Why Must the Show Go On? by ENY Pdf

Everyone has had a buddy they could not forget. Neither time, nor death, nor distance can diminish some friendships, some connections. Ted Norman was already a middle aged man and ENY was in his twenties when they met. ENY was a "roadie" for a fairly well-known rock band, while Norman was a concert promoter for some of the great female divas of years, now pretty much, gone by. WHY MUST THE SHOW GO ON? written by ENY is an entertainingly, theatrical semi-historical memoir from quite literally the wings of the backstage, studio and sound recording booths, world tours and rehearsals that makes Ted Norman's audience a witness to the stark realities behind the headlines. It asks the burning question from his point of view and this book of memories as written by ENY, his close friend and confidant answers it as only a show business insider of long standing can possibly do. The time sequences in this memoir may be cloudy from time-worn memory, but it is all the way Norman remembered it as closely and accurately as possible.

The Show Must Go On by Douglas Snauffer Pdf

A powerful, behind-the-scenes look at some of America’s all-time favorite television programs during their darkest hours, this study examines how various hit series have absorbed the death of a lead actor during production. Although each television program eventually resumed production, the lead actor’s death in each case had a profound impact on the surviving cast and crew and the future of the show itself. Individual chapters explore the events surrounding the deaths of Freddie Prinze (Chico and the Man), John Ritter (8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter), Redd Foxx (The Royal Family), Nicholas Colasanto (Cheers), Phil Hartman (NewsRadio), and many others. Their stories are told through first-hand accounts by those who knew them best, including many of the most talented actors, producers, writers, and directors in television over the past forty years.

Lulu the Broadway Mouse by Jenna Gavigan Pdf

Ratatouille meets Broadway in this charming new middle grade novel about a little mouse with big dreams. Lulu is a little girl with a very big dream: she wants to be on Broadway. She wants it more than anything in the world. As it happens, she lives in Broadway's Shubert Theatre; so achieving her dream shouldn't be too tricky, right? Wrong. Because the thing about Lulu? She's a little girl mouse. When a human girl named Jayne joins the cast of the show at the Shubert as an understudy, Lulu becomes Jayne's guide through the world of her theatre and its wonderfully kooky cast and crew. Together, Jayne and Lulu learn that sometimes dreams turn out differently than we imagined; sometimes they come with terms and conditions (aka the company mean girl, Amanda). But sometimes, just when we've given up all hope, bigger and better dreams than we'd ever thought could come true, do.

Can't Slow Down by Michaelangelo Matos Pdf

A Rolling Stone-Kirkus Best Music Book of 2020 The definitive account of pop music in the mid-eighties, from Prince and Madonna to the underground hip-hop, indie rock, and club scenes Everybody knows the hits of 1984 - pop music's greatest year. From "Thriller" to "Purple Rain," "Hello" to "Against All Odds," "What's Love Got to Do with It" to "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go," these iconic songs continue to dominate advertising, karaoke nights, and the soundtracks for film classics (Boogie Nights) and TV hits (Stranger Things). But the story of that thrilling, turbulent time, an era when Top 40 radio was both the leading edge of popular culture and a moral battleground, has never been told with the full detail it deserves - until now. Can't Slow Down is the definitive portrait of the exploding world of mid-eighties pop and the time it defined, from Cold War anxiety to the home-computer revolution. Big acts like Michael Jackson (Thriller), Prince (Purple Rain), Madonna (Like a Virgin), Bruce Springsteen (Born in the U.S.A.), and George Michael (Wham!'s Make It Big) rubbed shoulders with the stars of the fermenting scenes of hip-hop, indie rock, and club music. Rigorously researched, mapping the entire terrain of American pop, with crucial side trips to the UK and Jamaica, from the biz to the stars to the upstarts and beyond, Can't Slow Down is a vivid journey to the very moment when pop was remaking itself, and the culture at large - one hit at a time.

The Show Must Go On! Popular Song in Britain During the First World War by John Mullen Pdf

Using a collection of over one thousand popular songs from the war years, as well as around 150 soldiers’ songs, John Mullen provides a fascinating insight into the world of popular entertainment during the First World War. Mullen considers the position of songs of this time within the history of popular music, and the needs, tastes and experiences of working-class audiences who loved this music. To do this, he dispels some of the nostalgic, rose-tinted myths about music hall. At a time when recording companies and record sales were marginal, the book shows the centrality of the live show and of the sale of sheet music to the economy of the entertainment industry. Mullen assesses the popularity and significance of the different genres of musical entertainment which were common in the war years and the previous decades, including music hall, revue, pantomime, musical comedy, blackface minstrelsy, army entertainment and amateur entertainment in prisoner of war camps. He also considers non-commercial songs, such as hymns, folk songs and soldiers’ songs and weaves them into a subtle and nuanced approach to the nature of popular song, the ways in which audiences related to the music and the effects of the competing pressures of commerce, propaganda, patriotism, social attitudes and the progress of the war.

The Comedian Vs Cancer by Daniel Stolfi Pdf

In March of 2008, a tumour the size of a grapefruit was found resting on twenty-five-year-old actor and comedian Daniel Stolfi's heart. The diagnosis: stage III acute non-Hodgkin's T-lymphoblastic lymphoma, an aggressive form of cancer that would require equally aggressive chemotherapy treatment over the next two years of his life. Funny, right? In this engagingly witty, raw, inspirational, heartfelt and hilarious memoir, Stolfi recounts his unique experience of battling through two years of treatment while finding humour, hope and love in places he never could have imagined. Stolfi takes the reader on a roller-coaster ride of emotions, delving into relationships, family, career and the challenges of navigating the healthcare system at the ripe old age of twenty-five. He reveals who he was before the Big C, what led him to his diagnosis and how he got through it all with the support of his family, friends and his desire to get on stage and make people laugh again. In The Comedian vs Cancer, Stolfi shows us that determination, humour and love can get you through any of the adversities life may throw your way.
