OUR HISTORIC THEATER A beautiful and unique Seattle landmark, The 5th Avenue Theatre’s breathtaking design was inspired by ancient Imperial China’s most stunning architectural achievements, including the magnificent Forbidden City. Built in 1926 for vaudeville and silent pictures, The 5th Avenue Theatre reigned for decades as Seattle’s favorite movie palace. In 1979, 43 companies and community leaders formed the non-profit 5th Avenue Theatre Association. Their goal was to restore the theater to its original splendor. The 5th Avenue Theatre re-opened in 1980 as Seattle’s premier home for musical theater. The 5th Avenue Theatre gratefully acknowledges our 43 original founders and sponsors. Please visit www.5thavenue.org for specific information on these important companies and individuals. from the desk of Musical David Armstrong Comedy High! Executive Producer and Artistic Director N o, I’m not referring to some performing arts high school where “Belting It Out to the Back Row” and “Laying Them in the Aisles” are core parts of the curriculum. The musical comedy high I’m talking about is that intoxicating feeling that comes over you while watching and listening to a crackerjack musical comedy like Anything Goes. This feeling often begins with the first brassy notes of the overture, and in the most potent examples, it will still have you walking on air hours, days, even weeks after the curtain has come down. Shows such as this are true mood-altering experiences. This vintage Cole Porter musical comes from what I call the “Silver Age of the Broadway Musical”— that period in the 1920s and ‘30s when the best popular songs came from Broadway musical comedies, and girls, gags, taphappy dance numbers, and hit tunes were the crucial ingredients for a rousing success. Hundreds of musical comedies were produced during those decades, but only a handful of them are still performed today, with Anything Goes being, by far, the prime example. This is no doubt because its authors created a story and characters that have continued to captivate audiences through changing times and decades. Maybe the reason the characters are more vivid than usual in the era of get-to-the-next-song librettos is that they were based on real-life models. Anything Goes debuted in 1934. Prohibition had ended the previous year, and J. Edgar Hoover had just begun his manhunt for the revolving list of gangsters he dubbed “Public Enemy No. 1” — ruthless thugs like John Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd, and Baby Face Nelson. Anything Goes features “Public Enemy No. 13” — the hapless Moon Face Martin. And the vibrant character of Reno Sweeney is a combination of two 1930s headlinegrabbers, the former speakeasy hostess Texas Guinan (who greeted her guests with a hearty “Hello, suckers!”) and the controversial saint-or-sinner evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson. (You may have met her in our new musical premiere Saving Aimee or when that show subsequently moved to Broadway under the title of Scandalous.) One of the challenges in writing lighthearted musical comedy is finding an effective way to bring a diverse group of people together without spending a lot of time on tedious back story. We want the mix-ups, not the setups! The writers of Anything Goes came up with a perfect premise — put everyone aboard a trans-Atlantic ocean liner, a luxury setting where they have nothing to do but get into farcical scrapes and all go a little cuckoo. And, of course, perform some of the greatest songs ever written by the master of sophistication, Cole Porter. Anything Goes has never lost its luster. It’s the most frequently revived show of the 1930s and one of the most adaptable. The original production was a mammoth affair: big sets, big orchestra, big cast (maybe, in truth, too big for its fast and funny story). A pocket-sized offBroadway mounting in 1962 proved that what mattered were the songs, the jokes, and the performers. A quarter of a century later, another revision was commissioned by Lincoln Center Theater, bringing the cast and band up to an ideal size: large but not lumbering. That version provided the basis for the dazzling Roundabout Theatre Company’s 2011 Tony Awardwinning Broadway revival that we are now thrilled to bring to our 5th Avenue stage. The band is warming up, the champagne is chilled, the ship is about to set sail. Bon voyage!

Most popular songs last a few weeks or a season. A lucky few live longer, then die with the generation who first danced and made love to them. Yet, defying the odds, some 30 or 40 of Porter’s creations are still alive in popular culture, and dozens more are treasured by aficionados. We encounter them in the movies, in jazz clubs, and while waiting in line at Starbucks. They are part of the permanent soundtrack of our lives. Just recently, we’ve heard “Too Darn Hot” on So You Think You Can Dance?,“Begin the Beguine” in Behind the Candelabra, “Let’s Misbehave” in The Great Gatsby,“Always True to You in My Fashion” on Glee,“Another Op’nin’, Another Show” on Smash,“You Do Something to Me” in Midnight in Paris, “Night and Day” in The Fantastic Mr. Fox, and “I Love Paris” on House. Going back a bit, who can forget the AfricanAmerican work gang in Mel Brooks’ wickedly funny film Blazing Saddles? Pressured by their racist white overseer to sing one of their “typical” songs, the men on the chain gang respond with a sarcastic close-harmony rendition of “I Get a Kick Out of You.” Porter tribute vocal and jazz albums continue to be best sellers. And Porter’s two classic shows, Anything Goes and Kiss Me, Kate, are very much alive, enchanting theatergoers young and old in hundreds of productions every year. 12 5 T H A V E N U E M U S I C A L T H E A T R E C O M P A N Y Why are Porter’s songs timeless? Maybe it’s because they picture an exquisite alternate world -- a panorama of luxury and heartbreak, neatly summed up in one of his titles: “Down in the Depths on the Ninetieth Floor.” Cole’s world is rich in novelistic detail: Bendel bonnets, educated fleas, the pants on a Roxy usher, the Kinsey Report, a trip to the moon on gossamer wings, the kling-kling bird on the dividivi tree, Mister Fritz (who’s full of Schlitz), Professor Munch (who ate his wife and divorced his lunch). At a time when most songwriters delivered the mundane and the easily understood, Porter created an enticing fantasy verging on alt-fiction. It’s recognizably our Earth, and yet not quite. Porter blends high and low elements with the abandon of a mad scientist mixing chemicals just to see what happens. “You’re a Nathan panning; you’re Bishop Manning; you’re broccoli!” Even if we’ve forgotten the acerbic drama critic George Jean Nathan or the lofty Episcopal Bishop William Manning, we get the point and the formula still makes us laugh. Porter’s songs were written for a wide range of characters: society wives on the prowl, comic gangsters, super-rich “debu-tramps,” narcissistic actors, brash night club singers, and clueless cocktail-party chatterers (“Have you heard? It’s in the stars. Next July we collide with Mars!”“Well, did you evah! What a swell party this is!”) Unlike the dramatically integrated song-scenes of Rodgers & Hammerstein and their followers, nearly all of Porter’s songs are written in the voice of Mr. Porter himself — amused, cynical, gay (in all senses of the word), and often devastatingly sad. Love, according to Cole, is carnal and invasive (“under my skin,”“under the hide of me”), nocturnal, a dream doomed to fade “like the moon growing dim on the rim of the hill, in the chill still of the night.” It still is. Porter returned again and again to Subject Number One. His frank treatment of sex can still startle us:“Love for sale — appetizing young love for sale.”“If Mae West you like, or me undressed you like, nobody will oppose.”“Moths in your rugs do it — what’s the use of moth balls?”“The world admits bears in pits do it, even Pekingeses in the Ritz do it.” Let’s misbehave! Let’s step out! Let’s not talk about love! Let’s do it! Porter liked to foster the illusion that he was a carefree bon vivant who plucked his songs out of the air. In truth, he was a tireless craftsman with a strong work ethic. And carefree? In mid-career a riding accident crushed both his legs, leaving him crippled and in constant pain for the rest of his life. Toward the end of Porter’s life, when he was a virtual recluse, his secretary would play recordings of his songs to cheer him up. After the music stopped he would shake his head and say,“How did I ever do it?” Porter was a musical modernist who created his signature sound by blending Latin dance rhythms with a heady infusion of Jewish cantillation, over a solid foundation of big-band swing. His melodies often begin in brooding minor keys and twist their way to major resolutions (“Just One of Those Things,”“So In Love,”“I Love Paris”). He dared to expand the rigid structure of the 32-bar pop song, giving his tunes ample time to evoke the erotic journey of a “night of tropical splendor” (“Begin the Beguine”). We don’t know, Mr. Porter, but we’re glad you did. Your songs are still delightful, delicious, de-lovely. You are, now and forever, the top! Albert Evans, Artistic Associate In the words of critic Walter Clemons: “A Porter song is a luxury item, expensively made and extravagantly rhymed. In a way no other songs of the period quite did, Porter created a world. It was a between-the-wars realm of drop dead chic and careless name-dropping insouciance. And it was a sexy place to be invited.” encore artsprograms.com 13 WHO’S WHO RACHEL YORK (Reno Sweeney) is best known for her critically acclaimed Broadway performances in City of Angels, Les Misérables, Victor/Victoria, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Sly Fox, and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

In the late 1920s he gained renown for many great songs, among them “Night and Day,” “You’re the Top,” “Begin the Beguine” and “I Get a Kick Out of You.” His 1930s were highlighted by such Broadway offerings as Anything Goes, Gay Divorce, and Jubilee. A crippling accident in 1937 left him in constant pain yet he continued to write memorable scores, among them Kiss Me Kate, Can Can and Silk Stockings. He died in 1964. GUY BOLTON (1884-1979) and P.G. WODEHOUSE (1881-1975), were both born in England. Together, with Jerome Kern, they wrote the famed Princess Theatre musicals. Usually, they collaborated on the book, and Wodehouse wrote the lyrics. Bolton, with one collaborator or another, or on his own, had a hand in well over 100 musicals and straight plays as well as numerous film scripts and novels. Wodehouse wrote 97 books, most notably the “Jeeves” novels, and countless short stories, articles, essays and films.

HOWARD LINDSAY and RUSSEL CROUSE (Co-Authors of the Original Book) The Lindsay and Crouse partnership stands as the longest of any writers in theatrical history. It began in 1934 when they rewrote the libretto for Anything Goes. Their Life With Father (1939) holds the record for the longest-running play on Broadway. They also wrote The Sound of Music (with Rodgers and Hammerstein), State of the Union (Pulitzer Prize), Call Me Madam (with Irving Berlin), and The Great Sebastians, as well as produced Arsenic and Old Lace. Prior to their teaming up, Howard Lindsay (1889-1968) was an actor, stage manager, director, and playwright. Russel Crouse (1893-1966) was a newspaperman, press agent, author, and librettist. TIMOTHY CROUSE (Co-author of the New Book) has been a contributing editor of Rolling Stone and the Village Voice, as well as the Washington columnist for Esquire. He is also an O. Henry Prize-winning short story writer. He is the author of The Boys on the Bus, a classic account of the role of the press in presidential campaigns and the son of Russel Crouse, one of the original authors of Anything Goes. JOHN WEIDMAN (New Book) has written the books for a wide variety of musicals, among them Pacific Overtures, Assassins, and Road Show, all with scores by Stephen Sondheim, and Contact, cocreated with director/choreographer Susan Stroman.

Started in 1994, AMT is The 5th Avenue’s longest running education outreach program. Founding Managing Director Marilynn Sheldon championed the program with a vision of bringing original musicals to young students. She says, “I knew musical theater would capture their interest and they would love stories told through song and dance. I also knew that AMT could be an important addition to their educational development and do so in an entertaining way. I never tired of watching kids watch the performance with mesmerized interest.” The first AMT show to visit schools was Mrs. Mortimer’s Gift. It was performed 18 times for 4,500 students in Seattle. Today AMT performs at more than100 schools throughout the Pacific Northwest each year, reaching roughly 45,000 students. In addition to presenting high quality, educational musicals, Adventure Musical Theater has another goal aligned with the mission of The 5th Avenue Theatre: to nurture local Northwest talent. Some of Seattle’s most recognized performers got their start by working on AMT shows and many have gone on to perform with Seattle’s leading theaters and on Broadway. “Doing an AMT performance repeatedly, day after day, teaches actors how to tell a story and make it fresh every time,” says Producing Director Bill Berry. He adds, “There is no audience more honest or discerning than a roomful of 300 second and third graders.” Seattle actors who performed with AMT before they became known for their professional work include Jared Michael Brown, Taryn Darr, Kirsten deLohr Helland, Diana Huey, Naomi Morgan, Kat Ramsburg, and Dane Stokinger. Many have had notable careers in New York and on Broadway, including Eric Ankrim, David Austin, Mo Brady, Louis Hobson, Brandon Ivie, Chad Jennings, Jason Kappus, Heath Saunders, L. Steven Taylor, and Billie Wildrick. Here are some of their AMT memories. Anya Rudnick - Director of Education 20 5 T H A V E N U E M U S I C A L T H E A T R E C O M P A N Y AMT: Rosie the Riveter; The 5th Avenue: Oklahoma, RENT, The Pirates of Penzance, ELF - The Musical, and Titanic; Village: Trails, Village Originals; Balagan: Spring Awakening, Avenue Q AMT was my first professional job. I learned how important it is to give 110% every show because each time you perform it, 100-600 kids are seeing it for the first time. Bringing theater to our schools and to kids who have never or may never see a piece of live theatre is so important, heart-warming and humbling. Knowing that we can make a child smile or laugh or ask questions is so humbling. It’s the greatest job. Billie Wildrick AMT: Northwest Bookshelf; The 5th Avenue: 23 productions including Hair, Wonderful Town, Into the Woods, On the Town, Guys and Dolls, Saving Aimee, and the upcoming Oliver!; Village: Hello Dolly, The Sound of Music, Village Originals; ACT: Vanities, Das Barbecu, Broadway: Scandalous AMT helped me become a more collaborative, ensemble-minded actor who brings ideas to the table. [Everyone I worked with on AMT] became my dear friends and collaborators. It was an amazing gateway into the fantastically multitalented Seattle theater community. L. Steven Taylor AMT: Northwest Bookshelf, Journey West; The 5th Avenue: Miss Saigon, Rocky Horror Show; Broadway: Disney’s The Lion King, Cutman, Ataria; Television: The Electric Company; Film: Expiration Date, Game Over The roles that I played for AMT were very diverse and “across the board.” We were encouraged to treat them seriously – approaching them as we would any other role. The development process for so many character types and in such a short amount of time helps me to prepare for the rigors of auditioning in NYC and LA to this day! Jason Kappus Brandon Ivie AMT: Best of Northwest Bookshelf (Director), Rosie the Riveter (Director); The 5th Avenue: Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella (Director); Broadway: Next to Normal (Assistant to the Writers), First Date (Assistant Director), A Christmas Story The Musical (Assistant Director) As a director, I learned how to economize. It taught me that something creative that challenges your mind can be ten times more effective and exciting than something literal. When I watched the first performance of an AMT show I directed and saw an entire room of kids witnessing theater for the first time, laughing and gasping and applauding and yelling things at the actors (“No! Don’t go in there!”), all of a sudden I understood why people spend their lives teaching students through theater. I don’t know any other time when kids are as engaged in what they’re learning as when they’re watching AMT. You don’t see kids laughing and screaming at a video about long division. Eric Ankrim AMT: Klondike, Mercer Girls; The 5th Avenue: West Side Story, Catch Me If You Can; Seattle Children’s Theatre: High School Musical, The Wizard of Oz; Village: Stunt Girl, Once Upon a Time in New Jersey, Aida; Broadway: American Idiot; National Tour: Legally Blonde, Jersey Boys I think the biggest things I learned from AMT were adaptability and consistency. When your stage set-up changes every show, when you’re performing at all different hours of the day, when your audience reactions and interactions constantly vary, the phrase “the show must go on” quickly takes on deeper meaning. And doing the same show 2-3 times a day for a few months will test and expand your ability as an actor to present the same material in a fresh and engaging way over and over. These things certainly helped prepare me for the last 700 performances of Jersey Boys.

I happily look back on that time of discovery, the friendships I made, and feel grateful for the work we did inspiring all those young people with the increasingly rare gift of live performance. I am so proud to be a part of this amazing program and the legacy it has created. AMT was my first time doing any professional theater, and the quality of work I found myself surrounded by immediately forced me to improve on a daily basis. The work is fast-paced, passionate, and energetic. One time I came down with a horrific ear infection while on tour with AMT. And wouldn’t you know it, but we visited my middle school that VERY day, and I performed with little to no hearing whatsoever. While on stage during songs, my fellow actors bobbed their heads to the rhythms so I could stay in tempo with each song. Trouble is, even though I stayed in tempo, I didn’t necessarily stay in tune. After a solo, I came backstage, and the entire cast was on the floor with laughter. I was so out of tune it was painful. So much for impressing my old middle school!

A Letter From Our Production Partner ROUNDABOUT THEATRE COMPANY Dear Theatregoer, For over 45 years, Roundabout Theatre Company has provided New York audiences with season after season of thrilling, award-winning productions – live theatre at its best. From rarely-seen classic plays like Harvey starring Jim Parsons to timeless musicals like Anything Goes, and even to new work like Pulitzer Prize finalist Sons of the Prophet, Roundabout is committed to bringing high-quality productions with today’s finest artists to each of our five stages. As a not-for-profit theatre, we are also dedicated to making these enduring stories accessible to the largest possible audience, through extensive education and audience development programs. Roundabout has been producing musicals on Broadway for 20 years, including our long-running production of Cabaret, and The Pajama Game. While you may have seen our touring production of Twelve Angry Men many years ago, this tour marks the first time that one of our musical productions will be seen outside of New York. I am incredibly proud of director/choreographer Kathleen Marshall’s stunning work on the Tony Award®-winning Anything Goes, and it’s truly a joy to be able to share it with the whole country. Anything Goes is the kind of classic musical that offers pure delight. It has some of Cole Porter’s greatest songs (which I promise you’ll leave the theatre humming) and the most exciting dance numbers any fan of musical theatre could ask for. It’s comedy, romance, and adventure on the high seas all wrapped into one blissful package. This kind of musical deserves to be seen anew and we’re happy to be able to bring you what I hope is only your first of many great Roundabout musical productions. Thank you for welcoming us to Seattle, and please visit us next time you are in New York City, or online at www.roundabouttheatre.org. We are thrilled to continue growing our Roundabout family. Enjoy the show! Sincerely, Todd Haimes Artistic Director BOARD OF DIRECTORS Thomas E. Tuft, Chairman Mary C. Solomon, Vice Chairman Todd Haimes, President Samuel R.

He recently made his Broadway debut as the director of the hit musical First Date at the Longacre Theatre. Berry’s directing work has been seen at theaters across the country, most recently at New Jersey’s Paper Mill Playhouse where he directed a critically acclaimed production of On the Town. Directing highlights include Cabaret performed at The 5th Avenue Theatre, St. Paul’s Ordway Center (Ivey Award), San Jose’s American Musical Theatre, and Houston’s Theatre Under the Stars, as well as the smash hits First Date and RENT at The 5th.

These programs combined now serve 60,000 students annually. He also initiated the Show Talk series, which seeks to deepen the theater-going experience.
