I was searching the internet for theater, Broadway and musicals information to share with you. Here are some good postings I came across recently:
-
Richard Maltby, Jr. (#96) April, 2006
Lyricist and director Richard Maltby, Jr. talks about how he grew to be fond of Johnny Cash (who he never met) as he developed the musical “Ring of Fire”, recalls creating “Ain’t Misbehavin’” in the cabaret of the original Manhattan Theatre Club, describes the process of his four-decade-long collaboration with composer David Shire, explains his role in the writing of “Miss Saigon” and expresses some significant ambivalence over being labeled as “the father of the jukebox musical.” Original airdate - April 7, 2006.
Margot Harley (#135) January, 2007
Margot Harley, co-founder and Producing Artistic Director of The Acting Company, talks about the troupe’s origins as an outgrowth of the acting program at The Juilliard School in the early 70s, the challenges of touring serious drama as an ongoing series of one-night-stands around the country, and the state of actor training today; she also provides some insight into how her co-founder John Houseman made his professional acting debut so late in his illustrious life in the theatre. Original air date - January 19, 2007.
