Disney's Newsies Plays Atlanta's Fox Theatre!

Hello and welcome to New York City, late 19th century - 1899 to be exact.

It's the age of the printing press; the age of newspaper barons; and the age of newspaper boys - also known as Newsies.  That's where Disney's story begins, takes place, and ends.

Disney's Newsies, a highly-successful Broadway play, is currently touring the United States.  This week, it visits The Fox Theatre in Atlanta.

The musical, featuring a score by eight-time Academy Award® winner Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and Sister Act) and Jack Feldman and a book by four-time Tony® Award winner Harvey Fierstein (La Cage aux Folles, Torch Song Trilogy), will play here through Sunday, January 25.    

The play opened Tuesday night to a packed house.  Children were in attendance, and as always, I like to let you know when it is and when it is not appropriate to take them.  I believe this play is appropriate for children, although keep in mind, just because it is branded Disney does not make it a fairytale suitable for all ages.  Tweens and teens would be fine to see this play.  Aspiring and budding theatrical young adults will love it, and it will inspire them to reach for greater heights.

Newsies follows the story of Jack Kelly, one of the homeless and orphaned children who sell newspapers in New York City during the 1890s to support themselves. Jack and his fellow newsboys work for Joseph Pulitzer selling his newspaper, the New York World, on the streets of Manhattan.  The story ebbs and flows and follows Jack and his subsequent battle and strike against Mr. Pulitzer and the New York World.  As you can imagine, the story ends with the Newsies victorious.

The story of Jack Kelly and the strike he helped lead is based on the true-story of a Newsies strike which occurred in 1899.  Most of the characters are fictional, but it was so interesting to hear the story and learn about this part of our Nation's history.

Originally, Newsies was only supposed to last for a limited time on New York City's Broadway circuit, but after receiving much critical and public acclaim, it was extended to an open-ended run.  The show went on to earn 8 Tony Award nominations including Best Musical, Best Choreography, and Best Original Score.  (It won two of those nominations.)

Disney's touring troupe is nothing less than spectacular.  It is full of young actors who fill the stage with their high energy and amazing talent, bringing the 1890s to life.  If you are a theatre or Newsies buff, you are probably familiar with a lot of the songs and dance numbers from the show.  Some of the more famous are "Santa Fe" and "Seize the Day."

Here are those two numbers, performed in 2011, on Disney-owned ABC's, "The View:"

Are you a Fansie?  If so, drive to Atlanta's Fox Theatre before the Newsies run ends.  It won't be here long, and you absolutely do not want to miss this show!  Heck, I may even go back a second time....

Check out this short video showcasing the National Touring Group.  Some pretty amazing talent here!

AT THE FOX THEATRE JULY 8-13

Atlanta audiences are set to take a trip under the sea with Disney’s family friendly extravaganza Disney’s The Little Mermaid, featuring bright, inventive sets and dazzling costumes! 

This fun-filled, timeless tale will come to life on stage July 8-13 at the Fox Theatre, kicking off the Fifth Third Bank Broadway in Atlanta 2014/2015 series.

Ticket prices start at $30.  Tickets are available at the Fox Theatre box office (660 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA 30308), by visiting www.foxtheatre.org, or by calling 1-855-285-8499. Group orders of 10 or more may be placed by calling 404-881-2000.

            Sunday                       1:00 p.m., 6:30 p.m.

In a magical kingdom fathoms below, we will meet Ariel, the little mermaid who is tired of flipping her fins and longs to be part of the fascinating world on dry land. Joining her are Sebastian, Ariel’s crabby sidekick; Ursula, the evil sea witch; Triton, King of the Sea; and the handsome and human, Prince Eric.

Based on the Disney animated film and hit Broadway musical, The Little Mermaid is making its Atlanta debut.  Featuring all the audience favorites such as “Under The Sea” and “Part of Your World” as well as new songs written by Oscar-winning Disney tunesmith Alan Menken, the mastermind behind productions such as Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and Pocahontas.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram praised this production as “a thoroughly entertaining theatrical experience, especially appreciated by kids who love the movie — and their parents and grandparents.”  The Dallas Morning News claims, “The Little Mermaid reels in the gold,” and Theater Jones says, “The Little Mermaid hooks the audience and keeps them captivated.”

Casting has been announced, and this musical boasts several acclaimed Broadway and stage veterans:

Jessica Grové (Ariel) played in Broadway’s A Little Night Music, Sunday in the Park with George, Thoroughly Modern Millie, and Les Misérables. She also toured nationally in The Boy Friend.

Eric Kunze (Prince Eric) appeared on Broadway in Damn Yankees, Miss Saigon, and Les Misérables.

Liz McCartney (Ursula) boasts Broadway credits such as Annie, South Pacific, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Mamma Mia!, and The Phantom of the Opera.

Christian Probst (Flounder) has acted in several regional theatres, most recently in musicals such as Beauty and the Beast, Mame, Peter Pan, Oliver!, and The Sound of Music.

Alan Mingo, Jr. (Sebastian) performed on Broadway in Glory Days, The Little Mermaid, and Rent. He lists Shrek, Hairspray, and The Lion King among his work in national tours.

Steve Blanchard (King Triton) lists Beauty and the Beast, Camelot, and The Three Musketeers as his Broadway experience. Blanchard also toured nationally in Camelot.

Leading the creative team as director is Glenn Casale, who directed Broadway’s Peter Pan starring Cathy Rigby.  Internationally, he directed Disney’s The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. Casale’s work has been seen throughout the United States in productions of Dr. Dolittle, Ballroom, Wrestlers, From the Top, Camelot, and The Prisoner of Second Avenue.

John MacInnis will choreograph The Little Mermaid.  He most recently choreographed the European productions of the same show as well as Beauty and the Beast in more than five European countries.  In 2011, he worked on the Tony Award–winning musical The Book of Mormon. Other credits include the Radio City Christmas Spectacular as well as the Olympic Medals Ceremonies at the 2002 and 2012 Winter Olympic Games.

Craig Barna will serve as the musical director and conductor.  He previously worked as the musical director for the Broadway productions of Peter and the Wolf, Peter Pan, Jesus Christ Superstar, and for the national tours of Camelot, Cats, Singin’ in the Rain, and Grease.  Charlie Morrison will join on board as the lighting designer, and Kit Bond will be the sound designer.

The Little Mermaid’s flying sequence choreographer, Paul Rubin, "The Fly Guy", has choreographed some of the most memorable flying sequences including everything from the Tony Award winning Broadway production of Wicked to Cathy Rigby's Emmy Award winning DVD of Peter Pan.    

I am so excited I can barely stand it!  What about you?  Do you have your tickets yet?

Disney's "The Lion King" ROARS into Atlanta's Fox Theatre!

Wow.  What more can be said besides, "WOW?"  ...and ALL CAPS at that.

By now, almost all of us have seen (or surely heard of) Disney's once most-successful animated feature, "The Lion King."  (The Lion King was recently toppled as Disney's most-successful animated film by the blockbuster Frozen.)

This stage adaptation of the famous movie has been going strong and shows no signs of slowing down as it approaches its 20-year Anniversary.  You may remember this little 15th Anniversary celebration on Good Morning America a few years ago.  It is, arguably, one of the most well-known and popular musical numbers from the show, "Circle of Life:"

Nothing stirs a Disney fan's heart more than the first uttering of song from Rafiki, where our primate friend calls out to the Prideland, summoning one and all to come and gather at Pride Rock for a presentation of the newest cub to the pride's royal family.  It has been said this first song creates such a rich African tapestry that it immediately transports us into the beauty and awesomeness of the African savannah.

I was more than blessed last night to receive media tickets for this event.  Lucky for me, the media tickets this go 'round (you never know where they might be located) where Orchestra level, left center.  As a true Disney and Lion King fan, I was elated when Brave PR handed me the ticket envelope and I opened it up to see the location.  I felt like Charlie when he had been given that last candy bar, and he slowly unwrapped it to see the golden ticket inside.

I quickly made my way to my seat and buckled in.  The last time I saw this performance was at Atlanta's Civic Center, and my family was high in the balcony.  All I could do was look down.  Tonight, I was going to be seated right in the middle of the action!

In case you are unfamiliar with The Lion King musical play, let me clue you in on a little secret -- the play begins from the BACK of house.  The animals make their way to the stage (Pride Rock) from the back of the theatre, down through the aisles, and up two sets of staircases to the Savannah -- elephants, wildebeests, birds, antelopes, and more.  It is a sight to behold.  Imagine hearing children and adults alike gasping, cheering, and clapping when they realized what was going on all around them. 

I said this last night, and I'll say it again now -- any play that is put on by Broadway ATL is top notch, but when you combine that with the level of quality that only Disney can provide - well, there is just too much musical magic for any one person.

As the play continued, it was all I expected it to be, and I could not have been happier.  I have heard about this play for years, and the Atlanta Fox Theatre production did not disappoint.  The Lion King is rich and abundant in African scenery, deep colors, and flavored music.  Music we have all listened to and loved for 20 years still sounds as fresh and as fun as it did in the 90s.  The theatrical production is a mirror image of the animated film, with a few more songs (written by Tim Rice and Elton John) added in.

The play runs two and a half hours long, with one 15-minute intermission, so make sure all bathroom breaks and concessions are secured before the show starts.  Also, the theatre has a 10-minute seating hold, so keep that in mind if you are running late.  You will not be permitted to enter the theatre until after the opening number since the cast and crew are actually making their way to the stage thru the house.

The actors and actresses in this play are nothing less than amazing - strong talent - from acting and singing to the puppetry arts (including two SUPERB younger talents - 10-year olds Jordan Hall as Simba and Nya Carter as Nala).

I was amazed at how many of the people around me shouted out, cheered, and gave standing ovations.  I love when adults, not just children, get wrapped up in Disney and the arts.

The Lion King will be having a long run here in Atlanta -- three weeks, playing now through April 27th.  The show plays Tuesday through Thursday evenings at 7:30PM, Friday and Saturday evenings at 8:00PM, and Sunday evenings at 6:30PM, as well as matinees on Saturday at 2:00PM and Sundays at 1:00PM.  (A special weekday matinee will take place on Thursday, April 17 at 2:00PM.) 

Tickets are available at the Fox Theatre Box Office (660 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA 30308), online at www.foxtheatre.org, or by calling 1-855-ATL-TIXX.  Orders for groups of twenty (20) or more may be placed by calling 404-881-2000.

I highly recommend you go see The Lion King while you have an opportunity.  It is always a special time for the arts in Atlanta when Disney comes to town.

I leave you with this "rousing" number by Scar (the villain of our show), just posted by The Lion King's facebook page, along a few astonishing facts.

Interesting facts about The Lion King:

• Ten times a day, all over the world, the cry in the African language of Zulu rings out in a darkened theater:  "Nants ingonyama bagithi baba!  Sithi uhhmm ingonyama!"  ("Here comes a lion, Father.  Oh yes, it's a lion.")
  
  
• The North American travel company travels in 18 trucks (14 are tractor-trailers that haul duplicates of everything)!
  
  
• Each city The Lion King travels to needs one week of set up before the show arrives and opens.
  
  
• The Lion King is the highest-grossing show in Broadway history!
  
  
• The Lion King still fills it's Broadway home to capacity, 17 years later!
  
  
• The Lion King uses six African native languages, and all companies include native South African performers (the Atlanta show has six).
  
  
• The original Broadway recording of The Lion King can be listened to for **FREE** on Spotify!

ABOUT THE LION KING

In its 17^th year, THE LION KING remains ascendant; it is the highest-grossing Broadway show in New York history and one of the most popular stage musicals in the world.  Since its Broadway premiere on November 13, 1997, 21 global productions have been seen by more than 70 million people and, cumulatively, run a staggering 104 years.  Produced by Disney Theatrical Productions (under the direction of Thomas Schumacher), THE LION KING is only the second show in history to generate five productions worldwide running 10 or more years.  Translated into eight different languages (Japanese, German, Korean, French, Dutch, Mandarin, Spanish, and Portuguese), productions of THE LION KING can currently be seen on Broadway and on tour across North America, in Tokyo and on tour in Japan, in London’s West End and on tour throughout the UK, and in Hamburg, Madrid and Sao Paolo.  To date, THE LION KING has played 18 countries on every continent except Antarctica. 

Among the most successful titles in entertainment history, with a cumulative gross in excess of $5 billion, the stage production of THE LION KING has already earned more than the biggest hit films in movie history: more than the Lord of the Rings trilogy combined, more than the six Star Wars films combined, and more than Avatar and Titanic, the two highest-grossing films in movie history, combined.

The award-winning musical will celebrate a new milestone in December 2013 when it returns to Australia, making it the tenth concurrent worldwide production of THE LION KING, the highest number of productions running at any one time in the show’s history.    

THE LION KING won six 1998 Tony^® Awards:  Best Musical, Best Scenic Design (Richard Hudson), Best Costume Design (Julie Taymor), Best Lighting Design (Donald Holder), Best Choreography (Garth Fagan) and Best Direction of a Musical.  THE LION KING has also earned more than 70 major arts awards including the 1998 NY Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Musical, the 1999 Grammy® for Best Musical Show Album, the 1999 Evening Standard Award for Theatrical Event of the Year and the 1999 Laurence Olivier Awards for Best Choreography and Best Costume Design. 

The show’s director, costume designer and mask co-designer Julie Taymor continues to play an integral part in the show’s ongoing success.  The first woman to win a Tony^® Award for Direction of a Musical, Taymor has in recent years supervised new productions of the show in Las Vegas, Madrid and the UK tour and just completed casting the Brazilian production in Sao Paolo.

The Broadway score features Elton John and Tim Rice’s music from The Lion King animated film along with three new songs by John and Rice; additional musical material by South African Lebo M, Mark Mancina, Jay Rifkin, Julie Taymor and Hans Zimmer; and music from "Rhythm of the Pride Lands," an album inspired by the original music in the film, written by Lebo M, Mark Mancina and Hans Zimmer.  The resulting sound of THE LION KING is a fusion of Western popular music and the distinctive sounds and rhythms of Africa, ranging from the Academy Award®-winning song “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” to the haunting ballad “Shadowland.” 

The book has been adapted by Roger Allers, who co-directed The Lion King animated feature, and Irene Mecchi, who co-wrote the film’s screenplay.  Other members of the creative team include:  Michael Curry, who designed the masks and puppets with Taymor, Steve Canyon Kennedy (sound design), Michael Ward (hair and makeup design), John Stefaniuk (associate director), Marey Griffith (associate choreographer), Clement Ishmael (music supervisor) and Doc Zorthian (production supervisor). Anne Quart serves as associate producer.
