You might not get what you’re expecting in Bob Balaban’s Parents (1989). Labeled as a horror comedy and starring Randy Quaid, one might expect some wild-and-crazy, whack-a-doodle hijinx. Instead, you get the button-down collar, tie-and-lab-coat-wearing version of Mr. Quaid, and some very dark humor with a heavy emphasis on dark. Quaid and Mary Beth Hurt are the parents of Michael (Bryan Madorsky), an emotionally flat and expressionless kid living a nightmare with his parents. Enter Sandy Dennis as Millie Dew, the school social worker, who jumps right into the frying pan. Literally. Mileage may vary regarding outright laughs, but the Grue-Crew enjoyed the watch and have much to discuss.

At the time of this writing, Parents is available to stream from Tubi and on physical media as a Blu-ray disc from Lionsgate Home Entertainment. 

Every two weeks, Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1980s podcast will cover another horror film from the 1980s. The next episode’s film, chosen by Chad, will be Aenigma (1987). It’s Fulci time!

Toni Rembe Theatre’s OZ

Experience the enchantment and wonder of "The Wizard of Oz" brought to life in a dazzling musical production at Toni Rembe Theatre. This beloved classic, based on the timeless book by L. Frank Baum, is a feast for the senses with music and lyrics by Harold Arlen and E. Y. Harburg, accompanied by background music composed by Herbert Stothart.

Under the masterful direction and choreography of Sam Pinkleton, the talented cast takes center stage, delivering sensational performances that will leave you spellbound. Chanel Tilghman shines as Dorothy Gale, capturing the essence of this iconic character with grace and charm. Alongside her are the incredibly talented El Beh as Uncle Henry, Oz Guard, and Coroner, showcasing their versatility by also playing the cello, and Darryl V. Jones as the endearing Tin Man and Hickory.

On some days, Katrina Lauren McGraw mesmerizes as Glinda and Aunt 'Em, while Danny Scheie brings the Scarecrow and Hunk to life with his impeccable comedic timing. Cathleen Ridley roars onto the stage as the Lion and Zeke, captivating the audience with their powerful presence. The wickedness of the Wicked Witch of the West and Miss Gulch is expertly portrayed by Courtney Walsh, leaving a chilling impression.

The supporting cast, including Ezra Reeves, Travis Santell Rowland, Ada Westfall, and Beth Wilmurth, add depth and vibrancy to the production, each displaying their immense talent and contributing to the seamless storytelling. The ensemble, led by Rowland as the dance captain, showcases their remarkable skills, creating visually stunning dance numbers that will leave you breathless.

The creative team behind this extraordinary production has left no detail untouched. The scenic and costume designs by David Zinn transport the audience into the magical land of Oz, while Stacey DeRosier's lighting design adds depth and nuance to each scene. Ursula Kwong-Brown and Danny Erdberg masterfully create a captivating soundscape that immerses the audience in the world of Oz. Swings also include Angel Adedokun, Keiko Shimosato Carreiro, Kunal Prasad, and Ryan Patrick (RP) Welsh.

Special mention must be made of Ada Westfall, who not only provides additional orchestrations but also serves as the music supervisor and assistant music director. Their expertise ensures that the music and melodies resonate beautifully throughout the performance. The dedication and talent of David Moschler as the music director and Leigh Robson-Davis as the associate director further elevate the production to new heights.

Furthermore, the inclusivity and diversity of this production deserve praise. The decision to include LGBTQI actors and actresses in key roles, such as the Wicked Witch, Lion, Tin Man, and Scarecrow, demonstrates a commitment to embracing and celebrating all identities. By making traditionally binary roles gender-fluid, the production opens its arms to the queer, trans, and non-binary community, fostering a more accepting and inclusive theatrical experience.

“The Wizard of Oz" at Toni Rembe Theatre is a triumphant musical spectacle that will captivate audiences of all ages. With its exceptional cast, imaginative staging, and breathtaking performances, this production is a testament to the enduring magic of one of the world's most beloved stories. Don't miss your chance to journey down the Yellow Brick Road and rediscover the power of friendship, courage, and the pursuit of one's dreams.

This recent incarnation of “The Wizard of Oz” will have you transported into a truly enchanting experience with the mesmerizing production of "Wizard of Oz" at the American Conservatory Theatre's Toni Rembe Theatre in San Francisco. This adaptation offers a fresh twist on the beloved classic, captivating audiences of all ages with its unique approach and inclusive casting.

One of the standout features of this production is its scaled-down cast, which creates an intimate atmosphere and allows for a more immersive experience. What sets this rendition apart is the innovative use of common children's toys and party props, transforming the stage into a familiar and magical world that resonates with everyone. From the twister mat to pompoms, an inflatable dinosaur, functional children toy cars and oversized toy houses and even a typewriter. The contemporary adaptation was also improv’d and developed with children in mind. Not naughty but there are some jokes for the older crowds but as the younger peeps say these days… iykyk!

"The Wizard of Oz" tells the captivating story of Dorothy Gale, a young girl from Kansas, who is swept away by a tornado to the enchanting land of Oz. In her quest to return home, she embarks on a remarkable journey accompanied by her loyal dog, Toto, and meets extraordinary characters along the way.

Dorothy befriends the Scarecrow, who desires a brain, the Tin Man, who longs for a heart, and the Cowardly Lion, who seeks courage. Together, they navigate the treacherous Yellow Brick Road in search of the mysterious Wizard of Oz, hoping he will grant their wishes. Along their path, they encounter challenges and confront the Wicked Witch of the West, who relentlessly pursues Dorothy and her companions.

Throughout the adventure, Dorothy learns the importance of friendship, self-belief, and the true meaning of home. With the help of Glinda, the Good Witch of the North, Dorothy discovers that the power to return home lies within herself all along.

"The Wizard of Oz" is a timeless tale that reminds us of the power of dreams, the strength of human connections, and the boundless possibilities that await us when we embark on an extraordinary journey of self-discovery and courage.

The stage management team consists of Chris Waters, Megan McClintock, Penny Pendleton, and Dick Daley. The creative team includes David Zinn as the scenic and costume designer, Stacey DeRosier as the lighting designer, Ursula Kwong-Brown as the sound designer and music consultant, Danny Erdberg as the sound designer, Amanda Villalobos as the Toto puppet designer, Ada Westfall as the music supervisor and assistant music director, David Moschler as the music director, and Leigh Robson-Davis as the associate director. The casting was done by Katie Craddock and the Casting Collective (Laura Espino and Keith Carames). The A.C.T. producing team comprises Andy Chan Donald as the associate artistic director, Louisa Liska as the director of general management and operations, Amy Dalba as the general manager, and Martin Barron as the director of production. The production is directed and choreographed by Sam Pinkleton. The American Conservatory Theatre San Francisco's Toni Rembe Theatre is led by Pam McKinnon as the artistic director and Jennifer Bielstein as the executive director.

“The Wizard of Oz” must close June 25, 2023 and you can buy tickets at act-sf.org.

Jennyjennydots!

Double Jenny, for final matinee shenanigans in the 1991–92 season of the London production (25 March 1992). Beth Robson (main Jenny) and Samantha Biddulph (Jenny 2) came up with some naughty last-minute fun.

Obviously not too last-minute, though: everyone knows what they're doing, and the Gumbie trio changed one of the lines. "And she's even created a beetles' tattoo" has changed to "And she's even.... [something???] ... for you!"

Guy-Paul de St Germain is Mistoffelees, and when I posted this on insta he confirmed the identity of the Jennys - and must have tipped them off, since they then turned up in the thread and added their own comments. They were both technically swings for this season, but the first cast Jenny (Louisa Shaw) had, according to Guy-Paul's encyclopaedic memory, left the show before the end of the run to move to Les Misérables. (Screenshots below the cut.)

To be clear: the tap duet/battle with Mistoffelees was an established thing at the time, as was having Misto do most of the singing that now goes to Munkustrap. So Beth and Guy-Paul do that bit as per usual, while Samantha pretends to 'conduct' the beetles in the background.

Beth Robson, by the way, was dance captain for the 1998 film, and there's a brief glimpse of her covering Jenny in the 'Glamour cat' reprise at the end of Act I (pulling Jemima away from Griz and hissing at her).

Here is another programme part of my CATS merchandise and related items collection. This is from the first stop on the CATS UK Tour 1989, May to November 1989, in Blackpool at Winter Gardens (not to be confused with the Winter Garden Theatre in New York where the CATS Broadway production was being held at the same time).

Like all the other programme I own, the cast list is filled with notable individuals, however, there is more significance in this programme as it marks thek being involved in CATS for the first time!

Rosemarie Ford is Bombalurina for this stop, interestingly the only other time she played the character in a production of CATS outside of the 1998 film. Rosemarie would play Bomba in 1991 in the Royal Variety Production, and in 1998 as part of Hey! Mr. Producer. After Blackpool, she would later play Griabella on the next stops of the tour, and then in the London production over a course of six years. This is where her first involvement in CATS started.

Geoffrey Garratt is Skimbkeshanks (and a dance captain), a role he would also later play in London and in CATS (1998).

John Partridge is Alonzo/Rumpus Cat, a role he played for years before he played Tugger. This is also his start in CATS.

Beth Robson is a Swing, and as far I can tell, this was also her start in CATS.

Last but not least, the start of Rory Campbell in CATS, who played Bustopher Jones, Gus, and Growltiger here, and who later play the same roles in Zurich 1991-1992 and in London from November 1992 until June 1994.

This is a very interesting programme in my collection and it certainly has a history to it!

That Jenny cover is the talented Beth Robson, who was the dance captain for the 1998 film!

She was a swing in London on and off from 1990 until 1998, when she was principal Tantomile for most of 1998 and 1999!

Here she is as a swing in 1990:

And then as Tantomile in 1998 (with Richard Reyland as Coricopat and Chris Compton as Bill Bailey/Tumblebrutus. I do not know who the other Cat is):

We all know that scene in 98 Cats where Jo covers Victoria. I can’t help think of Griz’s second appearance where Jenny … I’m pretty isn’t Susie Mckenna.

Here’s a shout out to the 98 Jenny cover!

In any case they all get the #Noirvember tag and as for posting caps there will be a little Noirvember overspill into the start of December as there has been other years!

Jemima being protected by the Most Mum Cat! Here played by Beth Robson rather than Susie McKenna - I think this is the only scene in the film where she covers the role, or at least, where we can see her clearly enough to be sure.

[white-cat-of-doom]

Another addition to my CATS programme and brochure collection is this CATS London programme from February 1999. I would have loved for there to be more photos in here, but these are likely in the companion brochure, which I do not own (yet).

The cast here includes some familiar faces from CATS (1998) like Veerle as Jemima (my favourite Jemi) and Beth Robson, who was the dance captain and assistant choreographer, and was an on set swing (she covered Jennyanydots for that one short reprise of 'Grizabella the Glamour Cat').

Also featured is Jack Rebaldi who played Munkustrap on and off in London from 1997 to 2001, and then decided that he might as well do Berlin (2002-2003), Madrid (2003-2004), Dusseldorf (2005), the German Tour (2005-2006), and the German Tent Tour (2010) as well. Because why the hell not when you can speak and sing in at least three different languages (I have been told that he actual speaks six different languages) well enough to perform, and are just generally taller than everyone else? Everytime you look at the cover of CATS (1998) with the cast photo, that is Jack as Munk (Veerle is also on that cover as Jemima).

There are also many other cast members in this programme who were a part of other previous and future productions of CATS, such as Antwerp 1996 and the UK tours.

As I have said before, these are snapshots into CATS history, and I am glad to own them!
