#bernard jacobs theater

[upnightmanagingloki]

I saw this play quite a number of times, both in London, and in New York…and I happened to see both of these events! The melon in the wine glass Tom got out of by telling the waiter, when he next appeared, to take away the old one and to fetch a clean, new one (his tone of voice implying “on the double!”) - which was very much in keeping with his character’s state of mind at that point, to be demanding and brusque with the waiter.

The melon on the floor…yep, Tom just picked it up and ate it. His character was furiously stabbing and chomping down everything in front of him, conquering the food; it did seem in character. After Tom put the melon in his mouth and was chewing it…yes, you could see the look pass between the two actors: “Did you REALLY just put that melon from the floor back into your mouth?!!” “Oh yes, I did - oops! And I am chewing it right now. And I have to keep chewing and swallow it because it would be out of character to spit it back out at this point.” You could see both actors on the verge of cracking up, but holding it together, and saying the next line without losing it.

Then, on either the last night, or the second to last night of the play in New York, when Tom filled Charlie’s glass with “Corvo Bianco” during that same scene - for both runs of the play, he had been filling it extremely full, as part of his passive-aggressive actions towards Charlie, since Tom now knew at that point that Charlie was having an affair with Tom’s wife.  This particular night, however, Tom filled it - I swear - almost a quarter-inch above the top of the glass, with just the barest of surface tension managing to keep it from spilling all over the table. Charlie watched Tom do this with surprise, and as he was about to reach for the glass and drink out of it - which was now going to be an Olympic sport, to achieve doing so without spilling it all over the place – Charlie said under his breath, “You bastard!”. Tom glowed with mischievous glee, although he didn’t break character.

Much fun!

The melon is so tricky - it can be so tricky.

OUTSIDERS CAST I AM COMING FOR YOU

[roamwithahungryheart]

The Broadway revival of Parade debuted last night at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre. Alfred Uhry's musical tells the true story of Leo Frank, a Jewish man lynched by antisemites in 1915.

As patrons stood in line, Neo-Nazi protesters gathered outside the theatre, harassing the crowd, holding signs scrawled with slurs and handing out flyers full of antisemitic propaganda. Some were identified as members of the 'Goyim Defense League'. No-one was arrested.

After the show, Ben Platt (who plays Leo Frank) took to social media to address the situation, which he called 'ugly and scary but a wonderful reminder of why we're telling this particular story and how special and powerful art and, particularly, theater can be.'

The continuing cycle of art imitating life shows us why it's important to keep telling these stories. It serves as a reminder to listen to Jewish voices. To stand against hate in all its ugly forms.

Antisemitism cannot - must not - be normalized. It cannot be overlooked. Be a part of the fight against it. If not for a friend or loved one, at the very least as an act of kindness, compassion and basic human decency.

[amnestyliketaz]

it’s kinda crazy that if brody grant stayed with parade he would’ve done two shows in a row in the bernard b jacobs theater

Tom Hiddleston trick-or-treating with fans at Stage Door - Bernard B Jacobs Theater in New York City - October 31, 2019

Happy Halloween 👻

[dzinahk]

From 📱 @deadlinecom EXCLUSIVE: #SigourneyWeaver will make her West End stage debut as storm-creating sorcerer Prospero in The Tempest and #TomHiddleston and #HayleyAtwell will play sparring lovers Benedick and Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing when director Jamie Lloyd returns Shakespeare early this winter to the historic Theatre Royal Drury Lane, a landmark venue in Covent Garden owned by Andrew Lloyd Webber.

[Jamie Lloyd (above)] goes way back with Hiddleston....

Back in early 2019, Lloyd directed a hauntingly sublime version of Harold Pinter’s Betrayal with Hiddleston, Zawe Ashton and Charlie Cox at the Harold Pinter Theatre. It quickly transferred to the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre for a limited run, where it was nominated for four Tony Awards.

2017 Napa Valley A Cappella Extravaganza — VoicePlay live performances

VoicePlay on stage in Napa — photo by Haley Olson

Three years after their previous appearance, VoicePlay returned to northern California as the professional headliners for the annual high school and collegiate vocal festival in Yountville.

A post shared by J.None 🧈🎶 🎙📝🎬🎹🎸📽🤣 (@itsjnone)

J.None was excited to hit the road with the guys after performing with them at Disney World for the previous two months.

.

When you're singing for other a cappella singers, it's hard to go wrong with a little musical theater. VoicePlay has plenty of Broadway material in their repertoire, and this was the most recent addition at the time.

Details:

title: Seasons of Love

original performers: cast of Rent (1996)

written by: Jonathan Larson

arranged by: VoicePlay & AJ Rafael

performance date: 28 January 2017

My favorite bits:

J.None's smooth timbre on the opening lines

the way they seamlessly pass the lead vocals around (But why doesn't Layne get a turn? 😞)

that momentary silence before they start the first chorus

when the rhythm section really kicks in 🥁🎸

Earl's crystal clear high tone on the second verse

that jazzy harmonized riff from Eli, J, and Earl

the layers of sound in the final chorus

such a lovely ending chord

Trivia:

As Geoff mentions in the intro, the guys had recorded this song as a collaboration with AJ Rafael in October, and the video premiered on his YouTube channel a couple weeks before this performance.

.

VoicePlay refuse to be confined to any one genre of music. They've tackled everything from barbershop to hard rock, country to sea shanties, pop ballads to orchestral pieces. So why not revisit the rap hits of their youth?

Details:

title: Aca Top 10 – Old School Rap

original songs / performers: "La-Di-Da-Di" by Slick Rick & Doug E. Fresh; [0:16] "Going Back to Cali" by LL Cool J; [0:32] "Push It" by Salt-n-Pepa; [0:56] "Parents Just Don’t Understand" by DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince; [1:09] "Bust A Move" by Young MC; [1:32] "It's Tricky" by Run-DMC; [1:49] "Just A Friend" by Biz Markie; [2:12] "Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice; [2:21] "The Humpty Dance" by Digital Underground; [2:44] "Rapper's Delight" by the Sugarhill Gang; [3:10] "Walk This Way" by Run-DMC & Aerosmith

written by: "La-Di-Da-Di" by Douglas "Doug E. Fresh" Davis & Richard "Slick Rick" Walters; "Going Back to Cali" by Rick Rubin & James "LL Cool J" Smith; "Push It" by Hurby "Luv Bug" Azor & Ray Davies; "Parents Just Don’t Understand" by Pete Harris, Will "Fresh Prince" Smith, Jeffrey "DJ Jazzy Jeff" Townes; "Bust A Move" by Marvin "Young MC" Young, Matt Dike, & Michael Ross; "It's Tricky" by Joseph "Rev. Run" Simmons, Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, Doug Fieger, & Berton Averre; "Just A Friend" by Marcel "Biz Markie" Hall; "Ice Ice Baby" by Robert "Vanilla Ice" Van Winkle, Mario Johnson, Queen, & David Bowie; "The Humpty Dance" by Earl Humphrey, Gregory "Shock G" Jacobs, & George Clinton; "Rapper's Delight" by Bernard Edwards, Nile Rodgers, Sylvia Robinson, Henry "Big Bank Hank" Jackson, Michael "Wonder Mike" Wright, Guy "Master Gee" O'Brien, Curtis "Grandmaster Caz" Brown, & William Hankshaw; "Walk This Way" by Joseph "Rev. Run" Simmons, Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, Steven Tyler, & Joe Perry

arranged by: Geoff Castellucci

performance date: 28 January 2017

My favorite bits:

Layne kicking things off with some old school beatboxing

Earl recreating the breathy part in "Push It"

Eli handling the scratching in the back during "Parents"

the middle three busting some lowkey moves as the lyrics instruct them to do

everybody bouncing to the beat during "Tricky"

Geoff continuing the "Ice Ice Baby" bass line under "The Humpty Dance" after the other guys leave him hanging

Eli showing off some slides in "Rapper's Delight"

J's little wave in response to the "hello" in the lyrics

the record skip effect at the end of "Walk This Way"

Trivia:

The guys originally recorded this countdown live in the studio, where they could do as many takes as they wanted. It's even more impressive seeing them perform it in front of an audience.

.

This video is missing the very beginning because the fan who recorded it got over-excited about them actually performing the song live. But how could they possibly resist singing the theme to one of the most beloved TV shows set in San Francisco when they were just north the city itself?

Details:

title: Everywhere You Look

original performers: Carly Rae Jepsen & Butch Walker for Fuller House (2016)

written by: Jesse Frederick, Bennett Salvay, & Jeff Franklin for Full House (1987)

arranged by: Layne Stein

performance date: 28 January 2017

My favorite bits:

the bouncy descending bass line leading into the chorus

Eli and J grooving along to their own harmonies

Earl's scooping crescendo as a transition into the second verse

the call and response of ♫ "never go away" ♫ "like the Olsen twins" ♫ 👭

that quick crisp diction of the ♫ "how do you know… " ♫ section

hearing a few audience members shout "Hey!" in time with the guys

that big coordinated descending riff at the end

Trivia:

This song was the second entry in VoicePlay's PartWork series, performed entirely by multiple versions of Earl and Layne.

.

Before they flew out of San Francisco the next day, J.None took a side trip to meet up with a friend, see a bit of the city, and get some fresh air.

SHUT UP WHY DO YOU GET TO BE OUTSIDE THE BERNARD B JACOBS THEATER AND I DONT

Hyperfixation so bad people think of me when they see it

[pynkhues]

Thinking about the IWTV actors doing theater is fun. For me, I am a nerd about Shakespeare, so for any actors I really love, especially ones who have a particular facility with language, I want to see them in Shakespeare plays. And Assad has already worked with the RSC! He did Winter's Tale and they filmed it, though it feels a bit odd because they had to film it during the pandemic without an audience. 

I've thought the most about Jacob and Sam since we've been watching them (as the same characters, vs. Rashid/Armand) since season 1 (we've been watching Eric too but he has such a specific voice, if that makes sense lol, that it's harder for me to imagine him in different roles -- but I'd be delighted to see him onstage in anything). Really ANY Shakespeare role with either Jacob or Sam would be thrilling. But two of my absolute favorite male Shakespeare roles, the ones that I maybe most want to see any actor I love do, are Macbeth and Richard II (not III, though I love III too). So if I could pick any role for them to do, it would probably be Sam as Macbeth and Jacob as Richard II. But vice versa would be amazing too (I'd REALLY love to see Sam's take on Richard II in particular, actually). Hamlet, Henry V, Benedick, Leontes, Brutus, Coriolanus, Iago (would be interesting to see either of them play a truly evil character), Richard III -- any really meaty role would be a dream. Also, I've seen Shakespeare productions with all-male or all-female casts (thinking of ones with Mark Rylance and Harriet Walter in particular), and those can work so brilliantly and give actors a chance to play opposite-gender roles without having to make the text accommodate a gender swap. So, with that in mind, I'd love to see either of them play Rosalind (I know Adrian Lester famously played Rosalind in an all-male production), Beatrice, or Lady Macbeth. If I'm dream-casting them in the same play, lol, an all-male production of Much Ado in which they play Beatrice and Benedick (could see either of them in either role, though I might gravitate toward Jacob as Benedick and Sam as Beatrice if I had to pick) would most likely kill me. 

Non-Shakespeare plays: Do you know Venus in Fur by David Ives? I saw the nyc production a decade ago with Hugh Dancy and Nina Arianda and it was one of the most astonishing things I've ever seen, and the main male role is extraordinary, just such a fascinating mix of masculine and feminine and submission and dominance. It feels like a role Sam would just utterly kill. Arcadia by Tom Stoppard is one of my absolute favorite plays, and if I could cast a production of it, I think I would cast Jacob as Valentine (he's a very funny, acerbic mathematician with hidden depths) and Sam as Bernard (though onstage, where he could easily read a little younger, I might want to cast Sam as Septimus. He would be hysterical as Bernard and both hysterical and devastating as Septimus). 

My brain keeps wanting to cast Jacob and Sam in plays together lol -- they just have such spectacular, unusual acting chemistry, even apart from their insane physical/romantic chemistry, that I just want to see it as much as possible. So I found myself daydreaming about how incredible a production of Betrayal (with Sam as Robert and Jacob as Jerry, I think) could be. 

Also, the Broadway production of Purlie Victorious introduced me to a play I hadn't heard of, and it blew me away. It's so funny and so sharp and so moving, and I think Jacob would be absolutely brilliant in the role of Purlie (and based on things he's said in interviews, it seems like a play/part he might really love). 

I could keep going, but this is already way too long lol. Basically I just really want both of them to do theater. I would LOVE to see Delainey in a Shakespeare play too -- she looks so young, so I would still love to see her as Juliet. Viola or Olivia would also be amazing, or Rosalind, or Innogen (from Cymbeline).

OH ALSO for Delainey: Nora in A Doll's House

I love this ask sooo much, and I'm sorry it's taken me so long to reply! All your picks are amazing. Funnily enough, Much Ado About Nothing and Sam and Jacob as Beatrice and Benedick was one was one of the ones I'd thought about too! That play's been a bit front of mind recently just because I watched Anyone But You recently and realised about half an hour in that it was a (pretty mid, but not charmless haha) MAAN adaptation. The other one that maybe weirdly springs to mind is actually Assad in A Midsommer Night's Dream? I feel like he's got such a playfulness when he's not playing Armand, and I'd love to see him play to that, maybe as Puck?

I totally agree about Eric's voice being so specific when it comes to thinking of roles for him, but it could be cool to see him in something like 12 Angry Men but that probably will be him playing to type quite a bit, haha. Oh! Actually, he'd be great in Death of a Salesman too.

But gosh, Jacob and Sam - - I'd love to see them together in something too. A lot of this is probably going to be Australian-focused sorry, as that's what I often end up watching here but like, I'd loooove to see them in Holding the Man with probably Jacob as Tim and Sam as John, but that could go either way (actually on that note, just because both deal with the AIDS crisis, Angels in America would be amazing as well).

It'd be awesome to see them in something like Breaker Morant too, which can be such a phenomenal play depending on the cast and director (and was turned into a pretty exceptional film in 1980), and I was actually talking to someone at work a few weeks ago about how it feeles like Ray Lawler's Summer of the Seventeenth Doll should be coming up for a revival soon, and I love the thought of Sam and Jacob in that as Barnie and Roo (either role!) It feels especially interesting as a potential adaptation because while it's a very 1950s Australian play (in fact is considered to be the play that created Australian theatre), it was really embraced by Black communities overseas in the 60s and 70s too.

Oh, anything Oscar Wilde too, haha.

Love your picks for Delainey too! Especially Juliet and Viola or Olivia. Totally cliche, but I'd really love to see her in The Crucible as well, and I got to see Meet Me at Dawn earlier in the year too, and would looove to see Delainey and Roxane in that as a two-hander.

SINOPSIS DE ALMOST FAMOUS, EL NUEVO MUSICAL

Es el año 1973 y pasan muchas cosas. Led Zeppelin es el rey, Richard Nixon es presidente y un idealista William Miller, de 15 años, es aspirante a periodista musical. Cuando la revista Rolling Stone lo contrata para salir de gira con una banda prometedora, William se ve empujado al circo del rock and roll, donde chocan su amor por la música, su anhelo de amistad y su integridad como escritor. Almost Famous es un animado relato sobre los fans, la familia y los inolvidables personajes que conocerá por el camino. ¡Sube el volumen!
