Rodgers & Hammerstein ushered in a new style with Oklahoma! in 1943, and soon, the old styles died away, putting up various degrees of resistance as they did so. Irving Berlin and Cole Porter both adopted a more R&H approach with their late 40s musicals, but it wasn't only existing masters who were influenced by the new approach. 1950 brought Guys & Dolls to Broadway, with Frank Loesser making his debut as a Broadway composer. Is it the best musical comedy ever written? It certainly belongs in the conversation, as we discuss in our episode on "Fugue for Tinhorns."

There's something deeply symbolic -- perhaps almost too much so -- about the Golden Era of the American Musical being ushered in by a song called "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'." But sometimes history is not subtle in her imagery, so here we are. The opening number to Rodgers & Hammerstein's 1943 absolute smash hit and epochal achivement, Oklahoma!, "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'" is modest and simple. And yet, it -- and the show it's from -- changed everything. Including ushering in the era of cast recordings, incidentally.

After bursting onto the West End musical theatre scene in 2019 as the title character in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat in Laurence Connor's acclaimed revival at the London Palladium, Jac Yarrow has become one of the West End's fastest rising stars. After recently concluding a Toronto run of Joseph and a critically acclaimed run of Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends in the West End, Jac Yarrow is heading to Theatre Royal, Drury Lane to lead the 50th anniversary concerts of Pippin, taking on the title role. Joining him will be a star-studded cast that includes Tony Award winner Alex Newell as the Leading Player and Olivier Award winner Patricia Hodge as Berthe; with Hodge previously playing Catherine in the original West End production of Pippin. In the upcoming concerts, Catherine will now be played by West End star Lucie Jones, with the cast supported by the London Musical Theatre Orchestra and a 50 member choir.In this brand new interview with Jac Yarrow, we take a deep dive into his career so far, looking back at highlights like Joseph but also At Last, It's Summer at the Palladium last year and Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella at Cadogan Hall in 2019, also with the London Musical Theatre Orchestra. During our interview, Jac also talks candidly about his experience at ArtsEd following recent allegations into bullying and misconduct at the elite drama school. Although he admits he himself didn't experience anything abusive during his time, he acknowledges that other's experience may be different and entirely valid too. As he now approaches a new challenge with Pippin, he reflects on his time so far within the industry and shares his advice for emerging and graduate performers too.Pippin - 50th Anniversary Concert run at Theatre Royal, Drury Lane on 29th and 30th April.

The stages of Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and Broadway were home to Laura Osnes for 15 years until 2021. Laura rose to stardom after winning NBC's reality TV competition Grease: You're The One That I Want, earning her the role of Sandy in the Broadway revival of Grease at the age of 21. She earned Tony Award nominations for Bonnie Parker in Bonnie & Clyde, Cinderella in Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella. And starred in five Hallmark Channel movies as well as releasing two albums.

Capitulating. We may have technological superiority when it comes to our military. But are our enlisted men and women willing to fight a protracted war with Russia and China? We can't contain the violence in our own cities so how can we do it in foreign countries? We're living in perilous times. We should never have built a system that demanded more. It bred distrust, avarice, and envy. We should have been asking for less thereby understanding what was important. We've abdicated thinking for ourselves and now we must capitulate to save ourselves. MUSIC Max Steiner, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Marni Nixon & Rex Harrison, Joel Grey, Bernard Herrmann, Michael Small
As noted in the previous episode, auditions are the backbone of this industry. It is the fundamental job of every actor to do as many jobs as we can and do each one to the best of our ability. But there is an important gatekeeper when it comes to submitting our self tapes or actually getting in the audition room, and that is the casting Director. You've heard from Actors and their experiences in front of the audition table. Well, now it's time to hear from the other side of that proverbial table and what goes in to casting, and the vital role they play in the production for the stage or screen. Daryl Eisenberg, along with fellow casting director Ally Beans, works to create a comfortable space for actors, so they can take risks and really show their full potential as artists. You'll hear Daryl's thoughts on how actors can make their mark in the audition room or on a self-tape, and then you'll get an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at how she uses her position and expertise to make the audition process enjoyable and inclusive for artists on both sides of the table.

In the latest episode of #OriginalBroadwayCast, Gus Gordon welcomes entertainment legend Bill Hayes. Gus had the chance to meet Bill when they both appeared in a concert version of the Stephen Sondheim musical Follies at The Little Theatre on the Square back in 2007. Bill Hayes burst onto the early national television scene in Olsen & Johnson's 1949 madcap series Fire-Ball Fun-for-All. From there he was tapped by producer Max Liebman to be a featured singer on Your Show of Shows starring Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca (1950-1954). Bill made his Broadway debut in Rodgers & Hammerstein's Me and Juliet, and followed with a gold record for “The Ballad of Davy Crockett” (over 4,000,000 sold). Bill headlined the first national tour of Bye, Bye Birdie as Albert Peterson, and has headlined musicals in major theatres across the country. He is best known for playing Doug Williams on Days of Our Lives opposite his lovely wife Susan Seaforth Hayes. Bill joined the show in 1970, and still makes regular appearances to this day to the delight of his countless fans. We hope you enjoy this conversation between Gus and Bill.

Justin, Bec and Olivia's discussion on Elvis's 1969 live album "In Person at the International" concludes this week as they dig into the back half of the album, where Elvis focused largely on more contemporary material. While Bec has words about "Words," Justin brings to light a possible new insight/discovery about the single version of "Suspicious Minds," inspired by hearing the lengthy live version here. Then, for Song of the Week, Olivia waves a flag for "School Days," the Chuck Berry classic that Elvis & the Joe Guercio Orchestra often featured during band introductions between 1975-1977. Bec confesses that Elvis's mournful 1966 ballad singing has got her feeling "Indescribably Blue." Lastly, inspired by the inclusion of "Unchained Melody" in the Baz Luhrmann trailer, Justin close out with Elvis's home recording of Roy Hamilton's version of "If I Loved You," originally from the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical "Carousel."

It's possible! Yes, it's very possible that we are revisiting the iconic and groundbreaking Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella (1997). Who could forget Brandy's debut as the first African American Cinderella in this mesmerizing film? Or the incredible amount of casting diversity and big name talent who showed up to create one of the most successful TV movies in history? As we travel back to one of our childhood staples and revisit the music, costumes, and unsettling fairy godmother jump scares, we have to ask: does the glass slipper still fit after all of these years? Or should we stick this VHS back in its own little corner? Let's find out together!

Ted Chapin is the former president of the Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization. He has lead Broadway productions and revivals, including “South Pacific” Broadway revival, “The King and I,” “Oklahoma!” and “Carousel.” He also approved television productions such as “The Sound of Music Live!” on NBC and “Cinderella,” starring Whitney Houston and Brandy, on ABC. We talk about how he got the job, the importance of these shows today, how Ariana Grande's "7 Rings" came together and so much more. We also talk about "Annie Get You Gun" which is celebrating its 75th anniversary and how Rodgers & Hammerstein were involved in the iconic show.
Coming to you from Kansas City, where everything's up to date and where we've gone about as “fur” as we can go, is episode 11 of The Movie Shelf. Eric and Sannah visit the Rodgers & Hammerstein classic “Oklahoma!”, directed by Fred Zinnemann, where the corn grows as high as an elephant's eye, and a simple backdrop of a country dance gives way to an exploration of naivety, optimism, romance, and morality in the face of changing times. And all that in a family musical! We begin by discussing the blu-ray release and its differing Todd-AO and CinemaScope versions, and its release on Disney+. Then we talk about the movie, its characters, and its themes, and why it deserves a revisit. Eric is on Twitter at @confilmbuff and Sannah is @SannahMcDonough. Thanks for listening!

What can we say? This week, Clancy gets introduced to the unquestionable excellence of Disney's made-for-TV classic, Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella. It seems impossible that he's never seen it, but you know what the lady says. Whitney, Brandy, Whoopi, and Bernadette. The ‘97 spin on the Rodgers & Hammerstein classic Cinderella was a cornerstone for many, a triumph for the network, and a straight up bop. It's hard not to enjoy this one. Especially if you're a young drag-queen-to-be looking for inspiration. Winga Myfancy, shante you stay! Poppycock and Twoddle!

KPFA theatre critic Richard Wolinsky reviews the 42nd Street Moon production of “Scrooge in Love” starring Jason Graae, at the Gateway in San Francisco through December 22, 2019. 42nd Street Moon website Text of review (differs slightly from audio version). Often remembered and revived, the big hit musicals of the fifties and sixties will never leave us. But there were other shows, minor hits and flops on Broadway, and television musicals that never went that far. These shows had weak books, and usually undistinguished scores with one exceptional song that survives. Cole Porter's Aladdin, Rodgers & Hammerstein's Me and Juliet, The Adventures of Marco Polo. The shows served as a backdrop to the bigger ones, the ones we sing today. So when you're going to the Gateway Theatre to see “Scrooge in Love,” a sequel to A Christmas Carol, starring Jason Graae with music by Broadway veteran Larry Grossman and lyrics by Kellen Blair, it's easy to imagine this show, first written and produced in 2015, being a revival of one of those shows from long ago, an imaginary black and white telecast on Kraft TV Theatre. Jason Graae, Scrooge in the production (actuality) It's hard to hang anything heavy on a clothesline made of tinsel. When we last left Dickens' Scrooge, his plate was full, with Tiny Tim and Bob Cratchit, with making up for years of greed. So does he need a mate? Not really. But if you accept the premise, then Scrooge does what it needs to do, in a 1958 kind of way. It's all kind of creaky, but not in a bad way. Jason Graae, coming off a year and a half as the Wizard in the national tour of Wicked, dominates the stage, not only with his talent, but with his energy. And there is that one song, a lament sung by Scrooge in Act Two when his old love rejects him, A Kitchen Built for Twenty, which Graae knocks out of the park. Broadway vet Larry Grossman thrives on the old style. No melisma, no rock or rap, nothing contemporary, a slight taste of jazz. In an era of throwing shade, Presidential tweeting, Facebook trolling, televised f-bombs and internet porn, sometimes you just need a little comfort food. Scrooge in Love, starring Jason Graae, directed by Dyan McBride, plays at the Gateway in San Francsico through December 22nd. For more information go to 42nd Street Moon dot org. That's 42ndStMoon.org. I'm Richard Wolinsky on Bay Area theatre for KPFA. The post Review: Scrooge in Love, at the Gateway (42nd St. Moon) appeared first on KPFA.
Warning: If you usually listen to this podcast at a faster speed, singing will be used and this might be a good time to slow your podcast player down. If you've been with me from the very beginning, you know every so often I like to thrown in a little singing now and then. I try to deny being a theater person, but I secretly am. The theater bug bites me every so often and I want to be in a show again. And not just any show. I was brought up listening to Rodgers & Hammerstein, singing along with Julie Andrews and Bernadette Peters, and had it not been for my lack of grace when it comes to dancing, I probably would have pursued it more. But, now that I have a podcast, and I wanted to celebrate the 100 episodes by doing something special, and no one has to see my bad coordination. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind: The Musical! Originally, I had a song for this episode's promo, but I decided to record this straight instead. I just wanted to thank everyone who has supported the show. I'm really proud of not only making it to 100 episodes, but also the one year anniversary of The Story Behind. And many of you have been there from the beginning.

There's going to be some exciting things planned for this podcast and myself and I can't wait to share it with you all. So here's to another 100 and another year of The Story Behind. Oh, and if you're an executive producer of The Story Behind, you can hear the original song I recorded for the promo by going to Patreon.com/TheStoryBehind. LYRICS This is the story all about the modern major musical The history's quite large and certain facts might be disputable It started back in Greece where many theaters were acoustical The middle ages brought them back with church and tra-ve-ling minstrels The 17- and 18-hundreds' shows were quite satirical Though op-er-a quite serious the musicals were comical The views expressed may not have always suited those imperial But entertainment wins and they continued to be fash'niable. With names like Strauss and Offenbach they spread fast geographical They hit the U.S.A. and folks enjoyed a bit of Vaud-eh-ville The history's quite large and certain facts might be disputable This is the story all about the modern major musical Burlesque, we will not cover because this podcast is for all ears But just to note this was a part of musicals for several years Extravaganzas, Pantomimes and farces were all met with cheers The theater thrived and fattened wallets of investing financiers Broadway emerged as the grand force to rule all things theatrical And stage revues like Zeigfeild's Follies drew crowds international In 1919 unions forced their contracts with a picket line The ‘20s saw Cole Porter, Hart and Rodgers and then Hammerstein The Great Depression didn't keep the musicals from going down But actors moved out west to Hollywood for movies now with sound The history's quite large and certain facts might be disputable This is the story all about the modern major musical The people went to movies to escape thoughts of the second war The musicals were loved and records flew off shelves at music stores The decades passed and rock and roll soon stepped on music theater's toes But Sondheim came and introduced the people to his concept shows The trend revived and musicals came back strong like they were before The audiences clamored for Andrew Lloyd Webber's epic scores And now our favorite movies-turned-to-musicals all do quite well And history has sold out crowds with R&B by Lin-Manuel. For episode 100 I came up with doing musicals I hope you learned a bit and all my rhymes weren't inexcusable The history's quite large and certain facts might be disputable This is the story all about the modern major musical! *** Join The Story Behind Discussion Group on Facebook!
