[Interview with Stephen Mo Hanan : raw footage]

Author:	Stephen Mo Hanan; 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. Actor, singer and author Stephen Mo Hanan who originated the role of Bustopher Jones in the 1982 production Cats and wrote and starred in the off-Broadway production Jolson & Company, discusses the American musical. Hanan begins with Al Jolson, the most popular star of the musical theater and the first to develop a "cult of the personality." Jolson appropriated material from African American culture, including tap dance, and jazz and ragtime music as his career flourished. He performed in blackface makeup but in Hanan's opinion his performances were not demeaning or degrading. Rather, Hanan believes, they contained soul and depth which revealed his own feelings of being an outsider. Jolson's performances, described as electrifying, included his key elements of exuberant gestures, operatic-style singing, whistling, and direct address to the audience. Jolson's performances made a strong impact on audiences. Hanan goes on to discuss Jolson's career as a recording artist who made the George Gershwin song Swanee a blockbuster hit, and as a film actor who starred in the first successful talking picture the Jazz singer. The movie revolutionized the film industry as it created a market for Broadway musicals nationwide. The last few minutes of the tape feature silent depiction of a Broadway street and its theater marquees. Interview resumes on tape two with discussion on how the musical has changed since the 1980s when the British, particularly Andrew Lloyd Weber and Tim Rice, started writing and producing shows like Evita, Cats and Phantom of the opera on Broadway. These shows, became hugely popular during the 1980s and '90s, combine technology driven spectacle with operatic, rock music, and de-emphasize stars and spoken dialogue. Producer Cameron Mackintosh achieved success marketing his productions, beginning with Cats, as global franchises with a trademark style and logo designed to be recognizable by audiences worldwide. The large-scale success of these shows, Hanan believes, affects the kinds of shows that can be produced on Broadway. Hanan discusses his experience performing in the original cast of Cats. The show ran for 18 years. Hanan discusses his rehearsals with director Trevor Nunn in which he came to figure out how to play a cat. Interview concludes with Hanan's views on a variety of topics related to Broadway, including his desire to see more shows that follow the lyrical tradition of sonwriters like Frank Loesser and Cole Porter.  Read more...
