[Interview with Cameron Mackintosh : raw footage]

Author:	Cameron Mackintosh; Michael Kantor; Mead Hunt
Publisher:	New York , 2003.
Edition/Format:	VHS video : VHS tape  Visual material : English
Summary:	Raw interview footage used for the documentary Broadway, the American musical. Producer Cameron Mackintosh discusses what it takes to produce a successful musical; the differences between New York and London's theater districts; how he feels as the producer of the top three longest running shows on Broadway: Cats, Les miserables and Phantom of the opera, whose universal themes appeal to a wide public; how Broadway shows, beginning with Chicago in 1976, were changed by the "triple threat performer" who can sing, dance as well as act. Mackintosh goes on to discuss the 1982 Broadway opening of his show Cats, which ran for almost 18 years. Mackintosh speaks about how his successful shows have translated into worldwide hits, and how they inspired new approaches to the business of sending Broadway productions on the road. Mackintosh speaks about the Broadway musical's influences domestically and trans-Atlantically; how quintessentially American shows like Hello, Dolly fare abroad; the influence of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein on the development of the American musical; and his collaboration with composer Andrew Lloyd Weber on the stage musical version of The phantom of the opera. Mackintosh also discuss his pioneering of a new kind of promotion of his shows, which relied on the innovative designs produced by graphic artist Russ Egeland. He speaks in detail about the design process for the posters for such shows as Cats, Les miserables and Miss Saigon, and examines the merchandizing of products related to his productions. He goes on to speak about what he perceives his legacy will be as producer, and his view that it is the writer's work which is remembered. Mackintosh speaks about the songwriting talents of Andrew Lloyd Weber, his association with French composers Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil, with whom he collaborated on Les miserables; the opening of Cats in London, and its initial critical reception; and the recent closings of several of his long-running shows on Broadway. Interview concludes on tape one with audio-only discusssion for one minute on the poster design for Miss Saigon. Discussion resumes on tape two with the current productions of revivals on Broadway, and Mackintosh's view that most of the great, classic musicals on Broadway are based on existing sources in novels, plays or films; what he perceives as the defining characteristics of the musical; the effect of the long-running musical on the musical form; the influence of his shows on young audiences and future performers; his decision to produce the musical Mary Poppins with Disney Theatrical Productions, based on the stories of P. L. Travers and the Walt Disney Productions film; Broadway's continuous need to reinvent itself in order to assure its future, and the need for all those involved in a Broadway production to work cooperatively to "find ways to put on the best shows for the least money so that everybody benefits"; the cost of originating a show in London in comparison with Broadway; the effect on the theater district of the changes to Times Square in recent decades; amplification in the theater; how a new production's viability can be tested; his role as a producer who works closely with his performers and creative team on all aspects of a production.  Read more...
