Terrence McNally's new play Golden Age, which just had its successful debut at Philadelphia Theatre Company, opens March 12th in the Kennedy Centerrsquo;s Family Theatre with new rewrites and a new director (Walter Bobbie, replacing Austin Pendleton, who is directing Bus Stop now at Olney Theatre Center). [caption id="attachment_13620" align="alignleft" width="220" caption="(l-r) Marc Kudish and Jeffrey Carlson (Photo: Mark Garvin)"][/caption] Actor Marc Kudisch takes us on the journey of this new play - from workshops to rewrites to the debut in Philadelphia,nbsp; to more rewrites with a new director, and finally to the Kennedy Center. The play takes us to opening night, 1835,nbsp; for Vincenzo Bellini's new opera, I Puritani, at the Paris Opera, with the four greatest singers in Europe - Giovanni Battista Rubini, the tenor, Giulia Grisi, the soprano, Luigi La Blache, the bass, and Antonio Tamburini, the baritone (played by Marc). We are in the wings with the performers as the opera is performed offstage. ldquo;I know itrsquo;s a piece that takes place in 1835, but it is not a period piece!", Marc tells us. "It is such a contemporary play. The conversations are the same conversations we as performers and composers have every day, and they are so recognizable, I know the audiences are going to laugh hysterically. Itrsquo;s the same stuff we ask today...nbsp; lsquo;What am I doing here?' 'Whatnbsp; the hell is my life about? ' 'I like it. Does that mean that they will like it?' 'Does it matter if they like it'? He (Bellini) is asking the ultimate question ndash; lsquo;What makes me happy? What makes anyone happy at the end of the day?rsquo; To me, this is Terrence's most personal play. All the cards are on the table." Marc is a huge fan of the work of Terrence McNally. ldquo;I believe he is the last in a line of playwrights like Lanford Wilson, Tennessee Williams, and even (David) Mamet in his own wayhellip; With Terrence, you know itrsquo;s Terrence... Therersquo;s a music. Therersquo;s a lyricism. Therersquo;s an esotericism to it. Therersquo;s a Terrence-ismrdquo;. Why should DC theatergoers come to see Golden Age? ldquo;Because itrsquo;s a new play by Terrence McNally!nbsp; And you should come see all three plays, Golden Age, and his earlier The Lisbon Traviata, and Master Class, on which, of course, Terrence is doing re-writes!rdquo; For more information about the Kennedy Center production, and to purchase tickets, click here. Joel also got to talk with Marc about the status of the revival of The Unsinkable Molly Brown and his next show, Ricky Ian Gordonrsquo;s production of Sycamore Trees at Signature Theatre, beginning May 18th. We're saving that podcast for another day. Related: View the Golden Age study guide from the Philadelphia Theatre Companyrsquo;s production of Golden Age here.

Michael opens his trunk of many voices and out comesnbsp; Bill Clinton (ldquo;a southern Elmer Fuddrdquo;), Al Gore (ldquo;a gay kindergarten teacherrdquo;), Liza Minnelli, Carol Channing, Sammy Davis, Jr., Robert Goulet, and Harvey Fierstein. With special guest: NEWSical director Mark Waldrop. Joel has lost count of how many times he has seen Michael in Forbidden Broadway and When Pigs Fly. And now, before the 8 PM performance on Saturday, January 30th of NEWSical the Musical, Joel finally got his chance to schmooze with Michael, and discuss his career from growing up in Atlanta to re-working and updating his one-man show, Almost Live From The Betty Ford Clinic, to appearing now in NEWSical The Musical, the revue which skewers celebrities and politicians and "all the news that is fit to spoof." Early into the podcast, NEWSical director Mark Waldrop, slipped in to Michaelrsquo;s dressing room, and jumped into the conversation. Hersquo;s been working with NEWSical writer Rick Crom on Bonnie and Clyde (Hunter Foster wrote the book)hellip; "Itrsquo;s in gestationhellip; This is a very funny Bonnie and Clyde.rdquo; Joel and Michael discussed the musical When Pigs Fly, which played during the height of the AIDS crisis, and his admiration for DC director/writer/producer Larry Kaye and his new musical The Tapioca Miracle (Michael was in the New York workshop). As yoursquo;ll hear in this interview, no one does impressions like Michael West, and there's no show in town as freshly topical yet singable as NEWSical the Musical. ldquo;Itrsquo;s bipartisan, everyone gets laughed atrdquo;. NEWSical the Musical is playing at The 47th Street Theatre, 304 West 47th Street, in New York City.
