It may be hard for some of us to believe, but this past Valentine's Day – Feb 14, 2022 – marked the 50th Anniversary of the New York opening of the musical GREASE, at the Eden Theater on 2nd Avenue. And next week, June 7, will mark the 50th Anniversary of its official move to Broadway.  My guests this week are that Grease's original producer, Ken Waissman, and original director, Tom Moore, who along with Adrienne Barbeau (the original “Rizzo”) are the editors of the new book : Grease – Tell Me More, Tell Me More – Stories From The Broadway Phenomenon That Started It All. Ken Waisman is a Tony Award winning producer who made his Broadway debut with the play And Miss Reardon Drinks A Little. In addition to Grease he went on to produce Over Here! starring the Andrews Sisters, and the long running plays Agnes Of God, and Torch Song Trilogy. Tom Moore is a leading theater, film and television director whose work on Broadway includes his debut with Grease, Over Here!, Moon Over Buffalo starring Carol Burnett, and Night Mother. Their new book is made up of a the personal, behind-the-scenes memories of the show's creative and production teams, as well as scores of cast members from Grease's original cast, five national tours, and record breaking eight-year run on Broadway. In this episode you will hear about how Ken discovered the show in a ramshackle community theater production in Chicago; why Ken chose Tom to direct the show instead of Michael Bennett; how Tom almost turned the show down; and how together they discovered and cast more future stars than probably any other musical in history! Grease alumni include Adrianne Barbeau, Barry Bostwick, Jeff Conaway, Carole Demas, Greg Evigan, Peter Gallagher, Richard Gere, Marilu Henner, Judy Kaye, Rex Smith, Patrick Swayze, John Travolta, Treat Williams, and Adrian Zmed. As well as the future Broadway directors Walter Bobbie, Scott Ellis, and Jerry Zaks. Has any other show produced that many stars?  Even if Grease is not your favorite show, I feel certain that you will be fascinated by their stories of how the show came together, as well as the casting stories of John Travolta, Patrick Swayze and Richard Gere. Broadway Nation is written and produced by me, David Armstrong.

Born in Chicago, she started dancing as a toddler and began teaching dance at her family’s Henner Dance School as a teenager. While attending the University of Chicago in 1971, she was cast in the Kingston Mines production of a gritty new musical play about 60’s teenage life called Grease. This led to a move to New York a year later, where, in addition to the Broadway company of Grease, Ms. Henner appeared in the WWII era set musical Over Here! starring the Andrews Sisters and a cast of future stars including Treat Williams, Ann Reinking, and John Travolta. Other Broadway credits include Pal Joey, Chicago, Social Security, The Tale of the Allergist's Wife, and Getting the Band Back Together. In 1978, she landed her breakthrough role as Elaine Nardo in the seminal sitcom Taxi.

This week we chat with Emma-June Curik about which of life's truths can be gleaned from the dance-revolution musical - Footloose!"There have certainly been worse musicals on Broadway than ''Footloose,'' the $6.5 million adaptation of the hit 1984 movie that starred Kevin Bacon. Yet it's hard to think of one so totally unaffecting. The music in the show is loud, for sure, with a propulsive beat designed to set toes tapping and fingers snapping. The score is peppered with flashy dance tunes from the movie that have boomed over disco floors for years. And there's a young, eager, hard-working cast of dancers, somersaulting, back-flipping, wriggling to beat the band. But as directed by Walter Bobbie and choreographed by A. C. Ciulla, this production has a blurry, removed feeling, like a Xerox of a Polaroid. The show's creators seem to be aiming at teen-agers whose parents won't let them see the raunchier ''Rent,'' with a generation-crossing family entertainment that absolutely no one could object to." - BEN BRANTLEYhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Footloose_(musical)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Footloose_(1984_film)Kenny LogginsFootlooseFootloose (1984) - IMDbFootloose (2011) - IMDbhttps://music.apple.com/us/album/footloose-the-musical-original-broadway-cast-recording/1308552484https://open.spotify.com/album/479UvnNP6IJx44wd5XJK0MLike us on Facebook!
