HEY MARSEILLESSATURDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2016 AT 7:30 P.M.RIALTO THEATERAPPROXIMATE RUN TIME: 90 MINUTES

As a musical breeding ground, Seattle is mistrustful of eager strivers. Still suffering from a grunge hangover, the city would rather embrace its underachievers than hitch its wagon to the obviously ambitious. So for the past eight years, Hey Marseilles has played by the rules, earned their indie cred the usual way: by touring relentlessly and releasing a pair of beloved albums. Even as they succeeded at their modest goals, the members —singer Matt Bishop, guitarist Nick Ward, keyboardist Philip Kobernik, violist Sam Anderson, violinist Jacob Anderson—felt restless. Now with their third album, they

shake off the past and take a big, bold step. In all its panoramic grandeur, Hey Marseilles leans into a new, bright future. In its polished production and its narrative arc, the album is a leap forward. Two years ago, Hey Marseilles met

Anthony Kilhoffer, an A-list, LA-based producer and engineer who’s won Grammys for his work with Kanye West

and John Legend. Kilhoffer typically traffics in the realm of Top-40 pop and hip-hop, among platinum-status megastars like Jay Z and R. Kelly. Once they were introduced, Kilhoffer saw something in Hey Marseilles he couldn’t resist: the radical adventure of an uncharted road. For their part, Hey Marseilles recognized an unprecedented opportunity to push their usual creative in new directions. Up for the challenge, they went all-in.In 2014, the group made a couple trips

to LA, prewriting with Kilhoffer and a small cadre of songwriters, absorbing their almost scientific advice on how to hone more accessible, “pop” elements of their sound. Then, Kilhoffer spent a couple weeks in Seattle, taking the helm at the mixing board while the band completed recording. They found that the producer was—how to put this delicately?—eccentric in his approach. His MO, as paraphrased by the band: Find the song’s catchiest part. Get there faster. Do it more.

What you hear on Hey Marseilles is a band that has the guts to change course deep into their career, backed by the self-awareness to understand the exact place they were meant to go. It’s self-titled because, at three albums in, the band is announcing itself the world as if for the first time. All of the members have individual songwriting credits here—a first. The entire album, music and lyrics, is about adventurousness, finding faith in a new path.

This film shares a (then rare) positive representation of the controversial subject of interracial marriage, which was illegal in 17 states until June 1967, six months before the film was released. Two weeks after Spencer Tracy filmed his final scene (and two days after his death), the Supreme Court laws were struck down in Loving v. Virginia. The movie’s Oscar-nominated score was composed by Frank De Vol. This film is notable for being the ninth

and final on-screen pairing of Tracy and Hepburn. Hepburn chose never to see the completed film because the memories of Tracy were too painful. The film was released six months after his death.

MarchFourth is an internationally-acclaimed, genre-breaking FORCE in the world of live performance—a sonic explosion delivered by 15 musicians, (plus dancers and acrobats!) who travel the country, year-round, taking audience members from all walks of life on a joy-inducing, booty-shaking, soul-stirring journey that defies categorization. Word on the street: You have to see it to believe it!Combining jazz, funk, rock, samba,

Afro-beat, Gypsy brass and Big Band, with a visual kaleidoscope of stilt walkers, acrobats and Vaudeville-style artists, MarchFourth whips the crowd into a celebratory frenzy with high-energy compositions, colorful costumes, hilarious stage shenanigans, and irresistible magnetism. This is

not a band that simply puts on a show. MarchFourth delivers a multi-faceted, indelible experience that leaves audiences flabbergasted and breathless!“How do I describe this group? A sweaty, beautiful, chaotic, organized, hyper-realized, super-tight, fever-dream of a monster that defies categorization and pumps out so much beat and rhythm that the venue should soon call in a structural engineer because the roof was nearly blown clean off!” -Yale Cohn, Little Village Magazine“You could call MarchFourth a Vaudeville circus, or a sexy carnivalesque sideshow of animalistic proportions where all sense of decorum is beaten into submission. I call it a panoply for the senses, a celebratory feast of friends, a visually stunning performance that sears itself into your brain.” -Mike Greenblatt, The Aquarian

STOMP, a unique combination of percussion, movement and visual comedy, was created in Brighton, UK, in 1991. It was the result of a ten-year collaboration between creators, Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas.They first worked together in

1981, as members of the street band Pookiesnackenburger and the theatre group Cliff Hanger. Together, these groups presented a series of street comedy musicals at the Edinburgh Festival. After two albums, a UK TV series, and extensive Europe touring, Pookiesnackenburger also produced the highly acclaimed “Bins” commercial for Heineken lager.The piece was originally written and

choreographed by Luke as part of the band’s stage show; it proved to be the starting point for STOMP’s climactic dustbin dance. In 1986, Luke and Steve created an

eight-minute ‘percussive movie’ for Bette Midler’s HBO special Mondo Beyondo. Between 1987-1990, Luke staged, as Artistic and Musical Director, four large-scale outdoor events, including “Beat the Clyde”, which involved floating a drum orchestra on a pontoon in the centre of Glasgow; the largest of these events, “The Heineken Hove Lagoon Show”, involved a 120-piece drum orchestra. In 1991, Steve

and Luke created STOMP, previewing at London’s Bloomsbury Theatre and premiering at the Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh, where it became The Guardian’s “Critics’ Choice” and won The Daily Express “Best of the Fringe Award”.Between 1991-1994, the original cast

of STOMP played to capacity audiences around the world. The touring culminated in a sell-out season at London’s Sadler’s Wells Theatre, where STOMP received an Olivier nomination for Best Entertainment and won Best Choreography in a West End Show. An expanded version of STOMP,

involving up to 30 cast members, was originally created for the Brighton Festival, and was subsequently presented in Melbourne, Australia. This production broke all box office records, which had been established by Frank Sinatra in 1972. STOMP began its

run at the Orpheum Theatre in New York in February 1994 and quickly went on to win both an Obie and a Drama Desk Award for Most Unique Theatre Experience. The original cast of STOMP have

recorded music for the Tank Girl movie soundtrack and appeared on the Quincy Jones album, Q’s Jook Joint. A soundtrack recorded by Steve and Luke for the Showtime movie Riot was

released in 1997. STOMP has also been featured in a number of commercials, including for Coca-Cola.STOMP also created the Mr

Frears’ Ears series of short films for Nickelodeon, whilst “Brooms”, a 15-minute short based around the opening routine, was nominated for

an Academy Award. “Brooms” was also selected for screening at Robert Redford’s Sundance Festival and for competition at the Cannes Film Festival. STOMP made a

special appearance at the 1996

Academy Awards, with an original piece involving the live synchronization of classic film clips and onstage action.In 1997, Steve and Luke created and

directed STOMP OUT LOUD, a 45-minute television special for HBO, which combined stage material with new pieces created for TV. It premiered in 1997 and subsequently received four Emmy nominations, for direction, sound mixing, multi-camera editing and art direction. 1998 saw the release of the STOMP OUT LOUD video and DVD. Another unique blend of live action and film footage was created

for the Emmy Awards, in which STOMP effectively performed with Spike Jones!STOMP

performed after midnight on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial at US President Clinton’s millennium celebrations.

During 2000, a Sesame Street special, “Let’s Make Music”, a collaboration between STOMP and the Muppets, was released on TV and video in North America.

An epic science fiction film produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick. The screenplay was partially inspired by Arthur C. Clarke’s short story “The Sentinel”. The film follows a voyage to Jupiter with the intelligent computer H.A.L. 9000 after a discovery of mysterious black monolith affecting human evolution. Film themes include: existentialism, human evolution, technology, artificial intelligence, and extraterrestrial life. It is noted for its scientifically accurate depictions of space flight, pioneering special effects, and ambiguous imagery. It uses sound and minimal dialogue in place of traditional narrative techniques; the soundtrack consists of classical music such as The Blue Danube.2001: A Space Odyssey was filmed

West End at the Vaudeville Theatre, and later that year performed as part of The Royal Variety Show for the second time.2003 saw a new STOMP production

In 2004, New York celebrated 10 years of continuous performances of STOMP at the Orpheum Theatre by renaming 2nd Avenue at 8th Street Stomp Avenue.In 2006, STOMP’s New York

production passed its 5,000th performance mark. Luke and Steve directed a public service announcement for television called “Stomp Out Litter”, which featured the cast ‘sweeping up’ at iconic locations in the five boroughs. In addition, they were commissioned

to create and produce The Lost and Found Orchestra, which takes the ideas behind STOMP to a symphonic level. The LFO subsequently performed at the Sydney Opera House in 2007, the Royal Festival Hall in London in 2008, and the Theater Carré in 2009.STOMP OUT LOUD opened in Las

Vegas at Planet Hollywood Resort in 2007 with an expanded cast and performed inside the new $28 million theatre, specifically created for the production. The West End entered its 6th consecutive year with a move from the Vaudeville to the Ambassadors Theatre, where it still resides.In 2008, STOMP returned to its roots

for a new DVD shoot at the Brighton Dome, bringing together a cast from all over the STOMP world. For the first time, the entire show has been captured in high definition sound and video. Steve and Luke expanded into new areas with the release of their IMAX 3D nature documentary Wild Ocean, with a symphonic mix of percussion and traditional orchestra in the soundtrack. Wild Ocean won two awards at the Giant Screen Cinema Association for Best Sound and Best Original Score at their annual conference held in New York.The Lost and Found Orchestra

reunited in 2010 for a new show, PANDEMONIUM.In 2011 the New York production of

STOMP entered its eighteenth year, trouncing the Orpheum house record set by Little Shop of Horrors. It also entered its tenth year in the West End at the Ambassadors Theatre, whilst at the same time Steve and Luke continued with their 3D film work. 2012 saw the release of The Last Reef

3D, a film about the beauty and the plight of reefs worldwide, which Luke and Steve composed the film’s orchestral soundtrack, recording it at The Old Market Theatre in Brighton & Hove in the UK. They have celebrated the one year anniversary of The Old Market Theatre, which they now run as a full time venue, bringing music, theatre, dance, comedy and visual arts to the UK’s south coast. The largest ever assembly of STOMP performers (40 performers from 12 different countries) were brought together for a specifically choreographed appearance in the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games.STOMP was created with the original

U.K. cast: Luke Cresswell, Nick Dwyer, Sarah Eddy, Theseus Gerard, Fraser Morrison, David Olrod, Carl Smith and Fiona Wilkes.

centuries of Chinese history and folk art. Records of acrobatic acts can be found as early as the Ch’in Dynasty (221 B.C. - 207 B.C.). In fact, the name China is actually derived from the Ch’in Dynasty. According to Fu Qifeng, author of Chinese Acrobatics Through the Ages, acrobatics originated from the people’s daily life, drawing from their experiences in work, war, and sacrificial rites. During the Warring States Period, acrobatics became widespread. It was believed that practicing acrobatics could steal people’s will, increase their physical strength and the accuracy of their movements.During the Han Dynasty (207 B.C. -

220 A.D.), acrobatics flourished, and this wide variety of juggling, tumbling, and magic acts came to be known as the “Hundred Entertainments.” It was at this time, according to historian Fu Qifeng, that Emperor Wu Di of the Han Dynasty presented the first grand acrobatic performance at the Imperial Court. The Emperor Wu Di invited a number of important foreign dignitaries, thus making this performance the first time in Chinese history that acrobatic art was presented for diplomatic purposes. The foreign guests were so impressed by what they saw that they agreed to enter into military and trade alliances with the Han Emperor.In China today, professional acrobatic

troupes have many outlets for displaying their talents. Some appear on Chinese television shows as the broadcast industry in China has expanded to include several television channels featuring diverse programming. Some travel throughout China bringing their own unique costumes, stage props, and acrobatic styles to factories, villages, army units, remote areas, and frontier outposts. Still others have formed joint ventures with Theme Parks as an economically thriving China has fostered the growth of its own family entertainment industry, where they perform seasonally as part of the theme park’s entertainment, much like here in the U.S. As time goes by, it is telling that the Chinese Acrobatic tradition just gets stronger, due to the continued innovation of the artists and the endless enthusiasm from their adoring public.

Eric Burdon has one of the most powerful and distinctive voices in rock and roll.A member of the Rock and Roll Hall of

Fame since 1994, and hailed by Rolling Stone as one of the 100 Greatest Voices of All Time, Burdon’s music has forged new territory while also topping the charts for more than five decades.Highly prolific, Burdon has released

nearly 50 records in those 50 years, as front man of The Animals and WAR and simply as Eric Burdon. Through the changing sounds and genres, what remains constant is his courage as an artist to explore new sounds, diving into new territory with his unrivaled and unique voice. Eric Burdon has shared the stage with legends such as Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Witherspoon, Otis Redding and Bruce Springsteen, and has recently been cited by cutting edge musicians like Patti Smith and Iggy Pop as one of their personal top ten musicians.Eric began his musical journey as a

young man growing up in Newcastle, England. Listening to his idols, Ray Charles and Bo Diddley, he immersed himself in American blues and jazz. As front man and driving force of the British Invasion band The Animals, Burdon helped shape rock and roll’s DNA, and his imposing yet soulful vocals are the driving force of the iconic favorite “House Of The Rising Sun.”

said Troy Powell. “These diverse and powerful new works – along with the eight returning favorites – showcase the strength, grace, and versatility of these gifted young dancers.”In the colorful duet Meika, set to music

by Max Richter and Isaac Albéniz, French choreographer Leila Da Rocha uses dance to counter the unrest caused by barbarism and violence. Building on the body’s natural breathing rhythms, her movement takes on the push-pull of opposing energies to ultimately reach a message of peace.Princess Grace

Award-winning choreographer Jae Man Joo’s Circular is a heartfelt conversation through movement. The Korean-born Joo’s distinctive choreographic style – a blend of classical and contemporary ballet – is showcased in this large ensemble work that captures the full circle of human emotions. The melodic soundscape is by a diverse group of composers including Denisov and Handel. In Sketches of Flames, Bridget L. Moore

fuses flamenco influences with her African-American and contemporary aesthetic to create a rapturous ensemble dance. Set to a series of passionate folk songs and drawing upon the writings of

Federico García Lorca and others, each section of this eight-part work depicts a different facet of the joys and sorrows of love.Stream of Consciousness, by former Ailey

company member Marcus Jarrell Willis, gives physical life to our inner thoughts. Willis weaves six simple gestures into

“the stream,” the tumultuous monologue within each person’s mind. Set to a contemporary reimagining of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons by Max Richter, this work echoes the tension and poignancy of the music’s ever-changing tides.This season, six new dancers – Tara

Bellardini, Khalia Campbell, Yazzmeen Laidler, Jessica Amber Pinkett, Martell Ruffin, and Christopher R. Wilson – join the six returning members – Lloyd A. Boyd III, Gabriel

Hyman, Jacob Lewis, Jacoby Pruitt, Courtney Celeste Spears, and Terri Ayanna Wright. In addition to Powell’s four new commissions, Ailey II’s touring repertory will include Gêmeos by Jamar Roberts, I Am The Road by Kyle “JustSole” Clark, In & Out by Jean Emile, Something Tangible by Ray Mercer, Streams by Alvin Ailey, and Takademe and The Hunt by Robert Battle.

A long string of hits followed, including “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” and the Vietnam-era anthem, “We Gotta Get Out Of This Place.” Pioneering the psychedelic San Francisco sound, Burdon’s classics include “San Franciscan Nights” and “Monterey.”Burdon continued to perform

throughout the years with different iterations of The Animals, while also founding and fronting the funk group War, one of the first multiracial bands, and topped the charts again with his groundbreaking hit single, “Spill The Wine.”In the decades to follow, Burdon

became an accomplished painter and author, and he continues to record and tour now as a solo artist. The year 2012 saw the release of his latest album, ‘Til Your River Runs Dry.

Centering on a military tribunal led by Chief Trial Judge Dan Haywood, before which four German judges and prosecutors (compared to 16 defendants in the

actual Judges’ Trial) stand accused of crimes against humanity for the involvement in the atrocities committed

This film has been selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”.

MANHATTAN TRANSFER & TAKE 6FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 2017 AT 7:30 P.M.PANTAGES THEATERAPPROXIMATE RUN TIME: 90 MINUTES

MANHATTAN TRANSFERCelebrating their 45th anniversary in

2017, The Manhattan Transfer (TMT) continues to set the standard as one of the world’s greatest and most innovative vocal groups. Winners of 10 Grammy Awards, with millions of records sold worldwide, this amazing quartet is building upon the extraordinary legacy created by founder Tim Hauser who organized the four-part harmony group on October 1, 1972, in New York City. Now consisting of Janis Siegel (alto), Alan Paul (tenor), Cheryl Bentyne (soprano), and newcomer Trist Cureless (bass) who replaced Hauser following his passing in October 2014, the group

is proud to extend Hauser’s vision more than four decades later.Defying categorization, TMT became

the first act to win Grammy Awards in both the pop and jazz categories in one year, 1981: Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for “Boy From New York City” (a cover of the 1964 song by The Ad Libs), and Best Jazz Performance Duo or Group for

“Until I Met You (Corner Pocket).”Beginning with their first

performances in the 1970s, the members of the Vocal Hall of Fame have become cornerstones of contemporary music, known for their amazing versatility, incorporating pop, jazz, R&B, rock and

roll, swing, symphonic, and a cappella music. In their 45 years, the group has attained incredible longevity while navigating devastating obstacles. In 1978, a car accident caused original member Laurel Masse to leave the group. She was replaced by Cheryl Bentyne who made her recording debut on the 1979 “Extensions” album, which won two Grammys for their cover of Weather Report’s “Birdland” (with lyrics by Jon Hendricks): Best



EAP 1_3 S template.indd 1 8/10/16 9:27 AM

Jazz Fusion Performance, Vocal or Instrumental; and Siegel won for Best Arrangement for Voices.In 1985, TMT’s “Vocalese” made

history as the single greatest Grammy-nominated album in history in one year with 12 nominations. “Vocalese,” which featured jazz legends Dizzy Gillespie, Ron Carter and the Count Basie Orchestra, changed the perception of TMT from pop singer to jazz artists.

“Vocalese” earned two more Grammys: Best Jazz Vocal Performance, Duo or Group; and Best Vocal Arrangement for Two Or More Voices for “Another Night in Tunisia” (won by Bentyne and Bobby McFerrin).In addition to McFerrin, TMT has also

sung with many more great vocalists, including Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett, Smokey Robinson, Phil Collins, B.B. King, and Frankie Valli of The Four Seasons. As the group looks to record its 30th

album in 2017, the first new CD in eight years, the members are extremely enthusiastic about the future. After 45 years, TMT continues to raise

the bar and set even higher standards.

TAKE 6Take 6 is Claude McKnight, Mark

Kibble, Joel Kibble, Dave Thomas, Alvin Chea and Khristian Dentley. Heralded by Quincy Jones as the

“baddest vocal cats on the planet,” Take 6 is the quintessential a cappella group and model for vocal genius. Six virtuosic voices are united in crystal clear harmony, against a backdrop of syncopated rhythms, innovative arrangements and funky grooves that bubble into an intoxicating brew of gospel, jazz, R&B and pop. With praise from such luminaries as Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Brian Wilson, Ella Fitzgerald and Whitney Houston, Take 6 is recognized as the pre-eminent a cappella group in the world.With the popularity of televised

vocal competitions and the mania over singing-driven, comedy dramas like “Glee” and “Smash,” Take 6 is the original torchbearer. Two major recent events reminded everyone of this as Take 6 triumphed among a gathering of stars, including Celine Dion, Lionel Richie, Justin Timberlake, Stevie Nicks and Ne-Yo. At Walmart’s

"IT IS BEAUTIFUL —SPECTACULARLY

SO…" – THE NEW

YORK TIMES

50th Anniversary celebration, Take 6 captivated the audience with its rendition of the Louis Armstrong hit,

“What A Wonderful World”. Showing the global reach of this phenomenal group, Take 6 closed the show with Ladysmith Black Mambazo to a standing ovation! Two weeks later at the behest of legendary producer Phil Ramone, Take 6 thrilled a sold-out audience at the Songwriters Hall of Fame Awards, performing with and honoring legendary singer-songwriter Ben E. King on his classic “Stand By Me.” As a group that knows no musical bounds, the members then brought the house down with their tribute to folk icon Woody Guthrie with “This Land Is Your Land”.Take 6 has come a long way from

its days at Huntsville, Alabama’s Oakwood College where McKnight formed the group as The Gentleman’s Estate Quartet in 1980. When tenor Kibble heard the group rehearsing in the dorm bathroom, he joined in the harmonies and performed on stage that night. Shortly afterward, they took the name Alliance. Yet, when they signed to Reprise Records/Warner Bros. in 1987, they found there was another group with the same name, so they became Take 6. Says McKnight: “It pretty much was a play on the Take 5 jazz standard and the fact that there are six of us in the group, so it became Take 6.” Their self-titled debut CD won over jazz and pop critics, scored two 1988 Grammy Awards, landed in the Top Ten Billboard Contemporary Jazz and Contemporary Christian Charts, and they’ve never slowed down. Behind Take 6’s successes are based

on faith, friendship, respect and love of music and these qualities are at the heart of the Take 6 phenomenon.

THE SUMMITWith 20 Grammy Awards between

them, The Manhattan Transfer meets Take 6 is one of the most unique and thrilling musical collaborations ever assembled. Together, they have created musical moments on stage – singing and performing nearly a dozen songs together – during this show. You will experience the creativity, excitement and renowned performances that only two phenomenal groups can bring to one stage, in-the-moment.

P A T R O N I N F O R M A T I O NFor safety and consideration of all patrons and performers, we ask that you observe the following guidelines

when attending a performance at the Broadway Center:

THEATER ETIQUETTE

• Performances start promptly at their scheduled time. Please allow plenty of time to park and find your seat.

• Late seating is not guaranteed and is at the discretion of the House Manager.

• If you must leave your seat during the performance, you may not be re-seated until an appropriate break in the performance.

To receive emergency messages, you may leave your name and seat number with the House Manager. PLEASE remember to silence all cell phone, tablet and electronic devices before entering the theater. Please have hearing aides tuned to no higher than 75% of the maximum volume.

ACCESSIBLE SEATING

The Broadway Center is ADA friendly, and we will do all we can to ensure you have a positive experience. For the best accessible options for you, please contact the Box Office.

ASSISTED LISTENING

Headsets are available for our patrons at no cost. A headset allows you to tune out little noises so you may listen to the performance without distraction. Please notify a member of the usher staff and one will be provided for you.

ATTIRE

A Broadway Center event is always an opportunity to dress up, but there is never a dress code. Attire usually varies from casual to formal wear. Many people are allergic to perfumes. Out of consideration for your fellow audience members, please use perfume or cologne in moderation before entering the theater.

BACKSTAGE

No guests are allowed backstage prior to, during, or after any performance without proper authorization and identification.

CAMERAS OR RECORDING DEVICES

Taking photographs or recording during a performance is not typically allowed and the experience of other patrons, as well as copyright restriction, should be considered. However, we do encourage you to take photos in the lobby or before the show to share your experience with friends and family.

CHILDREN

Should your child become restless during a performance, you may be asked to wait in the lobby. Children under 5 may not be admitted to some performances; however our family shows are structured for a younger audience and are enjoyable for the entire family.

A ticket is required for everyone regardless of age. When available, discounts are available for younger audience members. Please contact the Box Office at 253.591.5894 with any concerns.

CONCESSIONS

Beverages and assorted snacks may be available prior to the performance or during intermission. Refreshments are permitted in the theater lobby unless otherwise posted.

NO SMOKING

Smoking is allowed outdoors only at least 25-feet from the theater entrances and where receptacles are provided. Electronic smoking devices are not permitted.

PARKING

We encourage you to take advantage of various parking garages in the Theater District:

Park Plaza North Garage - 923 Commerce Street (located between 9th & 11th on Commerce Street)

NEW PARKING VALIDATION PROCESS. The blue validation tickets are no longer accepted as a form of parking validation. The new validation requires a coupon code to be entered at the pay kiosks for both Park Plaza North or Subway Lot.

Street parking is usually available throughout the Theater District. Electronic meters collect a fee for street parking from 8:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. There is a two hour time limit at metered spaces. Saturday parking is $2.00 for all day parking. If you plan to park for more than two hours during the metered weekday period, please consider an off-street garage.
