Next up at the Fisher Theatre:
2 Tony Award BEST MUSICAL winners!
P
laying the Fisher Theatre back-to-back this season are two Tony Award Best Musical productions: Kinky Boots, with six 2013 Tonys in all, arrives January 15 and is followed on February 3 by Once, with no less than eight 2012 Tony Awards in tow. In different ways, an A-list of collaborators for each of the shows celebrate the joy that music, relationships and the magic of our stories bring to our lives. In Kinky Boots, Harvey Fierstein, Cindy Lauper and Jerry Mitchell created a musical inspired by true events. Charlie Price, the owner of a failing English shoe factory teams up with Lola, a drag artist in need of some sturdy stilettos, to bring business back to the factory. Playwright Harvey Fierstein says that the reason he wanted to work on this show was because of the intimate story at the center; the bromance between Charlie and Lola. “The real love story here is these two gentlemen who become friends,” says Fierstein. “And I thought it was a good opportunity to do this realistically.” It becomes a story with a theme of self-acceptance that not only affects the lead characters, but all of the workers in the factory: “It’s the human stories; that’s what theatre’s for.” Lyricist Cindy Lauper agrees, “The fact that the guy’s (Lola) a drag queen is inconsequential… he’s so different from this factory bloke; that they can come together, overcome their differences, outside and in, for the greater good.” Together, Charlie, Lola and the entire factory celebrate the success of Kinky Boots with music and a message that will truly raise you up. The same concept drives the heart of the musical Once. “I think what’s very moving about the piece is how sometimes we meet people who we don’t necessarily stay with forever, but they give us the resources to move on to the next part of our life,” says

John Tiffany, Once director. “There is something very truthful in that. People have said to me, ‘When I was sitting in the theatre watching Once, I felt like I was watching it with everyone I’ve ever loved, whether or not they’re still in my life.’” The touching, lyrical musical tells the story of two down-on-their-luck musicians, an angst-ridden Dublin street singer/songwriter who works as a vacuum repairman, and a Czech immigrant who sells flowers in order to support herself and her family. Girl (as she is known) initiates a friendship with Guy (as he is known), and in the course of a week they make music together, fall in love and part, but not before changing each other’s lives. The 2007 Academy Award-winning movie’s stars, Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, also wrote much of the musical score, including their beautiful ballad, “Falling Slowly.” The music from the movie initially drew John Tiffany to the story. “I’d never heard music like that,” he states. “Not just the music itself, but the fact that it’s a story about creating music, a story about the healing power of music. Immediately I thought, ‘We’re going to be able to see actors create that music in front of us.’ That’s really exciting. Actors have played instruments onstage for years, but not always in a show about making music.” • Kinky Boots is at the Fisher Theatre Jan. 15–25. • Once is at the Fisher Feb. 3–15.

AMAZING BIPOLAR DISCOVERIES
See how far we’ve come. The first signs of a bipolar episode are usually apparent in voice. We are developing and testing the smartphone app “PRIORI” to predict episodes based on the acoustics in the voice.
Our focus on the individual emphasizes nutrition, physical health and social relationships in considering patterns of bipolar disorder.
Our induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) program has created the first nerve cell model of bipolar using cells derived from patients.
We are tracking health and illness patterns in over 1,000 participants to determine the driving biological, clinical, and environmental elements of bipolar disorder over the lifetime.
