Hello and welcome to the DCPA. Whether you are joining us for the hilarious antics in The Play That Goes Wrong or for the legendary Hello, Dolly!, we are delighted you are here.

Our Broadway touring shows play a significant role in the success of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. Therefore, it is my pleasure to share with you the highlights from our recently released 2017/18 Community Report.

Thanks to the generosity of our community which gave nearly $22 million through donations, support of the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District and gifts to our capital campaign, we were able to provide: • 43 productions • 246 classes • 2,517 ticket vouchers • 36,989 student discounts • 20,588 free and discounted admissions • Rental space valued at more than $30,000 Through these endeavors, we welcomed nearly 30,000 subscribers, distributed more than 850,000 tickets and engaged with more than 144,000 students. Through your patronage and giving, we had a $193.4 million economic impact on our local economy.

Broadway does mean big business and next season is no exception.

I invite you to review our 2019/20 season announcement on pages 18-19, which includes Escape to Margaritaville, Mean Girls and Summer: The Donna Summer Musical as well as the return engagement of Hamilton.

While we are in the throes of one season and planning for another, it is always our great pleasure to consider the future of our industry and there is no better way to see its potential than through our annual Bobby G High School Musical Theatre Awards.

Now in its seventh year, this statewide competition is our chance to see Colorado’s up-and-coming talent. We review 45 school productions and, ultimately, nominate schools and students in 15 categories. Students are then honored for their creativity, versatility and talent at an awards ceremony complete with student performances. Two students are awarded Best Actor and Actress in a Musical and go on to represent us at the national Jimmy Awards in New York City. We hope you can join us for this celebration on May 23 in The Ellie.

In closing, I am honored and humbled by the generosity of our community, inspired by our artists, proud of our talented youth and enthusiastic about the season to come. We hope to see you again soon at the theatre!

Warm regards,

Janice Sinden President & CEO

“I think one of the reasons it won the Tony is because it is a set with a personality. It actually is the antagonist of the show.”

— KEVIN MCCOLLUM, PRODUCER

10 10

I

If ever there was truth in advertising it’s the hit British comedy The Play That Goes Wrong, says producer Kevin McCollum. “I’ve got to tell you, it’s been a pleasure having a show that I can market and it is exactly what it says it is!” McCollum (Rent, Avenue Q) has teamed up with famed writer/producer J.J. Abrams (Star Wars, Star Trek, Lost) to present this international sensation about a hilariously disastrous production of a murder mystery here in the United States.

There are ten actors onstage, but McCollum says the eleventh character is the set. “I think one of the reasons it won the Tony is because it is a set with a personality,” he says. “It actually is the antagonist of the show.” The characters in the play struggle with tiny things at first – a stuck door, a mantlepiece which keeps falling down, pictures and other objects which keep falling off the walls. But as the play goes on, the set malfunctions become more and more sidesplittingly spectacular.

UK-based set designer Nigel Hook has worked on several murder mysteries, so his set, which is supposed to be of a collegiate production of an Agatha Christie-type play, features all the clichés of the genre – wood paneling, tacky wallpaper, a fireplace and mantle, pictures and shields on the wall, even a second floor study. But Hook has attended more than his share of theatrical disasters over the years, which he’s

THE 11TH CHARACTER IN

THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG MAR 5 – 17 • BUELL THEATRE ASL Interpreted, Audio Described and Open Captioned performance: Mar 17, 2pm

FIDDLER ON COSTUME COLUMN THE ROOF In 1961, writers Joseph Stein (book), Jerry Bock (music), and Sheldon Harnick (lyrics) set out to adapt three stories from Sholem Aleichem’s “Tevye’s Daughters” into a Broadway musical.

The result was Fiddler on the Roof (Jun 11-16), which opened on September 22, 1964, directed and choreographed by Jerome Robbins and starring Zero Mostel as Tevye.

It won nine 1965 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Book and Best Score.

The show has enjoyed five other Broadway revivals, several U.S. tours, countless productions around the world, and a successful film. Many of the show’s songs have gone on to become standards, including “To Life (L’Chaim!),” “If I Were A Rich Man,” “Sunrise, Sunset,” “Matchmaker, Matchmaker” and “Tradition.”

Tony-winning director Bartlett Sher reunited his creative team from Rodgers and Hammerstein’s South Pacific and The King and I to bring a fresh and authentic vision to this beloved theatrical masterpiece. The new revival also features stunning choreography from acclaimed Israeli choreographer Hofesh Shechter, based on the original Jerome Robbins staging. A wonderful cast and a lavish orchestra tell this heartwarming story of fathers and daughters, husbands and wives, and the timeless traditions that define faith, family, and community.

also incorporated into his set design. “You just pull references from what you’ve seen and what you wish would happen sometimes,” he says. Hook recalls attending an “incredibly dull Charley’s Aunt,” which was unwittingly improved when, “on the first night literally the furniture started falling apart.” So watch for the same kind of mayhem to ensue in The Play That Goes Wrong when the characters onstage least expect it.

There’s quite an art to making things appear to be broken, says Hook.

“Basically, you don’t make it so it will break, you make it broken,” he explains. “And you make it very well, so it will go back together again very quickly.” Without trying to give away too many trade secrets, the designer says much of what “goes wrong” involves magnets, hooks, levers and “the forces of gravity.”

Part of the fun of the set is that, at times, what happens onstage looks genuinely perilous. “We’re really, really precise with all the slapstick,” says co-author Henry Shields. “We want it to look dangerous, but be absolutely safe for the actors doing it. It’s all about making sure all the precautions are in place and making sure that things are cued at the right time.” To achieve that, the actors rehearsed on the set for the original production, says Hook. “We had a period of time where we could pidge and fiddle with things, and it went up in the rehearsal rooms.” And that has been the protocol for every production since. So “that when we do hand it over to people, you know, we all sleep easily,” says co-author Jonathan Sayer.

The set itself gets quite a workout during every show. Hook says after each performance there’s “about half an hour’s work, sort of settling things; putting flaps back up, cleaning…the rug gets very wet, so that has to be put into a position where it can dry out, without causing any problems.”

Before each performance, there’s at least another hour of getting the set and props ready to go: “They do lists and they double check and they check themselves and somebody else does a shout round of what has to be where.”

When The Play That Goes Wrong opened on Broadway, Hook’s set design was singled out in most of the reviews. Jesse Green, in Vulture, wrote: “Nigel Hook’s booby-trapped set should get either a Tony Award or a cease-and-desist order from OSHA.” And when the Tony Awards were handed out a couple of months later, Hook received the Tony for Best Scenic Design of a Play. “It was just extraordinary,” Hook remembers of attending the ceremony in the 6,000 seat Radio City Music Hall. “I made the foolish mistake of putting my pathetic little speech in my back pocket. I never use a back pocket! And then couldn’t find it once I got up there. So, I winged it. Fortunately, I think everybody thought I was making a big joke! But I was terrified.” A little bit like the seemingly hapless actors who get conked on the head and buffeted about on his brilliant set.

MICHAEL STEWART (Book) was still relatively early in his theatrical career when he had his first smash hit in 1960 with Bye Bye Birdie, for which he won the Tony Award for Best Book. His subsequent Broadway shows include Carnival! (Drama Critics Circle Award); Hello, Dolly! (Tony Award, Drama Critics Circle Award); George M! (with Francine and John Pascal); Mack & Mabel (Tony nomination); The Grand Tour; 42nd Street (with Mark Bramble; Tony Award); and Harrigan and Hart (Tony nomination). He is also the lyricist of Barnum (music by Cy Coleman, Tony nomination) and I Love My Wife (Tony nomination). Mr. Stewart died in 1987.

JERRY HERMAN (Music & Lyrics) remains one of the most iconic and beloved composers in the American theater. His legendary scores have spawned such standards as “I Am What I Am,” “The Best of Times,” “Mame,” “If He Walked into My Life,” “We Need a Little Christmas” and “Hello, Dolly!” His first Broadway musical, Milk and Honey (1961), ran for 543 performances.

He made history in 1964 with Hello, Dolly! (10 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, a Broadway record held for 37 years), which was followed by yet another smash, Mame, in 1966. With Dolly! and Mame still running, Herman had the rare distinction of having three Broadway shows playing simultaneously when Dear World opened in 1969.

In 1974, Mack & Mabel opened (and remains one of his best-loved scores) and was followed by 1979’s The Grand Tour. Herman’s most recent Broadway show, La Cage aux Folles, became another phenomenon, winning the Tony Award in 1984 for Best Musical.

It was successfully revived in 2004 and 2010, winning the Tony for Best Revival each time. Two of Herman’s most cherished songs from Hello, Dolly! are the emotional highlights of the Disney-Pixar classic Wall-E, cementing Herman’s place in American popular culture. His countless awards and honors include multiple Tony Awards,

Grammy Awards, Olivier Awards, Drama Desk Awards, the Johnny Mercer Award, the Richard Rodgers Award, the Oscar Hammerstein Award, the Frederick Loewe Award, membership in the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Theater Hall of Fame and most recently, The Kennedy Center Honor.

GOWER CHAMPION (Original Director and Choreographer) is a name synonymous with some of the greatest musicals in Broadway history. In addition to Hello, Dolly!, which cemented his reputation as a legendary theater artist and garnered him Tony Awards for both Direction and Choreography, he directed and choreographed Bye Bye Birdie (Tony Awards for Direction and Choreography), Carnival! (Tony nomination for Direction), I Do! I Do! (Tony nomination for Direction), The Happy Time (Tony for both Direction and Choreography), Sugar (Tony nominations for Direction and Choreography), Mack & Mabel (Tony nominations for Direction and Choreography), and 42nd Street (Tony for Choreography, Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Choreography, Tony nomination for Direction). His first Broadway credit as choreographer, Lend an Ear, won him his first Tony Award for Choreography in 1949. He studied dance from an early age and, at the age of 15, toured nightclubs with his friend Jeanne Tyler and later with Marge Belcher, who eventually became his wife.

During the late 1930s and early 1940s, Champion worked on Broadway as a solo dancer and choreographer. After serving in the U.S. Coast Guard during World War II, the team of Gower and Marge Champion became one of the most popular attractions on television variety shows, appearing on “Jack Benny,” “Garry Moore,” “Dinah Shore,” “The Ed Sullivan Show,” and in their own series, “The Marge and Gower Champion Show,” in 1957. The pair also appeared in several film musicals with Bing Crosby (Mr. Music, 1950), Kathryn Grayson and Howard Keel (Show Boat, 1951; Lovely to Look At, 1952), Debbie Reynolds (Give a Girl a Break, 1953), Betty Grable (Three for the Show, 1955), Esther Williams (Jupiter’s Darling, 1955) and occasionally earned their own top billing (Everything I Have Is Yours, 1952). Gower Champion died in 1980 on the day that 42nd Street, his last great hit, opened on Broadway. He was awarded the last of his eight Tony Awards posthumously.

JERRY ZAKS (Director) was nominated for the 2017 Tony Award for Best Direction of a Musical for this production. Credits include Meteor Shower, A Bronx Tale: The Musical, Shows for Days, Sister Act, The Addams Family, Guys and Dolls, Six Degrees of Separation, Lend Me a Tenor, The House of Blue Leaves, The Front Page, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Smokey Joe’s Cafe, Anything Goes, La Cage aux Folles, Little Shop of Horrors, The Man Who Came to Dinner, The Foreigner, Laughter on the 23rd Floor, Sister Mary Ignatius…, Beyond Therapy, Baby with the Bath Water, and The Marriage of Bette and Boo. He has received four Tony Awards and eight nominations, and has also received four Drama Desk Awards, two Outer Critics Circle Awards, and an Obie Award. He directed the film Marvin’s Room. Zaks is a founding member of the Ensemble Studio Theatre. He received the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society’s George Abbott Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre and an honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts from Dartmouth College, his alma mater. He is a 2013 inductee into the Theater Hall of Fame.

DAVID MERRICK (Original Producer) claimed to be born on November 4, 1954, the night his first Broadway musical Fanny opened. His second production, in 1955, was Thornton Wilder’s comedy The Matchmaker. He immediately determined it would make a brilliant musical—which, in 1964, turned out to be Hello, Dolly!. At a time when few producers managed more than one production a year, he stunned Broadway in 1957 with three hits in one month (including John Osborne’s ground breaking Look Back in Anger).

The following November, he opened three shows in a single week. At the height of his activity, he had eight productions running simultaneously on Broadway. His musicals included Jamaica with Lena Horne; Destry Rides Again with Andy Griffith and Dolores Gray; Gypsy with Ethel Merman; Take Me Along with Jackie Gleason; Irma La Douce; Do Re Mi with Phil Silvers and Nancy Walker; Carnival! with Anna Maria Alberghetti and Jerry Orbach; I Can Get It for You Wholesale with

Elliott Gould and Barbra Streisand; Stop the World—I Want to Get Off and The Roar of the Greasepaint—The Smell of the Crowd with Anthony Newley; Oliver!; 110 in the Shade; I Do! I Do! with Mary Martin and Robert Preston; The Happy Time with Robert Goulet; Promises, Promises with Orbach; Sugar with Robert Morse and Tony Roberts; Mack & Mabel with Preston and Bernadette Peters; and the legendary 42nd Street with Orbach and Tammy Grimes. Notable plays included The Entertainer with Laurence Olivier; The World of Suzie Wong; A Taste of Honey with Angela Lansbury; Becket with Olivier and Anthony Quinn; Sunday in New York with Robert Redford; Luther with Albert Finney; Arturo Ui with Christopher Plummer; One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest with Kirk Douglas; Inadmissible Evidence with Nicol Williamson; Cactus Flower with Lauren Bacall and Barry Nelson; Peter Weiss’ Marat/Sade; Brian Friel’s Philadelphia, Here I Come!; Woody Allen’s Don’t Drink the Water and Play It Again, Sam; Tom Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead and Travesties; Forty Carats with Julie Harris; Child’s Play; and Peter Brook’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, to name a few.

PROUD SPONSOR OF DCPA EDUCATION

EDUCATING FUTURE GENERATIONS THROUGH INNOVATIVE ENERGY CURRICULUM

F

“We’re proud of our partnership with the DCPA because it encourages innovative ways of learning and makes learning about earth science fun.”

For the past three years, Noble Energy and the Denver Center for the Performing Arts (DCPA) have partnered on an innovative curriculum that supports Colorado State Standards for more than 2,333 students in 45 schools across the state.

As a new component to its popular Dramatic Learning Program™, DCPA teachers work hand in hand with Noble Energy employees to bring the subject of energy to life for students. The program is presented to fifth grade students as part of their earth science curriculum and uses dramatic learning techniques to help them understand the geology and technology behind oil and gas development and production. The students get out of their seats and act as rocks, plants and animals, allowing themselves to become immersed in the material and internalize the lesson. They even dance, mimicking the flow of water.

“We learned about weathering, erosion, earth sciences, tectonic plates and resources. The acting reinforced our learning and helped put visuals to the learning,” said a teacher from Bel Mar Elementary regarding her school’s participation in the DCPA Dramatic Learning Program™ with Noble.

Noble Energy has more than 700 employees who live and work in Colorado, so the company feels very strongly about educating future generations and providing learning opportunities for all children.

Isaiah Flores, a lease operator for Noble Energy and regular classroom volunteer with DCPA teachers, says the program is a great way to give back to the community. “We’re proud of our partnership with the DCPA because it encourages innovative ways of learning and makes learning about earth science fun,” he said.

Noble Energy’s support for Colorado’s public schools is a fundamental part of the company’s commitment to Colorado and the company intends to grow the partnership with the DCPA, reaching more students across the state. This year Noble was honored as the National Philanthropy Day’s Outstanding Large Business for its contribution and involvement in the philanthropic process. With energy playing such a vital role in Colorado’s past, present and future, it is critical that the workforce of tomorrow have a strong understanding of the underlying technology that powers our energy economy.
