INSIDEWHAT’S
4 LONG WHARF THEATRE | 2015–16
Welcome to My Paris, the final show of the 2015-16 season – a terrific way to end what has been a very successful season for Long Wharf Theatre. It’s quite a team of collaborators who have gathered together to create this new musical: one of the most distinguished creative teams to grace the Long Wharf stage in our fifty year history.
Charles Aznavour, our composer and lyricist, is one of the most popular singer-songwriters of the past sixty years. He has written more than 1,200 songs, sung in eight languages, and sold more than 180 million records. Well into his 90s, he continues to perform and tour the world. Translating and adapting Aznavour’s lyrics is the brilliantly gifted young American songwriter Jason Robert Brown, the composer of Parade, The Bridges of Madison County, and The Last Five Years. Jason is one of the bright shining lights in our musical theatre scene. The libretto for My Paris is written by Alfred Uhry, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Driving Miss Daisy and Tony Award-winning author of The Last Night of Ballyhoo. Alfred also won a Tony for his libretto of the musical Parade, which was a collaboration with Jason Robert Brown. And these are just the authors! Tony Award-winning director and choreographer Kathleen Marshall and her extraordinary team of actors and designers represent the very best in American musical theatre — just check out their bios.
And what a story these artists have gathered together to tell. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a protected and crippled child of wealthy French aristocrats comes to Paris in search of experience. He discovers drink and women and finds his voice as an artist, painting Parisian night life and the denizens of the evening that have come to be his friends.
What is it that Paris holds for all of us? Hemingway, finding the metaphor in the title for his famous memoir, wrote: “If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.”
In the 19th and 20th centuries Paris was the city of romance, art and frivolity, as well as a city of expatriates and late night cafés. A city of ideas that matter. It is for most of us a place of almost unspeakable beauty. For many, Paris was the cultural capital of the western world. I have yet to meet a person who doesn’t like visiting Paris. But as we have become, as Marshall McLuhan predicted we would, a global village, we have also become more internationalist. Our travels now take us to China, Southeast Asia. More of us now visit India and South America. Paris tourism numbers are down in the last decade and although there would be no way to quantify it, I would wager that the number of expatriate artists sitting at Café de Flor has also declined. After a decade of troubling events in Paris, has its meaning to us somewhat changed? Is the Paris of Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris, of Picasso at the Lapin Agile, of Moulin Rouge, of Sartre and Gertrude Stein, of Matisse and Cézanne, of Balzac and Victor Hugo, of James Joyce and Samuel Beckett, and Simone de Beauvoir, and of Toulouse-Lautrec, gone?
Tonight, sit back and delight in the Paris of your dreams, the Paris of romance and art and delight, lovingly brought to you by the very best that our musical theatre has to offer. Thank you for your continued support during the 2015-16 season.

Dear Friends,
Welcome to My Paris, the final show of the season! I hope you enjoy this evening’s performance.
The model for developing new plays and musicals has truly changed over the last 50 years. During the last century, the “out of town tryout” was a critical step before a show made its Broadway debut. These tryouts occurred in presenting houses all over the country. As you may know, the Shubert Theater here in New Haven had an important role in this regard, and some of the most famous musicals and plays had their premieres there. However, the economics of producing on the road became increasingly expensive, and now it is essentially cost prohibitive to take a risk on an untested piece.
Non-profit theatres like Long Wharf began to appear all around the country in the 1960s, and by the 1970s, many of us had become well-known for being incubators of new work. The most successful of these projects might transfer to Broadway (some top of mind examples include The Great White Hope and A Chorus Line ). Long Wharf has produced dozens of world and American premieres, and 35 of our plays have been subsequently produced in New York, either on Broadway (most recently Sixteen Wounded ), commercial Off-Broadway (most recently Satchmo at the Waldorf ), or at other non-profit theatres (of which there are many recent examples, including The Glass Menagerie and February House ).
Commercial producers saw an opportunity here, and beginning the in 1980s, they began to partner with regional theatres to develop plays and musicals which might eventually make it to Broadway. This practice has become widespread, and at Long Wharf, we may have one or two such partnerships per season. Last season’s The Second Mrs. Wilson is an example of one such partnership, as is My Paris. As an aside, both of these projects have been collaborations with Broadway producer Scott Landis, who has been a terrific colleague.
As always, you can let me know what you think of tonight’s performance by emailing me at [email protected]. Many thanks again for joining us this evening.

L O N G W H A R F T H E A T R E history
Long Wharf Theatre was founded in 1965 by Jon Jory and Harlan Kleiman and is currently led by Artistic Director Gordon Edelstein and Managing Director Joshua Borenstein. Long Wharf Theatre is an organization of international renown and has been a leader in American theatre, producing fresh and imaginative revivals of classic and modern plays, rediscoveries of neglected works and a variety of world and American premieres. Under the artistic leadership of Arvin Brown for over 30 years, Long Wharf Theatre established itself as an important force in the regional theatre movement. Following Brown’s leadership, Doug Hughes served as Artistic Director for four seasons. Throughout its history, Long Wharf Theatre has created a unique home in New Haven for theatre artists from around the world, resulting in the transfer of over 30 productions to Broadway or Off-Broadway, including Satchmo at the Waldorf, My Name is Asher Lev, The Glass Menagerie, Durango, BFE, Sixteen Wounded, Wit (Pulitzer Prize), Hughie, American Buffalo, Requiem for a Heavyweight, Quartermaine’s Terms (Obie Award/Best Play), The Gin Game (Pulitzer Prize), The Shadow Box (Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award/Best Play), The Changing Room, The Contractor (NY Drama Critics Circle/Best Play), and Streamers, among many others now in the American Theatre canon. In 1978, Long Wharf Theatre was honored with a Tony Award for Outstanding Regional Theatre. Currently in its 51st season, Long Wharf Theatre produces an annual season of six plays on its two stages, along with children’s programming, new play workshops and a variety of special events.
