Welcome!
Show business is not my area of expertise — I leave that to the talented artists and executives at Broadway at The Paramount. But I do know numbers. And they speak volumes about the importance of the arts to the Seattle economy.
In King, Kitsap, Pierce and Snohomish Counties alone, nonprofit arts organizations and their patrons:
• Contribute close to $2.4 billion to the economy• Create 35,376 jobs• Produce $996 million in labor income • And pay $1.5 million in taxes.
Simply put, the arts enrich our lives.
That’s why KeyBank is pleased to sponsor the KeyBank Broadway at The Paramount series.
Annie…If/Then… Bullets Over Broadway…Jersey Boys…Newsies…Motown the Musical.
They’re all part of our “economic stimulus package.” The one that compels us to help businesses and families thrive as well as contribute to the communities where we live and work.
We feel great about what we’re doing here… in Seattle, in our offices, in the community, and here at the beautiful Paramount Theatre. And we welcome your feedback — stop by any KeyBank branch to start a conversation.
Meanwhile, ladies and gentlemen, enjoy the show.

MARSHALL BRICKMAN (Book). Films (author or co-author): Sleeper, Annie Hall, Manhattan, Manhattan Murder Mystery, For the Boys, Intersection; (as writer/director): Simon, Lovesick, The Manhattan Project, Sister Mary Explains It All. Television: “The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson” (head writer), “The Dick Cavett Show” (head writer/co-producer). He has published in The New York Times, The New Yorker, Playboy and other periodicals and was the 2006 recipient of the Writers Guild of America’s Ian McClellan Hunter Lifetime Achievement Award. Jersey Boys, his first venture into musical theatre, won four Tonys including Best Musical. The Addams Family, his second Broadway venture (with co-author Rick Elice), is currently playing on national and international tours. He lives in New York City and hopes to die in his sleep, surrounded by his loved ones and their attorneys.
RICK ELICE (Book) co-wrote Jersey Boys (winner 2006 Tony Award, 2007 Grammy Award and 2009 Olivier Award for Best Musical) with Marshall Brickman. His play, Peter and the Starcatcher, received nine 2012 Tony Award nominations (including two for Rick), and won five, more than any play of the season. It’s currently playing in New York and on tour across North America. Also on Broadway, Elice wrote The Addams Family (with Marshall Brickman, music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa), currently touring North America, with productions in Europe and South America. In 2014, The Old Globe Theater in San Diego will present the world premiere of his new musical, Dog and Pony (music and lyrics by Michael Patrick Walker). Rick is currently writing a musical for Disney Theatricals with Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, based on the film Make Believe; and Superfly (co-written with Seth Zvi Rosenfeld), directed and choreographed by modern dance legend, Bill T. Jones. Heartfelt thanks to those whose work in the theater makes him grateful for the day he was born: Sondheim, Stoppard, Bennett, Prince, Fosse, Robbins, Nichols, Tune, Nunn, Laurents, Stone, Kushner, Taymor, Papp, Schumacher, Schneider, Coyne, Brickman, Timbers and Rees. Rick thinks about them a lot. He never thought about Jersey much. He does now.
BOB GAUDIO (Composer) wrote his first hit, “Who Wears Short Shorts,” at 15, for the Royal Teens, and then went on to become a founding member of the Four Seasons and the band’s principal songwriter. He also produced the hit “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers” for Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand (Grammy nomination, Record of the Year) as well as six albums for Diamond, including The Jazz Singer. Other producing credits include albums for Frank Sinatra, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross, Michael
encoreartsseattle.com 11
Jackson and the soundtrack for the film of Little Shop of Horrors. Several songs co-written with Bob Crewe have been cover hits for such artists as the Tremeloes (“Silence Is Golden”), the Walker Brothers (“The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore”) and Lauryn Hill (“Can’t Take My Eyes Off You”). With his wife, Judy Parker, Gaudio produced and co-wrote the Who Loves You album for the Four Seasons and one of Billboard’s longest-charted singles (54 weeks), “Oh, What a Night.” A high point in his career came in 1990 when, as a member of the original Four Seasons, Gaudio was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 1995, he was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, which hailed him as “a quintessential music-maker.” To this day, Bob Gaudio and Frankie Valli still maintain their partnership…on a handshake.
BOB CREWE (Lyricist). “New York was pregnant in the fifties,” says Bob Crewe, “gestating with possibilities.” Crewe and music partner Frank Slay became independent writer-producers when the category hadn’t yet been invented. In 1957 they wrote and produced “Silhouettes” for The Rays, which skyrocketed to #1. Suddenly, producers in demand, they launched Freddie Cannon’s “Tallahassee Lassie” and Billy & Lillie’s “Lah Dee Da.” Crewe’s 1960’s unprecedented producing success with The Four Seasons birthed a new sound, striking a major chord in American pop. “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Walk Like a Man,” “Candy Girl,” “Ronnie” – all smashes! When lead Frankie Valli demanded a solo turn, Crewe and Bob Gaudio wrote (and Crewe produced) “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You,” which eventually became the century’s fifth most-played song. Crewe ran hot with artists from Vicki Carr, Oliver and Lesley Gore to Mitch Ryder, co-writing with Charles Fox the soundtrack for Jane Fonda’s film, “Barbarella.” Then his own Bob Crewe Generation exploded with Music to Watch Girls By. In 1972 Bob was in L.A., where he revived Frankie Valli with “My Eyes Adored You” by Crewe and Kenny Nolan. They also co-wrote Patti LaBelle’s “Lady Marmalade” (#1, July ’75), which was a hit again on the soundtrack of Moulin Rouge (#1, June ’01)...David Ritz

Celebration at The Moore. Photo by Danielle Barnum.
Your Dollars @ Work Disney Musicals in Schools
In March 2014, Disney Theatrical Group invited Seattle Theatre Group to launch Disney Musicals in Schools (DMIS) in the Seattle region. Together, our goal is to provide the training necessary for teachers to continue a tradition of theatre education in under-resourced elementary schools for years to come.
Over the course of a semester, Seattle Theatre Group Teaching Artists guide school teachers through the process of mounting a musical with student performers. This year, Dunlap, South Shore, Martin Luther King, and McMicken Heights Elementary Schools have been selected to participate in the program.
On Tuesday, March 29, 2016, these schools will perform excerpts from their renditions of Aladdin, The Jungle Book, and The Lion King in the Student Share Celebration at The Moore Theatre. The student share event is free and open to the public.
Your support makes it possible to provide this experience to students and faculty. Performance rights, ShowKit materials, Professional Development, and onsite Teaching Artist support are provided at no charge. Disney Musicals in Schools empowers schools to connect students with the arts now and into the future, exposing them to the many benefits of musical theatre, including the development of self-confidence, collaborative skills, speaking and reading skills, and creativity.
For more information or to make a donation to support Seattle Theatre Group’s Disney Musicals in Schools, visit:

AileyCamp represents a vital continuation of Alvin Ailey’s vision, using the power of dance to enrich and positively alter the lives of children. Conceived in 1989, with nine sites across the country, Seattle Theatre Group AileyCamp launches this June in the Seattle region. AileyCamp is a FREE six-week program for middle schoolers who are
most in need of a lift to help them achieve their greatest potential.
AileyCamp changes lives… A former camper describes in her own words:
When I was 12 and arrived at AileyCamp, I was angry, and having a hard time in school, and not living with my Mom because we were always fighting. I didn’t understand why I was feeling and acting that way until I experienced the personal development class at AileyCamp. For the first time in my life, I was around adults who believed in my potential. The personal development classes helped me understand why I was confused and angry. AileyCamp literally changed my life.
You can help to assure that at least sixty 11- to 14-year-old kids from our community are given a chance to succeed like she did.
At AileyCamp, campers take daily dance classes from experienced teaching artists. The campers also participate in daily Personal Development and Creative Writing courses that focus on empowering young people to direct their own lives, preventing drug abuse, improving nutrition, and using writing and other creative forms as an effective means of expressing thoughts and feelings.
Let Ailey Lift You and Lift the Spirits of Local Youth!
Your support provides full tuition, daily transportation to and from camp, breakfast, lunch, snacks, and all needed attire and materials.
• Class materials per camper = $41• Camp attire per camper = $125• Camp cost per day per camper = $148• Meal cost per week per camper = $420• Cost per week of camp = $740• Transportation cost per camper = $1,000• Full scholarship for each camper = $4,440
Support STG AileyCamp today by visiting stgpresents.org/education/aileycamp.

STG AileyCamp preserves the legacy of longtime Ailey company leader, STG friend, and Tacoma native Calvin Hunt. In his honor, STG invites you to pledge your support so local youth can benefit from the passion and dedication exemplary of Mr. Hunt’s commitment to arts education. Together, we can increase access to life-changing arts experiences!
To date, 31 out of 60 scholarships have been underwritten thanks to many generous individuals and the following corporate and community supporters.
