Craig Zadan, Prolific Stage, TV, and Film Producer, Dies at 69

There are few people whose work has had as big a role in shaping who I am as a Craig Zadan. His book SONDHEIM AND CO was the first and remains the best consideration of Steve’s work, and of course with his producing partner Neil Meron he revived the screen musical on both tv and film. What an unbelievable loss.

One more show!

Raul Esparza performs “The Flag Song” (cut from Assassins) with new orchestrations by Charlie Rosen, at the Dramatists Guild Fund’s gala. I believe this is the first public performance of this song.

(Not familiar with “The Flag Song?” I wrote about it in The Sondheim Review.)

Broadway fact of the day: Amid the raging success of Annie, the creators planned and began work on a sequel called–I shit you not–Annie 2: Miss Hannigan’s Revenge. This New York Times article tells the saga of this abortive attempt, and it is fascinating and horrifying and laughable in equal measure. Read it and be astonished.

The SM just sent this out in the rehearsal report, and I am laughing harder than I have all week.

i work in theater and am feeling really judged lately because i will be voting for Donald Trump in the election. i thought our community was supposed to be diverse and respect different opinions and points of view, but that is clearly not the case here. and to be clear i'm not shouting vote trump or anything, but when someone asks me i'm honest about who i voting for. how can i make it through this election with all the taboo and judgment?

By choosing the candidate who isn’t actively discriminating against the people you probably work with.

Not having music for the next gig yet means working ahead to the one after that, which in this case means Christmas in August.

Finally attacking the pile of plays I bought at the beginning of the summer.
