Notes on

RUTHLESS! THE MUSICAL

By Tom Hatten

Musicals about musicals can be great fun: Kiss Me, Kate instantly comes to mind; 42nd Street and its goofy takeoff Dames At Sea another; Babes In Arms and Gypsy – and dare I add tonight’s MTG offering, another? I dare.

A genuine Off-Broadway surprise, Ruthless! The Musical began its 342 performances in 1992 and received 5 Drama Desk nominations, one for outstanding Off-Broadway musical, 2 for its lyricist and one (a win) for its director Joel Paley, and 2 for its lead actresses Laura Bell Bundy (then 8 years old) and Donna English, who played her mother, and both have racked up impressive theatrical credits ever since. Mr. Paley’s composer Marvin Laird is perhaps best known to LA theatregoers for his many collaborations and cabaret appearances with the late Billy Barnes. Both loved spoofing shows and individual performers with special material, and Ruthless!’s libretto certainly does just that. And I like to think that on opening night, March 13, 1992 at the Players Theatre there may have been quite a rustling of programs during the show’s first ten minutes – “Are we in the right theatre?” or “Have we wandered into a revival of The Bad Seed?”. Until, of course, everybody on stage opens her mouth to sing Paley’s marvelous lyrics and the fun begins. Maxwell Anderson’s The Bad Seed from the Broadway season of 1953 (and the movie two years later) was certainly no laughing matter: and when I saw Ruthless! during that New York run I couldn’t help but wonder what Mr. Anderson, who died in 1959, would have thought of it. Was he known for having a sense of humor? After all, The Bad Seed was a big hit and his final production in a long career that included drama ranging from What Price Glory and Winterset to Mary of Scotland, Key Largo and Cry, the Beloved Country.

Well, we’ll never know. But I hope he enjoyed limericks. And that he would have enjoyed this one:

Way out on some heavenly internet Maxwell Anderson and Harold Pinter met.

Cried Harold, “Agreed!

Great fun, your Bad Seed!”

But . . . . .

Not . . . . .

Enough . . . . .

Pauses . . . . . in Winterset.

New Roads School is a diverse and cohesive educational community, reflective of the kaleidoscope of cultures, ethnicities, beliefs, and orientations that make our larger Los Angeles community so vibrant. We believe that a meaningful 21st century education must include a diverse cohort as well as integration with the larger community in order to prepare students for conscientious participatory lives and not merely to ready them for college.

A MUSICAL IN 25 HOURS?

We are all here in this theatre for the same reason. We love musicals – and a chance for you to see, and for us to perform in a musical that’s hardly ever done – well, that’s a special treat for all of us.

The Musical Theatre Guild was founded over fifteen years ago by a dedicated group of professional musical artists who were interested in exploring and preserving works from the musical theatre repertoire that were either forgotten, neglected or unfairly dismissed.

Working under a special Actors’ Equity Concert Staged Reading code, this concert format requires us to focus on the script and the score, eliminate unnecessary production values, and for our busy actor members, streamline the majority of the rehearsal process into one focused long weekend.

The cast meets once or twice prior to the weekend for basic musical rehearsal. On Friday and Saturday all staging takes place with a complete run through scheduled for Sunday. On Monday afternoon we enter the theatre and add the technical elements and orchestra and, voila – it’s opening night! Our actors have compared the experience with being shot out of a cannon. Not that any of us have actually ever done that feat – but you get the idea.

This format enables us to take the risk to present works that other theatres would not dream to schedule, and feature some of the finest talent in Southern California on our stage.

So sit back and enjoy as we experience this rare musical TOGETHER.
