A Chorus Line (1985). Hopefuls try out before a demanding director for a part in a new musical.
I actually didn't know that much about A Chorus Line beyond it's fame on Broadway before watching this, but the movie felt tonally jarring even before finding out that Richard Attenborough swapped an apparently deeply cynical tone for a frothy optimism instead. The way this positions the stories of these characters - which range from awkward to deeply tragic - and the choreographer's request that they sell those stories for a chance, feels just totally at odds with itself. It's a bummer in and of itself, but funnily enough it does make me want to catch it on stage. 5/10.

Companies Saps South African Police Service
It was a life changing experience for me to witness Mike Braude as a ..... You are nonetheless with me Always Both of our 1st XI Hockey groups received to travel to East London this past weekend to participate in Tony Godding Festival and the Greg Beling Festival (boys and ladies respectively). Hosted by the Western Province Cricket Club last weekend (25th-27th March 2022), Cape Town Sixes is certainly one of the most exciting novice sporting and way of life festivals in Africa, and Old Kingswoodian’s got entrance row seats. Grade 10s began their Nal’ibali Community Engagment Project yesterday. What could happen if authorities considered certain public sector challenges through the lens of buyer experience? By altering the best way folks work together with a course of rather than focusing solely on the process itself, agencies can broaden the range of available solutions. Greyling mentioned, “aerial support must not be a CEO decision. So many years have gone by, some excessive crazy years. Your grandson is growing into an amazing young man who you would have adored. I am so sorry you two did not meet. Miss you everyday, all the time in our ideas, Dr Gregory Hough South Africa But Zach should select only the most effective for his show. 1985 musical drama film directed by Richard Attenborough and starring Michael Douglas. The screenplay by Arnold Schulman is predicated on the book of the 1975 stage manufacturing of the identical name by James Kirkwood Jr. and Nicholas Dante. The songs had been composed by Marvin Hamlisch and Edward Kleban. Funds raised will be transferred into my checking account. In a move designed to bring the game of cricket to as many younger learners as attainable, an exciting initiative was launched at Kingswood College on Wednesday afternoon. E to many proficient younger folks, particularly within the sports enviornment, but fairly often this talent can't be identified, nurtured or taken additional, due to a lack of infrastructure and services. On Tuesday afternoon, 15 March 2022, the annual Neil Aggett Memorial Lecture was delivered at Kingswood College. This 12 months we are lucky enough to have our speaker be a part of us at Kingswood College again to ship their speech in person. The film follows John in his early days in England as a prodigy on the Royal Academy of Music via his musical partnership with Taupin, and is titled after John’s 1972 track “Rocket Man”. But when high-brow Broadway audiences mistakenly assume “Springtime for Hitler” is a satire, Bialystock finds himself with the critical acclaim that has long eluded him — and the most important hit of his career. The film stars an ensemble cast led by Nathan Lane, Matthew Broderick, Uma Thurman, Will Ferrell, Gary Beach, Roger Bart, and Jon Lovitz. Creature results have been provided by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop.

Lila Lee (born Augusta Wilhelmena Fredericka Appel; July 25, 1905 – November 13, 1973) was a prominent screen actress, primarily a leading lady, of the silent film and early sound film eras.
The daughter of Augusta Fredericka Appel (1875–1940) and Carl Appel (1873–1935), Lee was born Augusta Wilhelmena Fredericka Appel on July 25, 1905 in Union Hill, New Jersey (now part of Union City), into a middle-class family of German immigrants who relocated to New York City. She had an older sister, Pauline ("Peggy"), who had been born in Hamburg, Germany in 1900.
Searching for a hobby for their gregarious young daughter, the Appels enrolled Lila in Gus Edwards' kiddie review shows where she was given the nickname of "Cuddles"; a name that she would be known by for the rest of her acting career. Her stagework became so popular with the public that her parents had her educated with private tutors. Edwards would become Lee's long-term manager.
Lillian Edwards, wife of Gus Edwards, was Lee's guardian. When Lee was 15 years old, she went to court seeking an injunction to prevent Mrs. Edwards "from collecting any money for Lila's services." Mrs. Edwards countered that she had spent 10 years helping to shape Lee's career and had invested money in her.
Lee performed in vaudeville for eight years.
In 1918, she was chosen for a film contract by Hollywood film mogul Jesse Lasky for Famous Players-Lasky Corporation, which later became Paramount Pictures. Her first feature The Cruise of the Make-Believes garnered the seventeen-year-old starlet much public acclaim and Lasky quickly sent Lee on an arduous publicity campaign. Critics lauded Lila for her wholesome persona and sympathetic character parts. Lee quickly rose to the ranks of leading lady and often starred opposite such matinee heavies as Conrad Nagel, Gloria Swanson, Wallace Reid, Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle, and Rudolph Valentino. Lee bore more than a slight resemblance to Ann Little, a former Paramount star and frequent Reid co-star who was leaving the film business and at this stage in her career an even stronger resemblance to Marguerite Clark.
In 1922 Lee was cast as Carmen in the enormously popular film Blood and Sand, opposite matinee idol Rudolph Valentino and silent screen vamp Nita Naldi; Lee subsequently won the first WAMPAS Baby Stars award that year. Lee continued to be a highly popular leading lady throughout the 1920s and made scores of critically praised and widely watched films.
As the Roaring Twenties drew to a close, Lee's popularity began to wane and Lee positioned herself for the transition to talkies. She is one of the few leading ladies of the silent screen whose popularity did not nosedive with the coming of sound. She went back to working with the major studios and appeared, most notably, in The Unholy Three, in 1930, opposite Lon Chaney Sr. in his only talkie. However, a series of bad career choices and bouts of recurring tuberculosis and alcoholism hindered further projects and Lee was relegated to taking parts in mostly grade B-movies.
Lee was married and divorced three times. Her first husband was actor James Kirkwood, Sr., whom she married on July 26, 1923. They had met on the set of Ebb Tide in 1922. Kirkwood filed for divorce in May 1930 on grounds of her desertion; the divorce was finalized in August 1931. Lee and Kirkwood had a son in 1924, James Kirkwood, Jr., whose custody was granted to his father; he became a highly regarded playwright and screenwriter whose works include A Chorus Line and P.S. Your Cat Is Dead. Kirkwood Jr. was primarily raised by Lee's family in Elyria, Ohio.
In her autobiography, Lee revealed she lost her virginity to Kirkwood before they were married and she fell pregnant as a result. Kirkwood ultimately arranged an abortion for her, and their relationship continued after this only because Kirkwood threatened to tell Lee's mother of their premarital relations.
In June 1928, Lee began an affair with John Farrow while Kirkwood was in London.[8] Lee wrote Kirkwood stating she wanted a divorce, and in late September of that year, the two formally separated. Lee decided not to fight for custody of their son because Kirkwood threatened to kill Farrow, Lee, their son, and himself. After their divorce, Lee traveled to Arizona and stayed in a sanitarium. Lee also became engaged to John Farrow, but they separated in 1933 after Lee discovered he was being unfaithful to her. He would go on to marry Maureen O'Sullivan in 1936.
At the beginning of her career, Lee dated Charlie Chaplin.
Her second husband was broker Jack R. Peine, who she married on December 8, 1934. By July 2, 1935, the two had divorced. Lee claimed Peine was a drunk, a gambler, and a cheater. Shortly into their marriage, with Lila looking for a house for the two, Peine took off to Mexico and didn't return for a month.
In 1935, Lee began a relationship with car salesman Reid Russell. In 1936, Lee was living in California with her son, novelist Gouverneur Morris, and his wife Ruth. Lee became engaged to Russell and planned to marry him once he obtained a divorce. On September 25, 1936, Russell's dead body was discovered outside on the hammock by Kirkwood Jr. He had been shot in the head with a .32 caliber one or two days prior. The bullet had penetrated Russell's head and passed through the other side, but the bullet and empty shell were never located. The gun found in his hand was one he kept in his bureau drawer at home.
Her third husband was broker John E. Murphy. According to author Sean Egan in the James Kirkwood biography Ponies & Rainbows (2011), Murphy's will left Lee at the financial mercy of his second wife, who consequently became the manipulative character Aunt Claire in P.S. Your Cat Is Dead, written by Lee's son, James Kirkwood, Jr.
Following the discovery of Russell's body, his death was investigated and treated as a suicide, and Mr. and Mrs. Morris both said that he was suicidal and had made suicidal remarks after losing his job. Lee would later confirm he had threatened suicide on multiple occasions and that he talked about it incessantly.
On November 11, the Los Angeles Times reported that a woman had made a telephone threat towards Russell's mom, Victoria, urging her to stop pushing the investigation into her son's death. The case had recently been reopened after Victoria had a conference with the investigators. Ruth told Lila that Reid had left a suicide note, but that she wasn't going to tell anyone about it. Lee went to the District Attorney's office to say that there was no suicide note, however Morris backtracked and said that there was. Lee herself never read the note, but Morris read it to her, and then burned it in an ashtray. Later in life, James Kirkwood Jr. would confide to a friend, William Russo, that there had been three suicide notes - one in Ruth Morris' jewel box, and two within a newel post on the handrail of a set of stairs in the house. The two other notes were found after the case was closed.
Gouverneur Morris, his wife Ruth, and Lila Lee were questioned by authorities about the destruction of the suicide note. Mrs. Morris claimed she found the suicide note in a box on her dresser drawer two or three days after Russell's body was discovered. Because his death had already been declared a suicide, Morris decided to burn it. Gouverneur Morris added that neither he nor his wife heard the report of a gunshot neighbors recalled coming from the Morris home at about 9 P.M. on September 24, and that there had been no argument prior to Russell's death.
On November 17, the Los Angeles Times reported that Russell's body may be exhumed depending on the report of a ballistic expert who was trying to determine if the .32 caliber revolver found in his hand had been fired recently. The following day, it was reported that Russell's body was to be exhumed as it could not be determined if the .32 caliber had been fired recently because the gun was in such rusty condition. During this time, investigators began to doubt the suicide hypothesis, but still were not considering murder, but rather if his death had occurred somewhere else other than outside on the hammock.
That same day, the San Francisco Chronicle reported that Russell's mother Victoria claimed that four days before Russell's body was found, a woman had telephoned repeatedly asking for Russell and demanding to know where he was. Investigators were beginning to consider that Russell's death could have been a "love slaying". However, on November 19, his ex-wife told the Los Angeles Times that she believed Russell had killed himself. An entirely new theory was also introduced that day by The Examiner, who ran a story headed, "Racketeering Ring Linked to Russell Case". The source for the information was Detective Lieutenant Harry Leslie Hansen of the Georgia Street Divison, who was an old friend of Russell. The Los Angeles Times carried the story the next day, claiming that Hansen had reported to the District Attorney's office that Russell had told him that he was going to quit his automobile salesman's job to smuggle arms and ammunition to a foreign country. Russell revealed these plans to Hansen when the two had gone on a weekend party five days before his death. The same paper reported that Russell's exhumed body had led a county autopsy to declare that the results of the first autopsy still stood: the wound on Russell's temple was powder-marked and seared, indicating a self-inflicted wound, and that the wound was too small to have been made by either .45 or .38 caliber weapons and too big to have resulted from the firing of a .22, thus indicating that the .32 found in Russell's hand was indeed the cause of death.
In the 1930s she was diagnosed with tuberculosis and briefly stayed at a sanitarium in Prescott, Arizona in 1933. She then moved to Saranac Lake, New York for treatment at the Will Rogers Memorial Hospital. Lee made several uneventful appearances in stage plays in the 1940s, and starred in early television soap operas in the 1950s.
In 1973 Lee died of a stroke at Saranac Lake. She is buried at Brookdale Cemetery in Elyria, Ohio.
For her contribution as an actress in motion pictures, she was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1716 Vine Street. It was dedicated on February 8, 1960.

Angel’s Official List of 50 Shows to Experience Before Your Inevitable Death
I know that not everyone has the time, money, or energy to see live theatre (and finding good productions of every single one of these shows near you would be difficult if not impossible), so when I say “experience”, I mean read the script, watch a film adaptation if there is one, listen to the soundtrack, read up on the production history, watch a professional recording if there is one, or a bootleg if there isn’t. All of that good stuff counts. I’ve also excluded Shakespeare’s works from the list because everyone should experience Shakespeare (particularly The Tempest and A Midsummer Night’s Dream) before they die. So, in no particular order, Angel’s Official List of 50 Shows to Experience Before Your Inevitable Death:

19. the sport or exercise you enjoy the most, and what’s helped you get better at it
i really love yoga and since ive just really doubled down on doing it every day, ive become a lot more flexible and its definitely helped me manage some of my chronic spinal pain!
21. a youtube video you find useful, entertaining or relaxing
I HAVE LITERALLY ONLY BEEN WATCHING JERMA HIGHLIGHT REELS ON YOUTUBE FOR DAYS
23. the book you just finished and what you thought (no spoilers!)
the last like standalone novel i read recently was P.S. Your Cat Is Dead by James Kirkwood Jr and it was absolutely wild and really fucking good. its basically about this guy whose life is going to shit and then this guy breaks into his house on new years eve and he knocks the burglar out and ties him up in his kitchen, but then they start becoming friends and then YES it is gay. and also NONE of that is spoilers because it says all of those things on the book’s cover. it was written in the 70s so theres definitely some dated references/ideas but id still recommend it! 
25. a game you’re playing that takes your mind off things
ANIMAL CROSSING BABYYYYY
27. your favourite flavour and brand of tea
ohh i love pukka’s chamomile, vanilla, and manuka honey tea!

Chorus Line
Tumblr media
Luego de tanta espera finalmente hoy estrena Chorus Line en el Teatro Maipo bajo la dirección de Ricky Pashkus. El musical cuenta con 17 artistas en escena (entre ellos Laura Conforte, Sofía Pachano) y coreografía de Gustavo Wons.
Chorus Line tendrá funciones de miércoles a domingo y los sábados, doble función 
Tumblr media
Chorus Line es un musical sobre un selecto y talentoso grupo de artistas que participan de la audición para ser parte de un importante musical; se eligirá la línea de coro, el ensamble, para lo cual deberán dar lo major y más aún. Deberán bailar, cantar y actuar, pero además abrir sus corazones, pues así se los pedirá el exigente director. La trama muestra las personalidades de los bailarines y del director y coreógrafo del show, a medida que ellos nos cuentan los eventos que moldearon sus vidas y las decisiones que los hicieron bailarines. Una valiosa muestra de talento que movilizará el corazón y expresará sobre todo que… seguir nuestros deseos es la opción esencial sobre todo en estas épocas de crisis. Creado, dirigido y coreografiado por Michael Bennett, el libreto de la pieza fue escrito por James Kirkwood Jr. y Nicholas Dante, la letra por Edward Kleban y la música por Marvin Hamlilsch. Llevado a los escenarios en abril de 1975, se hizo uno de los grandes fenómenos de público y de crítica en Estados Unidos y en el resto del mundo, permaneciendo cerca de quince años ininterrumpidamente en cartel en Broadway. El éxito sin precedentes que conquistó desde su estreno hizo con que fuera nominado para doce premios Tony, de los cuales ganó nueve, además del Premio Pulitzer para Drama de 1976. Fenómeno también de taquilla, recaudando cerca de US$ 277 millones a través de la venta de más de 6,5 millones de entradas, y siendo el espectáculo de más larga duración en la historia de la Broadway hasta salir de cartel en 1990. Hasta hoy es el musical de mayor duración producido originalmente en Estados Unidos. “Chorus Line” produjo centenares de montajes alrededor del mundo por más de treinta años y tuvo un relanzamiento en Broadway en 2006, dieciséis años después del cierre y treinta y un años después del original. Presentado entre octubre de 2006 y agosto de 2008, el musical volvió a conquistar popularidad entre la nueva generación, recuperando su inversión inicial de US$ 8 millones en sólo diecinueve semanas, además de ser nominado a varios premios Tony.
