WELCOME

From 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. Tickets at stgpresents.org or the Paramount Theatre box office.

What Really Happened… Rick Elice Talks About The Jersey Boys Phenomenon Playing The Paramount March 8–13 Forget about show-stopping finales. In Jersey Boys, the smash-hit musical 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 presentations 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 actors 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 institutionalized 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 incredible 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 reflection 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 20    SEATTLE THEATRE GROUP

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 musical 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 presented 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” instead of employing the much maligned “jukebox musical” moniker. “In the second act the music is more cunningly 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 client 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 bluecollar 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 recounts. “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 discovered 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 powerful hook,” he says. “We all know what it’s like to want acceptance, to want respect 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.” Diane Snyder is a freelance journalist whose work has appeared in Time Out New York, The Wall Street Journal and American Theatre.

Your Dollars @ Work AileyCamp Comes to Seattle!

AileyCampers participate in a personal development class at AileyCamp New York. Photo by Tiffany Batifort

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.
