How Constantine Maroulis broke the ‘American Idol’ mold By Bret Love

onstantine Maroulis, the star of Rock Of Ages, will be the second former “American Idol” contestant to pass through Atlanta in a month (his season-four castmate Anthony Fedorov starred in June’s Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat). But what some “Idol” fans may not know is that Maroulis was a musical theater fanatic long before the TV show made him a household name. Born in 1975 to Greek-American parents, Maroulis grew up in New Jersey, and went to college at the prestigious Boston Conservatory, where he got his BFA in Musical Theatre. “Although ‘American Idol’ was an amazing experience, I did exist before my time on the show,” he laughs. “In 1998 I was granted admittance to the Boston Conservatory, where I studied script and score, private voice lessons, piano, dance,

stagecraft [and] Shakespeare. It was a great time in my life.” Maroulis describes himself as a huge “theater geek,” but music always was a big part of his life. His parents exposed him to classic crooners like Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra. His brother turned him on to rock ’n’ roll icons like The Doors and Led Zeppelin. His sister loved New Wave acts such as The Cure and Echo & the Bunnymen. While he was immersing himself in theater, Maroulis also was singing in bands, balancing dreams of being a rock star and a Broadway hoofer in equal measure. He got to do both with his big break as an actor, playing Roger in the national touring production of Rent. Maroulis had just returned from a year on the road when his thengirlfriend talked him into auditioning for “Idol.” Maroulis was one of the first Atlanta’s Performing Arts Publication 9

with the character, from their passion for music and heart-on-their-sleeve approach to relationships to their relentless pursuit of their dreams. For Maroulis, who earned a Tony Award nomination for his performance, getting to sing the music of Journey and Bon Jovi in a Broadway show is a lifelong dream come true. “There might not ever be a part that fits me so well ever again in my career,” he admits. “I grew up singing in bands and doing theatre. I put on mini-Bon Jovi concerts in my room as a kid. Now I get to do it every night in front of a couple thousand people. Rock Of Ages has been a true blessing.” Rock of Ages rolls into the Fox Theatre July 5-10. Bret Love is the founder of ecotourism/ conservation site GreenGlobalTravel.com; the national managing editor of INsite magazine; and music editor for Georgia Music Magazine. He freelances for many national and international publications, and performs on numerous improv teams with Jackpie at Relapse Theatre.

contestants to benefit from the show’s recent change to its age range cut-off (from 16-24 to 16-28) and, along with Bo Bice, he was one of the first to bring a rock edge to a show typically steeped in pop, R&B and country. Maroulis made it to the Top 6 before being eliminated, but the exposure provided by the show and subsequent sold out tour inevitably changed his career for the better. “‘Idol’ is a great ‘boot camp’ for performers,” he insists. “What better training is there than getting thrown out in front of over 30 million people live on TV? After ‘Idol’ I had tons of projects pitched to me [including singing with legendary rock band Queen]. I knew I wanted to do Broadway, and my featured supporting role in The Wedding Singer was a great way to get introduced to the scene again.” While The Wedding Singer may have introduced Maroulis to Broadway, it was his leading role as Drew in Rock Of Ages that made him a star. The 35-year-old performer admits he has a lot in common

magine how magical it would be if you could relive the experience that helped you discover what you wanted to do with your life. Tom Alan Robbins, who stars as Tevya in the Theater of the Stars production of Fiddler on the Roof, is doing just that. Robbins first played Tevye in a 1971 Canton, Ohio, high school production, and it inspired him to become a professional actor. Since then, he has played a variety of characters, ranging from Pumbaa in the Broadway production of The Lion King to Thenarier in the First National Tour of Les Misèrables. But this is the first time in 40 years that he’s been able to step back into Tevye’s shoes. “I’ve been waiting for this to come around again,” says Robbins. “This is one of the greatest scores ever produced.”

Dear Patrons, Subscribers and Friends: Welcome to the second show of our 2011 season, Rock of Ages. This show takes us back to 1987, where a small town girl meets a big city rocker, and they fall in love to some of the greatest rock songs of the 1980s. We are sure that you will enjoy this arena-rock love story that’s told through the mind-blowing hits of Journey, Night Ranger, Styx, REO Speedwagon, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister, Poison, Asia and Whitesnake, to name a few. Sit back, relax and let down your hair for this fun tribute to the ’80s and all of its glory. We are proud to welcome “American Idol” contestant and Broadway star, Constantine Maroulis, to our stage. He is reprising his acclaimed performance as Drew in the first national tour of this five-time Tony Award-nominated smash-hit musical, Rock of Ages. As always, I’d like to thank you for being an integral part of our not-for-profit theater company. We are looking forward to the rest of our season. Up next is our second produced show, the classic favorite about Anatevka, Fiddler On The Roof (July 19-24), followed by the show that brings together the legendary music of Frank Sinatra and the creative vision of Tony Award-winner Twyla Tharp, Come Fly Away (Aug. 2-7). We continue the season with the unforgettable oddball romantic comedy, Guys and Dolls (Aug. 16-21), and conclude with the popular favorite, Annie (Jan. 14-22, 2012), which we plan to cast with a majority of local actors. It’s an exciting lineup and we hope to see you there! If you are not a subscriber or member of Theater of the Stars and would like to become one, I invite you to join our family for the 2011 season. There are several opportunities for participation, including the Star Circle and Production Sponsorships.

People who arrive late disturb the performers on stage and audience members. It is best to arrive about 30 minutes early so that you have time to purchase concessions, find your seat, and read the program before the show starts. 2. Take care of personal needs (drinks of water or restroom) because you should not leave your seat until the intermission or until the performance ends. 3. Please sit in the seat you are assigned so you do not cause confusion for other audience members. 4. Please silence or turn off all electronic devices, including cell phones, beepers, and watch alarms. You’ll be embarrassed if it goes off in the middle of a tense moment of the show and it will break the mood for everyone. We encourage you to share your experience at the Fox via social media, but please refrain from doing so or texting during performances; the glow from your device is distracting. 5. Most shows do not allow photography of any kind. Flash photography inside the theatre is never allowed as it is a distraction to those around you and a danger to the performers. 6. The overture is part of the performance. Please cease talking at this point. 7. The sound system for each show is provided by the touring production. Unfortunately, many variables exist that may occasionally hinder sound quality. Please let an usher know if you are having trouble hearing. Adjustments may be able to be made or an assisted listening device can be provided. 8. Dear Lovebirds, when you lean your heads together, you block the view of the people behind you. Please consider the people that will be seated behind you when choosing whether or not to wear a hat or what hair style you choose. 8. Please refrain from talking, humming, or singing along with the show, except when encouraged to do so by the artist or show. 9. Please wait for an appropriate moment to dig something out of your pocket or bag. 10. Go easy with the perfume and cologne, many people are highly allergic. 11. If you need assistance during the show, please go to your nearest volunteer usher. If additional assistance is needed the usher will get the appropriate person to further help you. 12. Yes, the parking lot gets busy and public transportation is tricky, but leaving while the show is in progress or before the actors have taken their final bows is discourteous. Wait until it is over and then exit with the rest of the audience. 13. Just be courteous and everyone will enjoy the show.

Fox fun facts: Save the Fox

On May 17, 1974, the Fox was put on the National Register of Historic Places. Buildings less than 50 years old are not meant to qualify, but because of the Fox’s “outstanding architectural merit,” it made the list. Here are some other fun facts: By the 1970s, the sheer size of the auditorium made it impossible to hold first-run films for the long time periods now required by distributors. In 1974, Southern Bell approached Mosque, Inc., who had owned the theatre since 1935, to buy and raze the theatre for its new headquarters. July 10, 1974: Possibly the first official Save the Fox meeting was held at Herren’s restaurant. Among those in attendance was future Mayor Maynard Jackson. December 31, 1974: To generate Save the Fox donations, Alex Cooley presented The Gregg Allman Tour. More than 4,000 people attended.

March 20, 1976: The Delta Zeta sorority hosted an “Evening at the Fox” and raised $70,000. May 26, 1976: The Fox was made a National Historic Landmark by the 48 EncoreAtlantA.com

U.S. Department of the Interior. By February 1978, the Fox’s mortgage was paid off, six months ahead of schedule, thanks to the contributions of over 7,000 generous citizens.

With memorable songs such as “If I Were A Rich Man,” the exuberant “Matchmaker, Matchmaker” and triumphant “Tradition,” audiences can’t help but tap their feet to Fiddler on the Roof’s tale of love and laughter, devotion and defiance, and changing traditions. A humble milkman from the Russian village of Anatevka, Tevye acts as the show’s narrator, engaging the audience with a story about daily Jewish country life in czarist Russia. The exuberance

with which his family and friends meet life’s little and extreme challenges is thought-provoking, touching and at times hilarious, leaving audiences on the edge of their seats throughout. “It’s a demanding role,” says Robbins. “Tevya never leaves the stage. This show is jam-packed.” Fiddler finds Tevya wrestling with the new ideas presented by a younger generation. When his daughters choose suitors who defy his idea of a proper match, Tevye comes to realize, through a series of incidents that are at once comic and bittersweet, that his children 50 EncoreAtlantA.com

need to be free to establish traditions of their own. The show also stars Susan Cella, who returns to the role of Golde after appearing opposite Theodore Bikel and Harvey Fierstein in the Broadway production. Cella and Robbins create one of the most poignant moments in the show as their characters struggle with the question, “Do You Love Me?” as the world around them rapidly changes. Since 1953, Theater of the Stars (TOTS) has produced or presented more than 700 productions in Atlanta, across the country, and around the world. Its stated mission is to produce and present the best of Broadway musicals. But TOTS Producer Christopher B. Manos and President Nicholas F. Manos have another mission they fulfill whenever possible: to introduce the love of musical theater to new generations of Atlantans. The cast of this Fiddler includes professional actors performing alongside 16 talented local children — one of whom may grow up and play Tevye or Golde someday. Fiddler on the Roof will celebrate life at the Fox Theatre from July 19 through July 24. Jeff Al-Mashat is a writer, speaker and fundraiser who has worked in Atlanta’s nonprofit community for the past 17 years.

Highland Bakery

Patio chillin’ When the heat reigns, get low … beneath the umbrellas, that is. By Danielle Deadwyler

highland bakery

very summer, Atlantans try their best to withstand 90-plus degree temperatures and off-the-chart humidity without wilting. When they can no longer stay cooped up with igloo-like air conditioning and find themselves outdoors watching the pavement undulate and steam, it’s under the shady refuge of patio umbrellas that they seek relief, frosty cocktails and tasty victuals. An abundance of patio options are scattered throughout the city’s ‘hoods, fit for the transient, the hometown-er, and those just stopping through.

Best People Watching

Einstein’s

This category got tricky, but just listing a couple wouldn’t do, so here’s a handful: Highland Bakery, P’cheen’s and Across the Street in the Old 4th Ward serve up people and patios along a stretch of Highland Avenue. P’cheen’s specializes in nightcaps and grilled savories while Highland Bakery is brunch-perfect and Across the Street serves fresh and tasty Tex-Mex. Peoplewatching is good any time of day. For more, ahem, creative pedestrian traffic, check out Midtown’s Einstein’s and Flying Biscuit restaurants.

Strip

Best Couples Spots

Most Family Friendly

If you’re a new mom or dad, finding “family friendly” restaurants are a high priority. East Atlanta is quite keen on catering to the baby stroller crowd, especially at Midway Pub, where even pooches can feel the love. Fellini’s Pizza on Ponce de Leon is easy on families, too, and it has a water fountain that’s like catnip for kids. 54 EncoreAtlantA.com

Best Night Views

When you want more from a patio beyond people and décor, nothing shines like the beauty of the city. Buckhead’s New York Prime puts diners in the catbird seat in its cozy nook across from Lenox Square Mall. Cafe Circa/The Reserve in Old 4th Ward is a homey tapas spot. In Midtown, Park Tavern overlooks Piedmont Park. Best Place To Be Seen

When you’ve got the look and need people to know it, you’ve got to flaunt it in Atlantic Station. Strike a pose (and score killer steak and sushi) at Strip. It’s huge, loud and crowded with hip carnivores. Twist, in Buckhead, caters

einstein’s/metrotainment cafes; strip/here to serve restaurants

Patio dining with a summer love should be romantic, intimate and surrounded by beautiful decor. Inman Park’s Fritti possesses all of the above: a quaint corner lot neighboring sister restaurant Sotto Sotto, enclosed or outside patio dining, soft ambience and music, and romantic cuisine fit for sharing … if your idea of romantic cuisine encompasses upscale pizza. 4th & Swift, named for its Old 4th Ward environs, serves more sophisticated cuisine, but is still handholding friendly.

Best Nook and Cranny

Fontaine’s in Virginia-Highlands has a hidden gem: a tree-shaded back patio, perfectly nestled behind the restaurant row, far enough from the noisy bar to afford quiet conversation, but close enough to enjoy some of the city’s best seafood. Park’s Edge, an intimate Inman Park restaurant, is a chic stroll away and never overcrowded, as a cranny should be. Best Live/Music

the unicef experience E

very day, 22,000 children die of preventable causes. Things that we take for granted — clean water, abundant food, shelter, vaccines, schools — are a luxury for many kids in developing nations. To prove this point and teach Atlantans how they can help, the U.S. Fund for UNICEF set up an exhibit called The UNICEF Experience in the luxury wing of Lenox Square mall. The weeklong interactive display kicked off with a party on May 22. Over 200 members of the Atlanta community learned first-hand what children in developing countries face, got an insider view of UNICEF’s lifesaving work, and had the opportunity to make a difference — all without leaving Atlanta. Encore Atlanta was there to provide volunteers and support this worthy cause. Photos courtesy of: Tim Wilkerson Photography and kristi casey sanders

All along the Georgia and Florida coast, sea turtles will be building nests at night in the sand. It’s fascinating to watch — but it’s best not to use traditional flashlights when sneaking a peek. Flashlights can scare mother turtles from nesting and distract hatchlings from getting safely to the sea. Environmentally conscious establishments have begun offering guests the use of Turtlesafe flashlights — personal, rechargeable red LED lights that let people watch sea turtles without disrupting or endangering them. — KCS Be safe: If your resort doesn’t have Turtlesafe flashlights on hand, they can be purchased from turtlesafeonline.com for $14.95.

The art of the bathroom “Waterdream: The Art of Bathroom Design,” which runs through Sept. 24 at the Museum of Design Atlanta (MODA), takes visitors on a stimulating journey through the art and history of bathroom design from the 19th century to present day. The exhibit explains how the bathroom evolved from a practical place dedicated to personal hygiene into a haven of peace, luxury and relaxation. Highlights of the exhibit include life-size models of what the “bathroom of the future” will look like, as imagined by design world luminaries like Phillippe Starck. —Loni Gibson EXPERIENCE THE DREAM: MODA, 1315 Peachtree St., 404-979-6455, museumofdesign.org 60 EncoreAtlantA.com
