A LIFETIME OF HITS…SEALED WITH A HANDSHAKEBy David Freeland

J ersey Boys, the Tony and Grammy Award-winning Broadway musical about

the spectacular rise of pop icons Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, has been seen worldwide by over 22 million people, all of them captivated by the dazzling recreations of classic 1960s hits such as “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” and “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You”—set within a gripping rags-to-riches story. But for many, the show’s most unforgettable moment comes when Frankie Valli, as lead singer, decides to enter into a business partnership with the group’s key-boardist and songwriter, Bob Gaudio.

“So should we have somebody draw up a contract?” Gaudio asks. Frankie responds by offering his hand.

“You want a contract? Here—a Jersey con-tract.” Their handshake becomes a pact, ce-menting a relationship that has endured for close to 50 years.

“The story of the friendship between Frankie Valli and Bob Gaudio is something that just makes my heart melt every time I think about it,” says Pat Prescott, popular host on Los Angeles radio station 94.7 The Wave and a longtime Jersey Boys fan.

“When I think about that handshake and what it has meant,” Ms. Prescott observes,

“how we as a society have so much gotten away from those values of real friendship, of loyalty, of consistency in relationships—it stands out to me tremendously.”

“This is a man’s show,” asserts Ms. Prescott. “Sometimes when I go to the theater, espe-cially musicals, my boyfriend says, ‘Why don’t you take one of your girlfriends?’ And when I first went to Jersey Boys, I did go with a girlfriend. Afterward, I told my boyfriend, ‘You have got to see this show. You’re going to

love it.’ And he actually went with me twice.”

O t h e r h u s b a n d s and boy-friends have become just as enthused. Before Jersey Boys, Dale

Skarl was a self-described “Broadway nov-ice.” Now, having seen the show more than 50 times across the U.S. and Canada, he un-derstands why it has earned such a following with “the guys.”

“It’s because of the camaraderie between the four main characters,” Skarl states. “The story is about men and men’s success and their triumph over failure. Maybe it’s like the team aspect that goes back to sports, or brotherhood and fraternity. It’s a story about not giving up.”

Together Dale and his wife, Susie, admin-ister the Jersey Boys fan site and blog. They fell in love with the show around the time it opened on Broadway, in 2005.

“To be honest, I was the one who dragged Dale to Jersey Boys,” explains Susie, “because I’ve been a big fan of The Four Seasons for-ever. I went just because of loving the music, growing up with it.”

At first, Susie recalls, the experience seemed like “your typical fun night at the theater, people having a nice time.” But then, she says, something unexpected happened.

“When I actually watched the people in the audience, whether they were 60 years old or 22, everybody was bopping in their seats. I don’t know if they had a rough week at work, or else they were going back in time to high school, but you would have thought they didn’t have a care in the world. If they could have gotten up and danced they would have.”

“We’ve noticed this on multiple occasions, with many different audiences,” Dale adds.

“You’ll look over to your left or right, and you’ll see someone that’s sobbing because the music takes them back to a place that they remember so well and has meaning for them. In the end everybody’s on their feet and everyone loves the show.”

Jersey Boys is at the Fisher Theatre Nov. 17–Dec. 6. For tickets, please see our ad to the left.

OYSTER PERPETUAL GMT-MASTER II

“In July of 1899, when Joseph Pulitzer and his cronies decided to up the price they charged the New York City paper-boys called newsies for their ‘papes,’ a

boy named Kid Blink threw down his stack of The World and called for a strike,” re-counts Thomas Schumacher, president of Disney Theatrical Productions and the man behind all of Disney’s Broadway hits. “This was a time of widespread child labor, and the rights of those boys and girls were seriously abused. Kid Blink, who is the basis of News-ies’ Jack Kelly, didn’t want much. He just wanted a square deal and a fair shake.”

And miraculously, after just two weeks, the paperboys won. Pulitzer capitulated. A compromise was reached, and a step was taken on the road to protecting children in the workforce.

Almost a hundred years later the husband and wife duo of Bob Tzudiker and Noni White concocted an original screenplay, in-spired by the real-life newsboys strike, as a David and Goliath tale of plucky street kids taking on the giants of newsprint.

At the time Disney was reinventing ani-mation under the leadership of Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg, fusing ani-mation with the showbiz pizzazz of Broad-way musical. Thanks to the creative genius of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, Katzenberg decided to recast Tzudiker & White’s Newsies script as a musical, much to the shock and awe of its writers.

The film, starring a teenaged Christian Bale, was made at a cost of $15 million and earned less than $3 million in its initial re-lease which came at a low point of moviegoer interest in musicals. The all-singing, all-dancing story faded into history. Or did it?

Newsies, it turns out, has a massive fan base among twenty- and thirty-somethings who know the movie and who grew up with Disney’s animated musicals. “We suddenly had a whole new generation who seemed not to find it remotely unusual that someone should just break into song,” Schumacher explains. “So without really intending it, Disney’s animated films were creating the-atregoers of the future.”

But it wasn’t until larger-than-life Harvey Fierstein joined the Newsies creative team that the story was ready for the stage. “He not only came up with a new love story,” remem-bers Schumacher, “he fixed a lot of problems and structured it like a musical, which was very important.” Disney coproduced a short run at the venerated Paper Mill Playhouse in Milburn, New Jersey which soon moved to Broadway for a limited run. “We were going to do it for 10 weeks,” Schumacher remem-bers. “Then due to overwhelming fan sup-port, we extended it through the summer, and then just let it run open-ended.”

“I think the success of Newsies is also the times we live in,” says Schumacher. “When this show opened on Broadway, I realized how much more appropriate it was for our times than for 1992. These desperately poor working kids were just asking for a square deal and a fair shake. And, today, people all over the world are coming together in their towns and cities and demanding a fair shake. It’s an interesting alchemy, the success of this show, but I think it has a lot to do with basic American notions of fairness. That’s what makes people feel so good about Newsies.”

Newsies is at the Detroit Opera House Dec. 15–27. For tickets, please see our ad on page 6.

I’m having the time of my life!ELEANOR BERGSTEIN (Writer) is a novel-ist, screenwriter, producer and director. Her stories have been published in national maga-zines, ranging from Transatlantic Review to Redbook and Cosmopolitan. Her first novel, Advancing Paul Newman, about women and politics in the 1960s, was published by the Vi-king Press, and her first movie script was It’s My Turn, starring Jill Clayburgh and Michael Douglas. Her second novel, Ex-Lover, about sexual obsession, was published by Random House. She has worked on a variety of film projects, including the final script revision of Sister Act. She then wrote and directed Let It Be Me, which starred Campbell Scott, Jen-nifer Beals, Leslie Caron and Patrick Stew-art. Her most famous project was one of the most successful independent films of all time, Dirty Dancing. It was the unique continu-ing response to the story over the years that made her decide to reimagine Dirty Dancing as a stage event. The multiple viewings by au-diences all over the world made her suspect that what the audiences really wanted was to be more physically involved in the story. This would mean that its ultimate form should be one that combined dance and story and music

onstage in a new way. It was also her chance to add new scenes not in the movie, as well as songs she had wanted for the movie and been unable to obtain. Ms. Bergstein, through her company Magic Hour Productions, is at work on a new stage musical set in London in the late 1960s, a new work of fiction, and prepar-ing a film to be shot in Rome as well as film to be shot in Slovenia. JAMES POWELL (Director) most recently di-rected the hugely popular re-imagined Cam-eron Macintosh production of Les Misérables, which began in the UK and then a US tour, Spain, Canada, Japan, Korea, Australia, and Broadway. As an Associate Director, James has mounted 1st class productions of Cam-eron Macintosh and Disney’s Mary Poppins throughout the world. He is delighted to be back at the helm of Dirty Dancing, after di-recting this version in London, Toronto, Hol-land, Germany, and now the USA.KATE CHAMPION (Original Choreogra-pher) is the Artistic Director and founder of the Sydney based dance-theatre company Force Majeure. She has also worked variously as a director/choreographer/performer for Sydney Theatre Company, DV8 Physical The-atre, Australian Dance Theatre, Opera Aus-tralia, Belvoir, Legs on the Wall, NIDA and The English National Opera. In 1996, Kate was awarded the Robert Helpmann Scholar-ship for Choreographic Excellence enabling her to create her first solo work Face Value which was awarded a Green Room and a MO Award. In 1997 she directed Under the Influ-ence for Legs on the Wall, which premiered in Sydney and toured to the Edinburgh Fringe and Riverside Studios, London. In 2001 she created a new solo show About Face and in 2002 directed Same, Same But Different for Force Majeure. Both these productions won Helpmann Awards. Kate choreographed the world premiere of the stage version of Dirty Dancing, which opened in Sydney November 2004 and has subsequently toured to Europe, UK and USA. Since 2005 Kate has directed Already Elsewhere, Tenebrae 1 and 11, The Age I’m In, Not In A Million Years, Never Did Me Any Harm, a co-production with Sydney Theatre Company) and Food, a co-production with Belvoir) for Force Majeure.
