CUE CHRISTMAS
There are at least nine variations on Charles Dickens' classic, A Christmas Carol. Whether
you prefer yours without song and dance, orchestrated to the roof tops, staged as a ballet,
penned with a campy edge or regionalized - there is a production for you.
A Christmas Carol by Alan Menken and Lynn Ahrens has become a delightful tradition in
New York City's Madison Square Garden.
Susan Stroman began the project as choreographer working with her late husband, Mike
Ockrent, as director. Now in its eighth year, Tim Curry will play Scrooge in the production which
opens November 27.
PATRICK STEWART as SCROOGE
 |
Patrick Stewart is a one-man show in his version of A Christmas Carol.
The versatile actor will play Scrooge, Fezziwig, Tiny Tim, the Three Ghosts and every other
Yuletide Dickensian character in this productions slated for both Los Angeles and New
York.
Stewart reprises his solo tour-de-force performance of Dickens' classic on Dec. 15 and 16 at the
Harriet and Charles Luckman Fine Arts Complex in Los Angeles. Using just a few props and a wealth of
virtuosity and dramatic nuance, Stewart conjures up the full world of the beloved Dickens classic,
returning the story to its source: Dickens' own beautifully chosen words. The previous West
Coast engagements played to sold out houses and unanimous critical acclaim.
Stewart then returns to Broadway, his fourth time bringing the show to The Great White Way.
The actor first mounted it in New York in 1991, and returned in 1992, 1994, and later
staged
it in Los Angeles and London. Among his awards for this one-man show: Drama Desk Award for
Best Solo Performance (1992) and Lawrence Olivier Award for Best Entertainment for Solo
Performance (1994). He was also nominated for an Olivier for Best Actor in 1994.
The production will play the
Marquis Theatre for eight performances only, Dec. 24-30.
All the proceeds will go to charity, with the Dec. 28 show's monies going to the September 11th
Campaign of The Actors' Fund of America, and the box office of each of the other seven
performances divided between two organizations, the Coalition for the Homeless and Food for
Survival, Inc.
Hal Landon, Jr. has Scrooge down pat. He's played the part for 22 years and once again is in the
misery
role for the South Coast Repertory Theatre company's production in Costa Mesa, CA.
John-David Keller directs the show, adapted from the classic Charles Dickens' Christmas tale by
Jerry Patch. The show opened last night and runs through Dec. 14.
The Royal New Zealand Ballet company presents A Christmas Carol as a ballet.
Choreographer Russell Kerr, composer Philip Norman and costume and set designer Kristian
Fredrikson have joined forces to bring this festive Charles Dickens tale to life.
Using classical dance, drama and humor the three spirits of Christmas Past, Christmas Present
and
Christmas Future to tell the tale of Scrooge's transformation.
The Royal New Zealand Ballet will deck the halls with boughs of holly on its 10-city tour
which lasts through December 13. Regional orchestras will accompany the production in
Wellington, Christchurch, Auckland and Dunedin.
The Royal New Zealand Ballet was formed in 1953 by Danish Royal Ballet Principal Dancer Poul
Gnatt. The Company's early days of touring embodied the New Zealand pioneering spirit. Performing
night in night out, Company members unloaded and repacked the set, rigged the lights and ironed the costumes,
with local community members providing accommodation.
The spirit of those days survives, and the support of the New Zealand public remains. The Royal
New Zealand Ballet is seen as an intrinsic part of the country's national heritage, and has the largest
following of all New Zealand performing arts companies.

Tennessee

If you prefer your Christmas with camp try Christmas with the Crawfords
Joan is back - white gloves and all. Come enjoy a warm, friendly holiday season with Joan
Crawford and her darling kids. Okay, she's a bitch and she's abusive to her children, but it's
Christmas and she's trying to revive her career - in front of the American public.
The
comedy takes place
during a holiday broadcast led by actress Joan Crawford and gossip goddess Hedda
Hopper in the former's
home.
It's Christmas Eve, 1944. Joan Crawford and her children, Christina and Christopher, are preparing for the
now legendary live radio broadcast from their home in glamorous Los Angeles neighborhood of Brentwood. Joan, once the
queen of MGM, has recently been "released from her contract." With her friend Hedda Hopper as her host, and
her terrified children in tow, she plans to make the holiday broadcast her stepping stone back into the limelight. Joan
has big plans for a new career at Warner Brothers, even if there is the humiliation of having to take a screen test for
Mildred Pierce. Joan is happy and hopeful as she makes sure everything is clean and ready for the broadcast and
the arrival of her special guest Jack Warner. From the very beginning, however, when Joan discovers a spot on
the floor, things go wrong. As Hopper attempts to interview Crawford there is an onslaught of
Hollywood icons, including the Andrews Sisters, Kate Hepburn, Judy Garland, Gloria
Swanson, Mae West, Carmen Miranda and Ethel Merman, who have mistakenly arrived at
Joan's
home while on their way next door to Gary Cooper's party.
In case who are wondering - who in the world was Hedda Hopper? She was one of the
most feared and respected people in Hollywood. The fact that she
left school after 8th grade didn't keep Hedda Hopper (whose real name was Elda Furry) from a
career as a journalist, but she was noted for the atrocious grammar that often showed up in her
columns. She began her career as a chorus girl on Broadway, where
she met and married DeWolf Hopper, a stage matinee idol who was famous for reciting Casey at
the Bat. She starred in 120 films over the ensuing 23 years, but is best remembered for her
Hollywood gossip, peddled initially through her radio show, then in a gossip column, then later in
documentaries in the 1940s entitled Hedda Hopper's Hollywood.
Known for her gossipy comments - such as - At one time I thought he wanted to be an actor. He
had certain qualifications, including no money and a total lack of responsibility -
and celebrity interviews, Hedda Hopper
starred on her own radio program beginning November 6, 1928 on CBS as a 15 minute,
three times a week show. The sponsor was Sunkist Fruits.
In her day, Hedda was one of the most powerful people in Holly wood. One bad
word from her and you didn't work, so one had to lick her boots if you wanted an
acting job in old Hollywood. Politically, she made the John Birch Society look
progressive and counted such figures as Barry Goldwater, Joe McCarthy,
Howard Hughes, Ronald Reagan, J. Edgar Hoover, and William Randolf Hearst as
close personal friends. Hedda would never get on an airplane unless Howard
Hughes had the craft personally inspected. Volume I of her FBI file was two inches
thick.
Put Hedda in the same room with Joan Crawford at Christmas time and the prospects are
interesting.
Richard Winchester, Mark Sargent and Wayne Buidens created the script for Christmas with
the Crawfords Donna Drake
directs
and choreographs with musical
direction by Joe Collins.
Legendary drag performer Joey Arias stars as Crawford for
the second year in a row. He calls the show "a 21st Century Christmas Carol. Joan
Crawford and family are the nuclear family for a new generation."
Also in the cast are Connie Champagne, Trauma Flintstone, Max Grenyo, Chris March,
Matthew Martin, Mark Sargent, Jason Scott, Linda Bulgo, and Brant Kaiwi.
Christmas with the Crawfords was first produced in San Francisco in 1992, and was
revived every year there for six years. It had its New York premiere, in this production, last fall at
the Grove
Street Playhouse. Currently at The Chelsea Playhouse, NYC through Jan. 5.
Christmas with the Crawfords also opened November 23 at Theatre Noir in Portland, Oregon with
performances through December 22.

ELVIS PRESLEY'S BLUE
CHRISTMAS
Graceland may have laid off 15 percent of its work force due to a drastic drop in tourism
and a gray economy, which they anticipate to be long term, but as of Friday night
the place was aglow.
Philanthropist Jennings Osborne and his wife, Mitzi, threw a red switch across the
street from Elvis Presley's Whitehaven mansion illuminating more than 2 million lights
covering Graceland and its grounds.
It all started with Elvis. He loved Christmas and all of the decorations that go with it.
Outside on the front
lawn Elvis first had a large Santa, sleigh and reindeer with the message "Merry Christmas
to All, Elvis" suspended above it. In the mid-sixties, Elvis switched to a life-size Nativity scene, along
with lighted aluminum trees along the front of the house, and the winding driveway outlined in
hundreds of blue lights, a set-up he used each year for the rest of his life.
Also in the 1960's, Elvis started switching out the blue draperies in the front rooms of the house to a holiday shade of red. Today, the Graceland
staff authentically continues Elvis' Christmas decorating traditions each year - including both versions of his
front lawn displays.
Enter the born with nothing Jennings Osborne, whose own bootstrap pulling enabled him
to live out the American dream. Among other thing, such as a really good bar-b-que, Jennings
loves Christmas lights.
Almost to the extreme, at least that's the way some of his Arkansas neighbors felt about
it.
LISA MARIE PRESLEY between MITZI with
JENNINGS OSBORNE
 |
The Osbornes sparked nationwide attention in 1993 when the Arkansas Supreme Court
ordered them to shut down their enormous Christmas light display at their Little Rock home. At that time,
their estate was adorned with an estimated 3 million lights and could be seen from the air as far
as 80 miles away. Sightseers numbering in the thousands flocked to the scene, drawing ire from
neighbors and sparking the State Supreme Court decision. Jennings, who was determined to plead his case to the Supreme Court, finally lost his battle when Justice Clarence Thomas ruled
the case was not unique enough to be heard.
While the famed Christmas house no longer lights up the sky during the
holiday season, the Osbornes continue to make their mark in other ways. In addition to sponsoring Christmas-light displays in 32 cities in Arkansas and Disney World,
Osborne has lit up Graceland.
An American flag and an eagle with wings that move have been added to Graceland's
annual
display of Christmas lights.
Osborne donated the 100,000 lights used to create the 24-by-60-foot flag complete
with an eagle on top.
He also donated the lights for the other decorations in the plaza and in the mansion's back pasture.
That includes 120-foot-tall, solid blue Christmas tree in the plaza which is topped by a 12-foot tall dancing Elvis.
The lights will remain in place through observances of what would have been Elvis's 67th birthday on Jan. 8.
FOOD FIGHT
ENJOY THOSE CRANBERRIES Long before the Pilgrims arrived in 1620 Native Americans mixed
deer meat and mashed cranberries to
make pemmican -- a convenience food that kept for long periods of time.
They also believed that cranberries had medicinal value, and were used as an ingredient in
poultices to draw poison from arrow wounds. The
Delaware Indians in New Jersey used the cranberry as a symbol of peace.
If you strung all the cranberries produced in North America last year, they would stretch
from Boston to Los
Angeles more than 565 times.
During World War II, American troops required about one million pounds of dehydrated
cranberries a year.
Americans have enjoyed a nationwide cranberry glut which is about to end as a result of
federal production limits and large government purchases of dried cranberries. There are 440
cranberries in one pound, 4,400 cranberries in one gallon of juice and 44,000
cranberries in a 100-pound barrel. Whether dried or liquid, prices are going
up.
Prices to growers
were as high as $80 per 100-pound barrel in 1996, but dropped to $20 by 1999.
The 2000 cranberry harvest began with a surplus of 4.6 million barrels, about 80 percent
of the annual harvest. Large cranberry growers operate under a U.S.
Department of Agriculture federal marketing order for cranberries. Those growers agreed to limit their
harvest. In exchange the USDA provided grower subsidies of $5 a barrel, up to 16,000
barrels a grower. What that all means is be grateful for the price you are paying this
year for cranberries, because next year the consumer won't be so thankful.
PETA that group that defends
animals by many
times physically harming human beings or destroying their possessions, got into a holiday
mood by shipping
tofu jerky samples to the 5,000-member crew of the Norfolk-based aircraft carrier USS
Theodore Roosevelt, deployed in the war against terrorism.
CALORIE COUNT
the average person consumed 4,000 calories on Thanksgiving.
That's twice as many as consumed in a normal day.
The U.S. Government Nutritionists estimates that Americans sucked in 1.25 Trillion
calories on
Thanksgiving.
And, Christmas is just around the corner.
OTHER PEOPLE'S
MONEY
THE GUTHRIE THEATER
in
Minneapolis
has hired Susan Baird Trapnell, executive director of the Seattle Arts Commission and
former
managing
director of A Contemporary Theatre in Seattle, to be its new managing director.
Trapnell will become the first female managing director in the theater's 38-year history.
She replaces David
Hawkanson, who resigned in July. Trapnell assumes her post on Feb. 1.
The Guthrie has an annual budget of $15 million. The theater is planning a new $100
million riverfront
facility with three stages. The enlarged space would allow the Guthrie to accommodate
more contemporary plays and more collaborations.
PORTLAND STAGE COMPANY the city's largest theater
company, has been awarded $1.35 million by the Fred Meyer Memorial Trust. It's the
largest grant in the theater's 14-year history. The money will be distributed over three years,
beginning with a $350,000 outright gift in the current fiscal year.
The company is required to raise an additional $5.65 million in the next three years. If it
does so, does the Meyer trust will contribute $600,000 in 2002-03 and $400,000 in 2003-04.
The Children's Theatre of Rochester, Minnesota has honored Lea Thompson.
Rochester-born Thompson recently starred as Sally Bowles in an eight-month tour of
Cabaret.
LEA THOMPSON
 |
For four years
she starred as the title cartoonist in the NBC-TV series Caroline in the City and
played Michael J. Fox's mother
in the three Back to the Future movies. She grew up wanting to be a dancer.
As a 10-year-old pupil of Loyce Houlton at the Minnesota Dance Theatre, she wasn't
getting any good dance parts.
Then Children's Theatre founder John Clark Donahue sought to cast her as a little girl in
Madeline the Gypsy.
That year she also played a mouse in The Nutcracker, directed by Houlton.
"There was a fun rivalry between MDT and CTC at that time," Thompson told her
Minnesota fans. "Mrs. Houlton didn't want to loan me out, but she owed them money for some scenic
design. That's why she let me do it."
Thompson, 40, was honored by the place that inspired her dreams. At its annual ball the
Children's Theatre launched a
scholarship in her name for 8-to 18-year-old students. "I've managed to maintain a really versatile career -- doing theater, film, TV, drama and
comedy," she said. "I directly
attribute that versatility to training I got at the Children's Theatre and the Minnesota
Dance Theatre."
CHICAGO welcome the tan
one -
that would be George Hamilton to the Broadway cast.
Hamilton is playing crooning
lawyer Billy Flynn. Hamilton's three-month engagement marks his Broadway debut after
years of film, Television, and even the Las Vegas stage. The always
impeccably dressed
Hamilton once starred in Vegas in what has been determined to be one of the worst shows
to have ever played
Sin City. That was decades ago and the delightful, suave Hamilton is a good fit for the part of
lawyer Billy Flynn, who manages to get killers acquitted using his charm, bribes and good
looks. He event mouths off in song delivering All I Care About Is
Love and Razzle Dazzle.
Chicago, the hit revival of the 1975 Bob Fosse-John Kander-Fred Ebb musical continues its fifth year on Broadway and is the longest-running revival in Broadway
history.
INTO THE WOODS
starring
Tony award winner Leslie Uggams as the witch opens December 5 at the Arena Theatre in
Houston as part of their Theater Under The Stars production. The Tony-winning score is by Stephen Sondheim and Tony-winning book was penned by
James Lapine.
The production is directed is Glenn Casale. Into the Woods combines several
familiar fairy tales
with unexpected results, revealing the complex realities that sometimes lie beyond the
"happy ending."
FIDDLER ON THE ROOF
starring Theodore Bikel as Tevye through Dec. 23 at the Fisher Theatre, Detroit.
AND THEN THERE'S BEA
starring the Tony and Emmy-winning Bea Arthur continues the cross country tour of her
one
woman show - plus accompanist, friend and on stage foil - Billy Goldenberg. They are
suppose to bring the show to New York for a six week run in the Spring.
In the meantime, the 75-year old Arthur appears on stage barefoot, because during one
performance she walked
into the pit rather than into the wings and broke her foot, which now sports a half-cast on
the ankle. While
many folks have recently developed a fear of flying, Arthur is claiming this demanding
cross country tour
has resulted in her overcoming her fear of being in that big silver bird.

WHO'S WHERE
B.B. KING tonight wraps up
a three day gig at the Stardust
Hotel in Las Vegas.
King, 76-years-old, kicks off his holiday season shows with a cut from his new Christmas
album A Christmas Celebration of Hope, the profits from which
are
donated to the City of Hope.
The 76-year-old has been on a cross country tour than can have him performing in five
different cities
during a seven day week, averaging 275 concerts per year King says he doesn't let age, or
terrorists slow him down.
He remembers when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. He joined
the Army in 1943, when he was 18. He wanted to help win the war. But there was an issue -
King's black skin.
"We were a segregated society at that time. Even the German
prisoners of war who picked cotton near us picked from 9:00 a.m. to
4:00 p.m. We picked from sun-up to sun-down."
Music was King's ticket out of that lifestyle. At the age of 21, he headed to
Memphis. His father, while not real encouraging, understood his
son wanted more.
"I needed more," King says now. "Today, a lot of young men and
women are good at sports. They've found today they can get
wealthy that way. I thought the same thing about music. I wanted
to help my dad buy a house. I wanted new clothes. I wanted a car.
I had seen those things and I wanted them."
King is on stage with his beloved guitar, Lucille. Terrorism has changed a lot of things,
including
Lucille's case. Following the attacks of September 11 King had to have a special travel case
made for
Lucille. He sought the extra
protection for the instrument that has almost become a part of him. "We're all being more
careful, we
have to
be," he says. "We were traveling by bus on Sept. 11 and the plane that went down in
Pennsylvania
crashed
about 30 miles from us."
Constantly on the road since the terrorists attacks King has noticed some changes. "People
are
more
together these days. I think there are fewer people around now who hurt others just to
prove a
point. We're
learning to understand people more and understand more about them."
King performs November 28 in the Civic Arts Plaza in Thousand Oaks, CA. On
November 29 he
can be enjoyed at the Sun Theatre in Anaheim, CA and on November 30 he and Lucille
will be
center stage at the Pechanga Entertainment Center in Temecula, CA

in Bellevue, Nebraska's Wal-Mart Supercenter signing copies of his new book Born to Fly,
which detail the collision and the detention of Osborn and his crew for 11 days. Suddenly customers had other
requests. In addition to autographing 600 copies of his tomb he obliged by putting his John Hancock on:
paper and plastic airplanes, posters of vintage military aircraft, school assignment books, pictures from air
shows, ball caps and - a brassiere. A 70-year old man brought in the garment saying s it belonged to his sister
who wanted it autographed.
Osborn was in Nebraska to spend Thanksgiving with his mother and other relatives in Norfolk
