摘要:

Raw interview footage used for the documentary Broadway, the American musical. Broadway choreographer and director Susan Stroman discusses the hit Broadway musical comedy The producers. The show, which Stroman choreographed and directed, was adapted by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan from Brooks' 1968 film of the same name. As in the film, the story concerns two theatrical producers who scheme to get rich by overselling shares in a Broadway flop. Stroman speaks about the show's appeal to audiences, and why she believes people identified so greatly with its main characters Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom; the Broadway producer of today, in comparison with a few decades earlier when impressarios like David Merrick singlehandedly put on shows; producer Cameron Mackintosh, whose creative as well as financial talents resulted in artistically groundbreaking hits; the taste for epic, operatic shows during the 1980s in contrast with the current taste for musical comedy; the hit Broadway musical Cats, which was daring in its use of actors who portrayed animals, and who danced; what she perceives as the "emotional hook" of The producers; Brooks' love of Broadway shows as reflected in his films; how she got involved in the project, and her year-and-a-half long collaboration with Brooks and Meehan in writing the show; the workshop process, and finding producers; the importance of the opening number for a musical, and how she conducts research for her choreography. Discussion ends on videocassette one and resumes on videocassette two.

Stroman discusses the show's opening number and the function of the opening number; opening night on Broadway; reasons for producing a show; the importance of the story in the musical theater currently and in its choreography; the trend of turning movies into musicals; the importance of collaboration in producing a show; the differences between the movie and the musical version of The producers; the success of the show in relation to current events, including the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001; the resurgence of dance on Broadway, beginning with the 1991 show Crazy for you; the impact of Disney Company productions on Broadway; what she likes about the musical Chicago, written by John Kander and Fred Ebb, with choreography by Bob Fosse; the inspiration she finds in the work of choreographer Jerome Robbins, who was able to convey character and story via dance; the significance to Broadway of the musical West Side story; the necessity of "breaking rules" as an artist, as she did in her show Contact; the groundbreaking aspects of the 1927 musical Show boat, and her choreography of its revival in 1994; the production of musicals by corporations; revivals on Broadway, and her choreography of the revivals of Oklahoma! and The music man; the ability of the musical to affect one deeply, and to leave a lasting impression.
