The new musical, according to press notes, is described as such: "The Green Room, a place where actors await their entrance onto the stage. But for many 'green' college theatre majors, it serves as a study lounge, a rehearsal space and a personal support center. At fictional St. Nordoff University (a small Midwestern college) four students; Anna, her younger brother Cliff, her boyfriend John and the independent spirit Divonne spend their time together sharing some ambitions for life, discovering new possibilities for the future and learning about themselves as well as each other."

Four friends – college students and theater majors – don't just hang out in the backstage area known as "the green room." Their lives are wrapped up in what transpires there, planning, dreaming, studying (occasionally), yearning for the stage.
Set at St. Nordoff College, a small Presbyterian college in the Midwest, "The Green Room – A College Musical" takes place in the three years between the first day of school in four students' sophomore year and the last night before senior final exams.
The production of the musical that opened last Friday and continues through Aug. 29 at California Stage is a surprisingly sweet (and sometimes bawdy) tale of ambition and talent. Its sparkling cast – Courtney Parks as Divonne Bruder, Jessica Goldman as Anna Kearns, Jacob Montoya as Cliff Kearns and Lafras le Roux asJohn Davis – is energetic and appealing, and the production – directed by Kevin Caravalho – is polished without being too smooth. Even its multimedia slide-and-film shows – which were not part of the original script – feel organic.
C. Stephen Foster and Rod Damer wrote the book and Chuck Pelletier wrote the music and lyrics for the play, which has had only one other full production.
Parks makes a perfect Divonne, a diva who is a cross between Judy Garland, Bette Midler andBarbra Streisand. A little off-putting at first, as talents with such brass can be, she grows on you. Her second-act song "It's All About Me," in which she convinces herself that every bit part she has portrayed (even that of, say, the Burning Bush in a collegiate religious epic) was somehow central to the production, is both funny and insightful about the actor's process. (The song was named musical song of the year by the Songwriter's Guild of America in 2005.)
Goldman excels as Anna, an affluent, uptight character who progresses from "The All-You-Wanna-Do-Is-Do-Me-Blues" complaint to the very freewheeling, whip-wielding exclamation of "I Wanna Go to Extremes."
Montoya's Cliff seems to vacillate between hetero- and homosexuality – obviously written that way, as the character sings "Nothing Can Stop My Boys" as an overjoyed father-to-be and later expresses sexual ambivalence in "Good-Lookin' Girls," sung by the ensemble.  Le Roux's John is forced into what feels like a manufactured dilemma, being forced to choose between dropping out of college to join his father's architecture firm or pursuing his dream of theater, but it yields one of the play's best songs, "In the End."
"The Green Room – A College Musical" is performed with live accompaniment. Chelsea Gordonplays bass, Alfonso Portella plays drums, and musical director Jane L. Viemeister plays piano. Costumes – typical student wear and theater- department costuming – are by Audrey Kerster and choreography – simple but fitting – is by Terri Taylor. The highly effective video inserts were produced by Tony SingingEagle.

The Green Room: the College Musical
Synopsis

The Green Room, the place where actors await their entrance onto the stage, serves also as the study lounge, rehearsal space and support group for four struggling theater majors. Anna and Divonne share their ambitions for life beyond school (“In the Green Room”), but now are somewhat content to concentrate their energies on this space in the bowels of St. Nordoff, a small Midwestern college. Anna introduces her younger, smarter brother Cliff to the Green Room, as well as to Divonne and to John, her somewhat overconfident boyfriend. Brother and sister must convince John and Divonne that Cliff is worthy of acceptance into their group and into their beloved territory (“He’s Got Style”). Cliff’s earnestness and wit, along with his talent as a playwright, finally win them over. As the girls prepare for an upcoming audition, John takes Cliff under his wing and expounds on the virtues of being single (“Bachelor’s Anthem”). However, neither can overcome their attractions – Cliff to Divonne and John to Anna (“What Do I Think of Me?”). Cliff and Divonne’s relationship spawn an unexpected dilemma, which Cliff celebrates (“Nothing Can Stop My Boys”). A distraught Anna points out their parents’ inevitable disapproval, but Cliff’s manhood remains undaunted (“Nothing Can Stop My Boys Reprise”). After the four rehearse and perform for their professor’s musical tribute to the Bible (“Don’t Try to Part the Waters”), Divonne reveals to Cliff not only that she is not pregnant, but also that she is breaking up with him (“I’ve Had Enough of You”). During the strike for the show, John ignores Anna, prompting her and Cliff to commiserate about love in a sibling duet (“The All-You-Want-To-Do-Is-Do-M..e Blues”). John must weigh the wealth and security offered by a position at his father’s firm against the passion and inherent instability of a career onstage (“In the End”).

Act II opens two and a half years later during our group’s last collegiate all-nighter. Cliff and John rescue Divonne from writer’s block with some electrifying ideas (“Destination Stage Left”). The boys are desperate for Anna’s help in their cram session for theater history, but she refuses as long as she is required to wear and ultra-revealing costume demanded by Cliff’s script. As the other three leave to resolve this issue, Divonne laments her fate as a perpetually underappreciated character actor (“It’s All About Me”). Despite the foursome’s differences, they must pull together to rehearse a song (“Good-Lookin’ Girls”) for Cliff’s play. Afterward, Cliff admits he’s still in love with Divonne, but she convinces him that love will come again to him (“It Comes Easy”). The others turn on Anna whom they feel is needlessly blocking their dreams of conquering Broadway after graduation. Left alone, Anna decides to lay it all on the line, shed her good-girl image and take a big risk for the good of the group (“I Want to Go to Extremes”). Now united in purpose and rededicated to acting, our intimate group watches the curtain fall on their college life and on the place that embodied it. They set their sights beyond the comfortable walls of the Green Room and look toward their future (“Waiting in the Wings”).

REVIEWS:
 
LOS ANGELES TIMES:
 
“A bright, beaming cherub of a fledgling musical, "The Green Room" at the Hermosa Beach Playhouse depicts the backstage aspirations and tribulations of four theater majors at a small Midwestern university. As such, the show is pretty much defined by the exuberance as well as the self-absorption that goes with a stage of life before the onset of adult responsibilities. Think "Merrily We Roll Along" -- without the rolling.
The characters are a clearly defined if somewhat arbitrary cross-section of students in their early 20s, grappling with academic challenges, emerging sexuality, overblown relationship traumas, and grandiose career ambitions. Amid occasional studying and rehearsals for religious-themed musicals, pretty, squeaky-clean Anna (Stephanie Burkett Gerson) struggles to overcome her defenses with freewheeling new boyfriend John (Zane Gerson). Her younger brother Cliff (Michael J. Willett) explores his uncertain sexual orientation with wannabe diva Divonne (Jessica Gisin).  
The combination of youth and ambition in these characters conspires to make narcissism the show's dominant theme, celebrated with breezy wit and irony. "The question's not what I think of you," chirps Anna in a confessional ballad, "But what do I think of me?" When Cliff learns he may have knocked up Divonne, his only response is uninhibited pride in the potency of his sperm in the hilarious show-stopper, "Nothing Can Stop My Boys." In the show's quintessential anthem to egoism, "It's All About Me," Gisin's Divonne re-imagines her minor roles as the focal point of the various productions she's been in.”
LA STAGESCENE
“All in all, The Green Room is an entirely enjoyable musical bonbon, and an excellent showcase for four very talented young performers you’ll likely be hearing much more from in the future.
 
In these tight economic times, The Green Room’s small cast and simple set requirements make it a perfect choice for regional and community theaters.”
 
THEATRE TALK:
 
CRITICS PICK—5 out of 5 stars
 
“The Green Room boasts a uniquely appealing musical score by Chuck Pelletier and a fast-paced, optimistic story about collegiate youth. In the worst of times, what could be more inspirational? Young people who want to devote themselves fully to the arts, sticking it out together.
"It's All About Me", "Destination Stage Left" "I Wanna Go To Extreme" and "Nothing Can Stop My Boys" are just 4 of the tuneful songs that will stay with you for many years to come. From what other new contemporary musical are you likely to even remember one tune? To some, the unity of the friends may seem unrealistic. But, this is a musical adventure, where we must be allowed to dream. To my mind, it's divonnely refreshing!! GREAT STUFF”
MUSICALS IN LA:
 
“Hermosa Beach Playhouse's The Green Room a Winner!
 
From the first note of this fresh new musical, you’d better pay attention because the words fly fast and furious, with energy to spare, from the sparkling young cast. If you’ve ever been an actor, wanted to be an actor, or known an actor, you’ll relate to the Broadway-hopeful dreams of these characters in their home away from home -- the green room.
 
Book and lyrics are cleverly written and succeed in conveying the spirit of the characters, often using humor to make the point. Pelletier’s music satisfies the audience by moving through a number of styles. Together, the elements work to create a thoroughly enjoyable evening.”

Hermosa Beach Playhouse's The Green Room a Winner

The Green Room


If you haven’t seen Hermosa Beach Playhouse’s world premiere of The Green Room by Chuck Pelletier, C. Stephen Foster and Rod Damer, you have one more weekend. And believe me, this one you don’t want to miss.

From the first note of this fresh new musical, you’d better pay attention because the words fly fast and furious, with energy to spare, from the sparkling young cast. If you’ve ever been an actor, wanted to be an actor, or known an actor, you’ll relate to the Broadway-hopeful dreams of these characters in their home away from home -- the green room.

The cast includes Stephanie Burkett Gerson, Zane Gerson, Jessica Gisen and Michael Willett. Book and lyrics are cleverly written and succeed in conveying the spirit of the characters, often using humor to make the point. Pelletier’s music satisfies the audience by moving through a number of styles. Together, the elements work to create a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

After I saw the show, I asked book writer, C. Stephen Foster to tell me a little bit about the evolution of The Green Room.

Where did the idea for the show come from?

The show originally came from Rod Damer’s one-act play based on his college experience. It was about the 4 characters' last college all-nighter.

The show is so entertaining and upbeat. What were you hoping the audience would take away from The Green Room?

The story follows four college theater students searching to find themselves as they question their parents, each other and their professors, but we didn’t want them to be bitter and jaded. The thrust of the show is “green” which represents growth and yearning. We’re hoping the audience takes the spirit of youth from the show.

How did you connect with HBP and how did that lead to them producing the show?

Chuck Pelletier (composer/lyricist) was cast in Hermosa Beach Playhouse’s musical Godspell. After the show wrapped, we gave artistic director Stephanie Coltrin the CD of the workshop recording. She immediately liked it and wanted to workshop the script with us and mount the show. We spent a long time reworking the material, the characters and the story line until we felt it was “right”.

What is the developmental history of the show....and where is it going after HBP?

Chuck originally brought the show to my theater company Off-Hollywood where we mounted the one-act of the musical. It contained, “It’s All About Me”, “Destination Stage Left”, “I Want to Go to Extremes,” “Waiting in the Wings” and “In the End”. It was a huge success. We felt we were on to something big and we decided to develop it into a full two-act musical! We fleshed out the story, characters and plot and did a 2-nighter of it at the Group Repertory Theater in the valley. The show was successful and then we found Stephanie Coltrin.

As for the future of The Green Room, we have a production opening August 7th in Sacramento starring Courtney Parks as Divonne, which is being presented at the California Stages by Friends of Dorothy Productions. We may also have a production in the fall in Orange County and we have several theaters across the country interested. We’re hoping to have it “sit” at a theater like the El Portal or the Colony in Los Angeles for an extended run. Of course, we’d love to have it at the Next Stages in New York.

Show runs through May 31. For tickets go to www.hermosabeachplayhouse.com/. You can also purchase the “workshop” recording at www.amazon.com/ or www.cdbaby.com/.

StagesceneLa.com review of "The Green Room"
by Steven Stanley

There’s some exciting news for High School Musical fans who’ve moved on to higher education.  College Musical has arrived!  Well, in actual fact the show in question is entitled The Green Room, but in many ways it’s like a PG-13 post-graduation spin-off of the über popular Disney franchise. Like HSM, this enjoyable world premiere features young, ready-for-their-close-up triple-threats who spend more time singing, dancing, and pairing up than doing their assignments. Then again, who would pay to see a show about homework?

The Green Room focuses on a quartet of talented undergrads at the Midwestern St. Norhoff’s College, all of whom have Broadway stars in their eyes. There’s pert blonde Anna (Stephanie Burkett Gerson), her geeky aspiring playwright brother Cliff (Michael J. Willett), Anna’s boy-next-door boyfriend John (Zane Gerson), and the diva who floats John’s boat, a bold and brassy bundle of energy named Divonne (Jessica Gisin).  (Clearly, The Green Room exists in an alternate universe in which boys like Cliff and John pursue musical theater to have sex with girls. On the other hand, it might just be a phase for at least one of them.)

The show gets its title from the room where actors hang out while awaiting their entrances. It’s also the place where we first meet our would-be stars as well as the title of the first of fifteen catchy songs (music and lyrics by Chuck Pelletier), each of which receives a brief set-up in C. Stephen Foster and Rod Damer’s cute, episodic book. “The green room,” sings Anna, “like a guardian angel, prepares you for the people in those seats. The green room helps you to believe the world you are creating to believe in me.”

Anna, Divonne, and John consider themselves the drama department’s Three Musketeers and are not immediately open to the idea of becoming a foursome, but in “We’ve Got Style” they decide to make an exception for Freshman Cliff, on condition that “if we are going to spend our time knowing you, don’t sit there blowing your smoke up our asses.”  (Yes, indeedy, this show is PG-13-rated.)   Soon, John and Cliff are doing some male bonding (strictly hetero) in “Bachelor’s Anthem,” a musical salute to the single life.

St. Nordoff’s being a Presbyterian college, John and Anna have yet to know each other in the Biblical sense, and though John craves more than what Anna has been doling out, much much more, Anna is in no rush to take things further than goodnight kisses. In “What Do I Think Of Me?” she sings, “What is it I want now? What is it you need? I can’t let my defenses down to every man I see.”  What oh what is a good girl to do?

Then again, John is not just “every man” to Anna, nor is Cliff to Divonne, as soon becomes clear when Miss D-for-Diva informs her boyfriend that she has taken an EPT test and the results have come back positive.  It takes a few seconds for Cliff to grasp what this means, but once he does, he is elated to learn that the condom broke.  “Nothing Can Stop My Boys” is not only the title of the song he sings to celebrate impending fatherhood, but also the way he feels about this proof positive of his masculinity. “I have got the balls of young Clint Eastwood, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s poise,” he belts out proudly.  “I produce a crowd of sperm cells tough as The Dirty Dozen.  Nothing can stop my boys.”  Not only that, but “it’s elating, no more debating, whether or not I’m queer.”  As if!

Other musical highlights include the Bible Musical spoof “Don’t Try To Part The Water” (sung a cappella in perfect four-part harmony), “The All-You-Want-To-Do-Is-Do-Me Blues,” Cliff and Anna’s bluesy lament that their intendeds are only interested in doing the nasty, and the 1950s doo-wop inspired “Good Lookin’ Girls.”

Under Stephanie A. Coltrin’s snappy direction, The Green Room’s four stars deliver High School Musical IV-ready performances with a bit of Saved For The Bell (The College Years) thrown in for good measure. That is to say, their performances are sketched in broad, sitcom strokes, but undeniably enjoyable.

As Divonne, the dynamic powerhouse Gisin gets to sing The Green Room’s standout number, the award-winning 2005 Musical Song Of The Year “It’s All About Me,” a terrific showcase for the bubbly comedienne with the big big voice. “It’s All About Me” is about all the starring roles Divonne didn’t get and all the minor roles she did get—and made into star vehicles for herself. For example, she was Nun #7 in The Sound Of Music. Never heard of her? According to Divonne, she’s the nun who steals the distributor wires of the Nazi’s black car thereby enabling Maria and family to escape.

Gerson and Gerson, married in real life, do winning work as John and Anna. Zane is a tall, lanky All American Boy with a rich baritone which melds beautifully with his castmates’ voices in four-part harmony songs like the Act One finale “In The End.”  Stephanie looks ready to play Sandy in Grease with her blonde girl next door sweetness, which (like Sandy) she gets to abandon, albeit briefly, when she dons a dominatrix’s black leather micro-mini dress for “I Want To Go To Extremes.” And wow can this soprano belt out those high notes.

Finally, there is on-the-fast-track-to-Broadway Willett, moving from Disciple in Jesus Christ Superstar to leading man here, a role which he assumes with absolute confidence and can’t-be-learned star quality. Besides being cute as a button and a terrific physical comedian, Willett has as gorgeous a tenor as you’re likely to hear, which he shows off to impressive effect in the eleventh-hour ballad “It Comes Easy.” 
 
The four sensational singers are given excellent backup by Ron Snyder on piano, Matt North on drums, Clint Davidson on bass, and Peter Rhee on guitar, with musical direction by Pelletier.  Dancer extraordinaire turned choreographer Karl Warden gives the four college friends some fun, pizzazzy steps to execute. Set designer Christopher Beyries and properties designer T. Theresa Scarano have created a believable college green room with fridge, microwave, sofa, pay phone, etc.  Ric Zimmerman’s lighting design and Kevin Goold’s sound design are both first-rate. Christa Armendariz’s costumes nicely reflect the four friends’ varying personalities.

In these tight economic times, The Green Room’s small cast and simple set requirements make it a perfect choice for regional and community theaters, though high schools would likely find it more than a bit risqué, with lyrics like “These women from Venus they coax us and wean us then tell us our penis won’t do” likely to cause conniptions in the PTA.

All in all, The Green Room is an entirely enjoyable musical bonbon, and an excellent showcase for four very talented young performers you’ll likely be hearing much more from in the future.

review - a world premiere musical





l to r (clockwise): Zane Gerson, Jessica Gisin, Michael J. Willett, Stephanie Burkett Gerson.























CRITIC'S PICK

The Green Room

the world premiere musical


music by Chuck Pelletier; book & lyrics by C. Stephen Foster & Rod Damer

directed by Stephanie A. Coltrin

Hermosa Beach Playhouse

through May 31


a special event of the 2009 Festival of New American Musicals


The Green Room boasts a uniquely appealing musical score by Chuck Pelletier and a fast-paced, optimistic story about collegiate youth. In the worst of times, what could be more inspirational? Young people who want to devote themselves fully to the arts, sticking it out together.


This Green Room cast is just terrific. It's an example of ensemble playing at its best where everyone comes up a star. Zane Gerson (John), Stephanie Burkett Gerson (Anna), Michael J. Willett (Cliff) and Jessica Gisin (Divonne) move, move, move to Stepahine A. Coltrin's consistently upbeat direction. Problems of dating, sex and marriage are explored as well as the urgency of career choices. Do you stick to an unpredictable show business career - what you love the most, or give in to the money and security of an everyday job that is dismal and boring? I am always in favor of the risk takers in life!!


The Act I finale needs a more dramatic finish. Now, there is an abrupt blackout following the music. John's decision to leave is a gigantic one - it would divide the group forever. Maybe just a few lines after the song "In the End" would intensify that moment. "You can't do this to us!" "John, think more about what you're doing!" or the like lends more urgency. Increased drama would also add greater contrast to the finale of Act II with its proper sense of quiet resolution.


Apart from this, there are very few flaws, as the show entertainingly plays out to a happy conclusion. Any teenage angst and insecurity apparent during freshman year of college have changed to a more mature stance by graduation, as the friends calmly and purposefully are "Waiting in the Wings".


"It's All About Me", "Destination Stage Left" "I Wanna Go To Extreme" and "Nothing Can Stop My Boys" are just 4 of the tuneful songs that will stay with you for many years to come. From what other new contemporary musical are you likely to even remember one tune? To some, the unity of the friends may seem unrealistic. But, this is a musical adventure, where we must be allowed to dream. To my mind, it's divonnely refreshing!!


Great stuff!
