Festival Pick of the Week

Festival d’Avignon
June 29th, 2009

Festival Avignon

The great Festival d’Avignon is guided this year by associate artist Wajdi Mouawad.
You can see his hand in the premiere of Photo-Romance by Lebanese directors Lina Saneh and Rabih Mroué, who have created a piece that explores art in the reality of a Beirut torn apart by conflict. Pippo Delbono (listen to our interview) returns to Avignon to direct La Menzogna, described as a “long cry with multiple intensities”.
The separately organized Festival Off has its genesis in the tumultuous year of 1968 in France, when students took to the streets. Now you can catch the spirit — see live theatrical events throughout the streets of Avignon.
Find All Provence Festivals!
If jam bands and indie rock are your thing this week, get ready for Rothbury Festival in Michigan. Maybe the coffee and croissants aren’t as good as Avignon’s, but you’ll be helping Michigan thrive for the next round of new cars!

Everything Old is New Again
June 5th, 2009

Guys and DollsIt’s time for the Tonys again — and our friends at Ovation TV have partnered with KadmusArts to bring you some special tidbits from the award that celebrates the best of Broadway. This year, Guys and Dolls, winner of the 1951 Tony for Best Musical, is up for a “Best Revival of a Musical” award. Should it win, it will join the exalted company of nine other predecessors to be thus doubly recognized — here are some of the songs that made them famous:

“Brush Up Your Shakespeare”, from Kiss Me, Kate — Music and lyrics by Cole Porter
“A Wonderful Guy”, from South Pacific — Music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
“Getting To Know You”, from The King and I — Music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
“Steam Heat”, from The Pajama Game — Music and lyrics by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross
“Cabaret”, from Cabaret — Music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb
“Barcelona”, from Company — Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
“Lullaby of Broadway”, from 42nd Street — Music by Harry Warren, lyrics by Al Dubin
“A Call From The Vatican”, from Nine — Music and lyrics by Maury Yeston
“We Are What We Are”, from La Cage aux Folles — Music and lyrics by Jerry Herman
