Tony-winning set designer Beowulf Boritt (The Piano Lesson, POTUS, Flying Over Sunset) gives a reading from his new book Transforming Space Over Time: Set Design and Visual Storytelling with Broadway's Legendary Directors at The Drama Book Shop October 11 at 7 PM.
Peabody winner Elliott Forrest hosts a discussion after the reading between Boritt and fellow book collaborators, the Tony-winning directors James Lapine (Into the Woods, Sunday in the Park with George) and Susan Stroman (The Producers, Contact).
Transforming Space Over Time goes inside five Broadway productions and one Off-Broadway production from the moment Boritt received the job offer through conceptual development and challenges faced to putting it on the stage. He gives insights into his conversations and collaborations with industry favorites such as James Lapine, Kenny Leon, Hal Prince, Susan Stroman, Jerry Zaks, and Stephen Sondheim. From these different insights, Boritt offers what he learned about shaping the project and creative collaboration.
Transforming Space Over Time is published by Applause Theatre & Cinema Books, an imprint of Globe Pequot, and was released August 15, 2022. The Piano Lesson's LaTanya Richardson Jackson and Samuel L. Jackson hosted the book's launch at Sardi's.
The Broadway musicians' union has been publicly attacking the musical's historic decision to perform with pre-recorded tracks in lieu of live musicians.
Among the songwriting participants are Broadway performers Adam Chanler-Berat and Robi Hager, director Arpita Mukherjee, and Off-Broadway composer Adam Gwon.
The jukebox musical is up for Broadway's top honor at this year's Tony Awards, along with Kimberly Akimbo; New York, New York; Shucked; and Some Like It Hot.
All major productions of the Fatboy Slim-David Byrne musical have performed with pre-recorded tracks, but it's a notable break from Broadway tradition.
Among the stage, TV, and film producer's film projects are NBC's live musicals, including the 2018 production of Lloyd Webber's Jesus Christ Superstar.
