Grand Hotel

This Palm Photo is a little blurry but has a lot of atmosphere. It doesn’t do justice to the beautiful costumes created by Mark Mariani, either. Let’s be honest, it sucks, but it’s the best I’ve got til Jarrod sends me some of the shots he took. But the production is mighty handsome, and all those within driving distance should hie themselves to the Merriam Theater this weekend.

The New York Times publishedthis review of Sondheim’s Company at the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, and I must confess I got all goose-pimply reading about it. But that’s how big a geek I am, I guess. As someone who knows the piece well and loves it, I regard this directorial concept as being particularly exciting. The picture above comes from a gallery on the www.cincyplay.com website.

The Korean “Les Miserables”?
Posted on March 15, 2006

A google search on the title “Yoduk Story” will yield many hits like this article in the VOA News, which tells of North Korean writer/director Sung Jeong San’s efforts to produce a new musical about the cruelty found in a North Korean prison camp. “Yoduk Story” is named after a prison camp where North Koreans are sent for even minor political crimes – a name that resonates like “Auschwitz” for Korean audiences. While musicals are popular with South Korean audiences, they tend to favor escapist fare like “Grease” and “The Producers”; the director, meanwhile, envisions his story as a Korean version of “Les Miserables.” Here’s a link to another article about the same production, which opens tonight. Many stories mention how the young director had to pledge a kidney as collateral in order to borrow $20,000 from a loan shark in order to finance his production. Who says doing musicals doesn’t take guts?
