SAW THE MUSICAL: THE UNAUTHORIZED PARODY OF SAW Extends Off-Broadway and Announces National Tour.

After an astonishing New York run this Fall, SAW The Musical The Unauthorized Parody of Saw has extended its run Off-Broadway at AMT Theatre (345 West 45th Street) through Jun 23, 2024. It will also kick off a national tour in LA with a six-week run beginning Feb 29 at the Hudson Theatres Mainstage (6539 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90038 in Hollywood) SAW The Musical: The Unauthorized Parody began performances Off-Broadway on Sept 16, 2023, with its New York Opening Night on Sunday, Oct 1, 2023, and was called "Hilariously Absurd" by NPR. The run is extended through Jun 23, 2024, in Midtown's Theater District.

Danny Durr as Gordon and Jill Owen

The National Tour stops include Los Angeles, CA (Hudson Theatre Mainstage, Feb 29- Apr 7, 2024 ); San Diego, CA (Tenth Ave Arts Center, April 10 – 28, 2024), Las Vegas, NV (May 1 – 5, 2024), Portland, OR (Alberta Abbey, May 15 – Jun 9, 2024), Greely, CO (Union Colony Civic Center, June 2024), Chicago, IL (Jul 26 – Aug 18, 2024). Exact dates, locations, and tickets can be purchased by visiting www.sawthemusical.com/national-tour.

One of the most thought-provoking horror films of all time now is…a musical. SAW The Musical hilariously captures the events of the first movie, parodying the Saw that started it all, following from where Lawrence Gordon and Adam Stanheight find each other for the first time in the bathroom trap. Will they follow "the rules" as they discover each other's secrets? Will they escape the game in time and saw right through? A love story with fluidity (and lots more fluids), SAW The Musical: The Unauthorized Parody of Saw is Little Shop of Horrors meets Avenue Q, pushing the boundary on sexuality and how to love. [Parental Advisory: Explicit Content]

"SAW The Musical: The Unauthorized Parody of Saw brings the iconic horror film to life on stage with a wickedly funny twist. Now is the perfect time to laugh at the macabre as we blend horror and hair-raising laughter, creating a unique musical experience that's both hilarious and thrilling. Get ready for a love story entangled in traps, secrets, and unexpected humor, pushing the boundaries of entertainment with a dash of explicit fun." Cooper Jordan, Creator, and Producer

Everyone who has ever, even slightly, been Robin

*In official, DC-endorsed media

Total: 98 (i think)

FYI:

my definition of a ‘Robin’ is extremely vague. For example, I’m counting Lois Lane because she went to a costume party as Robin, and I’m also counting ‘Boy’ from Batman: the Return of Bruce Wayne because he had the domino mask paint and was clearly a stand-in for Robin. Et cetera.

They’re organized chronologically by their first appearance as Robin

Also this is heavily dependent on DC Fandom Wiki, so please let me know if I missed anyone or if anything is inaccurate

KEY

Red = actually Robin for a significant portion of time (more than a few in-universe days & more than one issue/episode/movie/etc)

Italics = was never Robin in main continuity (i.e. Earth Two [before Earth One existed], Earth One, New Earth, and Prime Earth)

Robert Fraser in the Evening Standard, July 28, 1967

Robert Fraser had appealed his sentence for heroin possession but was denied. He ended up serving 4 months of a 6 month sentence (he'd already been in prison for 5 weeks at the time of this hearing).

The entire article is transcribed below the cut.

Evening Standard, Jul 28, 1967

‘Heroin is a killer’

Art Gallery Man Loses Appeal by Gordon Corner

The six-months prison sentence passed on Robert Hugh Fraser, 29-year-old art gallery director, on drug charges, is to stand.

This was decided in the Criminal Division of the Court of Appeals this afternoon after Lord Parker, the Lord Chief Justice, had termed heroin as a killer.

Fraser had pleaded guilty at West Sussex Quarter Sessions at Chichester to possession of 24 tablets of heroin and had been refused bail pending his trial.

The appeals of Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger and Keith Richard, who were also sentenced on drug charges, are to be heard on Monday.

Fraser’s appeal was turned down after his counsel, Mr. William Denny, who made a strong plea that the five weeks his client had already served was sufficient, had revealed that Fraser was now cured of his addiction.

Lord Parker said Fraser had been found in possession of heroin in a house raided at West Wittering: He had 24 tablets in his jacket pocket. Fraser had claimed he was a diabetic and that a doctor had prescribed for this. But this was completely untrue, for the tablets were his daily dose. Fraser by then was a heroin addict.

After being found in possession of the tablets Fraser had had the courage to go to a doctor who had started treatment of an extremely disagreeable kind. The court had been told that he was no longer an addict.

Lord Parker said the court wanted to make it clear that in considering Fraser’s case they were paying no attention whatsoever to any connection there might have been with the case of Jagger and Richard.

Good Family

What the court knew about those cases it was putting completely out of its mind in the case of Fraser. His case was approached in complete isolation.

Fraser, went on Lord Parker, could not expect any special treatment by reason of privileges through his station in life. He came from an extremely good family, had been to a famous public school and served with two renowned regiments.

But these privileges, if anything, carried greater responsibility and would tempt a court to give more rather than less in the way of a sentence.

A man in Fraser’s position was not sentenced because he was an addict. Everybody was extremely sorry for him. What he was being sentenced for was for commencing the taking of this drug.

In this particular case the court was dealing solely with heroin, and where heroin was concerned the court was satisfied that in the ordinary way, where there were no special circumstances, public interest demanded that some form of detention should be imposed.

“Heroin has been termed a killer and it must be remembered that anybody who takes heroin puts there body and soul into the hands of the supply or the supplier,” said Lord Parker.

The court was firmly of the opinion that a sentence of detention in the absence of special circumstances was a proper one.

The court, in considering whether the sentence was excessive, bore in mind that Fraser had the courage to go to a doctor and was now cured. But it was not satisfied that the sentence passed in any way erred in principle.

Earlier Mr. Denny had said that Fraser had an excellent background with a father who was a famous financier and had gone to a top-class public school. Five years ago he established his own art gallery in London’s West End which had met with considerable success.

Explaining how he had been introduced to the drug, Mr. Denny said that about a year ago Fraser was overworked and tired and was offered some drugs by an employee. He had never touched drugs of any kind before, but after four or five doses he was addicted.

After describing the steps Fraser had taken to get cured, Mr. Denny said: “Having heard the defendant had broken his addiction, one would have felt it possible that the Quarter Sessions would have leavened the condemnation of the offence with congratulations for its remedy.

“For here was a man who was himself the only victim of his offence. But of these matters put before the court one is bound to say that there is no indication that these matters weighed in terms of mitigation with the court.”

Greater responsibility

Mr. Denny added that there was no reason given by the court for imposing such a severe sentence.

Lord Parker then intervened to say: “I think personally that the greater the privileges of a man, his home, his background, his station in life, education at a public school and two renowned regiments—these very privileges give greater responsibility, and one is tempted to say that a man with these privileges must get more than an unfortunate man who has had no privileges.”

Lord Justice Winn also intervened during Mr. Denny’s argument and said: “Parliament must be taken to know the facts—heroin is a killer apart from complete moral destruction, death will follow inevitably from taking heroin. Only eight per cent of heroin addicts have lived for more than a few years.”

Mr. Denny said that Fraser had already served five weeks and he felt no further useful purpose would be served by keeping a person who had not harmed anyone else in prison any longer.

The resentment felt by Fraser when sentence was passed was understandable because the merits and the perspective of his particular case were lost in the events and the supercharges atmosphere in what happened in the following two days in the trial of his co-defendants Jagger and Richard.

Although Fraser had pleaded guilty he had been ordered to pay £200 costs. Jagger, who had pleaded not guilty in a case which had been fought and in which he was sentences to three months, was ordered to pay £100 costs. “One cannot see the rational of it,” said Mr. Denny.

Said Lord Justice Winn: “I cannot see that has anything to do with the sentence passed. One was for amphetamine and the other one was for heroin.”

And he added that here Fraser was getting a fresh hearing before a court which was paying no attention to the Richard and Jagger cases.

VOICE OF THE FORCE (#110, JUL 2009)

Yoda—the ultimate Jedi Master, a character known and loved throughout the world, whose voice was created by one of the most legendary puppeteers and voice actors of all time. You’d think that taking over the character from Frank Oz would be such a daunting and difficult assignment that it would be all one performer could handle.

But not when that performer is Tom Kane, one of the top voice-over artists working today, and the man who has given voice to some of the most memorable and iconic animated characters of the last dozen years. In fact, Yoda is merely the most prominent of a seemingly endless stream of Star Wars roles Kane continues to tackle. A born mimic, Kane even admitted he dedicated no time to preparing for the powerful role—other than the years he’d spent as a devoted Star Wars fan.

“The Yoda thing just kind of happened,” Kane tells Star Wars Insider, explaining that he was already in a recording studio playing another character for a LucasArts video game. “I’m a Star Wars nerd,” he says, “so I would sit there looking through the script, and I would try to do my best Grand Moff Tarkin or Boba Fett or whoever. I was goofing around one day, and saw some Yoda lines, so of course I was trying to do my very best Yoda, and the producer looked up and said, ‘Can you do that again?’

“What I didn’t know,” he continues, “was that Frank Oz was very busy at that point because he had become a very successful director. So they played my Yoda for George Lucas and got approval, and suddenly I found myself doing Yoda for videogames, and that led to toys and commercials. When it came time to do Star Wars: The Clone Wars, somebody up north said, ‘We’re just going to use Tom.’”

CAST OF CHARACTERS

By that point, of course, George Lucas and his team had good reason to be confident in Kane’s formidable abilities. He’d already played Yoda in several LucasArts games, such as Jedi Power Battles, Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, Super Bombad Racing, Jedi Starfighter, Star Wars: Battlefront I and II, and videogame adaptation of Revenge of the Sith, among many others. Most memorably of all, Kane voiced the sage Jedi Master in The Clone Wars micro-series that ran on Cartoon Network from 2003 to 2005.

Kane’s Yoda voice—confident, resonant, and true to Oz’s original vision—is the culmination of a saga that began with Kane’s work on the early LucasArts title, The Dig. That success led to Kane’s entry into the Star Wars universe, where he has provided voices for nearly every videogame the company has ever created. Kane started out playing random stormtroopers and Imperial officers before going on to tackle more familiar characters like Lobot, Admiral Ackbar, C-3PO, Nien Nunb, Bib Fortuna, and even those three characters he used to impersonate during his goof-off breaks: Boba Fett, Grand Moff Tarkin, and Yoda.

Indeed, it was Kane’s success in the videogame world that led to the next step, about which he’d always dreamed: animation. That dream has come true many times over, with Kane having voiced unforgettable characters like Professor Utonium and the villainous Him on The Powerpuff Girls, Darwin the chimpanzee of The Wild Thornberrys, Mr. Herriman on Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends, Lord Monkey Fist of Kim Possible, and Magneto on Wolverine and the X-Men. He also lent his many voices to such ’toons as Duck Dodgers, Shrek the Third, and late 1990s animated series starring Spider-Man, Iron Man, and the Incredible Hulk—not to mention his continued videogame voice work, which has included Gandalf for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring and Commissioner Gordon in the Batman game, Arkham Asylum.

PHONING IT IN!

Yet the scope of Kane’s work is so wide that all of those famous characters are just a small slice of it.

In fact, if you’ve turned on your TV or radio today, chances are you’ve already heard him. Kane works every day—which is virtually unheard of among voice performers —and the vast majority of his work is as an announcer, voicing everything from promotional spots for TV crime dramas to the trailers for Monsters vs. Aliens. He’s been the official voice of the Academy Awards a few times, and he’s done so many commercials and movie trailers, he’s lost count. On the day Star Wars Insider caught up with him, Kane was between recording sessions, one as an announcer for CBS promos and the other for a character on Adult Swim’s The Boondocks.

He does it nearly all from a home studio in Kansas City, his hometown that he returned to in 2005 with his wife and six children after 20 years in Los Angeles. Kane is now so in-demand that he can literally “phone it in,” recording his voice over a high-bandwidth ISDN line that connects him to the Los Angeles studios where the directors sit. “I grew up here, and my wife and I met at the University of Kansas,” Kane says. “Our families are here on both sides, and we wanted to let the kids get to know their grandparents.”

Growing up just outside of Kansas City, where he was born in 1962, Kane never expected to be working on major Hollywood projects, but he did have a talent for mimicry and voices from an early age, a skill he started to develop in the local media.

“My mom tells me that when I was three years of age, my grandfather would be watching the football game and cussing at the television in German, and I would just repeat what Grandpa said. He would laugh and say, ‘Ya, the kid’s got a pretty good German accent.’ I used to embarrass the heck out of my sister in the grocery store, because we’d be in the cereal aisle and I’d go, ‘Frosted Flakes, they’re grrrrrrreat!’” [It should be noted that Kane said that last part in a perfect Tony the Tiger voice.]

Young Tom soon discovered he could do almost any voice he heard—and he loved doing it. By the time he was 15, he was confident enough to start cold-calling local advertisers, offering his services as an announcer.

“The local commercials were horrendously bad,” he recalls, “and I just thought it would be fun to hear myself on TV. It didn’t occur to me that anybody got paid for it. Most turned me away, but I got a call back from the American Cancer Society’s ad agency. I had called, basically saying, ‘Your Public Service Announcement sounds like you put the microphone in front of the receptionist.’ I was a teenager and had no tact, but it turns out that’s exactly what had happened. They called me up and said, ‘We understand you’re willing to donate your time.’

“I was 15 years old, but I sounded like an adult on the phone,” he continues. “I had to have my dad drive me to the studio, and of course, they walked up to him. He said, “No,” and pointed at this pimply-faced teenager. The poor producer had to explain to his boss that this 15-year-old kid was the one he hired!”

The producers were even more skeptical when the “pimply teen” offered to read the script, “like the old man from the Pepperidge Farms commercials,” he said, but their attitudes changed when the young upstart delivered a perfect, Wilford Brimley-esque performance in one take. “I wasn’t trying to show off,” he confesses. “I just thought it would be fun.” Three days later, the same ad agency hired him to voice a cowboy in five more TV ads.

“By the time I went to college, I’d done probably a hundred commercials,” Kane said, “and by the time I got out of college, I’d done several hundred. But I always wanted to do cartoons, and there’s only one place those exist, and that’s Los Angeles. So we made our way out there around 1985, and I was tremendously successful in every other aspect of voice-over work very quickly. But I couldn’t get arrested when it came to cartoons. I auditioned and auditioned, and I think I was there for six years before I started landing anything. I’d really almost given up.”

A LIFE CHANGING MOVIE!

It turned out that Kane’s break came out of another passion from his formative years in Kansas—his love of Star Wars. “It was the last day of school in the ninth grade when Star Wars came out in 1977,” he recalls, “and the world changed for me that day. Within 10 seconds, when that Star Destroyer came overhead, I just sat there with my mouth hanging open, going, ‘Whoa!’ I think I saw the movie 12 times. I took my mom, and then I took my grandmother. She said, ‘Oh honey, I don’t watch those types of movies,’ and I said, ‘Grandma, you will love this,’ and she did. When the other movies came out over the next several years, she went and saw them.”

So Kane was thrilled when he finally got a job doing character voices for LucasArts. “Then the first time they hired me to do something for Star Wars,” he said, “I sat there sort of just shaking my head, because to be a fan and find myself sitting in front of a script with the words Star Wars on it, and characters that I knew and loved, and here I am working for a guy that had an office up at Lucasfilm ... I’m sitting there thinking, ‘How did this happen?”

It happened because Kane could seemingly do any voice in the Star Wars universe, as he proved over the course of the last dozen years doing voices for videogames, from classic voices heard in the Star Wars movies to brand new characters. Some of those new characters were still familiar, posing an even greater challenge. Kane had to come up with the first-ever voice for previously-silent Lando-sidekick Lobot, as well as the sound of Vandar Tokare, one of only two other known members of Yoda’s species, who soon returns in a new multi-player online game, Star Wars: The Old Republic.

“We had to come up with a voice for him,” Kane says. “So we ended up basically doing Yoda but then I changed it slightly, and the thing we did to make it completely different is that he doesn’t speak in ‘Yodese,’ he doesn’t flop his words.”

As time went by, Kane became entrusted with more major roles, such as filling in for Anthony Daniels as C-3PO for some games. “It’s his voice,” Kane insists. “I’m just caretaking it occasionally when he doesn’t want to do the job or isn’t available.”

In contrast, Kane has pretty much inherited Yoda from Frank Oz, who originated the part in the Star Wars feature films but hasn’t performed it since Episode III. Those are not small shoes to fill. Oz, who began his career as a puppeteer with Jim Henson’s Muppets, has created and performed the voices for some of the most treasured characters in our culture, including Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster, Grover, and Bert, and The Muppet Show’s Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, and Animal, among many others. Oz’s Yoda captured the world’s imagination since his first appearance in The Empire Strikes Back, could any actor even come close to that standard?

YODA THE ICON!

Kane admits that even though he had George Lucas’ full confidence, the magnitude of the character can be a little intimidating.

“I look at it not just as a cool gig, which it is,” he said, “but it is such an honor to be entrusted with something that iconic, with a voice that’s known to the world. James Arnold Taylor, who is [the voice of] Obi-Wan, is now Fred Flintstone, and something we talk about is how honored we are to be caretaking these characters and their voices. It’s not something we created, so even though it may become ours, it’s on loan. I may be Yoda for another couple years or another 20 years, it’s up to George, but for as long as it lasts, I’m just trying to do it the justice that it warrants and hope everyone’s happy with it.”

So far, so good. Kane not only continues to play Yoda, but is expanding his Star Wars repertoire with still more characters. In Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Kane also voices Admiral Wullf Yularen and provides the opening narration at the start of each episode.

Still, there is one Star Wars character Kane has said he could never play. “I would love to do Darth Vader, but he’s so hard to do,” the actor admits. ‘There is a quality to James Earl Jones’ voice that is just impossible to duplicate. My Vader is OK for a line or two, but it’s not going to fly for any length of time.”

YODA IS NUMBER ONE!

No worries, since there’s no shortage of work for Tom Kane, both inside and out of the Star Wars universe. “I like Professor Utonium,” he says of his Powerpuff Girls alter ego. “He’s one of the favorite characters that I’ve done because he’s a dad and I’m a dad, so I got to put a bit of myself into that role. I think cartoons are always going to be nearest and dearest to my heart, because they’re fun to do, and they mean something to my kids.”

Still, Kane makes it clear that, “Yoda has to be number one. Anytime it’s a character who was important in the films, that would just add a little extra weight to me emotionally, because as soon as I hear the words and hear the voice—even if it’s me doing it—it brings back the joy at seeing the movies.”

Perhaps one day, some voice-over actor of the future will be taking over the role of Professor Utonium, or Darwin, or even Yoda—and when that day comes, we will all be wondering and hoping: Can this guy really do justice to the voice mastery of the one and only Tom Kane?
