Who Needs Broadway?
Will eventually show up at the Aronoff Center.The Tonys recognize only shows from Broadway. That’s just 40 theaters (many tied up with long, open-ended production runs), so there might be 30 or so new musicals or plays annually — not an extensive sampling of American theater and increasingly dictated by popular appeal (hence, “jukebox” shows using tunes we all know) or star vehicles (TV or movie actors whose names sell tickets).
Our Cincinnati theaters present shows mostly free of such limitations, often digging into Broadway’s more distant past. Covington’s Carnegie Center just announced its 2011-2012 season, four shows, three partnering with other arts organization. For instance, they’ll work with Northern Kentucky University’s Ken Jones and NKU’s professional Commonwealth Theatre Company to stage Pippin (Nov. 4-20), playwright Sarah Ruhl’s latest script. Local theater veteran Ed Cohen will direct a cast of actors from the drama program at UC’s College-Conservatory of Music (CCM). The show was a finalist for the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in drama, but its subject matter — sexuality in the Victorian era — has apparently not appealed to any of our local theaters that have staged other scripts by Ruhl, like The Clean House (Jan. 20-29, 2012) is the Carnegie’s closest brush with a classic — and follows the Broadway formula of a revival with a familiar star. The 1952 Tony winner will be presented in concert with the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra, featuring Ron Bohmer, a Cincinnati native with a lot of Broadway experience, as the autocratic king.

In the spring of 2012, Berg dusts off Hit the Deck, a seldom-produced Broadway show from 1927 — long before the Tonys existed! With shows like these at the Carnegie and CCM, we needn't pine for Broadway's current hits.
