CURTAINS
A Mystery Musical & Choreographer
ROB ASHFORD Part 1
There quiet, unassuming and sometimes shy and looking at them you wouldn't think they can control the movement of large groups of people, no there not Generals, or Captains of Armies but Choreographers of Dance. They look like any regular person you might pass in the street like Peter Parker before he turns into Spiderman, in fact Rob reminds me of Toby McGuire.
But in the case of CURTAINS starring DAVID HYDE PIERCE & DEBBRA MONK the powers and abilities of choreographer ROB ASHFORD, depends on the kindness with others, as we explore the working relationship of the Choreographer and his Director Scott Ellis as they interpret the Rupert Holmes and Peter Stone murder mystery with the music and lyrics of John Kandor and Fred Ebb.
Rob talks about how many of the numbers created for the show was a homage's to past choreographers of the fifties and sixties like Agnes DeMille, and his idol Jerome Robbins, who set a tone for what's know as the Golden Age of Theatre.
But Rob's life from a dancer to choreographers was like being dropped on to the MGM Lot in the hey day of Movie Musicals and told to have fun, especially after Thoroughly Modern Millie, which he won a Tony; The Boys From Syracuse, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum, and the movie Beyond the Sea directed by Kevin Spacey to name a few.
A good deal of the draw of course is to see DAVID HYDE PIERCE of FRASIER fame, and in the New York area alone if you watch back to back episodes nightly on television, and own all the DVD box sets of the series like I do he's a demi god of late night television characters needed to enjoy life when there's nothing good on HBO or CINEMAX, which is most of the time.
When I look at David Hyde Pierce I think of the cartoon characters of Peabody & Sherman, I don't know why but I do, if you think about it he could play either character and then imagine they morph into the human form of William Powell in THE THIN MAN detective series only this is the prequel. Because all that is missing is a dog named Astor when the shamus meets up and falls in love with the perfect Myrna Loy in JILL PACE, and the making of a great new TV series were the couple only handles Theatre Mysteries, but that's another show.
Maybe your not as familiar with DEBRA MONK the shows co-star but its her talent along with a remarkable cast that makes the show a success even before David Hyde-Pearce comes out, now that's what I call entertainment.
It was the night that I was flipping through the channels and stopped on a PBS special were some actress was out dancing and singing the Radio City Rockettes is when I became a fan of KAREN ZIEMBA. I soon agreed with critics that wrote that what ever show she's been in it hasn't made use of her talent, well the times come its here and she's remarkable.
I've written it's been a rough season on Broadway with very few good looking women, or dancers to enjoy on stage, so says my alter E(go)( Males) Mails from most of the men in New Jersey and Long Island who have to go to the city on weekends to see a play to make there creative wives happy.
So rejoice one critic even called some of Rob Ashford's staging trashy, sadly they never saw Billy Wilders Irma La Deuce, but that alone should sell some extra tickets. Then again wait till you meet up with one of the hottest, sexist singer dancers you could ever fall in love with on stage named MEGAN SIKORA as BAMBI the up coming star-let, well I'll save that and a Indian dance for part 2.

In this installment, Director Rob Ashford, talks about the history of what it took to make CAROUSEL and why it is so important to tell this wonderful story.
Come see the "Best Musical of the 20th Century" in a brand new production at Lyric Opera of Chicago.
Swaggering, carefree carnival barker, Billy Bigelow,(Steven Pasquale) captivates and marries the naive millworker, Julie Jordan (Laura Osnes). But all too soon, they fall on hard times and unbearable loss. Yet the power of love perseveres, as do the tuneful hits, in this masterpiece of American musical theater.
You’ll hear “If I Loved You,” “June Is Bustin’ Out All Over,” and “You’ll Never Walk Alone” all set against the backdrop of an original new production from Lyric Opera, accompanied by the Lyric Chorus and Orchestra.

In this installment, Director Rob Ashford, talks about the history of what it took to make CAROUSEL and why it is so important to tell this wonderful story.
Come see the "Best Musical of the 20th Century" in a brand new production at Lyric Opera of Chicago.
Swaggering, carefree carnival barker, Billy Bigelow,(Steven Pasquale) captivates and marries the naive millworker, Julie Jordan (Laura Osnes). But all too soon, they fall on hard times and unbearable loss. Yet the power of love perseveres, as do the tuneful hits, in this masterpiece of American musical theater.
You’ll hear “If I Loved You,” “June Is Bustin’ Out All Over,” and “You’ll Never Walk Alone” all set against the backdrop of an original new production from Lyric Opera, accompanied by the Lyric Chorus and Orchestra.
