & Nora, a musical adaptation of the beloved The Thin Man novel and film series. With a dream team that included Arthur Laurents, the creative force behind classics like West Side Story and Gypsy, Charles Strouse, the prolific composer of Bye Bye Birdie and Annie, and Richard Maltby Jr., known for Ain't Misbehavin', this show had all the makings of a hit. The star-studded cast featured Barry Bostwick and Joanna Gleason, among others. However, despite the promise on paper, Nick & Nora faced an unprecedented series of delays, setbacks, and ultimately, a one-week run. This episode sheds light on why the show faced so many challenges, from those who were there every step of the way. We explore the explosive clashes, financial woes, and behind-the-scenes drama that led to Nick & Nora's abrupt closure, serving as a cautionary tale that even Broadway's brightest stars can find themselves lost in the shadows.

Martin, E. Brickell) and between verses, told us how this saga began—exhausted from her work cleaning apartments, she crashed her car, thus robbing her of an Angeleno's most valuable possession. A singer, actress and self-confessed movie nerd, she ended up working as a reporter for Reel Hollywood, a small entertainment outlet. And yes, she literally rode the bus to her red carpet gigs. This change in fortune, however, inspired this delightful and often moving evening of songs and stories.

You're gonna have "the time of your life" as hosts Bobby and Kristina discuss 1996's Big The Musical on episode sixteen of My Favorite Flop.   ABOUT BIG THE MUSICAL Based on the 1988 film of the same name starring Tom Hanks, Big The Musical tells the story Josh Baskin, a 12-year-old boy who grows up overnight after being granted a wish by a Zoltar Speaks machine at a carnival. With the aid of his best friend, Billy, he must cope with his new adulthood while finding the machine so that he can wish himself back and more. The musical features a book by John Weidman, music by David Shire, and lyrics by Richard Maltby, Jr. Composer David Shire was inspired to adapt Big for the stage after his wife, actress Didi Conn, watched the film on pay-per-view in her hotel room one night and told him how great a musical it would make. Over the next six years, he was able to amass a team that included frequent collaborator lyricist David Maltby, Jr., book writer John Weidman, director Mike Ockrent, and choreographer Susan Stroman, all of whom were not quite convinced that the musical would work, but continued to contribute to the creative process anyway until it eventually ended up on Broadway. Big The Musical was one of the first major blockbuster films to be translated to the musical stage. While the practice has become much more common today, the Broadway community was far less welcoming of this at the time of its premiere. Despite the musical's strengths, it struggled to find an audience, and after failing to land a Tony nomination for Best Musical, it closed as a puzzling $12 million dollar loss of its $10 million dollar investment. A heavily-revised national tour traveled the country two years later under the helm of show doctor Eric Dr. Shaeffer and was a big success and almost returned to Broadway. The show made its UK and Ireland in 2016 in Dublin starring "Strictly Come Dancing" winner and The Wanted vocalist Jay McGuiness as Josh. The production transferred to London's West End at the Dominion Theatre in 2019 with McGuiness reprising his role.   Original Broadway Cast Daniel Jenkins as Josh Baskin Crista Moore as Susan Lawrence Brett Tabisel as Billy Lizzy Mack as Cynthia Benson Barbara Walsh as Mrs. Baskin John Sloman as Mr. Baskin Patrick Levis as Young Josh Baskin Jon Cypher as MacMillan Gene Weygandt as Paul

Este mes vamos a con el musical "BIG" basado en la película de 1988 nominada al Oscar al mejor guión original y al mejor actor protagonista para Tom Hanks que llamó la atención con su excelente interpretación. La película tuvo mucho éxito, pero el musical de 1996, cerró tras 193 funciones, a pesar de haber estado nominado a cinco premios Tony, incluyendo libreto, partitura y coreografías, convirtiéndose en un sonoro fracaso. Sin embargo, los autores David Shire en la música y Richard Maltby en el libreto y letras, hicieron varios cambios y reescribieron algunas partes para sacarlo de gira por Estados Unidos en 1997 y la crítica dijo que aquella versión era superior a la de Broadway.

Este mes vamos a con el musical "BIG" basado en la película de 1988 nominada al Oscar al mejor guión original y al mejor actor protagonista para Tom Hanks que llamó la atención con su excelente interpretación. La película tuvo mucho éxito, pero el musical de 1996, cerró tras 193 funciones, a pesar de haber estado nominado a cinco premios Tony, incluyendo libreto, partitura y coreografías, convirtiéndose en un sonoro fracaso. Sin embargo, los autores David Shire en la música y Richard Maltby en el libreto y letras, hicieron varios cambios y reescribieron algunas partes para sacarlo de gira por Estados Unidos en 1997 y la crítica dijo que aquella versión era superior a la de Broadway. Escucharemos un mix de la versión de Broadway con  algunos de los temas añadidos para la gira. En el reparto de Broadway están Daniel H. Jenkins (Josh), Crista Moore (Susan), Brett Tabisel (Billy) Lizzy Mack (Cynthia), Barbara Walsh (madre de Josh), John Cyper (MacMillan) y Gene Weygandt (Paul).

Richard Maltby Jr. is a theatre director and producer, lyricist, and screenwriter. He conceived and directed the only two musical revues to win the Tony Award for Best Musical: Ain't Misbehavin'  and Fosse. Other Broadway works include Baby (Director/Lyricist), Blood Knot (Producer), Song and Dance (Director/Co-lyricist), Miss Saigon (Lyricist), Nick & Nora (Lyricist), Ring of Fire (Creator/Director), The Pirate Queen (Writer/Lyricist). Off-Broadway works include Closer Than Ever, and The Story of My Life. He also wrote the screenplay for the film Miss Potter (2007) starring Renée Zellweger and Ewan McGregor. We talk about all the huge hats he has worn over the years, as well as . . . Now what? (What to do when your first show out is a big fat success) Why the collaboration process on Miss Saigon was one of the favorites of his career. How the revue has morphed into the jukebox musical, and what he thinks of the current lot. An old idea for new writers to get attention that still works today. What he thinks of the new “style” of musical theater.

2002 Symposium: It's Not Where You Start: In June 2002, the Stage Directors and Choreographers Foundation hosted a panel discussion on how Broadway directors and choreographers got their starts as part of its 3-day Musical Theatre Symposium. The panelists are Susan H. Schulman, Jeff Calhoun, David Warren, Scott Schwartz, Larry Fuller, Lynne Taylor-Corbett and Gabriel Barre. Some fell into their careers by accident while others had it planned all along, and their stories range from years of performing summer stock to meeting Tommy Tune.
