InDepth InterView: Susan Stroman Talks PBS Mel Brooks Doc, BIG FISH, BULLETS OVER BROADWAY, SCOTTSBORO BOYS In LA/UK, BLAZING SADDLES & More

Today we are talking to a five-time Tony Award-winning director/choreographer celebrated for her stupendous work on CRAZY FOR YOU, THE PRODUCERS, CONTACT, THE FROGS, THOU SHALT NOT, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS and many more - the master musicals director Susan Stroman. In discussing a vast array of topics, Stroman and I touch upon many of her past projects as well as look ahead to her current and future endeavors - that is: the forthcoming Broadway bow of the new musical BIG FISH, starring Norbert Leo Butz, as well as the world premiere of Ahrens & Flaherty's LITTLE DANCER next year. Most importantly, Stroman shines a light on her enduring artistic partnership with Mel Brooks in bringing to lIfe the screen-to-stage musical adaptations of both THE PRODUCERS and YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, with BLAZING SADDLES on the way - their rich collaboration also being highlighted in this week's AMERICAN MASTERS tribute to Mel Brooks on PBS. Additionally, Stroman reflects on some of her lesser-known entities and casts a light on some of her foremost influences as well as candidly discusses her specialty work for a bevy of major stars - such as at SONDHEIM: A CELEBRATION AT CARNEGIE HALL in 1992 - and the finer points of working with Stephen Sondheim and Nathan Lane on Sondheim's most recent original Broadway musical, THE FROGS. Plus, Stroman shares first details of her upcoming collaboration with comedy master Woody Allen on the musical stage adaptation of Allen's Academy Award-winning BULLETS OVER BROADWAY and also offers the 411 on the upcoming Los Angeles and West End productions of Kander & Ebb's THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS - including the real-lIfe role the musical has played in the pardoning of the originally accused nine just last month. Stroman also comments on her work with Hal Prince on the career revue PRINCE OF BROADWAY, opening in Japan in 2015, and also touches upon her ongoing desire to pursue a film adaptation of her multi-Tony Award-winning and genre-redefining 2000 Best Musical, CONTACT. All of that and much, much awaits in this wide-ranging conversation! (more...)

BWW Reviews: GO CADDY - The Perfect Companion for Active Lifestyles

As a very overwhelmed mother of 3 who also has an incredibly busy full-time job and leads a very active lIfestyle as a marathon runner, I'm always looking for ways to streamline and organize my lIfe.

Fashion Photo of the Day 5/19/13 - Amanda Seyfried

The hair, the dress, the makeup, the shoes...amazing. I could not love this look Amanda Seyfried rocked more If I tried. In a sea of black and white this season a little red and black is a welcomed change. Its a classic combination but yet Preen made it look new with a dispersing pattern and a zipper down the front. I also love the contrast of the feminine shape with the edgy details. (more...)

Daily Deal 5/18/13: Must Have Summer Sneakers

I have to admit, I hated wedge sneakers with a passion when they first came out. I mean hated. But then, all of the sudden I had to have them, starred at them daily on the computer and would have shoe envy when I saw someone walking down the street wearing them. It got so bad one weekend when I was traveling and told my sister, 'I felt so short walking through the airport in my converse.' Not one of my finer moments. But I immediately marched over to Bloomingdale's and satisfied my urge with a pair of wedge sneakers and I couldn't be more thrilled with them! (more...)
