What's Happening Around Town for January 30, 2013
Jason Alexander on New Musical and the Return of Reprise
In an interview with Los Angeles Times entertainment reporter, Deborah Vankin, Jason Alexander talks about directing his new comedy-musical revue, When You're in Love, the Whole World Is Jewish, and future plans for Reprise Theatre Company. He says of Reprise, “We’ve been in total creative hiatus since about a year ago. We wanted to come back with a real artistic mission that was hopefully more meaningful to the arts community of L.A. than what we had been doing – minimalist revivals of primarily classic musicals. We’ve been shopping for a new home and are now very close to making a wonderful relationship with a place. When we do come back, part of what we'll do is get into original works of plays and musicals as well as expand the category of what we think of as theater.” We can’t wait!
