BWW Interview: Ben Vereen of STEPPIN' OUT at The Grand 1894 Opera House
by Bryan-Keyth Wilson - Sep 23, 2016
There's not much one can say when you look at the resume of Ben Vereen. I have to admit I thought the email to interview Mr. Vereen was a hoax or a vile trick someone was playing on me. Now the reason I say this is because he is one of my idols and reasons I studied musical theatre in college and left to go to NYC to work professionally. We are familiar with his work with Bob Fosse as the Leading Player in PIPPIN and as Judas in JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR but Mr. Vereen still continues to give us the ole razzle dazzle on the stage and on the screen. He's starred in 9 Broadway shows, has received the coveted Antionette Perry Award (The Tony), a Drama Desk Award, and a Prism Award. Nominated for an NAACP Image Award, starred in 30 plus movies and television shows, and has a huge crossover career. Ben Vereen hit the scene in Martha Graham's PRODIGAL SON in 1965 and he's been working ever since. I had the esteemed pleasure to sit and talk about his illustrious career and the current projects he's working on currently.

Fotos! Let's Do the Timewrap - THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW in Gelsenkirchen
by Iris Moebius - Feb 22, 2016
Um sich die langen Winterabende zu vertreiben, komponiert der arbeitslose Schauspieler Richard O'Brien 1973 ein abgedrehtes Travestie-Spektakel als Hommage an die Gruselschocker der 1930er Jahre. THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW schlagt ein wie eine Bombe, ebenso die 1975 folgende Filmversion. Zum Kult wird das Stuck jedoch erst, als amerikanische Studenten wahrend mitternachtlicher Kinovorfuhrungen plotzlich eigene Rituale dazu erfinden. Schrage Kostumierungen, Reis, Toastbrot und Wasserpistolen sind seither ein unverzichtbarer Bestandteil des interaktiven Gruselspaßes. Und das selbstverstandlich auch am Musiktheater im Review, wo THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW am Samstag Premiere feierte! Wir haben hier die Fotos von der Produktion in Gelsenkirchen:
