Musical Monday

So the humorous thing about the 1997 awards season is that the Tony-winning Best Musical, Titanic, is the only one-word titled musical; the other three nominees are all two-worded titles. Is that humorous? Maybe just me? Well, either way, we are in 1997 and it’s Tony time! Four titles are in competition, but only one cruises into victory. This week highlights one of those sore losers. Here we go!

Musical Monday date: 2/19/2019

Musical: The Life

Book, Music, and Lyrics: David Newman and Ira Gasman and Cy Coleman, Cy Coleman, and Ira Gasman

Broadway Run: April 26, 1997 - June 7, 1998

Awards Won: Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical (Chuck Cooper), Best Featured Actress in a Musical (Lillias White)/Drama Desk Award for Outstanding New Musical, Outstanding Featured Actress in a Musical (Lillias White), Outstanding Music

Other: For the two Tony winners, this would be their first Tony nomination and only Tony win (to date).

Fun Fact: The Life had the longest run of the Best Musical losers of 1997. It’s also a rare title where Cy Coleman was also a Producer.

That’s it. That’s The Life. Until next week, feel free to give the score a listen, and if you ever get the chance to see this musical, do take advantage. Now, go see a show and support some local theatre!

Musical Monday

Hello and welcome back to 1977. Last week brought Happy End to the blog, and this week we dive into the next Best Musical loser. Now, this is a show that may obscure to some and well-known to some. Either way, it deserves its place in the Musical Monday sun, so here we go!

Musical Monday date: 10/9/2017

Musical: I Love My Wife

Book, Music, and Lyrics: Michael Stewart, Cy Coleman, and Michael Stewart

Broadway Run: April 17, 1977 - May 20, 1979

Awards Won: Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical (Lenny Baker), Best Direction of a Musical (Gene Saks)/Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actor in a Musical (Lenny Baker), Outstanding Featured Actor in a Musical (Michael Mark, Joseph Saulter, John Miller, Ken Bichel), Outstanding Music (Cy Coleman)/Theatre World Award (Joanna Gleason)

Other: The only two actors who did not receive any award for their work in I Love My Wife are Ilene Graff and James Naughton.

Fun Fact: Cy Coleman's first award win was his Drama Desk Award for I Love My Wife. He had been previously nominated for the Tony for Seesaw, Sweet Charity, and Little Me. He would go on to win his first Tony the following season for On The Twentieth Century.

So there you have it! Even if you don't love your wife, you may love this Coleman and Stewart score, which does exist in cast album legacy. And thank the Lord for this musical bringing the wonderful Joanna Gleason to the stage. Next week will be the final 1977 show, a musical that honors another one of Broadway's most loved composers. Now go see a show!

在兩個世界交替的時間，陰雨的窗外是低沈的雷聲，這些熱的發光的玻璃管是冰冷科技與生活的溫暖融合。黑色PVC盤子上轉出#CyColeman 活潑的作品，#CarmenCavallaro 的琴聲，窗外的雨突然更大了... 等一下去#瑞興書局 要多帶把傘了... Little #candles of technology from another time, it warms hearts and drives electrons, but most importantly, it plays the perfect tune for my #morning ☺️ #Amplifier #VecuumTube #Glowing #GoodMorning #VinylRecords #OldStateOfMind #RainingDay

#FBF #THELIFE was the last #CyColeman musical to appear on Broadway. Was sooo proud to be part of a cast that really knew how to get "turn up". I was swinging somewhere around 6-8 roles 😳Chile'...I was NEVER bored! @the_kim_hawthorne #lilliaswhite #lynnsterling #feliciafinley #davidnewman #iragasman #joeymckneely and pouring some wine for the bonus no longer with us Mark Anthony, James Stovall & Marty Richards
