The production of DAMN YANKEES playing at the John W. Engeman Theater in Northport (LI), New York is a solid one. There are fine performances, inventive staging, colorful costumes and a jaunty score. However something very magical takes place half way through the second act: it is at this point that Broadway veteran André De Shields, who plays Mr. Applegate, sits in a chair, crosses his legs and launches into the song 'Those Were The Good Old Days'. It is the moment when the show is elevated into something extremely grand and memorable.

Combine a dash of Hitchcockian mystery with pinch of Monty Python comedy and you get Off-Broadway's The 39 Steps. The show pulls a bit from all the genres including suspense, romance, and action, blending them all together in this impressive adaptation. Most impressive of all is the cast of four actors who, against all odds, breathlessly and hilariously reenact each of the characters, locations, and famous scenes in Hitchcock's 1935 film thriller. These miraculous four are John Behlmann (as Richard Hannay,) Cameron Folmar (as Man #2,) Jamie Jackson (as Man #1,) and Kate MacCluggage (as Annabella Schmidt/Pamela/Margaret.)

Today, in honor of the DVD release of Rob Marshall's film version of the 1982 Tony-winning Best Musical NINE, Maury Yeston was gracious and generous enough to grant me a few hours in which I could ask him intimate questions about his life, career and the future of theatre itself. Not one to mince words, Yeston is a veritable font of knowledge and it became clear during the interview that he may be as gifted and talented in his educational and mentorship skills as he is as a two-time Tony-winning composer and lyricist. His stage musicals include two Tony-winning Best Musicals, NINE and TITANIC, as well as: IN THE BEGINNING, GRAND HOTEL, PHANTOM, and the forthcoming DEATH TAKES A HOLIDAY, as well as a full-length ballet of TOM SAWYER premiering later this year. From the handwritten letter sent by Katharine Hepburn to Frederico Fellini after seeing the workshop of NINE thirty years ago to this very day when NINE hits DVD, we will take a look at this magnanimous maestro's starry career in this inaugural InDepth InterView. Enjoy!
