Bottomless Broadway

This week, we Bow Down to KPOP.  While it was far from Perfect, it's definitely not a Waste of Time, so join us as we discuss which parts make it a Super Star in our eyes!  (And our apologies to all Korean speakers out there for our failure to pronounce the Korean titles.) We recorded this episode pre-Tony nominations, so a huge congratulations to everyone involved for their 3 nominations in Score, Choreography, and Costumes!  -- Listen to the original version of Blast Off, interspersed with news reports about the North Korean rockets. For a detailed account of the original off-Broadway version, check out the review from Lighting & Sound America. On Broadway, KPOP had a notoriously short run, which prompted this postmortem from the LA Times, discussing what the reason could've been. Or for another article charting the lifespan of the show, check out this one from American Theatre. The last Broadway show to contain a significant amount of non-English text was probably the 2009 revival of West Side Story, where some of the songs were translated into Spanish. And take a look at Helen Park's SoundCloud for demos, earlier versions (with the off-Broadway cast), and cut songs! -- Music featured in this episode: From the Original Broadway Cast of KPOP Apple Music / Spotify / Amazon Music As of time of posting, only 5 songs from the Broadway production have officially been released on streaming (This is My Korea, Bow Down, Perfect, Amerika, and Super Star). The other music clips in this episode are linked below: Gin and Tonic (OBC) Han Guk Nom (Korean Man) [OBC] Still I Love You (Helen Park) Wind Up Doll (Ashley Park) Bung Uh Ree Sae (Mute Bird) [Helen Park] Kpopsicle (Max Vernon) Blast Off (OBC) Phoenix (OBC) — Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @BottomlessBway, our blog at https://bottomlessbway.home.blog/, or email us at bottomlessbway@gmail.com!

After graduation from high school, Carolyn Curtin enrolled at the Wilfred Academy and received a degree in cosmetology. For years, she worked as a hairstylist. But her path changed in 2002 when she purchased a 100-year-old, Victorian house in Asbury Park, New Jersey and set about restoring it to it's original glory. The city was in the midst of a major revitalization and historic buildings were been "clear cut" to make way for progress. Carolyn saw both beauty and historical significance in these structures and she started to extract items of value in advance of the wrecking ball. She began offering items she didn't need for her own restoration -- columns, railings, doors and reclaimed lumber -- to others around her. Local Asbury Park Historian Helen Pike gave her the moniker of "Salvage Angel" and that ultimately became the name of her new company. Today, "Salvage Angel By The Sea" has hundreds of thousands of items for sale -- moldings, exterior doors, custom made rugs, stained glass, lighting, plumbing fixtures, tile, furniture, nautical fittings, bathtubs, mantles and housewares. And it's all things that were headed to the junkyard but Carolyn figured out a way to reclaim and save it for others. It's housed in a 20,000 square foot former Canada Dry warehouse which Carolyn acquired in 2014. In the past seven years, she has also begun renting items to the television/film production industry and her wares have been featured in shows ranging from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel to West Side Story to Pretty Little Liars. Production crews now represent 70% of the company's revenue.

She speaks candidly about playing a homemade collection of Billy Porter's recordings in the delivery room as she was giving birth, the thrills of moving into New York to meet people and create something, and performing for the sake of performing, regardless of how a show is going to turn out. Andréa also talks about her latest role in "Up Here" and how she found familiarity with the character, Rosie. With the surge of musicals on tv and film, she reflects on its positive outcome, including reaching a wider, global audience to tell real human stories and make an emotional connection. Andréa Burns is an actress who's won a Drama Desk Award for her creation of the role of Daniela in the Tony Award-winning musical "In The Heights".

367. "It is Finished", Jesus Dying Words on Good Friday

dHarmic Evolution

367 It is Finished, Good Friday   It Is Finished, The last words Jesus spoke on Good Friday as he died on the cross to save Humanity.   Greetings all my friends and today I am doing something a little bit different on the Dharmic Evolution Podcast I wanted to present a project that I worked on more than 5 years ago on Music Row in Nashville. The band is called “Mercy” and the project was the “I AM VICTORIOUS” Album.   Its ultimate purpose is to become a theatrical musical experience, similar to West Side Story, or The Rocky Horror Picture Show, in that it's design is to include the audience as part of the presentation. However, at the time of putting the music together, we had no idea this was part of the plan.   My writing partner Archbishop and Captain Chaplain Christine Mercy Johnson and I wrote and Produced this album with Kim Copeland as Music Producer on Music Row in the late Spring and Summer of 2016.    I wanted to share 4 of the tracks with you today to give you a glimpse of the story and how important It is for us to remember what actually happened during those last days of the Lord that set up our Eternal spiritual possibilities for all time moving forward, I hope you will listen, and enjoy the story, And realize its importance on your life!   AMEN The Lord wanted us to write a song entitled “Amen” that is all we got, just “Amen” I walked around In circles in my small humble studio in this tiny cottage I was renting  at the time, it had a loft and fireplace  it was perfect actually, I really lived in a small recording studio, on an 80 acre estate surrounded by nature. After being exasperated At the lack of direction, I turned on my DX7, plugged in a couple of guitars, and set up the metronome, and    Just started tracking, the rest just came out, pretty much the same as you hear on the recording. The one Icing on the cake was that Christine had told me the Lord wanted her to do a voice over on top of the  Recording, and it turns out The Lords Prayer fit into the space perfectly, we had not planned on this And I had no idea that was going to be part of the song, but it fit like a glove.   The intro of this song starts with Christine reciting scripture from Revalations 22, its a moving and stirring Message, filled with dire warnings, but also with the promise of beautiful, revealing, and everlasting Light for us all, if only we dare to have the courage to claim it. As the scripture concludes, it moves Quietly into the song.   The intro is real birds that I captured at the cottage, I woke up pre dawn one morning and put two hi quality Microphones out of my windows to capture the early morning song birds, then later that day I went for A hike in one of my favorite forests and brought with me a tiny hi quality recorder, my trusty Boss Digital Micro BR recorder. (I still use it today, its smaller than a peanut butter sandwich) I set it on a rock in the Middle of a stream to capture the real water sounds for the recording, and added them into the mix.   I always thought of the piece as more of a prayer than a song, it is designed for you to put on in your Car, on the way to a stressful meeting, or uncomfortable situation, and is meant to help you find Peace through the prayer that you are communicating to the Father, Lord Jesus, and the  Holy Spirit. Amen~   Bless You This was a beautiful story about Jesus imparting to his disciples how to conduct themselves out in the World and how they can make an impact on society and care for their impoverished brothers and sisters. He spoke in parables not to be overly mysterious, however, he would alway try to trigger our creative minds using storytelling, and touching our imaginations in ways that would inspire thinking in new and prosperous way towards the good of humanity.   This showcases what faith and hope really are when these men just left their previous life in a Moments notice. They intuitively knew that they were witnessing something so unusual and so Brilliant, and must have thought “how could we miss this”?   I think the rolling piano riff in this song really glued the arrangement together. That is Nashvilles own Buddy Hyatt,  with brother Jim Hyatt on Bass guitar.  Shawn Fichter (from Tim McGraw's band) is on drums and percussion,  James Mitchell on electric guitars,  Glen Duncan on Acoustic Guitars and violin.  Kim Copeland did a fabulous job producing along with Kelly Schoenfeld handling all Of the highly skilled and challenging engineering, as this was no easy feat to incorporate spoken Scripture with music.   I'M AFRAID I'm afraid records the last night that the Lord Jesus has of earthy freedom before the soldiers come To take him away. How torture with the whipping was just brutal, they beat him and scourged him For hours on end before forcing him to carry his own heavy wooden cross up to Calvary where he Was to be crucified.    The main beam of the cross was stretched across his shoulders and weighed 80-100 Lbs, he had To carry this more than 600 yards uphill, he was beaten so badly and lost so much blood and bodily fluids, it has been said he barely looked human. I think it was astonishing that he even  survived the brutal beatings to get to the crucifixion.   As Jesus was in the Garden of gethsemane praying to his father, he had asked his disciples to stay Awake and keep watch while he prayed to his Father. These last hours were so terrifying for him that he began sweating blood as he could see the horrible and brutal torture he would be suffering over the next 24 hours. He returned to them several times to find them all asleep, which must have been even more exasperating for him.    He was so terrified that he asked his Father, “If it be possible please take this cup from my Hand, but I serve your command, although I'm Afraid”   Everyone played so well on this track and the featured violin playing by Glen Duncan was really Sweet and special. Shawn also added so many elements of drama with the swelling symbol  Effects as well.     IT IS FINISHED Captures the last moments of Jesus speaking to his Father as he is about to die a brutal Painful physical human death. The hours that led up to this had Jesus in court with Pontious Pilate, the Roman Governor of the province of Judea. Pilate knew this was a very highly  Charged political situation and even his wife was trying to influence him not to punish Jesus As she had dreams that he was indeed the messiah.   The Jews hated the fact that Jesus was being called the Son of God, and wanted know part Of it, they were screaming “Crucify him” in the town square where Pilate was presenting them A choice to free one prisoner as is customary before passover, he asked “do you want me to Free Barabas, or Jesus”?    We were having a bit of trouble with this one, as Christine suddenly said after tracking that it Was not sad enough, James Mitchell suggested to me to change up to a minor 6th and that Was exactly what it needed to give it that sad temperament in all the right places.  I remember writing this on my Strat and using a capo up around fret 4 or 5, just really Tore into it without any though whatsoever.   Its amazing how all the musicians picked up on the dynamics of the song just from that One very sparse and simple demo. Its another song completely run by the Holy Spirit,  All we needed to do was hang on and enjoy the ride!   After the vocal on this, I could not even come into the control room for a minute or two, It was almost an out of body experience.   Be blessed, and Happy Good Friday,   James~

Natalie Wood – en odödlig mix av Hollywoodglamour och hemska konspirationsteorier

Tre Oscarsnomineringar före 25 års ålder. Roller i såväl 'West Side Story', som 'Ung Rebell'. Men det som kommit att överskugga skådespelerskan Natalie Woods liv är hennes dramatiska död. Natalie Wood var en amerikansk superstjärna. Redan som barn inleddes hennes karriär, och på hennes axlar lades pressen att försörja sin familj. Hon lärde sig tidigt att vara alla till lags, och vikten av att alltid se perfekt ut. För att inte riskera att göra någon besviken. Men det var inte den polerade ytan som gjorde Natalie Wood så fascinerande att titta på, utan det var det som man kunde ana låg under den. Somliga har beskrivit det som att det där fanns en dröjande känsla av sorgsenhet, och bräcklighet.I början av 1980-talet hade hennes karriär börjat gå lite knackigare, såsom det då ofta gjorde för kvinnliga skådespelare när de nått 40 års ålder. Och det som närmast kommit att överskugga Natalie Woods liv och karriär, är hennes bortgång. 43 år gammal hittades hon, under en yacht-tur, drunknad. Hennes död bedömdes som en olycka, men många har ifrågasatt den slutsatsen och konspirationsteorierna kring vad som kan ha hänt tycks aldrig ta slut.I veckans Stil funderar vi kring vad det är med denna sorten så kallade true crime-mysterium som kan få människor att närmast viga sina liv åt att utreda sanningen. Vi ringer upp deckarförfattaren och kriminalreportern Tina Frennstedt, för att fråga varför denna typ av mörka gåtor har en förmåga att föranleda årtionden av intrikata spekulationer. I förra veckan släpptes artisten Lana del Reys nionde album och bidrog med skivomslaget till att åter rikta strålkastarljuset mot Natalie Wood. För omslaget är inspirerat av en bild på skådespelerskan, nämligen filmaffischen till This Property is Condemned, på vilken Natalie Wood syns med uppgiven uppsyn. Med författaren och kritikern Kristoffer Leandoer pratar vi om den mytologisering som sångerskan Lana del Rey omgärdar sig med, där referenser till tragiska öden från Hollywoods historia återkommande vävs in.Vi berättar även historien om en kvinna som kallats Hollywoods sämst bevarade hemligt, närmare bestämt spöksångerska Marni Nixon. Det var hon som fick uppdraget att dubba Natalie Woods sång i filmen West Side Story. Något som fick skådespelerskan att lacka ur. Men att bli dubbad var Natalie Wood långt ifrån ensam om. Under den här tiden hade få av de stora skådespelerskornas sångröster, som enligt filmbolagen, höll måttet. Om det berättar Kim Khavar Fahlstedt, filmforskaren vid Stockholms Universitet.Veckans gäst är Louise Wallenberg, professor i modevetenskap och forskare inom mode och film.

Kicking off our fifth season are the films of Robert Wise, arguably the most important director of the sixties – that is if you're going by box office profits. Despite the musical genre not being one he ever associated with before this decade, Wise almost single-handedly shaped the evolution of the Hollywood Musical. Previously known for his noirs and a few notable sci-fi and horror films, by the 1960s he became the director for two of the biggest movie musicals of all time. In this episode, Bart and Jenna cover these two Best Picture-winning films along with several other notable films that he made this decade – a couple of which are a highly prized by film lovers as his two mega-blockbusters. Though widely regarded as a gifted director with many beloved classics to his name, it's hard to put a finger on any distinct personality or trademarks he brings to his uniformly solid but varied films. Bart and Jenna attempt to pinpoint what, if anything, makes a film identifiably “Wisean” – a tought feat when you're trying to link up The Sound of Music with a depressingly realistic, toxic love and divorce drama. The following films are discussed:• West Side Story (1961) Directed by Robert Wise & Jerome Robbins Starring Natalie Wood, Richard Beymer, Rita Moreno• Two for the Seesaw (1962) Directed by Robert Wise Starring Robert Mitchum, Shirley MacLaine, Edmon Ryan• The Haunting (1963) Directed by Robert Wise Starring Julie Harris, Claire Bloom, Russ Tamblyn• The Sound of Music (1965) Directed by Robert Wise Starring Julie Andrews, Christopher Plummer, Eleanor Parker• The Sand Pebbles (1966) Directed by Robert Wise Starring Steve McQueen, Richard Attenborough, Mako• Star!

Today, in another of my Women's History Month episodes, I present to you the extraordinarily versatile, even chameleon-like singer and actor Marni Nixon (22 February 1930 - 24 July 2016), who is no doubt best-known today as the so-called “Ghostess with the Mostest.” Born into a musical family in California, she became involved from an early age with the movies, and by a marvelous set of circumstances became The Voice for a number of Hollywood actresses not known for their singing voices, among them Deborah Kerr in The King and I, Natalie Wood in West Side Story, and Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady. Her skill in matching the vocal and speech characteristics of each of these performers is exceptional, but she was so much more than that. She pioneered the work of many 20th century giants, including Igor Stravinsky, Arnold Schoenberg, Charles Ives, and Anton Webern. She hosted a local Seattled children's television program called Boomerang that netted her four Emmy Awards. She performed on opera stages and concert platforms around the world. She recorded widely, everything from Mary Poppins to Pierrot Lunaire, and in the mid-1970s was the first singer to perform and record Schoenberg's cabaret songs, his so-called Brettl-Lieder, works that are now standard repertoire. She studied with Viennese soprano Vera Schwarz as well as the iconic Lotte Lehmann, and actively performed and recorded for more than 50 years. Her late career saw an extraordinary return to the musical stage, where she starred in both new work and revivals both on and Off-Broadway. Guiding us along the trajectory of her career is my good friend Thomas Bagwell, currently a coach and conductor at The Royal Danish Opera in Copenhagen, who was a colleague and good friend of Marni Nixon's for the last 25 years of her life. His anecdotes and reminscences are interspersed with examples (often familiar, more often rare) of Marni's vast recorded legacy, which give testament not only to her versatility, but to her flawless musicality and depth of expression. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.
