WELCOME
From Seattle Theatre Group, a non-profit arts organization
We can’t imagine a better way to greet the new year than with this exciting return
engagement of THE BOOK OF MORMON! We welcome this musical to The Paramount
for the third time, in what will no doubt be another enjoyable run.
As we move into 2016 we want to note that this season offers a very special
opportunity for us to present renowned composer and drummer Stewart Copeland
and the Seattle Rock Orchestra in a live performance as part of our Trader Joe’s® Silent
Movie Monday series.
In 1925, a fledgling film studio called Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer released a sprawling,
epic, adaptation of Lew Wallace’s biblical novel, Ben Hur: A Tale of the Christ. The
film’s production was beset with accidents and logistical nightmares, but Ben Hur was
destined to become a classic, and has since gone down in cinematic history as one of
the greatest silent films ever made.
In 2010, Stewart Copeland, famed drummer for the rock band The Police, was asked
to compose a score for an arena spectacle celebrating Wallace’s original book. The
spectacle played throughout Europe, including Munich, Rome, and at London’s O2
Arena, and in 2014 Copeland debuted a full-length score for the film at the Virginia Arts
Festival. Copeland’s score, designed
for an 84-minute edit of the film, will be brought to
life at Seattle’s Paramount Theatre on February 29, 2016.
Perhaps best known for his rock star past with The Police, Copeland has since enjoyed
a rich career composing for numerous films and television shows. In preparation for the
Ben Hur soundtrack, he travelled to Istanbul to research the music of the region, and his
score incorporates both traditional Middle Eastern elements and the dynamic, modern,
percussive style for which he is known.
With over 150,000 actors and extras involved in shooting the film, Ben Hur was one of
the most ambitious films of its time, and with a final budget of $3.9 million dollars, it
remains the most expensive silent movie ever made. It boasts one of Hollywood’s most
iconic action sequences, the famous Roman chariot race, which gripped audiences with
its unprecedented intensity and was recreated nearly shot-for-shot in the 1959 remake of
the same name. The chariot scene’s influence on filmmakers has endured over the years,
and even left its mark on the Star Wars franchise, influencing director George Lucas’
staging of the pod race scene in Episode I: The Phantom Menace, released in 1999.
While the film initially fared poorly at the box office, among audiences and film critics
a near-consensus was soon reached that director Fred Niblo had delivered something
uniquely wonderful. The influential film magazine Photoplay wrote of Ben Hur in 1925:
“The screen has yet to reveal anything more exquisitely moving than the scenes
at
Bethlehem, the blazing of the star in the heavens, the shepherds and the Wise Men
watching...this is a truly great picture.” Eventually, the film would gross over
ten
million dollars, and was selected for preservation by the Library of Congress in 1997 in
recognition of its lasting cultural significance.
“I wrote this humongous piece for orchestra and drum-set in support of this even
bigger, humungous, film,” Copeland told the BBC in 2014, “the percussion section—
they break a sweat [while performing Ben Hur]…I want to rock the house.”
STG and Trader Joe’s® are proud to host Stewart Copeland and the Seattle Rock
Orchestra at the Paramount Theatre for this special cinematic event. Come experience
this larger-than-life movie set to a larger-than-life score, and see for yourself why Ben
Hur remains such a beloved classic.

What Really Happened…
Rick Elice Talks
About The
Jersey Boys
Phenomenon
Playing The Paramount
March 8–13
Forget about show-stopping finales.
In Jersey Boys, the smash-hit musical about the rise and fall of The Four
Seasons, the pinnacle of excitement
comes about 45 minutes into the first
act. That’s when back-to-back presentations of three of the group’s biggest hits
— “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and
“Walk Like a Man” — are greeted with
enough thunderous applause to start a
downpour.
“At that moment the a udience has
forgotten they’re watching four actors and they root for these four guys
as though they really are The Four
Seasons in their youth,” says Rick Elice,
one of the show’s book writers. “The
response is so sincere and enthusiastic
and over the top that it’s impossible to
believe anything else.”
It’s also somewhat surprising. After
all, The Four Seasons may have been
one of the most successful groups of
the 1960s, but history hasn’t institutionalized them the way it has the
Beatles or other bands popular with
that era’s counterculture. But Elice
thinks that’s one reason why fans are so
hungry for their music and the incredible story of four Italian-American
kids from the wrong side of the New
Jersey tracks who could just as easily
have ended up in prison as on the pop
charts.
“In many ways the band was a reflection of the people who were buying
their records,” Elice notes. “They didn’t
have long hair or accents. There was no
glamour quotient to them at all, which
is why they were never written about.
For fans of the band, the show is an
edification of who they are, because the
cultural establishment ignored them
too. These weren’t the people who went
20 SEATTLE THEATRE GROUP
(l to r) Keith Hines, Aaron De Jesus, Drew Seeley and Matthew Dailey Photo: Jeremy Daniel
down to Washington and marched
against the war; these were the guys
who shipped out and went to Vietnam.
And the respect that the band is getting
all these years later somehow feels like
respect for them too.”
In fact, before working on Jersey
Boys, The Four Seasons song that most
resonated with Elice (pronounced
“Ellis”) was “Can’t Take My Eyes Off
You,” because characters in The Deer
Hunter sing it just before they go to
Vietnam. But he and his Oscar-winning
co-author, screenwriter Marshall
Brickman (Annie Hall), probably were
more familiar with Vivaldi’s Four
Seasons than pop music’s when they
began work on the show, a first musical for them both. Des McAnuff, on the
other hand, the Tony-winning director
behind The Who’s Tommy, was a huge
fan of the group (the first album he ever
bought was a Four Seasons one), and
he helped to shape the show from its
early stages.
While other musicals have tried to
capitalize on a group’s catalog of songs
by integrating them into the plot, the
writers agreed with McAnuff that their
staging should be presentational, as if
The Four Seasons were performing the
songs to an audience, not singing them
from one character to another.
“In the first act the songs are presented pretty much chronologically, as they
took place within the life of the band,”
explains Elice, who prefers to describe
Jersey Boys as a “play with music” instead of employing the much maligned
“jukebox musical” moniker. “In the
second act the music is more cunningly chosen to reflect either directly
or by contrast what the band is going
through at the point where things start
to fall apart.” As members leave the
group one by one, it’s to a medley of
“Stay,” “Let’s Hang On (To What We’ve
Got),” “Opus 17 (Don’t You Worry
’Bout Me)” and “Bye, Bye, Baby.”
Jersey Boys was born when Elice,
for many years the creative director of
Broadway advertising agency Serino
Coyne, was contacted by a former client who had the option on The Four
Seasons catalog. Elice had written a
couple of plays and always wanted to
work with Brickman, who was a poker
buddy. But as they interviewed the
E X PE R I E N C E O U R
Lauren Tartaglia and Aaron De Jesus.

three surviving Seasons, they faced
a predicament over how to tell the
group’s “true” story when they couldn’t
even figure out what it was.
Elice and Brickman met with Bob
Gaudio and Frankie Valli, the two
Seasons who, way back when, formed a
business partnership with a handshake
that still stands today. “They started to
describe what it was like to be bluecollar kids, first-generation Americans,
Roman Catholic, high school dropouts
who were flirting with careers in crime
in an environment where people had
two pictures on the living room wall:
the Pope and Frank Sinatra,” Elice recounts. “It was the archetypal American
rags-to-riches story: You start with
nothing, achieve success and then try
to navigate your life through the waters
of success.”
But when they contacted Tommy
DeVito, the initial driving force behind
the group until gambling debts put
him on the outs with the mob, “He
said, ‘Don’t listen to them, I’ll tell you
what really happened,’” Elice recalls.
That’s when they decided to structure
the show the Rashomon way, by letting
each character tell his own account.
As Tommy says at the beginning of the
show, “You ask four guys, you get four
different versions.”
Each Season narrates a portion of the
story, including bass player Nick Massi,
who died in 2000 and left the group
at the height of its popularity without
much explanation. Brickman and
Elice drew their portrait of him from
the memories of the other survivors.
“There was a great mystery to Nick,”
Elice says. “Today you would call him
obsessive-compulsive with sort of a
sideline in sexual addiction. One day
we realized the correlative for Nick
would be to think of him as the Ringo
of the band. In any group there’s going
to be someone who’s off to the side.”
That gave them the chance to focus on
the Tommy-Frankie-Bob dynamic that
first propels The Four Seasons to the top
of the charts and eventually breaks them
apart. “This was really a love triangle —
without any sexual component,” Elice
observes. “There was Tommy, who discovered Frankie when he was a teenager
and held the trio group of Tommy, Nick
and Frankie together when they were a
cover band. Then Bob, this new, young
talent came on the scene, and Frankie
turned away from Tommy and turned
toward Bob because Frankie and Bob
were simpatico.”
Valli and Gaudio saw in each other
what the group needed to succeed:
Gaudio, already a songwriting prodigy
when he joined the group, wrote or
co-wrote many of the group’s signature
songs, which accentuated Valli’s vast
vocal range and commanding falsetto.
DeVito, meanwhile, piled up a huge
debt. But by then the Seasons were
more than just a group: They’d become
a family, and that put their loyalty to the
test. “Tommy gave Frankie and Bob an
opportunity to do what families always
do,” Elice says. “No matter what kind of
betrayals occur you always stand up for
another person in the family because
the ties that bind are so strong.” DeVito
may also have been dealing with his
own family issues. As The Four Seasons
climbed the charts, his brother, who
once had been part of the band, was
behind bars.
And for Elice, that’s the essence of the
show —family. “That was a very powerful hook,” he says. “We all know what
it’s like to want acceptance, to want respect and to try to find a sense of home
with people that are not just the family
we’re born into but the family that we
choose.”

AileyCamp Comes to Seattle!
AileyCampers participate in a personal development class at AileyCamp New York.

AileyCamp changes lives…
One young AileyCamp Berkeley participant, who is now a junior staff
member, described in her own words:
When I was 12 and arrived at AileyCamp, I was angry, drinking,
having a hard time in school, and not living with my Mom because
we were always fighting. I didn’t understand why I was feeling and
acting that way until I experienced the personal development class
at AileyCamp. For the first time in my life, I was around adults who
believed in my potential. The personal development classes helped
me understand why I was confused and angry. AileyCamp literally
changed my life.
We don’t know exactly how many young people may be going
through the same thing that this young woman experienced, but we
are committed to assuring that at least 60 kids, ages 11–14 from our
community are given a chance to succeed, like she did.
