THEATER NEWS by Harry Haun

From Screen to Stage: The Making of “Moulin Rouge! The Musical” Baz Luhrmann’s fever dream of a 2001 movie musical about roiling life and love in the Montmartre quarter of Paris in 1899—“Moulin Rouge!”—was akin to dropping a bomb on a jukebox. Out poured a kaleidoscopic explosion of pop, rock, classical and jazz: “Nature Boy,” “Lady Marmalade,” “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend,” “Your Song,” “Material Girl,” Offenbach’s “Galop Infernal.” In short, anything goes, although that Cole Porter song didn’t make the cut. Four years ago when John Logan’s agent asked if he would be interested in writing the book of a Broadway musical based on Luhrmann’s film, Logan speed-dialed back, “Not only am I interested in it, it’s the single best idea I ever heard.” The writer, whose “Red” won the 2010 Tony Award for Best Play, jumped in eagerly with both feet. “Baz’s movie is a magnificent work of cinema, but it exists on the kinetic energy of film, with pans and quick cuts and close-ups and dissolves, none of which exists onstage because the DNA of the stage is completely different. I knew it would be a challenging thing to work on.” Immediately, he took a meeting with the show’s director, Alex Timbers, who famously specializes in theatrical heavy lifting (like “Beetlejuice,” currently on the Great White Way). “From our very first discussion, Alex and I were on the exact same page about what we wanted it to be. Our goal became to take the elements of the film— and those great characters—and make them work as well onstage.” Five principals propel the plot. The female of the five is the sultry chanteuse, Satine (played by Karen Olivo)—a courtesan who comes with consumption, of course, but who can still set off the musical’s love triangle. She’s torn between the good and the bad—Christian, an in-

nocent young composer (Aaron Tveit), and the Duke of Monroth, a rich roué producing her new show (Tam Mutu). Utterly uninvolved in such amours is Harold Zidler, the club’s flamboyantly gay master of ceremonies (Danny Burstein). Last but hardly least is the Moulin Rouge’s most famous habitué, Toulouse-Lautrec (Sahr Ngaujah), the artist who, it turns out, really wants to direct—which he does, calling the shots for the musical the characters above are putting on. Logan’s job was to stitch together a cohesive, compelling, dramatic story line from the tunes at hand. “I think there are about 80. Obviously, a lot of them are bits and pieces and mash-ups and musical quotes, but some are full songs. When time came for Satine to sing her character song in the first act, I wrote the scene leading into the song, and then we considered various candidates. I don’t remember what was in the running because the minute Katy Perry’s song ‘Firework’ came along, the lyrics of it were so appropriate for the character that we just went with that. If we were adjudicating the songs, sometimes the lyrics led the way, and sometimes it would be the mood or the feel of the song.” Logan says that a concerted effort was made to hit on all the iconic songs from the film—and some beyond that. The Broadway version comes with a musical update. “In the 18 years since the movie was released, Beyoncé happened, Adele happened, a whole new world of music has come along. The brilliant conceit Baz Luhrmann simply invented was using pop songs in a classical period setting, so we were able to use pop songs that are more recent.” Cue Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” and Sia’s “Chandelier.” “Moulin Rouge!

Mary-Louise Parker in “The Sound Inside” IN NEW YORK | AUGUST–SEPTEMBER 2019 | INNEWYORK.COM

Why did you choose to raise the kids in New York? You’re not from here originally. Is it just that the work is here? They have so many things available to them here, from going to museums and concerts to doing volunteer work, and especially seeing theater, which they both love. Will [whose father is Tony-winning actor Billy Crudup] has literally been part of this world before he could walk. I remember taking him to see the dance troupe Pilobolus when he was 4 years old, and the usher warned me there was nudity, and all I thought was “Thank God!” Will already has three completely full Playbill binders. I suspect he’ll follow his parents into acting; it’s in his every fiber, and he’s very good at it. Caroline is good at a lot of things, including art and music. But the most important thing for me is that they’ve become nice people, honest people, and they always look out for the underdog!

You’ve said you’re not sure how much longer you’ll keep acting. Do you know what’s next? I am not sure. I am always writing, but I need to find an organizing principle to finish something. I tend to overwrite, and then I rewrite like a fiend. But I might like to try my hand as a playwright. And I always thought I’d be a better dramaturg than an actor because I love structure. If I do stop acting, though, I feel like I have had more than my share of success—more than I ever wanted or expected. As hard as acting is, especially now, would you encourage young people to go into the profession? Absolutely. One of my favorite things is to be a mentor or coach to young performers. You can tell quickly if someone is really invested in the process, which is what matters, and not just the result of the process. It’s funny, I found a letter the other day from many years ago where someone tried to talk me out of going to an acting conservatory. Thankfully, my father gave me encouragement to pursue my dreams. [Parker graduated from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts.] I tell young people that you don’t need a fallback profession; you have the right to believe that impossible dreams can become possible. If you need a fairy godmother, well, I am more than happy to be that fairy godmother.

(Continued from page 10) How do you balance single motherhood with this career? Sometimes, I don’t know how I do this. When the kids were younger, and I did TV in Los Angeles, they could come out with me. But now I find it isn’t usually worth it for me to be away from them. I don’t see how you can be a mother from another city, never mind another country. Fortunately, I’m not super-ambitious when it comes to my career, and I can make the choice, financially, not to leave New York if I don’t want to.

NEW YORK IS NOT just the city that never sleeps; it’s also the city where theater constantly evolves, bringing enrapt audiences new and exciting offerings on an ever-changing basis. So, since you’re in town, why not take advantage of seeing some of the world’s greatest talents on a variety of local stages (and not just Broadway). Here’s a peek at just a few of the great shows that you can enjoy now—and look forward to on your next trip to the Big Apple! “Sea Wall / A Life” (Hudson Theatre, currently playing thru Sept. 29): These two one-act monologues illuminate the highs and lows of life and death—admittedly, not always in the cheeriest fashion—but a chance to see the magnificent performances of Jake Gyllenhaal and Tom Sturridge simply shouldn’t be missed. “Betrayal” (Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre, currently playing thru Dec. 8): British heartthrobs and Marvel faves Tom Hiddleston and Charlie Cox join Zawe Ashton in the latest Broadway revival of Harold Pinter’s devastating tale—cleverly told backward—about a marriage torn apart by infidelity and the perils of close friendship. “Bat Out of Hell–The Musical” (New York City Center, currently playing thru Sept. 8): The songs of rock-music legend Meat Loaf provide the soundtrack for this musical about a passionate love affair between two rebellious young people. Andrew Polec, Christina Bennington and Tony Award winner Lena Hall lead the ultra-talented cast. “Hercules” (Delacorte Theater in Central Park, Aug. 31–Sept. 8): The Public Theater’s Public Works program, in which members of local community groups perform alongside Broadway professionals, has proven to be a consistently delightful experience. Excitement runs particularly high for this stage adaptation of the 1997 Disney animated film, with a score by Tony Award winners Alan Menken and David Zippel.

Harris’ consistently provocative, sometimes shocking and deeply thought-provoking play about race relations—both historical and present-day— moves uptown, ready to grab theatergoers by the throat and never let go. “The Height of the Storm” (Samuel J. Friedman Theatre, previews begin Sept. 10): Is there any reason to pass up seeing two of the world’s greatest actors, Eileen Atkins and Jonathan Pryce, share the same stage in Florian Zeller’s acclaimed new play?

Forster’s 1910 novel “Howards End”—focuses on how a group of present-day gay men in New York City struggle to connect to the past while living in the present.

“Cyrano” (Daryl Roth Theatre, performances begin Oct. 15): Emmy Award winner (for “Game of Thrones”) Peter Dinklage makes a long-awaited return to the stage in this new musical presented by the New Group. Naturally, he’s the lovestruck title character, who enlists a better-looking (if less bright) comrade to plead his case with a beautiful woman. “Jagged Little Pill” (Broadhurst Theatre, previews begin Nov. 3): A smash hit in Boston, this new musical is inspired by the themes and emotions of singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette’s Grammy Award-winning album, which contains such hits as “Ironic” and “You Oughta Know.” You oughta go! “Evita” (New York City Center, Nov. 13–24): Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s acclaimed rock opera about the former first lady of Argentina, Eva Perón, and her relationships with husband Juan and revolutionary Che Guevara makes a rare return to the New York stage. “West Side Story” (Broadway Theatre, previews begin Dec. 10): Perhaps the greatest show in the annals of musical theater, thanks to co-writers Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim and Arthur Laurents, gets a thoroughly rethought production in the hands of the Tony Award-winning Dutch director Ivo van Hove. We know a night at this “Story” won’t be like any other night!

Summer’s Last Hurrah NYC’s great outdoors beckons

IN NEW YORK | MAY-JUNE 2019 | INNEWYORK.COM

TIME HAS A WAY of slipping by unnoticed. Before you know it, Labor Day is here, and with it the unofficial end to summer. This year is particularly painful: The three-day holiday arrives early, falling between Aug. 31 and Sept. 2. Where did summer go? But before the season fades into memory, don’t let regrets set in. There’s still plenty of time to do all the outdoor activities on your New York bucket list. And great weather to do them in. Here’s a sampling to get you started. The Metropolitan Museum of Art (metmuseum.org), NYC’s premier encyclopedic museum, is a rich repository of objects from every age and every culture. How many objects? In excess of 2 million (the museum’s curators are always adding more). Most are preserved indoors, with one notable exception: this year’s rooftop commission, Alicja Kwade’s “ParaPivot,” a large-scale minimalist interpretation of the solar system. How apt that the Met should have chosen to spotlight this installation during the 50th-anniversary summer of the Apollo 11 lunar landing. You can walk around and through Kwade’s square steel frames. Within are nine smooth stone spheres—millions of years old and from India, Finland, Italy, China and other countries. Each sphere represents a planet. The big blue “marble” is Earth.

No visit to the Met’s Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden would be complete without a little shameless sightseeing. Make that a lot. Even locals marvel at the bird’s-eye views from this perch. To the west, Central Park in all its green glory spreads out acre upon acre. To the south, steel, glass and concrete towers demand attention. Two of the newest needles pushing their way into the skyline are condominium apartment dwellings—111 W. 57th St. and 217 W. 57th St. At 1,428 feet, 111 W. 57th St. isn’t NYC’s tallest building (that honor, for now, goes to One World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan), but upon completion it will be the skinniest skyscraper. A further incentive to spend time on the Cantor Roof Garden, especially around happy hour, is James Beard Awardwinning pastry chef Randy Eastman’s spirit-infused frozen Poptails that he makes in-house in flavors that include strawberry mint mojito, bourbon and white peach, and champagne and passion fruit. For an extra alfresco kick, ask that your Poptail be served in a glass of prosecco. There’s no doubt that New Yorkers get a kick out of the newest neighborhood in Midtown West, Hudson Yards (hudsonyardsnewyork.com). It’s a prime destination for fashionistas and foodies, while fitness buffs gravitate to its

centerpiece, the Vessel, a honeycomb outdoor sculpture rising 16 stories. Its 2,500 steps are meant to be climbed. But don’t be put off. The 154 staircases are interconnected, and there are 80 landings for resting and photo-taking. This is an experience not to be missed. Think of it as a challenge, like climbing Everest—only easier and only in New York. Thrill seekers in search of an adrenaline rush (while sitting down) might want to book passage on Circle Line’s The Beast (thebeastnyc.com). The jet-powered green speedboat zooms around New York Harbor at a gut-churning 45 mph. Of course, not every water activity in New York has to be this intense. Kayaks can be rented for genteel paddles on the Hudson River at Piers 26 and 96 up until mid-October (hud sonriverpark.org). If you want to soar above the Hudson, Trapeze School New York (newyork.trapezeschool.com) holds classes in the circus art at Pier 40. There are two essential New York walks at this time of year. The first is in Hudson River Park, the riverfront greenway that extends from West 59th Street to Battery Park at the tip of Manhattan Island. Start at Pier 40, say, and make your leisurely way south, past tennis and basketball courts, a dog run and a skate park, to Brookfield Place shopping and dining center (bfplny.com). At Brookfield Place’s North Cove Marina you may want to give shank’s mare a rest and board Classic Harbor Line’s yacht Full Moon for a relaxing sunset cocktail cruise (sail-nyc.com). The second must-do walk is on The High Line (thehigh line.org), the 1.45-mile-long elevated public park and promenade that wends its way north from the Meatpacking District (near the Whitney Museum of American Art) through Chelsea before ending up at Hudson Yards. Along the way, there are woodlands, thickets, wild flowers, a lawn, overlooks and a water feature where you can cool off and dip your toes. You can also do a bit of eavesdropping as you stroll: Some of the city’s most prized and luxurious residential real estate flanks The High Line. The late Pritzer Prizewinning architect Zaha Hadid’s only New York building, the curvaceous, space-age, 11-story condominium at 520 W. 28th St., makes a powerful backdrop for Paul Kasmin Gallery’s current rooftop display of three large-scale Robert Indiana sculptures (kasmingallery.com). Each is a variation on the Pop artist’s signature “LOVE” series, with each work spelling LOVE in a language that represents the immigrant diversity of New York—English, Spanish (“AMOR”) and Hebrew (“AHAVA”). This past spring, the final phase of The High Line was completed, 10 years after the park opened to universal acclaim and popular appeal. The focal point of the Spur, as this public space is called, is the High Line Plinth, which is dedicated to new commissions of contemporary art. Outdoor installations there rotate every 18 months, and the first is Hugo Boss Prize winner Simone Leigh’s monumental “Brick House,” a 16-foot tall bronze bust of a black woman whose torso references a skirt and a clay house. The work’s title comes from the term for a strong black woman who is as sturdy and as enduring as a brick house.

The Vessel, the interactive artwork in Hudson Yards, took two years to build and cost $200 million.

Summertime means gardens in full flower, even in the Big Baked Apple, where the landmark New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx (nybg.org)—at 250 acres, the largest garden in a United States city—is as much a museum as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, only its collections comprise living plants. This summer, and only until Sept. 29, NYBG hosts its largest-ever botanical exhibition, “Brazilian Modern: The Living Art of Roberto Burle Marx.” Lush hardly does justice to the late landscape architect’s riot of colors and shapes. Many of his equally exuberant paintings, drawings and textiles are also on view. If you find yourself moving to a bossa nova beat along one of his signature curvy and patterned paths that snake through NYBG’s grounds, that’s as it should be. Marx is known as the Picasso of landscaping for good reason. Not all of New York’s gardens, however, are on such a grand scale. And not all are open to the elements. The brickwalled garden at La Lanterna di Vittorio (lalanternacaffe .com) in Greenwich Village is full of plants, but its roof is glass. Quietly romantic, it’s a place in which to unwind after a day spent outdoors. Here you can lift a cool libation from a list a mile long—like an Orange Creamsicle Martini made with orange and vanilla vodka, fresh orange juice and heavy cream—and toast a brilliant end to summer in New York.
