Arthur Laurents (Part 1) |
|
Arthur Laurents, the 91-year-old librettist of Broadway classics West Side Story and Gypsy and director of the last two revivals of those shows, comes into the Playbill Radio studio for a far-ranging two-part interview with host Robert Viagas in which he airs his opinions on sex, drugs, death, Patti LuPone, gays in theatre, his own 52-year relationship, foul language in the theatre, a highly-critical recent New York magazine profile; collaborators Jerry Herman, Stephen Sondheim, Jerome Robbins; plus the forthcoming revival of La Cage aux Folles (which he will not direct). His new memoir, "Mainly on Directing," focuses on his work on the 2008 revival of Gypsy and the current revival of West Side Story, which was nominated for a Tony Award as Best Revival of a Musical. Part one of two parts. |
