<p>Segundo o site da revista &#8220;Variety&#8221;, as atrizes participaram durante o último fim de semana dos testes preliminares que foram realizados no Centro Cultural Lincoln de Nova York, assim como outros atores de musicais como Matthew Morrison e o barítono brasileiro Paulo Szot.</p>
<p>Ambos são atores do premiado musical &#8220;South Pacific&#8221;, por cuja interpretação Szot ganhou um prêmio Tony.</p></blockquote>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Well, it&#8217;s been a week since Chris and I saw <a href="http://www.lct.org/showMain.htm?id=174"><em>South Pacific</em></a> in NYC&#8230;  And every day since, I still find myself humming (or more often singing) &#8220;Some Enchanted Evening&#8221; or &#8220;Bali Hai.&#8221;  I&#8217;ve been lucky enough during my life so far to see many fine and memorable shows performed on Broadway and in San Francisco.  But I don&#8217;t recall ever spending a night at the theater as magical as last Friday.  This production was perfection: the cast, the orchestra, the set, the venue, the costumes, Lt. Cable&#8217;s bare chest (but I digress&#8230;).  And of course the music and lyrics are as lovely as ever.  An enchanted evening indeed and a night I shall remember forever.</p>
<p>When I first thought about a trip to NYC to see a bunch of shows, I brought it up to Chris over dinner &#8211; asking if we could maybe go to NYC for my birthday.  His response?  &#8220;Sure, let&#8217;s go.&#8221;  To quote Nellie Forbush, I&#8217;m in love with a wonderful guy&#8230;</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a little taste of what we got to see &#8211; though needless to say, seeing the entire production at Lincoln Center is beyond compare.  Nonetheless, I challenge you not to get the shivers (or if you&#8217;re anything like me, the weepies&#8230;) when Paulo Szot sings&#8230;</p>

<p>Consider it a recession one-two punch: Famous for touring the five boroughs each summer, the <a href="http://www.metoperafamily.org/metopera/" target="_blank">Metropolitan Opera</a> announced in April that it would be offering <a href="http://www.metoperafamily.org/metopera/news/features/detail.aspx?id=8590" target="_blank">a series of recital concerts</a> in lieu of their traditional—and highly anticipated—complete opera performances. And at last night’s opening concert, we were told that the Central Park SummerStage sound system is in need of a $250,000 upgrade. While the latter made for some cringeworthy moments in the first act (not to mention an amplification of every breath and cough from the headset mikes), it didn’t detract from the fact that this recital by <a href="http://www.cami.com/?webid=1946" target="_blank">Alek Shrader</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paulo_Szot" target="_blank">Paulo Szot</a> and <a href="http://www.lisetteoropesa.com/" target="_blank">Lisette Oropesa</a>, pictured left to right above, may have been one of the Met’s best summer performances, period.</p>

<p>I spent both of the last two evenings crying while actors sang love songs on stage. It was marvelous. Luckily on both occasions my companion(s) were tolerant of the waterworks and realized they were actually indicative of what a wonderful time I was having.</p>
<p>Monday night I saw the new revival of <a title="West Side Story" href="http://www.broadwaywestsidestory.com/" target="_blank">West Side Story</a>, which is currently in previews at the <a title="Palace Theater" href="http://www.palacetheatreonbroadway.com/" target="_blank">Palace Theater</a>. Arthur Laurents, at the age of 91, is doing a revival of his own show that goes in a totally new direction- the Puerto Rican characters speak and sing in Spanish. At first I found the scenes that were almost entirely in Spanish, like an argument between Anita and Bernardo, jarring and confusing. Subtitles were deemed a distraction so if you don&#8217;t speak Spanish you can only guess at exactly what&#8217;s being said. I didn&#8217;t begin to really appreciate how powerful the contrast between the languages could be until Anita and Maria sang A Boy Like That/I Have a Love. When Maria breaks into English the audience feels that she&#8217;s embracing Tony and the country he&#8217;s part of, but also that she&#8217;s painfully breaking from her own. The music is even more powerful, especially through the voices of these two truly phenomenal actresses- <strong>JOSEFINA SCAGLIONE </strong>and <strong>KAREN OLIVO. </strong></p>
<div id="attachment_190" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-190" title="Karen Olivo (Anita), George Akram (Bernardo) and company" src="http://thebigredapple.wordpress.com/files/2009/03/anita-and-bernardo.jpg" alt="Karen Olivo (Anita), George Akram (Bernardo) and company" width="500" height="333" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Karen Olivo (Anita), George Akram (Bernardo) and company</p></div>
<div id="attachment_193" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 244px"><img class="size-full wp-image-193" title="Josefina Scaglione (Maria) and Matt Cavenaugh (Tony)" src="http://thebigredapple.wordpress.com/files/2009/03/gallery-0101.jpg" alt="Josefina Scaglione (Maria) and Matt Cavenaugh (Tony)" width="234" height="350" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Josefina Scaglione (Maria) and Matt Cavenaugh (Tony)</p></div>
<p>The final scene after Tony has been killed, in which Maria threatens to kill herself and members of both gangs, feels raw and terrifying. She switches hysterically from English to Spanish and her pain and confusion is more clearly demonstrated through this mix of languages than it could possibly have been otherwise. I certainly recommend seeing this production, if possible see it before it officially opens.</p>
<p>As interesting and enjoyable as West Side Story was I will admit that it paled somewhat in comparison to <a title="South Pacific" href="http://www.lct.org/showMain.htm?id=174" target="_blank">South Pacific</a>, which I saw last night at the Lincoln Center Theater. We arrived late (my fault; I mixed up the time) but were immediately swept away by the energy and talent of the performers. The theater is much smaller than the Palace and even from the balcony we had a fantastic view. Andrew Samonsky lives up to his character&#8217;s description (&#8220;You sexy Lieutenant!&#8221;). The relationship between him and Liat (Li Jun Li), though really the secondary romance of the musical, has more of a feeling of authenticity than I expected. These are two actors truly embodying their characters; they are both swept away by a love that seems to exist outside of reality. The feeling of bitterness and desire in the song &#8216;Happy Talk&#8217; is amazing. I started crying then and kept on crying right through until the end of Act II.</p>
<div id="attachment_194" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 260px"><img class="size-full wp-image-194" title="Andrew Samonsky (Lt. Joseph Cable) and Li Jun Li (Liat)" src="http://thebigredapple.wordpress.com/files/2009/03/5019700.jpg" alt="Andrew Samonsky (Lt. Joseph Cable) and Li Jun Li (Liat)" width="250" height="250" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Andrew Samonsky (Lt. Joseph Cable) and Li Jun Li (Liat)</p></div>
<p>Of course it was Kelli O&#8217;Hara (Nellie Forbush) and Paulo Szot (Emile de Becque) who made the show truly phenomenal. Since we missed the opening scene it took me some time to really feel the chemistry between them. My first impression of her was formed during &#8216;I&#8217;m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair,&#8217; which she performed beautifully.</p>
<div id="attachment_196" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-196" title="Kelli O'Hara (Nellie Forbush)" src="http://thebigredapple.wordpress.com/files/2009/03/media_nellienurses1.jpg" alt="Kelli O'Hara (Nellie Forbush)" width="500" height="326" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Kelli O&#39;Hara (Nellie Forbush)</p></div>
<p>I can&#8217;t count how many times I&#8217;ve sung that song in the shower after a breakup; it is ingrained into my subconscious image of relationships. Her southern accent and his French accent were problematic for me at first; they felt inauthentic and distracted from the words being spoken. In song they appealed to me much more. When he sings &#8216;This Was Nearly Mine&#8217; the irony is present to a degree that recalls Greek tragedy more than musical theater.</p>
<div id="attachment_197" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 470px"><img class="size-full wp-image-197" title="Paulo Szot (Emile de Becque) and Andrew Samonsky (Lt. Joseph Cable)" src="http://thebigredapple.wordpress.com/files/2009/03/southpacificprod460d.jpg" alt="Paulo Szot (Emile de Becque) and Andrew Samonsky (Lt. Joseph Cable)" width="460" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Paulo Szot (Emile de Becque) and Andrew Samonsky (Lt. Joseph Cable)</p></div>
<p>I was involved enough that I actually forgot there was a happy ending and was so swept away by it I was hysterical all the way through the curtain calls. If you have any positive associations with this musical see it now before this cast begin to leave the production.</p>
<p>Stay tuned for additions to this week&#8217;s roster of events and for my weekend post!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Esses dois dias que fiquei sumida andamos muito por New York, chegava ao quarto do hotel exausta e não pensava em atualizar o blog, <em>sorry.</em> A cidade esta lotada, acho que é por conta da semana de moda. Ontem aconteceu um fato curioso enquanto andávamos na 5ª avenida (seria a Oscar Freire americana, só que mais chique) porque além de ter as marcas mais luxuosas do mundo, as lojas são imensas um espetáculo a parte. Estávamos passando em frente a Armani e vimos grades para afastar fotógrafos e jornalistas da loja. A vitrina estava grosseiramente tampada com papel e durex, para ninguém ver lá dentro, das duas uma: ou o desfile da marca estava acontecendo lá dentro (alguém sabe me dizer?) ou alguma celebridade estava comprando lá, porém acredito mais na possibilidade de desfile, digo já por que.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://imageshack.us"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/738/armani3rg3.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /></a><br />
Armani durante o protesto.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Entramos na loja ao lado da Disney, é incrível como bobajada me desperta muito mais interesse e ficamos um bom tempo apreciando as oportunidades da loja. Quando saímos havia um protesto de humanos vestidos de coelhos em frente à loja. Pedindo par a Armani não usar pele de bicho, atenção meus caros leitores, couro também é pele. No meio do protesto havia uma garotinha, a única de mostrava a cara e mais a diante uma moça dando entrevistas para vários canais com a blusa do <em>Peta.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://imageshack.us"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/9375/armani2dp5.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /></a><br />
Protesto pacifista.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://imageshack.us"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/4103/armani1pq0.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /></a><br />
A garotinha estava toda inflada e se sentindo importante. Ao lado havia uma senhora de Coelho que especulo ser sua mae.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Décimo dia em New York:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Meu pai embora tenha vindo muitas vezes a New York, não conhecia a ponte do Brooklyn, então fomos até lá. Pegamos o metrô aqui na <em>Times Square.</em> a linha A azul e descemos na estação <em>Brooklyn Bridge.</em> Essa estação fica bem a frente da entrada da ponte, porém já no Brooklyn, se quiser ir de Manhattan para o Brooklyn tem que descer uma estação antes.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://imageshack.us"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/4521/pontenx9.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /></a><br />
Minha mae e eu no começo da ponte, no Brooklyn ainda.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://imageshack.us"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/5180/ponte1sq1.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /></a><br />
Meus pais perto do meio da ponte.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://imageshack.us"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/6208/ponte3fv0.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /></a><br />
Minha mãe e eu na ponte no final da ponte, já em Manhattan. Terezinha te dedico essa foto.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A ponte é bem bonita e parte dela ainda é de madeira. Os pedestres caminham por uma passarela que fica ao centro e no alto da ponte, os automóveis debaixo e aos lados. Porém o passeio não é tão agradável quanto cruzar a ponte Hercílio Luz no verão de Florianópolis. O vento enquanto estávamos sob o rio é muito forte e o frio, nem se fala. Só aconselho ir à ponte num dia de temperaturas positivas e sem vento&#8230; com muito frio, parece que tem facas entrando em nossos narizes, um horror!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Depois fomos a JR, uma loja de eletrônicos, meus pais compraram algumas coisas e procuramos o Playstation três do meu irmão, lá estava US$480 e procuramos um pedal de guitarra para ele, mas não achamos o que ele pediu.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Almoçamos no <em>Baluchi’s,</em> um restaurante indiano muito bacana no Soho. Nem jantamos fora nesse dia, andamos muito por Manhattan.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://imageshack.us"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/3365/samosaas4.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /></a><br />
Pedi mais uma vez a samosa.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Décimo primeiro dia em New York</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Queria muito ver a estatua da Alice, a do país das maravilhas, no Central Park. Quando chegamos lá a estatua parecia a sucursal do <em>playground</em> a criançada trepava no monumento como <em>macacos.</em> E não poderia ser diferente, na entrada da estatua tem uma placa dizendo que a homenagem do marido a esposa que amava todas as crianças. Fiquei lá esperando as crianças saírem para tirar uma foto da Alice sozinha.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Na verdade tirei muitas fotos da Alice sozinha e depois eu com ela em diversas posições e simplesmente adorei e achei divertido!</p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://imageshack.us"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/4827/alicezq8.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /></a><br />
Eu com minha personagem favorita.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Passeamos muito no Central Park, ficamos toda a manhã e parte da tarde. Além da Alice vi novamente o edifício Dakota, local John Lennon morou e morreu&#8230; o local parece meio amaldiçoado, foi lá que gravaram o <em>Bebê de Rosemary.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://imageshack.us"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/1379/dakotasq8.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /></a><br />
Edificio Dakota.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://imageshack.us"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/9865/imagene1ef1.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /></a><br />
<a href="http://g.imageshack.us/img5/imagene1ef1.jpg/1/"></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Também tirei uma foto numa homenagem que fizeram ao <em>Beatles</em> no <em>Central Park</em> um circulo com a palavra <em>Imagine.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://imageshack.us"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/3315/imageneyp7.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /></a><br />
<a href="http://g.imageshack.us/img301/imageneyp7.jpg/1/"></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Passeamos pela 5ª avenida e eu fui surpreendida com o meu presente de aniversário, fiquei muito feliz, afinal de contas, quem não gosta de ganhar presentes?</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://imageshack.us"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/4548/bolsari7.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /></a><br />
<a href="http://g.imageshack.us/img242/bolsari7.jpg/1/"></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Passamos na F.A.O. a loja de brinquedos mais legal do mundo, segundo minha mãe, o berçário é o que tem de mais legal. Uma coisa interessante é que no segundo andar da loja sempre esta tocando musica brasileira, todas as vezes que fui lá tive essa surpresa agradável.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://imageshack.us"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/977/faofm4.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /></a><br />
Minha mãe pediu para postar essa foto e dizer que o “berçário” é a seção favorita dela.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Jantamos no <em>Stardust</em> para dar aquela “variada”, os cantores não são qualquer cantor de bar de noite não. Tem um japa (meio japa meio mexicano, ainda não consegui decidir o que ele é) que canta ópera. Os outros cantam sons mais dançantes e pop, ontem fizeram até um trenzinho que chegou sair do restaurante.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://imageshack.us"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/527/japaor4.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /></a><br />
Ele é japa ou mexicano? Pior, canta em italiano.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Décimo Segundo dia em New York</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Hoje foi um dia de compras, nem tenho fotos para compartilhar com vocês&#8230; choveu o dia todo e chuva com tempo frio não é muito confortável, no entanto senti que a temperatura subiu!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://imageshack.us"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/1193/southgw0.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /></a><br />
<a href="http://g.imageshack.us/img301/southgw0.jpg/1/"></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">De noite fomos assistir <em>South Pacific</em> com o barítono brasileiro Paulo Szot no papel principal. Paulo venceu no ano passado o Prêmio Tony, uma espécie de Oscar do teatro, na categoria &#8220;Melhor performance de ator principal em musical&#8221; , aqui em Nova York. A peça é uma delícia, a gente nem vê o tempo passar e quando acaba, já acabou? Fiquei impressionada com uma seqüência de cenas, onde dois atores aparecem nus após tomar banho e em seguida a mocinha entra no banho, cai água de verdade nela, ela ensaboa o cabelo e aparece sem o penteado.<em>South Pacific</em> além do prêmio de melhor ator, &#8220;South Pacific&#8221; levou o prêmio de direção, cenografia, iluminação, som, figurino e melhor &#8220;revival&#8221;. É mole?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>It&#8217;s been one week since I saw <em>Rent</em>&#8217;s final performance in the movie theater.  I have seen five shows (all but one were musicals or near-musicals) since then, not to mention another near-musical and another play last week.  And they all, in some way, can be tied back to <em>Rent</em> in my head.  I&#8217;ll go one by one <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">here</span> (actually, now that I think about it, I&#8217;ll list them here and split them into smaller discussion posts; contentcontentcontent), and I&#8217;ll ask you to remember that I&#8217;m not reviewing anything here&#8211;just tossing out some personal thoughts cultivated in the glow of my reexaminations of the <em>Rent</em> experience.  These are the shows:</p>
<p><em>In The Heights</em><br />
<em>Hairspray</em><br />
<em>Boom Bap Meditations </em>and <em>the break/s</em> (both part of the Hip-Hop Theater Festival that I&#8217;ll discuss together)<br />
<em>Rock of Ages</em><br />
<em>Close Ties </em>and <em>Man For All Seasons </em>(very different plays that I&#8217;ll discuss together)</p>
<p>So that&#8217;s the list.  And I&#8217;ll start, fittingly, with a show I&#8217;ve already discussed semi-intensively here: <em>In The Heights</em>.  This is what I wrote about the show right before The Tonys, which was right after I saw it for the first time:</p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;"><em>In The Heights</em> made me cry, and made me cry repeatedly (well, not cry, but tears in my eyes intermittently from the moment the music started), not because of the touching stories of love and acceptance and keeping life going in the face of all kinds of hardships (because honestly, the storylines are nothing we haven’t seen before), but because–and forgive the emotion here, but the emotion is really the point–GOD DAMN IT THOSE ARE PUERTO RICAN FLAGS UP THERE, and Dominican flags, and some Mexican and Cuban, and that’s Washington Heights, and it’s <strong>really</strong> Washington Heights, and that dude is starting the show by rapping, and it’s good rapping, really good rapping, really real rapping, and there’s a b-boy, and a real b-boy, and the Spanish fits, and <em>no pare, sigue sigue</em> is just, it’s just, god damn it, it’s perfect.  And we’re not gang members or drug dealers or even Lothario Latin lovers–we’re people, hard-working people who struggle with gentrification and self-worth issues and questions of leaving home and putting our pasts behind us to succeed or clutching madly to keep them close and push us even higher.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;">And I was in the audience on Mother’s Day, and this, I can’t stress this enough, this is what I want Latinos to do on Mother’s Day, I want them to go see <em>In The Heights</em>, all dressed up, full families, and I want them cheering when the lights go down, and I want them cheering and “oooooh”-ing when Nina and Benny kiss on the fire escape, and I want little Puerto Rican and Dominican boys to feel like Usnavi is looking right at them when he’s rhyming the way I felt like John Leguizamo’s Miggy was looking right at me all through <em>Spic-o-Rama</em>.  And you know what?  I’ve got tears in my eyes (just barely, son, just barely) even right now–right now–as I’m writing this.</span></p>
<p>And all that is still there in a big way, although I wasn&#8217;t overwhelmed with the emotion of the whole thing this time around, probably because I had seen it and was prepared (and maybe because I was trying to be cool in front of Kitt Kittredge, who I was with this time instead of my mom, in front of whom I have no need to look cool).  The pride is embedded in the piece, and I still think that&#8217;s the second biggest legacy this show will leave when all is said and done (the first being its incredible use of hip-hop within a full-on dramatic context&#8211;I&#8217;ll come back to this idea when talking about <em>the break/s</em> and <em>Boom Bap Meditations</em> later in the week/future).  But the thing I didn&#8217;t originally recognize about the show &#8212; the thing I actually got completely wrong the first time around &#8212; was this:</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a <em>really</em> good show.</p>
<p>I think I overvalued the impact that all those Puerto Rican flags had on my enjoyment the first time around.  I credited the show for a solid understanding of Broadway musical storytelling structure, but kind of downplayed the effectiveness of the story&#8217;s specifics.  I wasn&#8217;t even convinced that the songs (outside of the couple of big showstoppers) were entirely new, exciting, or hummable.  I was wrong on most, if not all counts.  It&#8217;s a good show, a strong show getting great performances that smooth over any trouble spots for sure, but it&#8217;s well put-together and (and I hate using this word) <em>universal</em> somehow &#8212; you don&#8217;t have to have firsthand knowledge of Puerto Ricans or Dominicans or hip-hop or The Heights to get it.  If you go with it, you&#8217;ll dig it.  You&#8217;ll probably love it.</p>
<p>(The problem of universality, we might have discussed before, is a major point of contention for many writers of color.  Our work, if it goes to &#8220;mainstream&#8221; audiences, is expected to &#8220;transcend race/ethnicity&#8221; so it can be consumed by the population at large.  In other words, your &#8220;average theatergoer&#8221; (I&#8217;m euphemismising away) needs to see/relate to your Puerto Rican characters as something other than (<em>more</em> than?) just Puerto Ricans &#8212; they need to be &#8220;real people.&#8221;  I think when I state it that way, &#8220;euphemisms&#8221; and all, it&#8217;s easy to see exactly what the problem with that &#8220;thinking&#8221; &#8220;is&#8221;.  Okay, those last two weren&#8217;t euphemisms at all.  I&#8217;ll talk more about this soon&#8211;specifically when we spend some time on those plays mentioned above.)</p>
<p>Point is, this show does the &#8220;universal&#8221; thing without compromise.  It tells a good, easy to follow story, and it tells it well, and it happens to tell it through cultural forms associated with young Latino folk.  That&#8217;s no small accomplishment.  it&#8217;s what I attempted to do with <em>Welcome to Arroyo&#8217;s</em> (and if any of you reading this haven&#8217;t read that play, it&#8217;s being published next year, so there&#8217;s your chance), only my story is a little messier and militant and maybe particular to one culture.  Lin-Manuel and Quiara and team have succeeded in not giving up the flavor while making the meat a little more tender and palatable for all-to-most tastes.  That&#8217;s a good thing.</p>
<p>That night, there was a couple sitting directly in front of us (and Britney Spears about ten rows up and over), and they were white, and they were older (maybe my parents&#8217; age), and they were reacting semi-loudly throughout the show, trading thoughts back and forth in that &#8220;ooh, I&#8217;m enjoying this&#8221; kind of way.  It was good to see.</p>
<p>And how does this all tie to <em>Rent</em>?  Two things that I&#8217;ve mentioned here before:</p>
<p>1.  <em>Spring Awakening</em>, some say, is the logical heir to <em>Rent&#8217;s</em> fans, and I&#8217;d say that&#8217;s at least partially right.   But some of us, we kind of needed a show about young folks in New York City to come along and fill the void <em>Rent</em> is leaving behind.  We needed a multicultural show.  We needed a show that, for all its perceived toughness in form and music, is an old-fashioned musical at heart.  That&#8217;s <em>Heights</em>.</p>
<p>2.  At the Tonys, the original cast of <em>Rent</em> came out onstage and sang, and the audience applauded&#8230;but Lin-Manuel gave them the standing ovation they deserved, shortly after giving the coolest acceptance speech ever.  And it&#8217;s fitting, because as much as <em>Rent</em>&#8217;s artistic success is tied up in its creator&#8217;s backstory, so is <em>Heights</em>&#8216;.  Historians are going to look back on this year&#8217;s ceremony and say &#8220;Paulo Szot?  Really?&#8221;</p>
<p>This is now my longest post ever, I think, so I&#8217;ll stop and sum up by repeating all I really wanted to say about this topic anyway:</p>
<p>Go see <em>In The Heights.</em></p>

<p><span style="color:#800000;">PUBLICADA NO JORNAL &#8216;O GLOBO&#8217; &#8211; </span><a href="http://oglobo.globo.com/cultura/mat/2008/06/16/baritono_paulistano_paulo_szot_vence_tony_por_atuacao_em_musical-546822596.asp" target="_blank"><span style="color:#800000;">CLIQUE AQUI E LEIA DIRETO NO SITE</span></a></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;">Quando foi indicado, há um mês, ao prêmio mais importante do teatro americano, o Tony Awards, o cantor brasileiro Paulo Szot disse que preferia não pensar no assunto para manter os pés no chão e se concentrar em seu trabalho diário, estrelando o musical da Broadway &#8220;South Pacific&#8221;. Agora, já pode tirar os pés do chão. No domingo à noite, ele foi anunciado vencedor do prêmio na categoria &#8220;Melhor performance de ator principal em um musical&#8221;, como mostra matéria de Eduardo Fradkin publicada no jornal O Globo. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;">A ocasião é marcada por estréias. Este é o primeiro musical da carreira de Szot, barítono especializado em óperas. É a primeira vez que um brasileiro vira astro da Broadway, e ele é o primeiro a ganhar um prêmio Tony, considerado o Oscar do teatro americano. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;">Ao ser declarado vencedor, ele disse, em português, numa transmissão ao vivo pelo site do Tony: </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;">- Dedico esse prêmio aos artistas brasileiros, especialmente àqueles que lutam por um reconhecimento nacional e internacional. Um beijo no coração, Brasil. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;">Szot era o favorito em sua categoria. Vinha de uma sucessão de vitórias. Foi eleito melhor ator de musical desta temporada pelos júris do Outer Critics Circle Awards, do Drama Desk Awards e do Theatre World Awards (este, restrito a estreantes na Broadway e na off-Broadway). </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;">___________________________</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Obrigada, Szot, por colocar o Brasil em destaque nesta arte que é o extremo da expressão da alma humana. Parabéns e desejo muito sucesso para você e para todos nós!</span></p>
<p>PS: Mas que homem lindo! E canta muito!!</p>

<description><![CDATA[  Mais um brasileiro ganha um prêmio importante no cenário mundial esse ano. Depois de Tropa de Elit]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%;text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Verdana;">Mais um brasileiro ganha um prêmio importante no cenário mundial esse ano. Depois de Tropa de Elite e Sandra Corveloni é a vez de Paulo Szot receber o prêmio Tony, a maior premiação do teatro Norte Americano. Na noite passada em Nova York o brasileiro recebeu das mãos de Liza Minnelli o prêmio de melhor ator musical. Um barítono de grande respeito, Paulo Szot de 38 anos vê seu nome com a atuação na peça “South Pacific”, que conta com bom humor o preconceito dos soltados na segunda guerra mundial. Em seu primeiro trabalho na Broadway ele interpreta um fazendeiro francês em oito corridas semanais. E com sua atuação já ouvia vários elogios e não foi surpresa alguma vencer o cobiçado premio.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%;text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%;text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Verdana;">O Brasileiro concorreu com mais de 200 concorrentes para conseguir o papel, e fez seu nome na Europa como cantor lírico. E em novembro pretende voltar à França pra retornar a Opera carreira que cumpriu exclusivamente antes desta oportunidade.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Um dos barítonos mais respeitados do mundo, o brasileiro Paulo Szot, de 38 anos, venceu na noite deste domingo (15) em Nova York, nos Estados Unidos, o Prêmio Tony, considerado o Oscar do teatro americano.</p>
<p><img style="vertical-align:top;" src="http://www.broadway.com/site_images/552420.jpg" alt="" width="230" height="275" /></p>
<p>Paulo foi eleito o melhor ator musical por sua atuação em “South Pacific”, espetáculo que relata de forma descontraída o racismo enfrentado por soldados durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial.</p>
<p>A peça, que estreou na Broadway em 1949, voltou aos palcos com oito concorridas apresentações por semana.<br />
Paulista de Ribeirão Preto, Paulo tem 38 anos e, durante 12 anos, atuou exclusivamente como cantor lírico. Descoberto na ópera, o ator causou sensação ao derrotar 200 concorrentes que disputavam a vaga de protagonista na pele de Emile de Bequea no espetáculo “South Pacific”.</p>
<p>O brasileiro aparece na capa do jornal ao lado da fotografia de Patti LuPone, que ganhou o prêmio de melhor atriz em musical.</p>
<p>Ontem, ao receber o prêmio, Szot disse, em português:</p>
<p>&#8220;Dedico esse prêmio aos artistas brasileiros, especialmente àqueles que lutam por um reconhecimento nacional e internacional. Um beijo no coração do Brasil!&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Assista</strong> ao <a href="http://todamidia.folha.blog.uol.com.br/arch2008-06-15_2008-06-21.html#2008_06-16_10_27_16-10987816-0">vídeo</a> com o agradecimento.</p>
<p>O musical em que ele atuou também foi o grande vencedor da noite, com sete dos onze prêmios a que foi indicado.</p>
<p>O brasileiro tem recebido elogios e adjetivos como &#8220;magnético&#8221; e &#8220;romântico&#8221; no papel do fazendeiro francês. Em entrevista recente, ele disse que nunca imaginou que a Broadway contrataria um brasileiro para fazer o papel de um francês.<br />

<description><![CDATA[Last night saw the Tony Awards ceremony, and I was hoping to see some success for the Broadway produ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Last night saw the <strong>Tony Awards</strong> ceremony, and I was hoping to see some success for the Broadway production of <em>Sunday In the Park with George, </em>originally produced at the Menier Chocolate Factory. Unfortunately, it didn&#8217;t pick up any of the 9 awards that it was nominated for &#8211; instead, it was left to <em>South Pacific</em>, <em>In The Heights</em> and <em>Gypsy </em>to share the spoils..</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p><a title="In The Heights - official website" href="http://www.intheheightsthemusical.com/" target="_blank"><strong><em>In the Heights</em></strong></a> picked up 2 of the biggies &#8211; <a title="In The Heights - Tony awards" href="http://www.tonyawards.com/en_US/nominees/shows/200805091210305936062.html" target="_blank">Best Musical</a> and Best Original Score, as well as Best Choreography and Best Orchestrations.</p>
<p>The revival of <em><a title="Gypsy" href="http://www.gypsybroadway.com/#" target="_blank"><strong>Gypsy</strong></a></em>  won <a title="Gypsy - awards" href="http://www.tonyawards.com/en_US/nominees/shows/200805091210305631500.html" target="_blank">three of the big acting awards</a> &#8211; Leading Actress (<strong>Patti LuPone</strong>), Featured Actor (<strong>Boyd Gaines</strong>) and Featured Actress (<strong>Laura Benanti</strong>). It doesn&#8217;t feel like that long since I was in New York when the show was last revived on Broadway, with Bernadette Peters, but this production seems to have been more successful.</p>
<p>It faced strong competition in the musical revival stakes, and ended up missing out on the Best Revival award to <em><strong><a title="South Pacific" href="http://www.broadway.com/gen/show.aspx?SI=554324" target="_blank">South Pacific.</a> </strong>South Pacific </em>ended up as the biggest winner on the night, winning 7 of the eleven awards that it was nominated for.</p>
<p>Judging by last night, it must be a beautiful show, after winning all 4 design awards &#8211; Scenic, Costume, Lighting and Sound Design! It also saw its leading man, <strong>Paulo Szot</strong>, pick up the Best Actor gong and its Director, <strong>Bartlett Sher</strong>, take home Best Director.</p>
<p>Congratulations to all of last night&#8217;s winners, and back luck to the cast and team for <em>Sunday in the Park with George.</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://enteatro.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/lg_tonys2008_poster.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-14" style="float:left;" src="http://enteatro.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/lg_tonys2008_poster.jpg?w=202" alt="" width="177" height="262" /></a>A algumas horas, no Radio City Musical Hall em Nova Iorque, ocorreu a entrega dos Tony Awards, prêmio considerado equivalente ao Oscar da Broadway.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Quanto aos resultados, não tivemos muitas surpresas, mas a premiação desse ano foi especial para o Brasil pois Paulo Szot, primeiro brasileiro protagonista na Broadway, foi o vencedor do prêmio de melhor ator num musical. O que também não foi nenhuma surpresa tendo em vista as maravilhosas críticas que renderam de sua atuação como o fazendeiro francês Emile de Becque em South Pacific, musical que levou no total 7 Tonys.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Além das críticas, o brasileiro já ganhou prêmios como o Drama Desk, the Outer Critics Circle, o the Theatre World Award, além agora do ápice de todos eles que foi o Tony Awards, onde concorreu com os veteranos Daniel Evans (Sunday in the Park with George) e Tom Wopat (A Catered Affair), e ao mesmo tempo com dois outros estreantes, Stew (Passing Strange) e Lin-Manuel Miranda (In The Heights), ambos também bem aclamados pela crítica com seus musicais completamente originais. Szot fez um discurso breve, agradecendo amigos, pessoas do ramo musical, a família, etc. Inclusive mandou um feliz aniversário em português para a sua mãe. Após o discurso, os vencedores tiveram a chance de agradecer alguém que eles pudessem ter esquecido e Szot mais uma vez falou em português e dedicou o prêmio ao povo brasileiro, principalmente aos artistas que lutam pelo reconhecimento nacional e internacional. Assista esse discursso aqui: <span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/Kf5cJ90_uII&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/Kf5cJ90_uII&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Seguim amb Manon. Anys després de la seva <span style="font-style:italic;">Manon</span>, <a href="http://www.jules-massenet.com/">Massenet</a> va escriure una breu òpera en què recupera els personatges de la primera: <span style="font-style:italic;">Le portrait de Manon</span>. Des Grieux viu apartat del món i té cura del seu pupil, el vescomte de Jean de Morcerf, que està enamorat d&#8217;Aurore, pupila de Tiberge, amic fidel de Des Grieux. Aquest viu obsessionat pel record de Manon, de la qual en guarda un retrat (el retrat del títol), tot i que prohibeix a Tiberge que l&#8217;anomeni. Com que Aurore i Jean són de classes socials diferents, Des Grieux s&#8217;oposa a la relació i Tiberge hi intervé. Com? Accidentalment descobreixen el retrat de Manon i, en adonar-se de la semblança d&#8217;Aurore i Manon, Tiberge fa vestir la noia com Manon i la porta davant de Des Grieux, que finalment accepta la relació entre els dos joves quan Tiberge li explica que la semblança no és casual, ja que Aurore és filla de Lescaut, el germà de Manon.</p>
<p>Amb els anys, els personatges han canviat: Des Grieux s&#8217;ha convertit en un cavaller conservador i prudent, mentre que Tiberge s&#8217;ha convertit en un eixelebrat que es dedica a viure la vida. El canvi és palès també en el canvi de veu de Des Grieux, que a <span style="font-style:italic;">Manon</span> era un tenor i a <span style="font-style:italic;">Le portrait</span> és un baríton. L&#8217;òpera és molt breu, uns cinquanta minuts, però té moments destacables; alguns de més aviat còmics (com el duet d&#8217;Aurore i Jean en què busquen la manera de suïcidar-se sense que cap de les que troben els semblin bé), d&#8217;altres de més emotius (com l&#8217;ària «L&#8217;amour, ineffable mystère» que canta Aurore).</p>
<p>El més interessant, però, va ser <span style="font-style:italic;">La voix humaine</span>, de <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Poulenc">Poulenc</a>, basada en l&#8217;obra de teatre homònima de <a href="http://www.jeancocteau.net/">Jean Cocteau</a> (que va escriure el llibret de l&#8217;òpera). Durant uns cinquanta minuts, una dona parla per telèfon amb el seu amant, que l&#8217;ha deixada. La dona, interpretada per <a href="http://www.angelesblancas.com/">Ángeles Blancas</a>, es passa tota l&#8217;estona anant amunt i avall d&#8217;una cambra del seu pis amb el telèfon a l&#8217;orella, parlant amb l&#8217;home i discutint quan altres trucades interfereixen en la seva línia. La dona intenta salvar la relació i utilitza tots els recursos al seu abast —fer veure que no està afectada, intentar que l&#8217;amant senti pena per ella, recordar els moments feliços, insinuar que se suïcidarà si no el pot tenir— perquè l&#8217;home s&#8217;ho repensi. Tots els sentiments, les emocions, van sorgint al llarg de la conversa, subratllats per la música sense caure en l&#8217;excés en cap moment però marcant-ne la intensitat. Ángeles Blancas va brodar tots els matisos d&#8217;aquesta conversa irregular i la va omplir d&#8217;intensitat —massa potser, al final semblava esgotada—, cosa que li va valer el reconeixement del públic.</p>
