Do you remember what you were doing

25 years ago? A quarter century is a long

time. It’s about a third of the whole human

life span. In Alaska, 25 years has some heft

to it. Considering we are about to celebrate

the centennial of our community in a couple

of years, the fact that we’re celebrating the

25th birthday of the Alaska Center for the

Performing Arts (PAC) is something to crow about.

The Anchorage Concert Association has been closely tied to the

PAC since the day it opened. Our fi rst performance was Rudolf

Nureyev and the Stars of the Paris Opera Ballet on January 4,

1989. That year we had 14 events. Later that same year we

added the Nutcracker to our season. Since then, we have grown

and grown. This season we are busting at the seams with 31

events!

How has ACA managed to grow and become such an important

part of the performing arts in our community? It is due in large

part to having such a wonderful facility in which to play. Without

the PAC, Anchorage wouldn’t have access to shows like Lion

King, Mamma Mia! or Blue Man Group. The PAC’s mere

existence has elevated our community and the quality of arts we

get to experience.

WINTER PROGRAM

PASSION In celebration of this wonderful building, we packed as many great

names as we could fi nd. Huey Lewis, Martin Short, Wayne Brady,

Garrison Keillor, Bela Fleck, West Side Story, David Sedaris, and

Chick Corea. This is an incredible list of performing artists. We are

proud they are part of this very celebratory year.

We are lucky to have this facility, and we want to fi ll it as much as

we can. Our goal is to keep the stages alive and exciting so that in

another 25 years, audiences will still be thrilled and excited that the

PAC is part of our community.

BIOGRAPHY2013 marks the 30th anniversary of one the most infl uential and celebrated albums in pop / rock history. Peaking at #1 on the Billboard Charts, selling over 10 million copies worldwide, a Grammy Award, and a Diamond Award in Canada, “Sports” is the anthem of a generation.

Over half of the albums songs (“The Heart of Rock & Roll”, “Heart & Soul”, “I Want a New Drug”, “Walking on a Thin Line”, “If This Is It”) were huge hit singles. They have memorable hooks, and an economical precision.

“Sports” has struck a chord with audiences of all ages and persuasions. So many people have special memories associated with this unique collection of songs.

Huey Lewis and the News are releasing a special digitally remastered 30th Anniversary edition of the album, with live bonus tracks.

In 2013 Huey Lewis and the News are commemorating the milestone with their “Sports” 30th Anniversary World Tour. Fans will hear the band perform the songs from “Sports”, plus many other hits and surprises.

“Masterful practitioners of an eclectic pop-rock that blends the rich harmonies of California rock and the metronomically plucked beat of new wave, with strong rhythm and blues infl uences, into an ingratiating brew.” - New York Times

HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS

MEMORIES FROM THE STAFF AT ANCHORAGE CONCERT ASSOCIATION

My fi rst experience was being led around on a tour as part of my interview process to get the job as the

Anchorage Concert Association’s Executive Director. What I remember were lots of keys and doors and no windows

to the outside world. As we walked the hallways backstage, I had no idea which way I was going. Also, I remember

how quiet it was back there. In some ways, it felt like a horror movie with the intrepid heroes walking long hallways in

dim light.

One doorway led to a hallway which led to another and then to a fl ight of stairs which led to another hallway

and then we were in the Discovery Theatre. We took another door and a series of different hallways and eventually

we were in the Atwood Concert Hall. This experience stands out to me because I knew if I got this job, it would be

completely different than my experience in Fairbanks. The PAC was a big building with big stages and big audiences

to fi ll. This was a serious performing arts facility that demands respect.

Each time I walk out on stage to give a curtain speech, I’m reminded how lucky I am to get to do the work I do

and how much more fun the PAC is when it is fi lled with thousands of people.

— JASON HODGES, ANCHORAGE CONCERT ASSOCIATION EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

The impact the PAC has had on my life is greater than I can sometimes comprehend. I was born and raised in

Anchorage and though I’m a few years older, the ACPA building and I really grew up at the same time. I can easily

recall many memories that make me smile.

My fi rst Broadway show was the ACPA’s fi rst Broadway show (I saw Cats when I was 7 years old. I still

remember the hideous red sweater my mom let me pick out to wear.) I can vividly recall sitting in the balcony

watching my fi rst school performance (Princess and the Pea), looking up and down and around inside the Atwood

Concert Hall, just amazed at the colors and height of this new building. The fi rst date I went on (we saw Gladys Knight

and the Pips) I worried that my singing along was bothering those around me; until I saw everyone else singing along

too. I sat next to my wife during the fi rst event I watched as an employee of the Anchorage Concert Association

(Moscow Chamber Orchestra and Olga Kern). As the conductor raised his baton, she looked at me and smiled, as if

to say “Look what we get to be a part of!”

Now as someone raising a family in this community, I like being able to say, “I don’t remember what living in

Anchorage was like before the ACPA.” I shudder at the thought of what life would have been like without it.

BIOGRAPHYJazz pianist/composer Billy Childs remains one of the most diversely prolifi c and acclaimed artists working in music today. Childs’ canon of original compositions and arrangements has garnered him a Guggenheim Fellowship, ten Grammy nominations, and three Grammy awards, including Best Instrumental Composition for ‘The Path Among the Trees’ (2011) and ‘Into The Light’ (2005), from his much-heralded jazz/chamber releases, ‘Autumn: In Moving Pictures’ and ‘Lyric’. Downbeat magazine states, ‘...Childs’ jazz/chamber group has taken the jazz-meets-classical format to a new summit.’

Born in Los Angeles in 1957, Childs was already profi cient at the piano by age 6; he was accepted in USC’s Community School For The Performing Arts at age 16, studying music theory and piano with some of the world’s most renowned musical scholars. He graduated from USC in 1979 with a degree in composition. Among Childs’ early infl uences: Herbie Hancock, Keith Emerson, Chick Corea and others. He credits classical composers such as Paul Hindemith, Maurice Ravel, and Igor Stravinsky for also infl uencing his love of composition. Child’s performing career was also enriched with early-career apprenticeships with legendary jazz trombonist J.J. Johnson, and trumpet great Freddie Hubbard, in the late 1970s/early 1980s.

Childs released his fi rst solo album, ‘Take For Example, This...’ in 1988, on Windham Hill Jazz Records. It was the fi rst of four raved-about albums on the imprint, culminating with the acclaimed ‘Portrait Of A Player,’ in 1993. In 1995 Childs’ released ‘I’ve Known Rivers’ on Stretch/GRP Records. In 1996 he released ‘The Child Within’ on Shanachie Records. Songs from both recordings garnered his fi rst Grammy nominations.Childs’ multiple musical interests also include collaborations, arrangements, and productions for other acclaimed artists, including Yo Yo Ma, The Kronos Quartet, Wynton Marsalis, Sting, Chris Botti, and Leonard Slatkin, among others. Childs has received orchestral commissions from The Los Angeles Philharmonic, The Los Angeles Master Chorale, The Detroit Symphony Orchestra, and The Lincoln Jazz Center Orchestra (where he presented ‘The Fierce Urgency Of Now,’ a musical accompaniment to various texts by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., performed by Childs and Wynton Marsalis, as part of the inaugural concert series for the launch of the new Jazz At Lincoln Center venue).

Most recently, Childs is working on various commissions and projects, including upcoming collaborations with the Kronos Quartet, a concert piece for the jazz/chamber ensemble to be performed at Duke University, and an upcoming recording for Sony, re-imagining the music of Laura Nyro.

THE NUTCRACKER BALLETFEATURING CINCINATTI BALLET

THE NUTCRACKER BALLET

THE NUTCRACKER STORYLINEACT I, SCENE 1 BLANCHE’S KITCHENOur story begins on Christmas Eve. There is a fl urry of activity as the maids, butlers and chef prepare for a party where friends and family of the Stahlbaums will gather to open presents and celebrate the holiday. The Stahlbaum’s son, Fritz, and their daughter, Clara, try their best to be helpful, but that is not without its complications.

ACT I, SCENE 2 THE PARTYThe Stahlbaum living room is bright and festive with the most beautiful Christmas tree imaginable. All the guests and children are having a marvelous time dancing, laughing and opening gifts when suddenly, Herr Drosselmeyer bursts into the room. He is an older, mysterious doll maker, who can surprise all with unexpected acts of magic. With the swipe of his cloak, dresses change colors and dancing dolls appear. One doll is so beautiful that Clara bravely asks if she could have it for Christmas, but Mother Stahlbaum is clear that this is not possible. Clara is sad until Drosselmeyer places the most colorful and adorable Nutcracker in her hands. She joyfully dances around the room showing off her splendid gift. Fritz wishes that Drosselmeyer had given him the Nutcracker and in his frustration, grabs it from Clara, and breaks it. Immediately, the precocious Fritz is scolded by his father and sent off to bed. Herr Drosselmeyer, watching from across the room, comes to the rescue and mends the Nutcracker. The festivities continue well into the night, highlighted with a stately dance initiated by Clara’s grandparents. As the evening comes to an end, and the guests depart, Drosselmeyer is the last to bid the family farewell. Just before heading up to bed, Herr Stahlbaum brings out one last gift. He fastens a beautiful and elegant necklace around his wife’s neck and there is one last embrace before the parlor grows quiet and dark.

ACT I, SCENE 3 THE BATTLEClara, candle in hand, sneaks downstairs to check on her beloved Nutcracker. She fi nds herself in the drawing room and is startled by the sound of scampering feet and the fl ickering of tiny eyes. Clara hears the chimes of the big grandfather clock striking midnight as a band of mischievous mice try to steal away her precious Nutcracker. Drosselmeyer appears out of the darkness and, with the wave of his arms, the tree, parlor furniture and toys begin to grow. A terrible battle ensues between the mice and the toy soldiers. The Mouse King appears, frightening everyone. The Nutcracker, having escaped the clutches of the mice, has grown to life-size and challenges the Mouse King to a duel. It is a fi erce fi ght, but the Mouse King is distracted by Clara’s imaginary friend Minnie, the poodle, allowing the Nutcracker to wound his foe. As the mice scamper away and the parlor once again grows quiet, Clara watches her Nutcracker magically transform into a handsome prince. He takes her hand and in a fl urry of transformation they fi nd themselves in a magical snow forest. There, they meet the noble Snow Queen & King who dance with a storm of snowfl akes. As the storm subsides, a beautiful, magical, horse-drawn carriage arrives to take Clara and her Nutcracker Prince to the Land of Sweets.

INTERMISSION

ACT II, THE LAND OF SWEETS As the curtain opens on Act II, we see a delightful assortment of fi ligree-frosted cakes. It is the Sugar Plum Fairy’s Kingdom, a place so sweet it attracts people from all over the world. All of the characters from the Land of Sweets are frolicking and playing together when suddenly their Queen, the Sugar Plum Fairy, arrives. All bow to honor her and her cupcake and gingerbread boy attendants. The Sugar Plum Fairy graces them with a special dance when suddenly the magical carriage appears carrying Clara and the Nutcracker Prince. The Sugar Plum Fairy welcomes them and they are treated to the kingdom’s most sumptuous delights.

Clara is reunited with Minnie, her poodle, and together they recount the fi erce battle between the Nutcracker and the Mouse King. The entire kingdom cheers as the Nutcracker reenacts his victory. Each character honors them with a special dance. As the celebration continues, the Land of Sweets transforms into a beautiful garden full of fl owers with fl owing petals and one brilliant pink rose. Finally, the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cotton Candy Cavalier do a grand dance as a special treat for Clara. All the characters join together for a rousing fi nale. As their dancing concludes, the magical carriage appears to take Clara and her Prince through the mountains, further and further away from the Land of Sweets. Suddenly, Clara opens her eyes and she fi nds herself at home in the parlor room with her imaginary friend by her side and her beloved Nutcracker watching over her, always.

PRINCIPAL DANCERSCERVILIO MIGUEL AMADOR

Camaguey, CubaJoined in 2004“I didn’t want to be a dancer,” says Amador, now in his eighth year as Principal Dancer at Cincinnati Ballet. Initially athletic and interested in playing the saxophone, Amador’s parents gently nudged him towards ballet at the age of nine, and he’s

been hooked ever since.“It’s one of those things that is so hard, and you wake up in the morning and your body basically doesn’t want to move because it’s so tired and it’s so sore and in so much pain, but you go and do it, and after you do it, the next day you just love it again. I love it. It’s like an addiction. It’s a really hard career, but it becomes this passion, this addiction. You just need it.”

SARAH HAIRSTONCharleston, South Carolina Joined in 2001After seeing a Broadway production of Cats as a child, watching the actors prowl around on stage, Hairston was hooked on the limelight. “Unfortunately I cannot sing, so classical ballet seemed to be a better route to take!” she says.

Dancing since nearly three years old, Hairston trained at Calvert Brodie School of Dance under Ann Brodie, North Carolina School of



the Arts and Boston Ballet, where she then danced professionally before joining Cincinnati Ballet. Hairston faced her share of adversity since joining Cincinnati Ballet in 2001, overcoming two grueling ACL injuries in three years. “It was a struggle to come back both times, and I felt at times that people would not trust my dancing and believe in me again,” she says. “However, then I realized that if I believed in myself, that was all that mattered.” Hairston also credits her students at Cincinnati Ballet’s Otto M. Budig Academy with immense emotional support and inspiration. “It makes this amazing career I have even more worth it....to be a role model for a child is the best feeling.”

JANESSA TOUCHET New Orleans, Louisiana Joined in 2001Touchet will never forget her 19th birthday. That was the day Victoria Morgan came to Pacifi c Northwest Ballet, to audition Touchet’s professional division. “Directors from everywhere auditioned us, but nobody ever picked me,” she

says. “I remember thinking she wouldn’t like me anyway, so I told myself to just have fun, and after it was over, she said, ‘I’d like to talk to Janessa’.” Crossed wires with communicating Touchet’s acceptance of Morgan’s apprenticeship offer led to a planned spot with Memphis Ballet, but Morgan called one last time and Touchet was able to come to Cincinnati Ballet instead. “I was meant to be here. I started as an apprentice and moved all the way through the ranks. I had always had my heart and mind set on Cincinnati Ballet.” Prior to joining Cincinnati Ballet, Touchet trained with the Delta Festival Ballet under the direction of Joseph Giacobbe, Giacobbe Academy of Dance, Hartford Ballet, Royal Danish Ballet, Pacifi c Northwest Ballet.

SENIOR SOLOISTSRODRIGO ALMARALES

Havana, CubaJoined 2011Rodrigo Almarales trained with National Ballet School (Cuba), National Ballet School (Mexico), National Ballet School (Canada) and Hamburg Ballet School. Rodrigo performed as a soloist

from 2007 to 2009 with the Deutsche Oper Am Rhein in Germany and was a top-seven fi nalist on Italian television show Amici in 2009. He spent the 2010-11 season with Boston Ballet before joining Cincinnati Ballet in 2011. Rodrigo’s extensive performance experience includes full-length ballets such as The Nutcracker, Giselle, Swan Lake, Cinderella, Don Quixote and The Sleeping Beauty. He was a bronze medal recipient in the Varna International Ballet Competition in 2008 and in the Korea International Ballet Competition in 2009. In 2012 he was the silver medal recipient for the Helsinki International Ballet competition. He has performed in multiple international galas and has performed principal roles with the Mongolian National Ballet and the Tokyo Komaki Ballet.

GEMA DIAZPinar del Rio, CubaJoined 2005Born in Pinar del Rio, Cuba and raised in Havana, Diaz has been dancing since the age of three. She trained with The National Ballet School in Havana and The Vocational Ballet School in Santa Clara, dancing with Ballet Nacional de Cuba for

three years. Diaz won a silver medal in the International Ballet Competition of Cuba in 1999, and has toured all over the world. Upon joining Cincinnati Ballet in 2005, Diaz says “there is always something new to dance and new choreographers. Dance is the best way I can express myself. It’s very rewarding when it gets to people.” Diaz enjoys dancing with Cincinnati Ballet because she has learned “different ways to dance” and enjoys learning new repertoire. “It makes me feel alive.”

LIANG FUQingdao, China Joined 2008Liang Fu was born in Qing Dao, China. He began his dance education in one of the world’s most prestigious ballet institutions, the Beijing Dance Academy, under the direction of Cao Jing

Rong. After graduating from the Academy in 2001, he accepted an invitation to join the Singapore Dance Theater (SDT), where he danced until 2006. During his years with SDT, he performed many solo and principal roles in the company’s classical and contemporary ballets. His repertoire there included works by Marius Petipa, Jiri Kylian, Ohad Naharin, August Bournonville, Choo San Goh, and many other world famous choreographers. In 2003, he was invited to perform at the celebrated Gala of Benois de La Danse Competition at Bolshoi Theater in Moscow, Russia. Following this honor, he went on to win fi rst prize at the Asia Pacifi c International Ballet Competition 2005 in Tokyo, Japan. He joined Universal Ballet Company in Seoul, Korea in 2007. In the short period of time spent there, he enriched his repertoire with works by Oleg Vinogradov and Vassili Vainonen, among several other choreographers. Fu joined Cincinnati Ballet in 2008. He was promoted to Soloist in 2010 and Senior Soloist in 2012, where he enjoys the feeling of being “one big family” with dancers and staff.

ZACK GRUBBSDallas, TX Joined 2002Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, Grubbs began his dance training to supplement his gymnastic education. He trained at various ballets across the country, including Boston Ballet, where he was a member of the company for four years. Grubbs

came to Cincinnati in 2002, was promoted to soloist in 2005 and senior soloist in 2008. Grubbs has also performed in several operas with the Santa Fe Opera in 1999, the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis in 2005 and the Cincinnati Opera in 2007. He acknowledges Tanju


Tuzer as his professional mentor and his mother for her boundless support of his career. Outside of dance, Grubbs and his wife, Connie, love spending as much time as they can with their two children.

PATRIC PALKENSLewistown, MT Joined 2011Palkens has trained and performed with Orlando Ballet, Pacifi c Northwest Ballet, Ballet Chicago, Escuela de Ballet del Teatro Municipal de Santiago, Chile and The Dance Syndicate, Montana. As a principal dancer with Orlando

Ballet, Palkens performed in the world premiere of Robert Hill’s Homage at the Grand Opening Gala of the Waldorf Astoria in Orlando. After joining Cincinnati Ballet in 2011, Palkens quickly rose through the ranks to Soloist in 2012. Following a last-minute stand-in—and wildly successful—performance as Romeo in 2012-2013’s Romeo & Juliet, Palkens was promoted to Senior Soloist for the 2013-2014 50th Anniversary Season.

SOLOISTS

COURTNEY CONNOR JONESHuntington Beach, CA Joined 2006 Connor Jones knows about stepping up to the plate. In March 2012, after both female principal dancers at Cincinnati Ballet and a third fi ll-in from Tulsa Ballet became injured, Connor Jones took the spotlight and performed the lead female role

in Rite of Spring. In the summer of 2009 she traveled to Russia and performed the role of Giselle, and other soloist/principal roles in various ballets. “Going to Russia and dancing there for two and a half months changed my approach to dancing and strengthened my technique,” she says. Connor Jones was promoted to Soloist this year, due in no small part to her tenacity. Her past six years of growth here at Cincinnati Ballet have given her the opportunity to deepen her understanding of what it is to be a performer; of combining strong technique with spirit and emotion in order to share a sense of true emotion with the audience.

ROMEL FROMETAHavana, Cuba Joined 2012Frometa began dancing in 1992 at the Provincial School of Ballet “Alejo Carpentier” in Cuba, and continued in the National School of Ballet until 1998, joining the Ballet Nacional de Cuba in 2001, under the artistic and technical

of Alicia Alonso. At the age of 21, Castellon was named principal dancer at Ballet Nacional, later spending three years dancing in Spain, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. Castellon joined Cincinnati Ballet in 2012, and enjoys the different dance experiences he is having here.

MAIZYALET VELÁZQUEZCieba, Puerto Rico Joined 2007A native of Puerto Rico, Velázquez began her training at Ballet Concierto de Puerto Rico, training in both the conservatory and company. She graduated from the Virginia School of the Arts in 2007, where she studied under David Keener

and the late Petrus Bosman. Velázquez joined Cincinnati Ballet upon graduation, and was promoted to Soloist in 2012. She enjoys working with Cincinnati Ballet because it offers the opportunity to perform both classical and contemporary repertoire.

MUSIC DIRECTORRANDALL CRAIG FLEISCHER

ASSISTANT CONDUCTORLINN WEEDA

Celebrating over six decades of music-making in the Last Frontier, the Anchorage Symphony continues as a champion of musical and artistic standards for sym-phonic music performance and education throughout Southcentral Alaska.

The Anchorage Symphony Orchestra originated when 17 musicians – both amateur and professional – began meeting once a week in 1946. Their common inter-est in music and enthusiasm for creating an organized community orchestra evolved into one of Alaska’s old-est arts institutions. Today the Anchorage Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Maestro Randall Craig Fleischer, is a vibrant and professional group of 80 musicians who consistently win critical acclaim and enthusiastic approval from audiences.

The Anchorage Symphony Orchestra brings the beauty and joy of orchestral music to Southcentral Alaska

through a variety of performances, including the Clas-sic Concert Series, Special Events and Neighborhood

Concerts. The ASO also offers Young People’s Con-certs, specifi cally designed for fourth, fi fth and sixth grade students. The interactive concerts introduce classical music to the younger generation, inspiring them to become involved in their school’s orchestra or band program and giving them a broader understand-ing of music.

Extending its reach beyond the concert hall, the ASO offers numerous education and outreach opportunities for both students and the general public. High school and middle school band and orchestra students benefi t from the ASO’s coaching program, scholarship oppor-tunities and masterclasses. Free pre-concert lectures are offered to the public, as well as radio programs and

the opportunity to participate in the commissioning of new works through the ASO’s commissioning club, Musica Nova.

The ASO is a frequent collaborator with other arts organizations, including the Anchorage Concert As-sociation, Anchorage Concert Chorus, Alaska Cham-

ber Singers and Alaska Dance Theatre. In 2003, the

Symphony joined forces with Anchorage Opera to perform the largest locally produced opera ever staged in Alaska, Puccini’s Turandot. The ASO proudly col-laborated with Anchorage Opera once again in January 2005 for the Anchorage premiere of Wagner’s epic, The Flying Dutchman.

The vision of the Anchorage Symphony Orchestra includes fusing the tradition of the symphony with in-novations – a refl ection of the frontier spirit of Alaska. In keeping with this vision, the ASO includes program-ming of genre-bending performances, including the world premiere of Echoes, a multi-media work written by Randall Craig Fleischer, which incorporates Native American, Alaska Native, and Native Hawai’ian song and dance with orchestra.

The Anchorage Symphony Orchestra and ASO musi-

cians are recipients of prominent awards; in 2001, the Anchorage Symphony was honored with the fi rst-ever Mayor’s Arts Award for Outstanding Arts Organization and shortly thereafter was the recipient of the 2001 Governor’s Award for Outstanding Arts Organization.

BIOGRAPHYIt’s been nearly forty years since Tim Hauser, a former Madison Avenue marketing executive, paid his bills by driving a New York City cab while aspiring to form a harmony vocal quartet sui generis that could authentically embrace varied musical styles, and still create something wholly unique in the fi eld of American popular song.

Hauser had been in doo-wop groups, folk groups, and even in a short-lived quintet named The Manhattan Transfer, but as the sounds of jazz, R&B, pop, rock ‘n’ roll, salsa and swing poured out of brownstones, Hauser now dreamt of four-part harmonies without limits.

In the Fall of 1972, Hauser’s taxi fare was an aspiring young singer named Laurel Massé, who was familiar with the sole album by Hauser’s earlier Manhattan Transfer combo, and was looking to form a group. A few weeks later, another of Hauser’s fares invited him to a party where he met Brooklyn native Janis Siegel; although already in a group, Siegel agreed to help out on some demos and before long she was the third member of The Manhattan Transfer. As Hauser, Massé and Siegel began rehearsing, Massé’s then-boyfriend, who was drumming in a Broadway pit band, introduced Hauser and Siegel to Alan Paul, who was co-starring in the original production of Grease, and the rest, as they say, is history.

In 1974 the group began performing regularly throughout New York City at Trude Hellers, Mercer Arts Center, Max’s Kansas City, Club 82, and other cutting edge cabaret venues. By the end of the year they were the number one live attraction in New York City, prompting Newsweek to send a writer to their show at Reno Sweeney’s in Greenwich Village to report on this growing phenomenon.

Signed to Atlantic Records by the legendary head of the label, Ahmet Ertegun, the group released their self-titled debut in 1975; the second single from the album, a remake of the Friendly Brothers gospel classic “Operator,” gave the group their fi rst national hit. “Operator” took radio stations by storm, from the opening four-part a cappella intro to Siegel’s emotional lead vocal, eventually peaking in the Top 20.As “Operator” rose up the charts, the group was invited to make guest appearances on various variety shows and television specials. Hollywood took notice; and the band was soon tapped to helm a weekly hour-long summer replacement comedy-variety show. The Manhattan Transfer show premiered on August 10, 1975, broadcast in CBS’ old Ed Sullivan time slot, Sunday nights at 8:00PM. Despite censors restricting performances of some of their more risqué songs (“Well Well Well, My Cat Fell In The Well”), and some in the writing staff trying to appeal to youngsters who normally watched The Wonderful World of Disney at that hour, the band still managed to do some wonderful things including featuring Bob Marley and the Wailers in their fi rst US television appearance.

In 1978, Massé was injured in a car accident and during her convalescence, decided not to rejoin the group that had since moved to California. One of many who auditioned

for her slot was Cheryl Bentyne, a stunning singer from Mt. Vernon, Washington, and a four-year veteran of The New Deal Rhythm Band. At Bentyne’s dazzling audition, the other Manhattan Transfer members immediately felt her impact, invited her to join, and, as Paul puts it, “The Transfer’s second phase began.”

The fi rst album featuring the now legendary quartet of Hauser, Siegel, Paul & Bentyne was 1979’s Extensions which earned the band another smash (#1 in New York and #2 in Los Angeles) with “Twilight Zone/Twilight Tone” – their updated take on, and, if you will, extension of, the theme to the Rod Serling hosted program of the same name. The album also featured a vocal remake of the Weather Report classic “Birdland,” with lyrics by Jon Hendricks, that would go on to be recognized as the group’s anthem, and earn them their fi rst two Grammy Awards for Best Jazz Fusion Performance, Vocal or Instrumental and Best Arrangement For Voices for Siegel’s work on the song.

The group went from strength to strength, when in 1981, they became the fi rst group ever to win Grammy Awards in both Pop and Jazz categories in the same year – Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for “Boy From New York City,” and Best Jazz Performance, Duo or Group for “Until I Met You (Corner Pocket),” both from their fi fth studio long player, Mecca for Moderns.

In 1982 and 1983 the group won consecutive Grammy Awards in the Best Jazz Vocal Performance, Duo or Group category for, respectively, “Route 66 and “Why Not!” The critical praise and commercial success of the group’s fi rst seven studio albums could hardly have prepared them for the monumental 12 Grammy nominations they received in 1985 for the album Vocalese. Those 12 nominations made Vocalese the single greatest Grammy nominated album in one year, and cemented the group’s status as one of the most important and innovative vocal groups in the history of popular music.

The Manhattan Transfer closed out the decade by completing a ten-year sweep (1980-1990) as the “Best Vocal Group” in both the annual DownBeat and Playboy jazz polls. In the 1990s, the group’s restless creative energy found them writing more original material (The Offbeat Of Avenueswhich earned them yet another Grammy for Best Contemporary Jazz Performance), and tackling seasonal standards (The Christmas Album arranged by Johnny Mandel, became one of the fi ve best selling Christmas albums on Columbia – the label with the largest Christmas catalogue, and is an annual shopping mall favorite to this day), children’s music (The Manhattan Transfer Meets Tubby The Tuba), 1950?s & 1960?s popular music (Tonin’), and, foreshadowing the success of “Dancing With The Stars,” different genres of swing music (Swing).

If one is judged by the company they keep, this decade found the group recording with some impressive company indeed – Tony Bennett, Bette Midler, Smokey Robinson, Laura Nyro, Phil Collins, B.B. King, Chaka Khan, James Taylor, and the original Jersey Boy, Frankie Valli. Heading into the new millennium, with worldwide sales in the millions, Grammy Awards by the dozen, and as veterans of sold-out

MANHATTAN TRANSFER

world tours, The Manhattan Transfer once again proved their uncanny knack for being ahead of the times by teaming up with the then relatively unknown, but future Grammy Award winning, producer Craig Street to record their tribute to the music of Louis Armstrong (The Spirit Of St. Louis).

The Spirit Of St. Louis was followed by 2003’s live album Couldn’t Be Hotter that “fi nally captured the magic of their live performances on disc” (AllMusic), 2004’s Vibrate, a second foray into Christmas music (An Acapella Christmas), and an album of newly recorded symphonic versions of some of their greatest hits (2006’s The Symphony Sessions). The release of The Defi nitive Pop Collection, a 2-disc retrospective of the group’s greatest hits, provides not only an opportunity to look back at one of the greatest bodies of work in American popular music, but also the chance to look ahead to 2013, the 40th Anniversary of a group that is restless, adventurous, limitless and, as the Philadelphia Inquirer so aptly put it, a group that “still can sound dangerous!”

WHAT’S HOT ON BROADWAY

Keep up on the shows that are getting major buzz.

BRING IT ON: THE MUSICALMatching feats of athleticism with an all-new score, Bring It On The Musical tells the story of the challenges and unexpected bonds formed through the thrill of extreme competition. Set in the world of high school cheerleading, the story centers on a senior who is set to become the captain of the Truman High School cheerleading squad. When she is forced to transfer schools due to a redistricting scheme, she ends up at rival Jackson High -- a racially diverse school

that doesn’t even have a cheerleading team.

KINKY BOOTSCharlie Price (Stark Sands) has suddenly inherited his father’s shoe factory, which is on the verge of bankruptcy. Trying to live up to his father’s legacy and save his family business, Charlie fi nds inspiration in the form of Lola (Billy Porter). A fabulous entertainer in need of some

sturdy stilettos, Lola turns out to be the one person who can help Charlie become the man he’s meant to be. As they work to turn the factory around, this unlikely pair fi nds that they have more in common than they ever dreamed possible… and discover that when you change your mind about someone, you can change your whole world.

A CHRISTMAS STORY, THE MUSICALA Christmas Story The Musical invites you into the Indiana home of Ralphie Parker, an 11-year-old kid who is desperate to win the most coveted holiday prize: an Offi cial Red Ryder Carbine-Action 200-Shot Range Model Air Rifl e. A kooky leg lamp, outrageous pink bunny pajamas, a cranky department store Santa, and a triple-dog-dare to lick a freezing fl agpole are just a few of the obstacles that stand between

Ralphie and his Christmas dream.

MATILDA THE MUSICALBased on the beloved story by Roald Dahl (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), Matilda is the story of an extraordinary little girl who decides that despite a bad beginning, her story is going to be an astonishing one. Armed with a vivid imagination and a sharp mind, Matilda dares to take a stand and change her destiny.
