That includes Kendrick Lamar's entry into the movie song game, and one from Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman for the Mary Poppins sequel.
It's a visit that followed months of requests by lawmakers for transparency from the United States Postal Service. “I think it's valuable for us to come in and see the real circumstances,” said Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan. After receiving hundreds of complaints from people about delayed or missing mail across the state, McClellan and Congressman Scott Wittman were given a tour of the USPS Sandston Distribution Center. “When we first started, we had a brief, and the brief included the metrics, the numbers, the graphics, which we never got before,” Wittman said. “So it's very telling to watch what happened when...Article LinkSupport the show

We've got something to be thankful for. It's the brand new comedy-satire from Native American Playwright, Larissa Fasthorse. On this episode, Tamsen talks to the star of The Thanksgiving Play, Scott Foley (Scandal, Felicity). And we'll hear from Scott's co-star in the play, D'Arcy Carden (The Good Place, Barry). And, Paul Wontorek sits down with the Tony Award-winning songwriting duo behind the new comedy-musical, Some Like It Hot, Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman. Plus, Marc performs the title track from that musical.
Rick Elice co-wrote Jersey Boys (winner 2006 Tony Award, 2007 Grammy Award and 2009 Olivier Award for Best Musical) with the great Marshall Brickman; The Addams Family; Peter and the Starcatcher (winner of five 2012 Tony Awards); and The Cher Show (currently on tour in the UK). In the pipeline: The Princess Bride for Disney; Smash for Robert Greenblatt, Neil Meron and Steven Spielberg, music and lyrics by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, directed by Susan Stroman. Rick is also adapting Sara Gruen's novel Water for Elephants; the popular film, Silver Linings Playbook; and writing an original musical, Treasure, with 2021 Ed Kleban Award-winner Benjamin Scheuer. Rick's book, Finding Roger, An Improbably Theatrical Love Story, is published by Kingswell. Heartfelt thanks to those whose theatre work makes him grateful for the day he was born: Sondheim, Stoppard, Bennett, Prince, Fosse, Robbins, Nichols, Nunn, Laurents, Stone, Taymor, Papp, Schumacher, Schneider, David, Strong, Gaudio, Valli, McAnuff, Trujillo, Timbers, Coyne, Brickman, and, eternally, Roger Rees. Rick thinks about them a lot. He never thought about Jersey much. He does now.
We conclude our look at inspirational songs with "I Know Where I've Been" from Hairspray, the 2002 Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman musical based on the John Waters film of the same name. It's been a few years since we talked about the show's propulsive and endlessly optimistic closing number, so how does this song -- coming just before the final sequence and featuring a darker, if still optimistic tone -- sit within the show? And what's Erik's Grand Unified Theory of songs of inspiration?

Book Vs. Movie: HairsprayThe 1988 John Waters Movie Vs. the 2007 Adaptation“Musicals in March”The Margos continue their look at “Musicals in March” with the John Waters classic Hairspray, which started with the 1988 movie starring Rikki Lake, Divine, and Debby Harry. Based on his experiences of being a fan of the 1957-1964 Baltimore teen dance TV program--The Buddy Deane Show, Waters was a huge fan of R&B music. On the Buddy Deane show, the dancers were integrated, unlike Dick Clark's American Bandstand, which was based out of Philadelphia at the same time. Baltimore Magazine April 1985 by John Waters "Ladies & Gentleman: The Nicest Kids in Town!”Being a self-described “Super Fan” of the show, the director has a well-known career as an avant-garde-loving and bizarre artist who loves things that are in bad taste. His interest in something as wholesome as Buddy Deane made him think about writing a more accessible film about a group of teen dancers/local TV stars who fight racism and oppression with their love of music and dance. Given a modest budget of $2.8 million, the film was a box office hit, and the critics loved this new era of John Waters with even bigger hits in the 90s Cry-Baby & Serial Mom. Waters continues to write and direct his work and is very popular as an actor who appears in everything from Law & Order to The Marvelous Mrs. Maisles. In 2002, the musical version premiered in Seattle with music and lyrics from Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman and the book by Mark O'Donnell and Thomas Meehan. Hit is not a big enough word for this adaptation's success in the 2000s. It won eight Tony Awards (including Best Musical) in 2003 and broke all box office records in London's West End in 2008. The 2007 movie was directed by Adam Shankman and stars John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Christopher Walken and continues the big box office that started with the original 1988 film. What are the differences between the original and the latest version of the story of the AMAZING Tracy Turnblad? Which do we like best?

I'm Patricia O'Connell for This is Capitalism. Today I'm talking with Brian Lipton, who is the Chief Theater Critic for Cititour.com and the former editor-in-chief and currently a contributing editor to TheaterMania.com. He is going to take us behind the scenes at Broadway and give us a little bit of a look at what's going on with Broadway, the return to Broadway for both actors and theatergoers. Key Takeaways: [:29] Patricia O'Connell introduces Brian Lipton, a theater critic for Cititour.com and contributing editor to TheaterMania.com, and welcomes him to This is Capitalism. [1:01] What does the closing of Phantom mean after 35 years? Is it just time? It has made its money back so many times that its lead producer, Cameron Mackintosh, could run it as long as he wanted to. With its closing notice, its grosses have soared to their highest in years. Winter is not the tourist season, and COVID-19 is still a factor. [3:01] All Broadway shows are capitalized, which is really the amount of money it takes to put the show on from start to finish: rehearsals, scenery, rent, and things up until day one. For a large musical now, $15 to $25 million is not an unusual capitalization. You have to make that money back during the run to get a profit. [3:38] Then you have the weekly running costs. The set's already done, but you still have to pay rent, actors, and union people every week, and make that money back. For a musical like Phantom, that's estimated to be in the $750,000 to $1 million range because Phantom is a very elaborate show to make every week just to break even. [4:17] If you're doing a limited run, it's often built in that you need to be running at pure capacity. Into the Woods is still at the St. James, but it was originally scheduled for an eight-week run, and the only way that could've made money at eight weeks is if, for eight weeks it ran 100 percent. It did come close to that, but it's no longer coming close. [4:45] The longer the run goes on, sometimes the less you have to make that 100 percent. But you can't do badly; you have to still pack a fair amount of the house at full-price tickets if you're going to meet your running costs. And the minute you don't do that, you run the risk of being in the red. [5:05] Discounting tickets is a major factor. If you're selling 1,000 seats at $60 or $70, you're making $700,000 a week instead of $2 million a week. The Music Man doesn't discount, so it is taking in over $3 million every week. That will help it to be profitable by the time it closes. If they discounted by 50 percent, they wouldn't have a chance. [5:51] The Music Man had the option of running after Hugh Jackman decided to leave. And he is staying a few weeks past his contract. This has been done before when you have a star who is so powerful. Maybe the wisest business move, even if you could still make money — it's an expensive show with a large cast — is to take the money and go. [6:23] Hugh Jackman is one of those rare people who is a true movie star and a true theater star even though he has only been on Broadway three or four times, most notably, of course, in The Boy from Oz, his big Broadway debut. But he has created a huge following. Some people go back to see him four to six times. [7:04] There are shows that have always done stunt casting. You'll see, for example, Pamela Anderson doing Chicago. She was quite good. But more to the point, she brought in business. She had the highest grosses for Chicago in many months, if not years. And that was a perfect example of the right way to do stunt casting. [8:08] A lot of Broadway will be dominated, especially straight plays maybe more than musicals, by star casting, whether it's stunt casting or not. In a lot of cases, they're going to look for that star power to motivate the box office. [8:27] Now conversely, the musical, Some Like It Hot, stars Christian Borle, Adrianna Hicks, and J. Harrison Ghee, who, their talents notwithstanding, are not known stars. They are banking on the property and the careers of Scott Wittman and Marc Shaiman, who wrote the score. They have Tonys for Hairspray and they're very well known. [9:00] Brian doesn't think we're going to see a lot of truly original work on Broadway for a while. Everything will be based on a movie or a book or is a revival of a famous play. Theater that comes from scratch is few and far between. [9:21] This '22 to '23 will be the first “normal” Broadway theater season that we've had in several years now. I mean the 2019 to 2020 season got cut short, of course, because of Covid. What we're seeing now is a lot of flux. [9:42] This is a very unusual year in that a number of shows opened in December, including one, The Collaboration. It's an imagined conversation between Andy Warhol and Jean-Paul Basquiat. It's also being filmed simultaneously and it's coming in for a limited run. By the end of 2022, Broadway will be surprisingly full. [10:12] But January will bring the closing of Beetlejuice, after eight months. A Strange Loop, which won the Tony in 2022, for Best Musical, is closing on January fifteenth, which will make it, depending on how you count things, either the shortest or the third-shortest running Best Musical ever. There are also some limited runs now. [10:43] Phantom closes in February. But spring is usually the more prominent season than fall. Again, better weather, maybe more tourists, and closer to Tony time. Almost all of the big musical houses, The Winter Garden, the Marquis, and the St. James, are vacant for the spring. Brian wonders if the producers are hedging their bets. [11:20] Back to the Future, for example, is the kind of show that would probably have to take a million to a million-and-a-half every week just to be in break-even territory. [11:31] There is a symbiotic relationship between the New York City economy and Broadway. In the last full theater season, 2018 to 2019, Broadway ticket sales were $1.8 billion. That is more than the ten major league sporting teams in the New York City area, which is staggering, because what's more popular, sports or Broadway? [12:05] Can Broadway rely on locals? This fall, Broadway is doing surprisingly well without a huge tourist influx. There is a very strong local audience — New York City and the tri-state area, that will come to Broadway for something they want to see. The tourists augment locals in any season and are most important in spring and summer. [12:53] If we looked at a forecast and said that nobody is coming in the summer of 2023, that may be why spring producers are hedging their bet. You're never going to be able to run big, expensive shows without the tourist base. You can run Laura Linney for 16 weeks, and it's probably not a big deal because that's not what the tourists flock to. [13:37] When the tourists come, they want to see musicals. Broadway has some very long-running musicals like Hamilton, that's still bringing in insane amounts of money, Lion King, that's doing super well, and Wicked, that's still close to $2 million a week. They're there for the tourists. [14:01] A lot of tourists only come to New York once in their life and the one time they're coming they want to see Hamilton, The Lion King, and Wicked — the big, long-running shows. They don't necessarily want to see the hot, new show. Book of Mormon is running still on tourists. Chicago has run this long because tourists go see it. [14:33] What show will be the next “Phantom”? Chicago and Lion King, which opened in 1997, have run for 25 years. Will they run another ten? Lion King might. Its enduring popularity is because it is child-driven while pleasing to adults. There are always children being born. So Disney may have a chance to break the Broadway record. [15:27] Nobody would've bet on Chicago running 25 years. Chicago has the advantage of having made its money back so many times that its producers, led by Barry and Fran Weissler, if they want to just do this for the sake of doing it, they can run it. [15:34] Chicago is a very minimalist show; its running costs are very small, probably half a million or less. And so all you need to do is break that every week, give or take, and you can keep running. So those two have the chance to be the new Phantom. [15:55] We've seen recent revivals of the King & I, Carousel, Oklahoma, My Fair Lady; and South Pacific. How many of the great classic musicals are there left to recycle? The Sound of Music hasn't had a major Broadway production in around 25 years. So Brian won't be shocked if that comes down the pike. [16:35] We may be getting revivals featuring people of color or other non-traditional castings. There's a buzz for the first real revival ever of Kiss of the Spider Woman, which provides roles for three Latinx performers. Chita Rivera originated it but she was the only Latinx lead of the original threesome – we could easily have a revival of that. [17:14] All of the Lomans in Death of a Salesman, the five family members, are Black. The rest of the characters, who were always white, have remained white, which gives the play another dimension because we see interracial relationships and how that plays into the text. [17:40] There may be a way to breathe new life into “old shows” or revivals and bring new life to them in an interesting spin. Death of a Salesman is color-conscious casting. You know the Lomans are Black even though they have not changed the text. In the more popular color-blind casting, you're not supposed to think about their color at all. [18:16] There are producers that are in this for the glory and they'll produce things so they can get their Tony award. And there is the larger group of producers who treat theater as show business, not show art. They want to make money. If a particular type of play is not making money, you're not getting more of it. That's how this works. [18:45] If Brian could produce any show he wanted, with any star, in the world of show business, he would produce Audra McDonald in anything she wanted to do: Gypsy, A Little Night Music, Sweeney Todd. Audra McDonald and Stephen Sondheim are probably Brian's dream combination.

Continuing our celebration of the 20th Anniversary of HAIRSPRAY – The Musical, my guest this week is the show's original choreographer JERRY MITCHELL who shares with us a first-hand, behind-the-scenes look into the creation of that Tony Award winning musical -- especially in regard to the how the show's unique staging, choreography, design, as well as many of its most memorable moments were first dreamed up and executed! You will also get an inside view of Jerry's close collaborations with Hairspray's director, Jack O'Brian, lead producer Margo Lion, set designer David Rockwell, and Tony Award winning songwriters Marc Shaiman & Scott Wittman. You will also have the opportunity to hear excerpts from the show original "demo recording" featuring vocals by Annie Golden and Jenifer Lewis! 20 years ago I had the great privilege of being part of the birth of Hairspray – The Musical because at that time I served as the Producing Artistic Director of Seattle's 5th Avenue Theater where the show received its World Premiere. This is my 3rd episode celebrating HAIRSPRAY's 20th. Last week I had the great pleasure of having Marc & Scott as my guests, and a few weeks ago, on Episode 71, my guest was one of the show's original producer's, Adam Epstein, who is now the host of his own podcast called Dirty Moderate. Please feel free to listen to these episodes on any order as each of my guests brings their own specific memories and perspectives to the celebration. Jerry Mitchell is a two time Tony Award winner whose work on Broadway includes the choreography for You're A Good Man Charlie Brown, The Rocky Horror Show, The Full Monty, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, La Cage Ax Folles, and Catch Me If You Can - and the direction and choreography for Legally Blonde, Kinky Boots, On Your Feet, and Pretty Woman.

My guests on Broadway Nation today are the Tony Award winning songwriting team of Marc Shaiman & Scott Wittman who join me to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Hairspray – The Musical. That's right! It was 20 years ago, during the summer of 2002, that Hairspray first received its World Premiere in June at Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre (where at that time I had the great pleasure and privilege of serving as that theater's Producing Artistic Director). Then, just three months later, the show became an instant hit when it debuted on Broadway on August 15th at the Neil Simon Theatre, where it would go on to run for 2,642 performances! In this episode Marc & Scott take us inside the creation of Hairspray, how it began, how it developed over four workshops, and how they collaborated with a team of outstanding theatermakers including bookwriters Mark O'Donnell & Tom Meehan, director Jack O'Brian, choreographer Jerry Mitchell, lead producer Margo Lion, and John Waters who wrote and directed the quirky film on which the musical is based. Our conversation is filled with great behind the scenes stories that include: Harvey Fierstein's contributions to the script, how they “tortured” Marissa Jaret Winokur, the many songs they wrote for “Velma Von Tussle” (Linda Hart), the legendary night the Seattle Men's Chorus attended the show, and how Mathew Morrison is a lot like Shirley MacLaine! In short, it was an absolute delight to reminisce with Scott & Marc about that eventful summer 20 years ago that changed all of our lives! The episode ends with the inside scoop about their upcoming show, Some Like It Hot, which will open on Broadway in December. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

HARVEY FIERSTEIN wrote the books ( or adapted the books ) for the Broadway musicals Funny Girl, Kinky Boots. Newsies as well as Torch Song Trilogy (Tony®, Drama Desk, and OBIE Awards), La Cage aux Folles (Tony® and Drama Desk Awards), The Sissy Duckling (Humanitas Award), A Catered Affair (12 Drama Desk nominations), Safe Sex (Ace Award), Legs Diamond, Spookhouse, Flatbush Tosca, Common Ground, and more. His political editorials have been published in The New York Times, TV Guide, The Huffington Post, and broadcast on PBS's “In the Life”. His children's book, The Sissy Duckling, is now in its fifth printing. As an actor, Mr. Fierstein is known worldwide for his performances in films like Mrs. Doubtfire and Independence Day, and on stage in Hairspray (Tony Award®), Fiddler on the Roof, La Cage aux Folles, Torch Song Trilogy (Tony Award®), and TV shows such as “Smash,” “How I Met Your Mother,” “The Good Wife,” “Cheers” (Emmy nomination), “The Simpsons,” and “Nurse Jackie.” Acclaimed originally for his groundbreaking writing and performance in his 1981 Torch Song Trilogy, Harvey Fierstein has refined and redefined the persona of the drag queen in the theater. Two years later, Fierstein brought that insight and humor into his book for the musical adaptation of La Cage aux Folles. As Frank Rich wrote in the New York Times, this “is the first Broadway musical ever to give center stage to a homosexual love affair – but don't go expecting an earthquake. The show at the Palace is the schmaltziest, most old-fashioned major musical Broadway has seen since ‘Annie,' and it's likely to be just as popular with children of all ages.” Fierstein subsequently wrote the book for Legs Diamond (1988) with music and lyrics by Peter Allen, who also starred in the show. He did not return to Broadway until 2002, when he took on the role of Edna Turnblad in the musical adaptation of Hairspray (book by Mark O'Donnell and Thomas Meehan; music by Marc Shaiman; lyrics by Scott Wittman and Marc Shaiman). According to Ben Brantley, Fierstein's performance as Edna “is not just a cross-dressing sight gag. She's every forgotten housewife, recreated in monumental proportions and waiting for something to tap her hidden magnificence.” After playing Tevye in the 2004 revival of Fiddler on the Roof, Harvey Fierstein wrote the book and starred in the 2008 musical, A Catered Affair. As a writer and actor, Fierstein has won three Drama Desk Awards and four Tonys®, most recently for his portrayal of Edna in Hairspray. His most recent memoir is called I Was Better Last Night.

One major theme that Elizabeth discusses is how the general public views the tragedy of female celebrities and why the media delights in the tragedy of these women? Elizabeth discusses her biography process which started with the Marilyn Monroe photos taken in Manhattan (specifically the one taken at the Ambassador Hotel, the book's cover photo). Elizabeth analyzes key moments in Marilyn's life including the iconic Seven Year Itch subway grate photo, why 1954 was such a year of joy for Marilyn in Manhattan, and her incredibly fulfilling relationship with Milton Greene. One question Elizabeth addresses is what would have happened if Marilyn had not spent a year in New York? We know that the Bombshell creative team (we're looking at you Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman) is working on bringing the musical to Broadway so make sure you reach out to Elizabeth Winder. And, definitely watch the recently released The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes on Netflix.

Film critic and author Jason Bailey (Fun City Cinema) hops on the Amtrak Acela Express with us, as we bounce between the Big Apple and Baltimore for a decidedly cacophonous double feature! First up is Oliver Stone's World Trade Center, which trades in Stone's signature conspiratorial thinking for an earnest, if narratively stagnant, disaster movie about the real-life tale of two Port Authority police officers (Nic Cage and Michael Peña) trapped in the rubble of the World Trade Center on 9/11. Cage does a lot with a little, treating the film as an acting exercise, but it's as po-faced as something made so soon after the tragedies probably would be. Still, it's an interesting, if heavy, glimpse at how we were processing such an historical horror through cinema. Don't worry, we've got a nice pastel palate-cleanser to follow in the form of Adam Shankman's breezy, bright adaptation of the Broadway musical Hairspray! A re-do of John Waters' most accessible picture, now filtered through Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman's catchy tunes, Hairspray sees ebullient, full-figured teen Tracy Turnblad (a revelatory Nikki Blonsky) finding her voice and standing up for integration in 1960s Baltimore. But most interesting for our project is Travolta, revisiting his song-and-dance bonafides in drag and a fat suit as Tracy's agoraphobic mom Edna, shooting for Divine but ending up landing on Amateur Cher Impersonator. Still, A+ for effort, and his chemistry with Chris Walken is off the charts, baby!

“BREWS, POURS And SIPS” From AmericaOnCoffee sharing eventful happenings
There is so much to discuss about the stage production of “Hairspray” which began as a nonmusical John Waters movie in 1988 and, after its Broadway success (it won eight 2003 Tony Awards, including best musical), NY Times And, the humor in the libretto, which was sharply crafted by Mark O'Donnell and Thomas Meehan from John Waters's witty 1988 film, proves fairly sophisticated stuff, greatly energized by the contagious power of the early-1960s-influenced score from Marc Shaiman, the composer, who collaborated on the clever lyrics with Scott Wittman. Their appealing tunes, like “I Can Hear the Bells” and the rollicking “Welcome to the '60s,” sound authentic to the story's era and certainly remain catchy to the ear. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/stringer5/support
This week we talk with Joshua Moore & Lawson from the upcoming production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at Phoenix Ensemble about which of life's lessons can be learned from this chocolate confection of a musical!BOOK TICKETS TO THE SHOW: https://phoenixensemble.com.au/portfolio-items/charlie-and-the-chocolate-factory/Don’t expect a sugar rush from “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” the new musical that opened at the Lunt-Fontanne Theater on Sunday. This latest adaptation of Roald Dahl’s winningly sinister children’s story from 1964 is — thank heaven — no sweeter than the two film adaptations it inspired, starring Gene Wilder (1971) and Johnny Depp (2005).Then again, this big but tentative show — which features a book by David Greig and songs by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman — doesn’t burst with flavor of any kind, at least not during its exposition-crammed first act. Only in its second half does the show acquire a distinct taste, and it definitely isn’t confectionary. - By Ben Brantleyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_and_the_Chocolate_Factory_(musical)https://www.mtishows.com.au/charlie-and-the-chocolate-factoryhttp://charliethemusicalshop.com.au/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_and_the_Chocolate_Factoryhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roald_Dahlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Greig_(dramatist)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Shaimanhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_WittmanLike us on Facebook!

Stories going from the big screen to the stage. It is one of the mostly highly debated ideas in theatre right now. Are commercialized shows overpowering broadway? Do these movies to stage productions add anything to theatre? We chat about this, and of course get a bit sidetracked along the way. Also, we want your thoughts on the episode and your embarrassing theatre stories! Listen to the end!

Today I’m with celebrated Australian choreographer, and now choreographer/director of the upcoming production “Catch Me If You Can” - Cameron Mitchell. Cameron has many strings to his bow, he is a performer, choreographer, teacher and now a director, all of which could be preceded by any glowing superlative you can think of. Today he talks about the show, his past, present and future and what it feels like to make the transition from performer to choreographer to choreographer/director. Cameron is an absolute delight and I doubt you will meet anyone more passionate about his craft. “Catch Me If You Can -The Musical” is based on the 2002 movie of the same name which in turn was based on the 1980 autobiography of Frank Abgnale Jr – a genius con artist that managed to con millions of dollars by faking it in professions he had never trained to do. With a swinging 60’s score by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, it sounds like it’s going to be a cracker.

It's Thursday, and that means theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck joins us with another of her weekly reviews of the region's thespian fare. Today, she tells us about the traveling production of the new hit musical, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, now enjoying a 5-day run at Baltimore's Hippodrome Theatre,Based on the popular 1964 children's novel of the same name by Roald Dahl, the new musical also features songs from the 1971 film adaptation, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. That film starred Gene Wilder as the mercurial candy maker, Willy Wonka, who offers a tour of his secretive candy factory to the lucky children who find one of the golden tickets tucked inside just five of his factory's countless candy bars. The movie's Oscar-winning score by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newly included hits like “Pure Imagination,” “The Candy Man” and “I’ve Got a Golden Ticket.” The touring musical, starring Noah Weisberg as Willy Wonka, also breaks new ground with a book by David Grieg, and a bevy of original songs by composer Marc Shaiman and lyricist Scott Wittman, the team that gave us Hairspray. The production is directed at the Hippodrome by Jack O'Brien, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory continues at the Hippodrome through Sunday. January 27th.

54 years after she first lit up the lives of the Banks family - not to mention cinema-goers the world over - everyone's favourite nanny is back. Mary Poppins Returns sees Emily Blunt in the title role, reunited with the household in the wake of a tragedy three decades after events of the original. It's directed by Rob Marshall, and we're delighted to say that Rob is our guest on this festive edition of Soundtracking - the weekly podcast about film and television music. Remaining true to the spirit and tone of the 1964 movie, Mary Poppins Returns is a love letter to London, Walt Disney, animation and, of course, classic silver screen musicals. The score and songs were composed by Marc Shaiman, with lyrics from fellow Broadway legend Scott Wittman, and we also reflect at length upon the Sherman brothers' classics of the original.

En este podcast hablaremos de "CATCH ME IF YOU CAN", el musical que escribieron Marc Shaiman y Scott Wittman los autores del premiadísimo "HAIRSPRAY", en este caso basado en la película y la biografía del real Frank Abagnale que llevó al cine Steven Spielberg con el título de "ATRÁPAME SI PUEDES" y que en esta su siguiente aventura de Shaiman y Wittman, con un equipo técnico y artístico estupendo, tuvieron un fracaso en taquilla que no aguantó en Broadway mas de 170 representaciones. El podcast está soportado por el reparto que estrenó la obra en Broadway con Aaron Tveit (Frank Abagnale), Norbert Leo Butz (Hanratty), Tom Wopat (padre de Frank), Rachel de Benedet (madre de Frank), Kerry Butler (Brenda), Nick Wyman (padre de Brenda) y Linda Hart (madre de Brenda. También podremos escuchar nada menos que OCHO canciones escritas o esbozadas por los autores pero que no llegaron a Broadway, aunque en algún momento estuvieron en las lecturas previas y desarrollo del musical en el que emplearon más de SEIS AÑOS y por el que pasaron actores y cantantes de la talla de Nathan Lane, Patty LuPone, Christian Borle, Katharine McPhee o Matthew Morrison.
