by Matt Tamanini
- Feb 15, 2016
To millions of fans around the world, Nathan Lee Graham is known for playing a man very comfortable in the fabulous clothes; whether that is as Wardrobe Supervisor Peter, opposite Lisa Kudrow in the first season of THE COMEBACK; as Reese Witherspoon's fashion mentor Frederick Montana in SWEET HOME ALABAMA; or as designer Jacobim Mugatu's latte-fetching assistant Todd in the ZOOLANDER films. While Graham's real life does not involve serving at the pleasure of a demented, homicidal fashion designer he does lead an existence filled with fashion and excitement.
BWW Review: THE WILD PARTY Reminds Us That No Party Lasts Forever
by Frank Benge
- Nov 23, 2015
THE WILD PARTY is a musical with a book by Michael John LaChiusa and George C. Wolfe and music and lyrics by LaChiusa. Based on the 1928 Joseph Moncure March poem of the same name, the show is about the masks that people wear culturally and the removal of those masks over the course of a party. The 2000 Broadway production was originally presented as a series of vaudeville sketches, with signs at the beginning and the end that announced the next scene with a show card propped on an easel at the side of the stage. In this UT Department of Theatre and Dance production, that device has been abandoned. The piece, in this incarnation, uses a vaudeville straw hat act to bookend the production at open and close. The remainder of the show, for the most part, is the actual party and I found the device to be most effective putting more heart into the piece than the original concept did.
