"CRAZY WORLD," SONGS OF LESLIE BRICUSSE RETURNS IN A NEW TWO-ACT
VERSION
THE 2002 MAC AWARD-WINNING
REVUE OF THE YEAR AT DON'T TELL MAMA
Multiple
MAC Award nominee and Bistro Award winner James Beaman teams up again
with powerhouse vocalist Goldie Dver and MAC and Bistro Award winning
Musical Director/Arranger David Maiocco in a full-length version of
the theatrical cabaret revue, "Crazy World," celebrating the songs
of Oscar and Grammy-winning composer and lyricist Leslie Bricusse.
"Crazy World" opens on Thursday, September 5 at 8:00 pm at DON'T TELL
MAMA (343 West 46th Street, NYC - 212-757-0788 - http://www.donttellmama.com/)
and plays Thursdays at 8:00 pm on September 12th, 19th & 26th and
Sundays at 8:00 pm, September 8th & 15th. The show is 90 minutes long,
including 10 minute intermission. There is a $15.00 cover charge plus
two drink minimum.
The MAC Award winner for
Revue of the Year 2002, "Crazy World" is conceived and directed by
James Beaman. Inspired by the Bricusse lyric, "Each day's a brand
new life," Beaman, Dver and Maiocco take the audience through an imaginary
day, from dawn through morning and night to the following dawn, weaving
a rich tapestry using famous and lesser-known gems from the Bricusse
songbook. "Crazy World" draws on over 30 songs from Bricusse and his
collaborators, Anthony Newley, Henry Mancini, Frank Wildhorn and others,
including such hits as "You and I," Talk to the Animals," "Candy Man,"
and "Pure Imagination." The expanded two-act version of the show incorporates
all new material, including an hilarious send-up of Bricusse's songs
for the Bond films "Goldfinger" and "You Only Live Twice."
Leslie Bricusse is a double
Oscar and Grammy Award winner, and one of only four Englishmen to
be inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame in New York. His stage
musicals include "Stop the World -I Want to Get Off," "Victor/Victoria,"
and "Jekyll and Hyde" and his film scores include "Willy Wonka and
the Chocolate Factory," "Dr. Doolittle," "Scrooge," and "Goodbye,
Mr. Chips."
