JERRY HERMAN (Music and Lyrics) There is never an evening when, somewhere in the world, the music and lyrics of Jerry Herman are not being sung by a lady in a red headdress, or a lady with a bugle, or a middle-aged man in a wig and a boa. Hello, Dolly!; Mame ; and La Cage aux Folles are home to some of the most popular, most-often performed, and most successful musical hero(in)es of all time, and have given Jerry the distinction of being the only composer-lyricist in history to have had three musicals that ran more than 1,500 consecutive performances on Broadway. His first Broadway show was Milk and Honey (1961); followed by Hello, Dolly! (1964); Mame (1966); Dear World (1969); Mack & Mabel (1974); The Grand Tour (1979); La Cage aux Folles (1983); Jerry’s Girls (1985); and Mrs. Santa Claus (1996), a CBS TV special starring Angela Lansbury. Two of Jerry’s classic songs are the emotional highlights of the hit Disney-Pixar film WALL-E. His string of awards and honors includes multiple Tonys, Grammys, Drama Desk, the Kennedy Center, the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the Theatre Hall of Fame.

PROGRAM NOTES

By JOSHUA S. RITTERGoodspeed Education & Library Director

An unprecedented triumph of the Parisian theatre world, Jean Poiret’s hilarious farce La Cage aux Folles premiered at the Théâtre du Palais-Royal on February 1, 1973. This wildly popular comedy ran for nearly 1,800 performances and was adapted into a 1978 film seen by more than five million people in France. It premiered in the US in 1979 and became the highest grossing foreign language film in US history at that time, with domestic box office revenues exceeding $20 million. It was also nominated for three Oscars, including best screenplay. The film spun off two additional sequels, La Cage aux Folles II in 1980 and La Cage aux Folles: The Wedding in 1985, as well as a separate 1996 American film adaptation of the play, The Birdcage. But, most importantly for musical theatre fans, a big, fabulous, splashy, old-fashioned musical adaptation of the play opened on Broadway at the Palace Theatre in 1983.

Yet, before the plumed and spangled “Cagelles” could kick their way onto the Great White Way, there were some challenges to overcome. For example, La Cage aux Folles the musical almost had a completely different creative team and title. In 1976, Hollywood producer Allan Carr was itching to produce his first Broadway musical when he attended the play La Cage aux Folles in Paris. Encouraged by the appeal of the play, he decided to produce an Americanized musical adaptation to be set in New Orleans titled: The Queen of Basin Street. Carr hired Jay Presson Allen to write the book, Maury Yeston to compose the score, Mike Nichols to direct, and Tommy Tune to choreograph. A dispute led to members of the team dropping out, and the project seemed doomed. Despite this false start, Carr believed in the material and began anew. He negotiated a settlement with Yeston and replaced him with composer Jerry Herman. Next, they approached Harvey Fierstein, whose successful play Torch Song Trilogy was breaking new ground in the theatre, and invited him to pen his first Broadway libretto. Carr persuaded theatre veteran Arthur Laurents to direct once Herman and Fierstein

were on board. The new creative team agreed to revert to the original setting in St. Tropez, France and use the title La Cage aux Folles.

La Cage aux Folles eventually became the standout hit of the Broadway season and the first long-running musical about a gay couple. Everyone was petrified on the night of the first out-of-town tryout. As Arthur Laurents recalled, “Eight o’clock. The Colonial Theatre, Boston. A lovely evening in early summer, and I am more frightened than I have ever been in my theatrical life…the exhausted performers are doubly frightened. Because no audience has ever seen this show. And how, how are these good Bostonians going to react to an American musical which begins with drag queens and ends with two male lovers walking off into a metaphorical sunset, arms around each other?” He goes on to describe the elation they felt when they realized that the show worked: “And then Gene sings, so simply, so truly; and when he finished, the audience applauds as I have never heard an audience applaud a ballad

PROGRAM NOTES

before. I begin pounding Harvey who sits in front of me, saying over and over: “It works, it works!”

La Cage aux Folles played to standing-room-only audiences and shattered box office records at Boston’s Colonial Theatre. It opened for previews at the Palace Theatre on Broadway with advance ticket sales of over $3.5 million and it was the first musical to charge a whopping $47.50 for orchestra seats. La Cage aux Folles went on to sweep the 1983-84 Tony Awards with six wins, including Best Musical. The original Broadway production ran for more than four years, playing 1,762 performances. La Cage aux Folles later made history by winning the Tony Award for Best Revival twice, first in 2004 and again in 2010.What’s more, it is the musical that gave us such Herman gems as “The Best of Times,” “Song on the Sand,” and “I Am What I Am.’’ The impact and broad appeal of La Cage aux Folles are self-evident; it is a hilarious, tuneful show that conveys the importance of love, family and acceptance.

Director Rob Ruggiero (Goodspeed’s Fiddler on the Roof, The Most Happy Fella, Carousel, Show Boat, Annie Get Your Gun, Camelot, Big River, and 1776 ) endeavors to delight audiences with a La Cage aux Folles that will be grounded in family and relationships without compromising the outrageous and amusing aspects of the show. Ruggiero intends to anchor the story of an untraditional family through realistic and believable casting choices. Regarding the technical aspects of the show, Ruggiero states, “Our set designer, Michael Schweikardt, has outdone himself with a set that is deliciously over the top, glamorous, and very pink!. It is not only beautiful, but skillfully re-invents itself with imaginative scenic gestures. Michael McDonald has designed an array of dazzling and spangled costumes to enhance this exotic world.” Ruggiero is excited to share Jerry Herman’s brilliant music and Harvey Fierstein’s remarkable comic writing with Goodspeed audiences. We hope you enjoy this timeless musical that has been a source of strength, entertainment, and inspiration for so many people.

GOODSPEED MUSICALS | 2015 SEASON 27

WHERE WE’VE BEENGoodspeed’s beginnings date back to 1963 when it opened its doors as a professional musical theatre in an historic building on the banks of the Connecticut River in East Haddam. Under the direction of Michael Price from 1968 to 2014, Goodspeed transformed from a struggling entity into a non-profit arts organization with a mission. At first Goodspeed’s commitment was to discover rarely produced musicals from the repertoire, reworking them and bringing them to life. It was also intent on adding to the repertoire by discovering and nurturing promising new musicals presented at its Norma Terris Theatre in neighboring Chester.

In our history, we have produced over 250 musicals, including over 70 world premieres, and exported 19 productions to Broadway. Goodspeed stands as the first regional theatre in America to earn two special Tony Awards, one in 1980 for outstanding contributions to the American musical and a second in 1995 for distinguished achievement for a regional theatre.

WHO WE ARE TODAYGoodspeed mounts both new and newly revived musicals on its main stage at the Opera House and on its second stage in Chester– a total of more than 400 performances during the April to December season, attracting 130,000 patrons to the Connecticut River Valley. It stands at the forefront of producing and preserving the American musical, simultaneously reinventing the classics and inventing new ones. It attracts well-known icons of the theatre world and fosters emerging talent among composers, lyricists, and librettists. Each year, thousands of actors, directors, choreographers, and technicians aspire to come to Goodspeed to practice their craft. Among millions who know and love this art form, – and those who appreciate its history and enduring appeal – Goodspeed is widely recognized as “The Home of the American Musical.”

Throughout the year, and intensively during the winter months, Goodspeed addresses issues unique to the field by offering innovative and highly-sought after programs through its Max Showalter Center for Education in Musical Theatre, including the celebrated Arts Education Collaboration which provides programs for underserved children and teens. The Festival of New Musicals features students from the Hartt School and the Boston Conservatory performing staged readings of three brand new musicals, industry-related seminars, a symposium and cabaret performances. Each winter, Goodspeed also hosts the Johnny Mercer Foundation Writers Colony that invites musical theatre writing teams to retreat from daily life for a four week residency and concentrate solely on writing new musicals. In addition, Goodspeed serves as a resource for the preservation of the art form through its Scherer Library of musical Theatre, the second most extensive musical theatre research library in the United States.

THE FUTURE WE ENVISIONThe Goodspeed campus will continue to serve as a thriving artist colony where the creative process informs the work on our stages and expanding educational programs. We aspire to serve as a safe haven where a singular commitment to discovery and innovation will enrich the field with the next generation of musical theatre artists.

ABOUT GOODSPEED MUSICALS

28 GOODSPEED MUSICALS | 2015 SEASON

The Goodspeed Opera House has endured as a majestic presence on the Connecticut River since it was built in 1876 by William H. Goodspeed, a shipping and banking magnate and avid theatre lover. Since that time, the Opera House has lived two lives: the first as a bustling center of commerce, housing a theatre, professional offices, steamboat passenger terminal, and a general store; and the second, after a period of neglect and deterioration, as a magnificent professional musical theatre fully restored in 1963 to its original splendor.

Goodspeed’s history goes back to its opening night on October 24, 1877, when a repertory group presented the comedy Charles II and the farces Box and Cox and Turn Him Out. Featured performers of the day were brought to East Haddam by steamboat, many directly from theatres in New York.

After William Goodspeed’s death, the theatre was eventually sold and used as a storage depot for the State Highway Department. The building was marked for demolition in 1958, but local preservationists became interested, and in 1959 The Goodspeed Opera House Foundation was organized to restore and reactivate the theatre. With the cooperation of the State of Connecticut and the support of donor-members, the Goodspeed Opera House was restored and rededicated on June 18, 1963 with the opening of the musical Oh Lady! Lady!!
