WELCOMEFrom Seattle Theatre Group, a non-profit arts organization

We can’t imagine a better way to greet the new year than with this exciting return engagement of THE BOOK OF MORMON! We welcome this musical to The Paramount for the third time, in what will no doubt be another enjoyable run.

As we move into 2016 we want to note that this season offers a very special opportunity for us to present renowned composer and drummer Stewart Copeland and the Seattle Rock Orchestra in a live performance as part of our Trader Joe’s® Silent Movie Monday series.

In 1925, a fledgling film studio called Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer released a sprawling, epic, adaptation of Lew Wallace’s biblical novel, Ben Hur: A Tale of the Christ. The film’s production was beset with accidents and logistical nightmares, but Ben Hur was destined to become a classic, and has since gone down in cinematic history as one of the greatest silent films ever made.

In 2010, Stewart Copeland, famed drummer for the rock band The Police, was asked to compose a score for an arena spectacle celebrating Wallace’s original book. The spectacle played throughout Europe, including Munich, Rome, and at London’s O2 Arena, and in 2014 Copeland debuted a full-length score for the film at the Virginia Arts Festival. Copeland’s score, designed for an 84-minute edit of the film, will be brought to life at Seattle’s Paramount Theatre on February 29, 2016.

Perhaps best known for his rock star past with The Police, Copeland has since enjoyed a rich career composing for numerous films and television shows. In preparation for the Ben Hur soundtrack, he travelled to Istanbul to research the music of the region, and his score incorporates both traditional Middle Eastern elements and the dynamic, modern, percussive style for which he is known.

With over 150,000 actors and extras involved in shooting the film, Ben Hur was one of the most ambitious films of its time, and with a final budget of $3.9 million dollars, it remains the most expensive silent movie ever made. It boasts one of Hollywood’s most iconic action sequences, the famous Roman chariot race, which gripped audiences with its unprecedented intensity and was recreated nearly shot-for-shot in the 1959 remake of the same name. The chariot scene’s influence on filmmakers has endured over the years, and even left its mark on the Star Wars franchise, influencing director George Lucas’ staging of the pod race scene in Episode I: The Phantom Menace, released in 1999.

While the film initially fared poorly at the box office, among audiences and film critics a near-consensus was soon reached that director Fred Niblo had delivered something uniquely wonderful. The influential film magazine Photoplay wrote of Ben Hur in 1925: “The screen has yet to reveal anything more exquisitely moving than the scenes at Bethlehem, the blazing of the star in the heavens, the shepherds and the Wise Men watching...this is a truly great picture.” Eventually, the film would gross over ten million dollars, and was selected for preservation by the Library of Congress in 1997 in recognition of its lasting cultural significance.

“I wrote this humongous piece for orchestra and drum-set in support of this even bigger, humungous, film,” Copeland told the BBC in 2014, “the percussion section— they break a sweat [while performing Ben Hur]…I want to rock the house.”

STG and Trader Joe’s® are proud to host Stewart Copeland and the Seattle Rock Orchestra at the Paramount Theatre for this special cinematic event. Come experience this larger-than-life movie set to a larger-than-life score, and see for yourself why Ben Hur remains such a beloved classic.

Rick Elice Talks About The Jersey Boys PhenomenonPlaying The Paramount March 8–13

Forget.about.show-stopping.finales..In.Jersey.Boys,.the.smash-hit.musi-cal.about.the.rise.and.fall.of.The.Four.Seasons,.the.pinnacle.of.excitement.comes.about.45.minutes.into.the.first.act..That’s.when.back-to-back.presenta-tions.of.three.of.the.group’s.biggest.hits.—.“Sherry,”.“Big.Girls.Don’t.Cry”.and.“Walk.Like.a.Man”.—.are.greeted.with.enough.thunderous.applause.to.start.a.downpour.

“At.that.moment.the.a.udience.has.forgotten.they’re.watching.four.ac-tors.and.they.root.for.these.four.guys.as.though.they.really.are.The.Four.Seasons.in.their.youth,”.says.Rick.Elice,.one.of.the.show’s.book.writers..“The.response.is.so.sincere.and.enthusiastic.and.over.the.top.that.it’s.impossible.to.believe.anything.else.”

It’s.also.somewhat.surprising..After.all,.The.Four.Seasons.may.have.been.one.of.the.most.successful.groups.of.the.1960s,.but.history.hasn’t.insti-tutionalized.them.the.way.it.has.the.Beatles.or.other.bands.popular.with.that.era’s.counterculture..But.Elice.thinks.that’s.one.reason.why.fans.are.so.hungry.for.their.music.and.the.incred-ible.story.of.four.Italian-American.kids.from.the.wrong.side.of.the.New.Jersey.tracks.who.could.just.as.easily.have.ended.up.in.prison.as.on.the.pop.charts..

“In.many.ways.the.band.was.a.reflec-tion.of.the.people.who.were.buying.their.records,”.Elice.notes..“They.didn’t.have.long.hair.or.accents..There.was.no.glamour.quotient.to.them.at.all,.which.is.why.they.were.never.written.about..For.fans.of.the.band,.the.show.is.an.edification.of.who.they.are,.because.the.cultural.establishment.ignored.them.too..These.weren’t.the.people.who.went.

What Really Happened…

down.to.Washington.and.marched.against.the.war;.these.were.the.guys.who.shipped.out.and.went.to.Vietnam..And.the.respect.that.the.band.is.getting.all.these.years.later.somehow.feels.like.respect.for.them.too.”

In.fact,.before.working.on.Jersey.Boys,.The.Four.Seasons.song.that.most.resonated.with.Elice.(pronounced.“Ellis”).was.“Can’t.Take.My.Eyes.Off.You,”.because.characters.in.The.Deer.Hunter.sing.it.just.before.they.go.to.Vietnam..But.he.and.his.Oscar-winning.co-author,.screenwriter.Marshall.Brickman.(Annie Hall),.probably.were.more.familiar.with.Vivaldi’s.Four.Seasons.than.pop.music’s.when.they.began.work.on.the.show,.a.first.musi-cal.for.them.both..Des.McAnuff,.on.the.other.hand,.the.Tony-winning.director.behind.The.Who’s.Tommy,.was.a.huge.fan.of.the.group.(the.first.album.he.ever.bought.was.a.Four.Seasons.one),.and.he.helped.to.shape.the.show.from.its.early.stages..

While.other.musicals.have.tried.to.capitalize.on.a.group’s.catalog.of.songs.by.integrating.them.into.the.plot,.the.writers.agreed.with.McAnuff.that.their.

staging.should.be.presentational,.as.if.The.Four.Seasons.were.performing.the.songs.to.an.audience,.not.singing.them.from.one.character.to.another..

“In.the.first.act.the.songs.are.present-ed.pretty.much.chronologically,.as.they.took.place.within.the.life.of.the.band,”.explains.Elice,.who.prefers.to.describe.Jersey.Boys.as.a.“play.with.music”.in-stead.of.employing.the.much.maligned.“jukebox.musical”.moniker..“In.the.second.act.the.music.is.more.cun-ningly.chosen.to.reflect.either.directly.or.by.contrast.what.the.band.is.going.through.at.the.point.where.things.start.to.fall.apart.”.As.members.leave.the.group.one.by.one,.it’s.to.a.medley.of.“Stay,”.“Let’s.Hang.On.(To.What.We’ve.Got),”.“Opus.17.(Don’t.You.Worry.’Bout.Me)”.and.“Bye,.Bye,.Baby.”

Jersey.Boys.was.born.when.Elice,.for.many.years.the.creative.director.of.Broadway.advertising.agency.Serino.Coyne,.was.contacted.by.a.former.cli-ent.who.had.the.option.on.The.Four.Seasons.catalog..Elice.had.written.a.couple.of.plays.and.always.wanted.to.work.with.Brickman,.who.was.a.poker.buddy..But.as.they.interviewed.the.

three.surviving.Seasons,.they.faced.a.predicament.over.how.to.tell.the.group’s.“true”.story.when.they.couldn’t.even.figure.out.what.it.was..

Elice.and.Brickman.met.with.Bob.Gaudio.and.Frankie.Valli,.the.two.Seasons.who,.way.back.when,.formed.a.business.partnership.with.a.handshake.that.still.stands.today..“They.started.to.describe.what.it.was.like.to.be.blue-collar.kids,.first-generation.Americans,.Roman.Catholic,.high.school.dropouts.who.were.flirting.with.careers.in.crime.in.an.environment.where.people.had.two.pictures.on.the.living.room.wall:.the.Pope.and.Frank.Sinatra,”.Elice.re-counts..“It.was.the.archetypal.American.rags-to-riches.story:.You.start.with.nothing,.achieve.success.and.then.try.to.navigate.your.life.through.the.waters.of.success.”

But.when.they.contacted.Tommy.DeVito,.the.initial.driving.force.behind.the.group.until.gambling.debts.put.him.on.the.outs.with.the.mob,.“He.said,.‘Don’t.listen.to.them,.I’ll.tell.you.what.really.happened,’”.Elice.recalls..That’s.when.they.decided.to.structure.the.show.the.Rashomon.way,.by.letting.each.character.tell.his.own.account..As.Tommy.says.at.the.beginning.of.the.show,.“You.ask.four.guys,.you.get.four.different.versions.”

Each.Season.narrates.a.portion.of.the.story,.including.bass.player.Nick.Massi,.who.died.in.2000.and.left.the.group.at.the.height.of.its.popularity.without.much.explanation..Brickman.and.Elice.drew.their.portrait.of.him.from.the.memories.of.the.other.survivors..“There.was.a.great.mystery.to.Nick,”.Elice.says..“Today.you.would.call.him.obsessive-compulsive.with.sort.of.a.

sideline.in.sexual.addiction..One.day.we.realized.the.correlative.for.Nick.would.be.to.think.of.him.as.the.Ringo.of.the.band..In.any.group.there’s.going.to.be.someone.who’s.off.to.the.side.”

That.gave.them.the.chance.to.focus.on.the.Tommy-Frankie-Bob.dynamic.that.first.propels.The.Four.Seasons.to.the.top.of.the.charts.and.eventually.breaks.them.apart..“This.was.really.a.love.triangle.—.without.any.sexual.component,”.Elice.observes..“There.was.Tommy,.who.dis-covered.Frankie.when.he.was.a.teenager.and.held.the.trio.group.of.Tommy,.Nick.and.Frankie.together.when.they.were.a.cover.band..Then.Bob,.this.new,.young.talent.came.on.the.scene,.and.Frankie.turned.away.from.Tommy.and.turned.toward.Bob.because.Frankie.and.Bob.were.simpatico.”.

Valli.and.Gaudio.saw.in.each.other.what.the.group.needed.to.succeed:.Gaudio,.already.a.songwriting.prodigy.when.he.joined.the.group,.wrote.or.co-wrote.many.of.the.group’s.signature.songs,.which.accentuated.Valli’s.vast.vocal.range.and.commanding.falsetto..DeVito,.meanwhile,.piled.up.a.huge.debt..But.by.then.the.Seasons.were.more.than.just.a.group:.They’d.become.a.family,.and.that.put.their.loyalty.to.the.test..“Tommy.gave.Frankie.and.Bob.an.opportunity.to.do.what.families.always.do,”.Elice.says..“No.matter.what.kind.of.betrayals.occur.you.always.stand.up.for.another.person.in.the.family.because.the.ties.that.bind.are.so.strong.”.DeVito.may.also.have.been.dealing.with.his.own.family.issues..As.The.Four.Seasons.climbed.the.charts,.his.brother,.who.once.had.been.part.of.the.band,.was.behind.bars..

And.for.Elice,.that’s.the.essence.of.the.show.—family..“That.was.a.very.power-ful.hook,”.he.says..“We.all.know.what.it’s.like.to.want.acceptance,.to.want.re-spect.and.to.try.to.find.a.sense.of.home.with.people.that.are.not.just.the.family.we’re.born.into.but.the.family.that.we.choose.”.

AileyCamp changes lives… One young AileyCamp Berkeley participant, who is now a junior staff member, described in her own words:

When I was 12 and arrived at AileyCamp, I was angry, drinking, having a hard time in school, and not living with my Mom because we were always fighting. I didn’t understand why I was feeling and acting that way until I experienced the personal development class at AileyCamp. For the first time in my life, I was around adults who believed in my potential. The personal development classes helped me understand why I was confused and angry. AileyCamp literally changed my life.

We don’t know exactly how many young people may be going through the same thing that this young woman experienced, but we are committed to assuring that at least 60 kids, ages 11–14 from our community are given a chance to succeed, like she did.

AileyCamp is a free six-week program that combines professional level dance training with personal development courses and activities to ignite the uniqueness, brilliance, and creativity in every camper.

The Seattle Theatre Group AileyCamp launches in June 2016. To ensure that 60 kids from our community have this very special opportunity, we’re asking for your support to provide:

• Free transportation to and from camp daily for 6 weeks

• Free meals and all needed materials

• Equitable access to a life-changing experience

• Each full scholarship = $4,440

• Cost per week of camp = $740

• Camp cost per day per camper = $148

• Transportation cost per camper = $1000

• Meal cost per week per camper = $420

• Class materials per camper = $41

• Camp attire per camper = $125

Lend your support to Seattle Theatre Group AileyCamp!

Our goal is to underwrite 60 campers for the full 6-week program, with your help. To date, 28 scholarships have been underwritten thanks to many generous individuals and the following corporate and community supporters.

Boeing, USI Kibble & Prentice, Zaki Rose, Schultz Family Foundation, Plum Creek Foundation, Jubilation Foundation.

To learn more or pledge your support, contact Maura Ahearne at [email protected], or 206-467-5510 x 1148.

AileyCampers participate in a personal development class at AileyCamp New York.
