When producer/executive producer John Yap, who helmed a series of studio cast recordings of major stage musicals for the British That’s Entertainment Records (or TER) label in the early ’90s (subsequently reissued by Jay Records), came to Godspell, he had
In his liner notes to this studio cast recording of Carousel, Stanley Green recalls that Ferenc Molnar had turned down Puccini among others who wanted to adapt his play Liliom musically before agreeing to let Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II do it
Between 1943 and 1951, Rodgers & Hammerstein wrote five Broadway musicals, four of which — Oklahoma!, Carousel, South Pacific, and The King and I — became huge hits with long runs, million-selling cast albums, movie adaptations (with million-selling soundtrack albums), and frequent revivals. The fifth show, which curiously came right in the middle, was Allegro (1947), a flop that was nearly forgotten, preserved only on a 33-minute cast album. The Rodgers and Hammerstein Organization, which administers the songwriters’ properties, has an obvious interest in promoting their works, and it is behind this years-in-the-making all-star two-CD studio cast album of Allegro, billed as the “first complete recording.” Ted Chapin, president and executive director of the organization, served as a co-producer and annotator on a project that had no deadline, but apparently did have certain budget constraints. The producers first went to Eastern Europe (where it’s cheaper to hire musicians) to have the Istropolis Philharmonic Orchestra record the instrumental score, then, over a period of two years, waited out the schedules of a dream cast of Tony Award-winning actors and actresses to overdub their parts one by one. That’s a far cry from the single day usually mandated by Actors Equity for the cast of Broadway musical to get together in a recording studio and make a cast album.Allegro, remembered as Rodgers & Hammerstein’s most experimental work, has a plot so simple and familiar as to be mundane. Running from 1905 to 1940, it follows the life of a country doctor, Joseph Taylor, Jr. (Patrick Wilson), from birth to middle age, as he marries, leaves his small town for a big city and, after becoming disillusioned, leaves his ambitious, unfaithful wife and returns home. Oscar Hammerstein II, whose original libretto was not based on any earlier source, had told similar kinds of stories in such musicals as Show Boat and Music in the Air. His intention, imperfectly expressed, was not simply to illustrate the old adage that power corrupts, but to point out that the trappings of success can distract a person from the work that produced the success in the first place. It’s a subtle and hardly universal problem, and it’s easy to see how Hammerstein’s point might have been missed, especially because the form of Allegro was so unusual. The innovative staging aspects are not apparent on any recording, but the score is also out of the ordinary, relying heavily on choral parts to tell the story, with the main character given relatively little to do (the major singing parts go to the doctor’s mother, played by Audra McDonald, his grandmother, played by Marni Nixon, and his wife, played by Laura Benanti) and some of the major songs given to minor characters (notably the one song that successfully emerged from the score, “The Gentleman Is a Dope,” sung by Liz Callaway, and “So Far,” later interpolated into the 1995 stage version of the 1945 movie musical State Fair, sung by Judy
Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe’s 1947 Broadway musical Brigadoon, a fantasy about two disillusioned 20th century New Yorkers who find romance in a magical 18th century Scottish village, was the songwriting team’s first big success, boasting a score that included the standards “Almost Like Being in Love,” “The Heather on the Hill,” and “Come to Me, Bend to Me.” Over the years, it spawned a series of recordings, including the original Broadway cast album; the 1954 original motion picture soundtrack album with Gene Kelly; a studio cast album with Jack Cassidy and Shirley Jones recorded in 1957 and released in 1958; the 1966 original television soundtrack album with Robert Goulet; the 1988 London revival cast album; and a studio cast album conducted by John McGlinn recorded in 1991 and released in 1992. Of these, arguably the best is the Cassidy/Jones album, since both the Broadway and soundtrack discs are incomplete representations of the score. But this studio cast recording from 1995, starring George Dvorsky, who appeared in an unrecorded New York City Opera production, and featuring Maurice Clarke of the 1988 London revival, is also well done. Dvorsky sings and acts in a stagy but appropriate style that recalls John Raitt in the leading male role of Tommy Albright; Clarke is suitably lively in the secondary role of Charlie Cameron, who gets to sing “I’ll Go Home With Bonnie Jean” and “Come to Me, Bend to Me.” Also excellent is Megan Kelly, handling the soubrette role of Meg Brockie, who sings the saucy “The Love of My Life” and “My Mother’s Weddin’ Day” in a wonderful brogue. The only reservation must be for Janis Kelly, playing the lead female role of Fiona MacKeith, who employs an operatic style to her singing that is out of keeping with the other performances. Still, this is one of the better recordings of Brigadoon. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi Performers: Denise Silvey – Vocals; Donald Maxwell – Vocals; Ethan Freeman – Vocals; Fiona Baines – Vocals; Gordon Sandison – Vocals; Harry Nicoll – Vocals; Janis Kelly – Vocals; Maurice Clarke – Vocals; Megan Kelly – Vocals; Simon Masterton-Smith – Vocals;
A decade after Kismet premiered on Broadway on December 3, 1953, there was no dearth of recordings based on it, starting with the original Broadway cast album on Columbia Records and the 1955 soundtrack album on MGM. But Capitol Records didn’t have a version in its catalog, which seems to have inspired the label to sponsor this 1964 studio cast recording, featuring Gordon MacRae and Dorothy Kirsten. With those leading names, this is a well-sung disc, but it is also skimpy. Capitol decided not to plump for two different singers to handle the parts of Hajj and the Caliph, so MacRae sings both parts, the comic “Rhymes Have I,” “Fate,” and “The Olive Tree,” on the one hand, and the romantic “Stranger in Paradise,” “Night of My Nights,” and “And This Is My Beloved,” on the other. That’s enough singing to make this seem like the LP should be billed “Gordon MacRae and Friends Songs from Kismet.” And it’s “Songs from Kismet” because the score has been cut down, with a number of selections, notably “He’s in Love,” “Gesticulate,” “Was I Wazir?,” and “Rahadlakum,” left out. All of those songs are found on the 1964 studio cast album issued by London Records and billed to Mantovani & His Orchestra, with the singers including Adele Leigh, Robert Merrill, and Kenneth McKellar. That more complete recording is to be preferred over this one, despite MacRae and Kirsten’s efforts, but the original Broadway cast album still hasn’t been bested. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi Performers: Salli Terri – Vocals (Background), Vocals; Bunny Bishop – Vocals; Dorothy Kirsten – Vocals; Gordon MacRae – Vocals; Hayden Blanchard – Vocals; John Guarnieri – Vocals; Johnny Guarnieri – Vocals; Richard Levitt – Vocals; Robert Ebright – Vocals

In 1987, Cole Porter’s 1934 Broadway musical Anything Goes was revamped for a Broadway revival, the changes including a re-jiggered song list that dumped some lesser numbers and interpolated better-known tunes from other Porter works, including “Easy to Love,” “Friendship,” and “It’s De-Lovely,” with the whole score given new orchestrations by Michael Gibson. The Broadway revival, starring Patti LuPone as evangelist-turned-nightclub singer Reno Sweeney, was a big hit, and it was restaged in London in 1989 with Elaine Paige; both productions produced cast albums. This British studio cast recording, following half a dozen years later, is also based on the 1987 revision, with only minor changes. “I Want to Row with the Crew,” a Porter college song that had been interpolated, has been dropped, and instrumental passages have been added or extended (e.g., a full-length “Overture” instead of the brief “Prelude”) to the extent that the disc runs about eight minutes longer than the cast albums. The real selling point for this version, then, must be the cast. Gregg Edelman, a Broadway star who was a replacement in the London revival, is an excellent choice for the male lead, Billy Crocker, singing in a lower tenor than some of his predecessors, for a more virile, less comic effect. Louise Gold, as Reno Sweeney, harks back to the role’s creator, Ethel Merman, giving an enthusiastic performance. Since Matt Zimmerman, as Moonface Martin, aka Public Enemy Number 13, is equally hammy, their duet on “Friendship” is a raucous highlight. The mostly British cast doesn’t have nearly as much trouble with their American accents as the 1989 London revival cast did, although their native voices sneak in here and there, for instance in “Blow, Gabriel, Blow,” when the entire company cheerfully pronounces “been” like “bean” instead of like “bin,” as Americans would. As far as the 1987 version of Anything Goes, the Broadway revival cast album is still the top, but this one isn’t bad. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi Performers: Brian Green – Vocals; Bruce Ogsten – Vocals; Carol Lesley-Green – Vocals; David Firth – Vocals; Denise Silvey – Vocals; Dominic Curtis – Vocals; Gareth Snook – Vocals; Gareth Vaughan – Vocals; Gaynor Keeble – Vocals;
This is the fifth in a series of studio cast recordings of Gershwin musicals sponsored by the Gershwin estate through its Roxbury Recordings label, as issued by Nonesuch. As with such previous efforts, like the 1990 recording of Strike Up the Band, Roxbury president Tommy Krasker has opted to “restore” Oh, Kay! not by trying to re-create what an original Broadway cast album might have sounded like if one had been made just after the show opened on November 8, 1926, but rather to gather together all of the available materials relating to the show and then assemble a composite version to his own satisfaction. In this case, that means this Oh, Kay! is probably closer to what preview audiences saw in Philadelphia than what the opening night crowd saw in New York. Krasker points out that the show ran long in tryout and that some of the early material was cut and some resequenced; he has restored songs like “The Moon Is on the Sea” and “When Our Ship Comes Sailing In” that were cut out of town and moved the hit ballad “Someone to Watch Over Me” back to the first act. What may matter more to modern listeners is the curious casting for the recording, a mixture of Broadway singers, opera singers, and actors. In 1955, when Goddard Lieberson made the first studio cast recording of Oh, Kay! at Columbia Records, he used the Broadway star Jack Cassidy in the leading male role of Jimmy Winter. Thirty-nine years later, Cassidy’s son Patrick Cassidy, also a Broadway performer, is in this one, but in the relatively minor role of Larry Potter, which, however, does allow him to sing one of the better-known songs, the gospel rave-up “Clap Yo’ Hands.” If only he had been allowed to follow more closely in his father’s footsteps. Instead, Jimmy is sung by opera singer Kurt Ollmann, who overdoes the part. His counterpart is another opera singer, Dawn Upshaw, playing the title character. Upshaw makes more of an effort to play the material than Ollmann, but she is still a more interested in her vocal quality than in her characterization. This is especially odd given that the role was written for the pitch-challenged Gertrude Lawrence. Along with the opera singers, however, are actors who can barely carry a tune. The contrast is greatest in “Ain’t It Romantic,” which Upshaw shares with actor Adam Arkin, who not only can’t sing, but also is aggressively playing a gangster character. Maybe the dichotomy is supposed to be funny, but it’s really just strange. The recording, thus, is worthwhile more as an academic exercise than for listening pleasure. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi Performers: Charlie Jones – Tenor (Vocal); Christian Nova – Tenor (Vocal); Evelyn Halus – Soprano (Vocal);

Lucky in the Rain is a book musical, that book written by Sherman Yellen, whose Broadway credits include The Rothschilds and Rex, that uses for its score existing songs from the catalog of veteran songwriter Jimmy McHugh (1895-1969) composed with lyricists Ted Koehler, Dorothy Fields, Harold Adamson, and Al Dubin. (There is also one song, “When Love Goes Wrong,” by Adamson and Hoagy Carmichael.) Yellen’s story, set in Paris in 1927, concerns the romantic and professional adventures of reporters for an American newspaper as they interact with such real historical figures as Gertrude Stein, Josephine Baker, and Isadora Duncan. The musical was produced at the Goodspeed Opera House, a major regional theater in East Haddam, CT, in the summer of 1997, where it received favorable notices from the national press. Unfortunately, that was that until this studio-cast recording made by DRG Records two and a half years later. There is a plot summary in the CD booklet as well as liner notes by Yellen, but in practice the recording is basically a Jimmy McHugh songbook. Peter Matz’s orchestrations lend musical consistency to songs written over a period of decades, and the cast performs them in a theatricalized way. But the lyrics speak of love, the joy of dancing, and other issues without a hint of particular characterization, and the recording contains no dialogue. Also, the assignments of character are not strict by any means. Barbara Cook, for example, is cast as Gertrude Stein singing “On the Sunny Side of the Street,” but doubles as Isadora Duncan with “Love Me as If There Were No Tomorrow.” “Don’t Blame Me” is supposed to be sung by a fictional character, Zach, but once again the singer is Cook, as the notes advise, “forget gender here, it’s all about artistry.” Indeed, and forget the story, too. Instead, just enjoy Cook and her fellow singers including Debbie Gravitte, Malcolm Gets, and Patrick Wilson doing their best with McHugh’s greatest hits. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi Performers: Harvey Estrin – Woodwind; Lawrence Feldman – Woodwind; Seymour Red Press – Woodwind; Andy Stein – Violin; Jack Gale – Trombone; Jay Berliner – Guitar; Jeff Carney – Bass; John Beal – Bass; John Frosk – Trumpet;
Having the right knowledge on film making might help you run a studio or be a goof studio executive, but to become a successful independent film maker, you need have that special awe. In order to become a good producer, you must develop certain skills in you as an individual.
The top 5 requisites among the rest are as follows:
1. Organization
This is perhaps the most important skill required for a producer. Some of you might be organized enough, but you would all agree that this skill can not be taught to anyone neither can one learn it that easily. It is just about trying and getting it in to your system with practice. In case you keep forgetting the place you left your wallet at or are still calculating as to when did you last change the oil of your car, you certainly need to work in this area. Try reading some self help books like – How to get organized. There are many training sessions that could give you easy and effective tips on being organized. Pick you method your Own Way, but do get organized as being a producer this is a basis necessity for you.
2. Quick Decision Making
An individual’s ability of making quick decisions is indeed helpful in several fronts of life. When it comes to film making, the actions and procedures are quite planned and hence predictable regarding the results, yet the field of film making is full of surprises. There are several gray areas that keep on forcing last minute changes in your plans. Being the producer, you would be the captain of the ship with all the onus for good or bad coming back to you. This would call for many decisions to be made right now with no time to think.
In order to develop this skill within your self, first of all realize thoroughly the since the beginning until the end you are responsible for all the decisions taken during film making. Any mistakes that follow can not be blamed on anyone else, but you, the producer. You must have the power to judge when your decisions have gone wrong. Being a film maker, it is a must for you to be decisive and accept the blame when ever necessary. Remember you are the role model for your crew & cast and they would follow what ever you say.
3. A Good Negotiator
All the decisions you make regarding the expenditure of the film would be final. You must understand that without negotiation, if you continue paying the prices quoted always, you shall far exceed your stipulated budget which is not something truly advisable. As a producer it is your duty to know the maximum price you could pay for any item as per your budget. Then try negotiating the bid by 20-30 percent. If it doesn’t work out, make it a point to say no, but do not exceed your budget in any circumstances.
4. Diplomacy
A producer needs to manage a big group of talents and the crew. Hence, you must keep a close watch on the gossips and rumors. When you become a part of some feuds and conflicts, work out a remedy for the situation with out taking any sides. This is art you would need to master as you would use it every working day.
5. Energetic
A producer must be very energetic in order to face the hectic schedules every day. While a lot of you may think that consuming caffeine in the morning wakes you up fresh, remember a producer needs to have some real energy to face the bilk of challenges that come across during the process of film making. So, you must eat well & have lot of vitamins to avoid any break downs during the long working days.
Mastering these 5 basic individual skills, would make you a real successful film producer. Yet, applying your knowledge on film making to the fullest is a pre-requisite to become an independent film maker.
