5 Interesting Facts About Jay Leno
Y

ou ended your days laughing at his jokes and watching his hysterical interviews for years, now Jay Leno is coming to Belk Theater this May. Leno caught the national spotlight when he was awarded the coveted hosting position on NBC’s “The Tonight Show,” replacing the legendary late-night host Johnny Carson.
Leno owns approximately 286 vehicles (169 automobiles and 117 motorcycles), making him quite the collector. They’re housed in three separate warehouses, each the size of a football field. His collection includes a sedan and a roadster that were owned by Howard Hughes and one of nine remaining 1963 Chrysler Turbine Jay Leno cars.
Get to know Leno a little better with these five fun facts:
1 2
He was born James Douglas Muir Leno on April 28, 1950, in New Rochelle, NY. He is of Scottish and Italian descent.
He was awarded the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor from the Kennedy Center this year, one of the highest accolades for any comedian. No stranger to awards, Leno has won three Emmys and a People’s Choice Award, and he has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
THE FUNX TO OPEN FOR LENO The Funx is an internationally recognized soulful supergroup dedicated to bringing more original music to the a cappella world. The group features talent from some of your favorite TV competition shows. The Funx will get you grooving and is excited to have just released its second EP “Louder!”

His fifth grade teacher wrote on a report card, “If Jay spent as much time studying as he does trying to be a comedian, he'd be a big star.”
The title of his 1996 autobiography is “Leading With My Chin.” Leno has a prominent jaw, also described as mandibular prognathism. He knows surgery could fix it but doesn’t want to suffer through the long healing time with his jaw wired shut. The Funx

Behind the Designs for Kinky Boots
I
design process, one plus one doesn’t equal two, it equals four or five.” Barnes concurs, adding that the director did a lot of research on the real shoe factory in Northampton, where Kinky Boots takes place: “I have to tip my hat to Jerry Mitchell – he’s really good about doing his homework.” Mitchell provided Rockwell and Barnes photos and stories, which they incorporated in their designs. For a show as joyous as Kinky Boots, it’s surprising that its primary setting is a factory, but Rockwell wanted to create a realistic world for the storytelling. “I was inspired by the kind of romance of late 18th/19th century factories, and ours is an abstractive collage,” says Rockwell. He created upper windows which are tinted in slight colors, to “create a place that can be very optimistic when it’s back-lit or very atmospheric when it’s saturated in darker colors.” Jerry Mitchell also came up with the idea of using conveyor belts, which are used as part of the workday setting, and turning them into treadmills, which the cast dances on for the raucous first act finale, “Everybody Say Yeah.” Rockwell says it “took eight or nine months of R&D to get right,” adding that it’s his favorite moment in the show. “It is magical, because it enables Jerry and the cast to take something that you bought into … as a conveyor belt for making shoes, and turning it into this unbelievable production number.” Barnes’ biggest challenge turned out to be those thigh-high boots with six inch stiletto heels. “What’s really funny about our experience with Kinky Boots is that my team, and the cobblers who made the boots, we had the exact same story as in the musical,” explains Barnes. “Everything
n a show called Kinky Boots, “you’ve gotta get the boots right,” says Gregg Barnes, costume and footwear designer for the Tony Award-winning musical. The show, based on a real story and independent film about a failing English shoe factory that turned its fortunes around by niche-marketing sturdy boots for drag artists, has become a sold-out Broadway phenomenon. With a book by Harvey Fierstein and a Tony-winning score by pop icon Cyndi Lauper, Kinky Boots relies heavily on its visual designs, both fabulous and gritty; sets by David Rockwell and costumes by Barnes. Both creators credit Jerry Mitchell, the director and Tony-winning choreographer of the show, for pushing them to come up with creative solutions to difficult tasks; in Rockwell’s case, creating a realistic factory setting, which could also become a nightclub in London and a runway in Milan, and in Barnes’ case, making everyday clothing for factory workers, fantastical frocks for drag performers and, of course, those boots. “This is my seventh collaboration with Jerry,” says Rockwell. “We just get together and play and respect each other’s opinions and listen. I try to come back with what he asked for, plus some sort of surprise. I think in a good

the original production,” jokes Barnes. “I don’t know if that’s always true, but you learn so much.” Barnes is taking the opportunity to redesign and improve many of the outfits. And Rockwell has worked to maintain the real quality of the set while making it lighter. That way it’s easier to assemble, take down and fit into the six trucks that will accompany the cast and crew on their cross-country journey. Certain elements have changed, but Rockwell says “none of those are things that an audience member looking at New York and looking at the tour will discern.” Both men say they enjoy the enthusiasm audiences have shown for Kinky Boots. “You know, it’s amazing,” says Barnes. “I feel the same way. You can feel it walking into that theater. I think the audience comes so primed to have this joyous experience, and it always rewards that.”
they talk about, in terms of reinforcing the heel and all of that stuff, we had the same learning curve!” And those boots need to be durable to support the 6-foot dancers doing elaborate routines. Says Barnes: “We’re asking them to do slam splits and dancing and quick changes, being carted up and down stairs in baskets. And we have to make them look as if they’re brand new every night, yet survive eight shows a week.” Barnes adds, after lots of experimentation and broken heels, they ultimately came up with designs that are so reliable, they’ve barely had to replace any boots in the musical’s Broadway run of over a year. As for this touring production, Rockwell and Barnes promise it will be very much the same show as on Broadway. “We always say that the tour looks better than

Spot the Differences
B
ack by popular demand, the Olivier Award nominated Potted Potter – The Unauthorized Harry Experience – A Parody by Dan and Jeff is written and performed by former BBC hosts Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner. The play takes on the ultimate challenge of condensing, or “potting,” all seven Harry Potter books into 70 madcap minutes, aided only by multiple costume changes, brilliant songs, ridiculous props and a generous helping of Hogwarts magic. The show also invites audiences to engage with a real life game of Quidditch, but according to Clarkson and Turner’s unique set of rules. Whether you camped outside a bookstore for three days awaiting the release of the "Deathly Hallows" or you don’t know the difference between a horcrux and a Hufflepuff, the comedy, magic and mayhem of Potted Potter makes for an entertaining and hilarious visit to the theater. The fast-paced show, which has made audiences ages 6 to Dumbledore (who is very old indeed) roar with laughter all over the world, is perfect for the entire family! Think you know every detail about Harry Potter? Maybe you will be able to spot the differences in this fun picture challenge
above. See if you can identify the four things that are different in these two photos. Don’t miss this hilarious show when it comes to McGlohon Theater at Spirit Square April 14-19.
ANSWERS: 1: Missing wand. 2: Missing shirt collar of guy on right, 3:Extra letters in "Spooky," 4: Spider is on the left of the coffin instead of right.
