Chenoweth-LuPone Candide to Be Part of "Great Performances" TV Season
By Andrew Gans
14 May 2004
The recent Candide concerts with the New York Philharmonic — starring Tony winners Kristin Chenoweth and Patti LuPone — will be broadcast on PBS.
A spokesperson for PBS's "Great Performances" series confirmed to Playbill On-Line that the recent concert of the Leonard Bernstein musical will be telecast next season. No air dates have yet been announced for the concert, which was filmed live May 8. The production, which was broadcast on WNYC radio May 7, will also be repeated on National Public Radio's "World of Opera" program this summer.
The musical, which played a limited engagement May 5-8, starred Tony winners Chenoweth and LuPone as, respectively, Cunegonde and The Old Lady. They were joined by tenor Paul Groves in the title role, tenor Stanford Olsen as Governor/Vanderdendur/Ragotski and baritone Sir Thomas Allen as Pangloss/Martin. The concerts, helmed by Lonny Price, also featured the Westminster Symphonic Choir under the direction of Joseph Flummerfelt. Marin Alsop conducted the Philharmonic.
The cast also boasted Michael McCormick (Baron/Inquisitor/Don Issachar/Cacambo), Gina Ferrall (Baroness/Sheep), Janine LaManna (Paquette), Jeff Blumenkrantz (Maximillian), Michael McElroy (Judge/Captain/Crook), John Herrera (Judge/Aide/Prefect/Governor), Ray Wills (Heresy Agent/Archbishop/Priest) and Patty Goble (Sheep).
Jim Noone has provided the stage design with costumes by Tracy Christensen, lighting by Kevin Adams, sound by Tom Clark, choreography by Casey Nickalaw and combat direction by Rick Sordelet.
Based on Voltaire's novel, Candide premiered on Broadway in 1956 at the Martin Beck Theatre. Although it boasted music by Leonard Bernstein, a book by Lillian Hellman and additional lyrics by John La Touche, Dorothy Parker and Richard Wilbur, the musical ran a brief 73 performances. The 1997 revival at the Gershwin Theatre featured a cast led by Jim Dale, Andrea Martin, Jason Danieley and Harolyn Blackwell.

Candide was awsome. KC was finominal, as usual. I was just wondering if any one knew where or when a recording of that performance will be available. The peeps at lincoln center had no idea. Do u think a cd will be available through PBS if we "donnate" a certain amount of money?

Or if not, at least something musicals-related. If you wanna pledge like $300. Too bad we have to wait til January  |
