BWW Blog: Kathryn Mowat Murphy - I'm an Everything Dancer

'I'm an everything dancer'. I sat on the floor of the dance studio and listened to a ballet girl tell me to my face that she, if she chose to, could go out and land herself a Broadway show, as "she is an everything dancer. " I told her to go out and do it, because it's that simple. One day you just wake up and say, "I think I will be a Broadway dancer. To say my blood boiled would be an understatement. Now I am not saying this girl wouldn't do it, she definitely has talent, but to say such a flippant comment directly to someone who has had a Broadway show, is not only arrogant, it is delusional.

InDepth InterView Exclusive: Cameron Mackintosh Talks LES MISERABLES Onstage & Onscreen, Plus PHANTOM, OLIVER!, MISS SAIGON, BARNUM & More

Today we are talking to the king of the modern musical and the most successful theatrical producer in history - the man behind the original productions of countless iconic musicals, among them: LES MISERABLES, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, CATS, MISS SAIGON, STARLIGHT EXPRESS and MARY POPPINS - the one and only Cameron Mackintosh. Looking back at many of his most remarkable musicals to date and also some of his lesser-known success d'estime projects - such as THE FIX - Mackintosh reveals his dedication and passion for the performing arts and discusses many aspects of his legendary shows and displays the characteristic charm and insight that has gotten him to his enviable position over his forty years producing for Broadway, the West End and around the world. Most importantly, Mackintosh and I analyze the mega-successful feature film adaptation of LES MISERABLES, directed by Tom Hooper, and Mackintosh relates many fascinating insights as to the musical's original genesis and the journey of the film from page to stage to screen - such as working with original composer/lyricist team Claude-Michel Schoenberg, Alain Boublil and Herbert Kretzmer on creating new musical material explicitly for the movie, as well as the audition and casting process for the central characters. Looking ahead, Mackintosh shares thoughts on potential MISS SAIGON and OLIVER feature film adaptations in the future and gamely speculates on casting for each, while also giving us the scoop on a new stage production of BARNUM he is producing, set to star Christopher Fitzgerald, and the exciting enhancements being made to the well-regarded musical for this new revised and reconceived production. All of that, Mackintosh's thoughts on the enduring legacy of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA and the recent Royal Albert Hall 25th Anniversary Celebration and Broadway anniversary, as well as comments on the new touring productions of LES MISERABLES and PHANTOM coming later this year and next year, as well as the major 2014 LES MISERABLES and MISS SAIGON revivals set for the main-stage of the West End and Broadway - and much, much more!
