From Detroit Chorister to Broadway Producer

Jersey Boys’ Michael David M

ichael David is a Grosse Pointe native and—as president of Dodger Theatricals—one of Broadway’s most prolific producers. His forty productions have won over fifty Tony Awards and include Jersey Boys, The Secret Garden, Into the Woods, Titanic, Tommy, and revivals of The Music Man, The King and I, 42nd Street and Guys and Dolls. David sat down with Jersey Boys co-writer Rick Elice as one of the show’s two national touring companies prepares to return to Detroit and blow the roof off the Fisher Theatre December 12 through January 6. Michael David: I grew up in Grosse Pointe Park on Gray- Michael David ton Road, and was there until I went away to school and got married. My brother did the same. My sisters, after being overseas, have returned now to my old stamping grounds, and yes, it’s remained pretty much the way it was. A series of five little villages along Lake St. Clair, quaint and lovely, two high schools, a bastion of Americana, I guess. That’s my hometown. Rick Elice: And did you listen to the radio a lot when you were growing up? MD: All the time. Started out as a boy with ‘The Green Hornet,’ and that was replaced pretty quickly by hockey. I was a huge Red Wing fan, and when I was little, I wasn’t allowed to listen too late, so I’d have the dial set with masking tape so in the dark I could still find the station. And I listened to doowop a lot, and then early rock. “Long, tall, lean and lanky Larry Dean, the skinniest man you ever seen.” For Detroit rock’n’roll in the sixties, Larry Dean and Bill Williams were the source of all things cool. RE: You have any memories of The Four Seasons from that time? MD: Like a lot of people, I remember the songs. But most of them, I had no idea they were by The Four Seasons. The style of the

songs kept changing, the instruments they used on the records, the arrangements of the music. Eventually I was old enough to buy the 45s, and that’s when I saw the labels: The Four Seasons, then Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. But my music experience growing up was dominated by the fact that I was a boy chorister since I was eight, and sang in the Christ Church Grosse Pointe Choir right through high school to the time I left for college. We rehearsed four times a week, couldn’t play Little League; a serious commitment that. And we sang. A lot. I think that my affection for what I do for a living absolutely grew from my experience in the Episcopal Church since I was a child. RE: In what way? MD: The theatricality, the pageantry, the drama of the language, the music—the music, more than anything else. It moves me. It’s catharsis for me. RE: Did you go to the theater when you were a kid? MD: As boy choristers, we were taken to the symphony now and then. But my exposure to theater began with playing the lead in Davy Crockett, and I saw Guys and Dolls in Traverse City; that was pretty much it. But when I was in high school, my uncle knew a wonderful and colorful guy named Max Silk, who ran the Bagley Bar in downtown Detroit, which was next to Local 38 of the Stagehands Union. When I was fifteen, they managed to get me an apprenticeship with the Local. I showed up for work and suddenly I was Florence Henderson’s dresser on The Oldsmobile Show’s version of “Wonderful Town.” And then some other job on some other show, and some other Rick Elice

show, often times at the Fisher. So my summers were spent mostly ogling these gorgeous girls backstage and doing the stuff that the adult stagehands didn’t want to do. And it was great. I even had a little money in my pocket that didn’t jingle when I walked. RE: And here we are, getting ready for a run at the Fisher Theatre all these years later. MD: It’s Detroit’s great theater. Transformed from one of those magnificent old movie palaces into a place for live shows. RE: I’m sure folks’ll be glad to hear that the auto industry is represented in Jersey Boys, too. One of my favorites moments in the show has to do with three Cadillacs and the girl group, The Angels. MD: Absolutely. RE: How has the road changed since you started producing? MD: Years ago, it was a very different business, and the shows were presented in a very different, much simpler way. The quality of everything is so much better because the audience expects and deserves the best we can do. When people come to the Fisher to see Jersey Boys, they will have the full Broadway experience. Same number of actors, same number of musicians, and the latest technology—all of which enables us to really deliver—by any Broadway standard. RE: Well, thanks for having the courage and class to do that. MD: How could we not? Especially when Frankie Valli and the guys have the courage to say “Okay, put our story up there onstage, warts and all.” RE: So… you, me and Marshall (Brickman, co-writer of Jersey Boys and Oscar-winning screenwriter of Annie Hall)—dinner after the show at Angelina’s? MD: On Broadway Street. RE: I think Frankie booked the table. We’ll raise a glass of Chianti in honor of your coming home to Detroit. Or as they say in Jersey… MD: Salud! RE: Fuggedaboudit. Jersey Boys plays at the Fisher Theatre Dec. 12–Jan. 6. Tickets are on sale now at the Fisher Theatre box office, ticketmaster.com and 800-982-2787.
