As we begin a new year, there may not be any sign of an actual date for the Tony Awards or a timeframe for the return of live theater, but with a new administration and the continued rollout of the vaccine, it feels like a new world anyway. With that in mind, the Next Best Theater team decided to take a look at the under-utilized form of musical storytelling, the song cycle, in the form of Jason Robert Brown's "Songs For A New World." Join Nicole Ackman, Casey Lee Clark, Cody Dericks, and myself as we journey through the sixteen "moments" of the first produced work of one of the great contemporary musical theater composer-lyricists.

2020 has been a strange year for theatre fans everywhere as most theaters have remained closed since mid-March.

We also talk about the resilience of the theatre community, the Ratatouille Tik Tok musical, and some organizations that could use your help.

The Next Best Theatre Podcast: Episode 35 - Our Reactions To The 74th Annual Tony Award Nominations10/19/2020 
By Michael Schwartz
In what has been undoubtedly the oddest Tony season of our lifetimes, the 74th annual Tony Award nominations were announced this past Friday for the 2019-2020 Broadway season. Due to the pandemic, the selection was somewhat limited which led to more than a few surprising choices and even exclusions. The ceremony will be held virtually later this year (date currently unspecified) and we will be back for our winner predictions then with another free episode. Until then, take a listen down below to hear from myself, Nicole Ackman, Dan Bayer, Casey Lee Clark, Cody Dericks & Lauren LaMagna on this free full-length episode. Thank you so much for listening.

With theaters across the country, and even the world, closed because of the quarantine, theatre can seem completely inaccessible. Broadway theaters closed on March 12 and are currently set to remain closed until at least June 7, and regional theatres have followed suit. While most people are stuck at home, this is the perfect time to explore some of the options for filmed theatre that exist online. While watching a filmed production doesn’t exactly recreate the experience of seeing a show in person, filmed theatre is a unique and worthwhile form of its own. Many productions already exist online and countless theatres are making their shows available right now because we’re all stuck at home. Whether you’re missing the theater experience or you want to take advantage of this time to learn more about theatre, here are some great sources for filmed productions to watch.

Last month gave us the gift that is Tom Hooper's film adaptation of "Cats." Naturally....there were a lot of things wrong with it. But where did most of those problems stem from? Well, for this month's Next Best Theatre Podcast, myself, Nicole Ackman and Cody Dericks travel deep inside of the mind of Andrew Lloyd Weber to figure out what is the point of "Cats." What makes it so endearing? Why did it work on stage but not on film? We discuss these topics and more on this bewildering podcast review.

For this month's review, Michael Schwartz, Casey Lee Clark, Dan Bayer and I are back during this holiday season to discuss "She Loves Me." Inspired by Miklós László’s Parfumerie, the show follows in the tradition of "The Shop Around the Corner" and "In the Good Old Summertime" by placing the classic Hungarian play in a new context. With a score by the legendary Sheldon Harnick and Jerry Bock, accompanied by a perfect Joe Masteroff book, "She Loves Me" has stood the test of time to remain one of the most perfect musical comedies to ever grace the Broadway stage. So why does it still feel underrated? We explore that and many other questions and themes around this musical gem. A terrific way to kick off the holiday season.

The Tonys sometimes feel like the purest of the televised award shows. They’re a celebration of the Broadway community and everyone seems legitimately thrilled to be attending. Their most important feature is that they provide a glimpse into a very hard-to-access art form by showing off the Broadway season’s offerings to people across the country who might not be able to afford a trip to New York and the steep and ever-rising Broadway ticket prices. This year’s Tony Awards certainly exuded that warm and friendly feel that the Tonys are known and loved for. James Corden returned to host and delivered some very funny sketches while never making the award show feel like an extension of “The Late Late Show” (not a carpool karaoke session in sight!). His genuine love for Broadway was very clear and he managed to walk that tricky line of being a presence without making the show seem all about him. |
