What inspired the iconic mask from The Phantom of the Opera? Why didn't the Von Trapps really flee over the mountains to Switzerland, as depicted in The Sound of Music? How do the Radio City Rockettes achieve their famed precision, and in an entirely different sort of number, how does a choreographer devise a dance for six naked guys (The Full Monty)? Can lighting be used to milk production number applause? (Yes.) And why did the first Tony Awards bestow those honors on two avid theatergoers?
These are just a few of the fun and fascinating details you'll find in The Performing Arts – Volumes One and Two, the first two offerings of CLASSIC INTERVIEWS, a series of e-books of some of the most interesting and memorable articles culled from Libby's years of writing. The Performing Arts e-books spotlight theater, music and other live performances, along with some of the writers, directors, performers, composers, lyricists, music directors, designers and stage managers who bring them to life.
Both books feature theater productions, among them Les Misérables, Chicago, A Chorus Line and lesser known shows. Volume One also includes articles on Cirque du Soleil, cabaret and aspects of performing such as touring and fans. Volume Two also covers the Hollywood Bowl and other concerts, including a personal account of performing at Carnegie Hall, as well as the arts on television and accolades such as the Tony Awards and the Kennedy Center Honors.
