STAGE TO SCREEN: Channel Surfing
When it came to stage adaptations of plays, live anthology dramas like “Playhouse 90” and “Studio One” had something of a monopoly until 1964. That’s when the Ford Foundation set up the National Educational Television project, which became known as NET, the forerunner to today’s public television and the progenitor of New York’s Channel 13 (WNET). Shows like “NET Playhouse” and “Theatre in America” transmogrified into “Great Performances,” which is still going strong after 29 years. Other theater-themed PBS offerings include “Live at Lincoln Center” (which most recently aired the Helen Hunt Twelfth Night in 1998) and “American Playhouse,” which finally shut down in 1997. The trend should continue with WNET’s much-ballyhooed “Stage on Screen” series.

Ken Mandelbaum's AISLE VIEW: The Musical Road To Broadway
There was a time when, almost without exception, musicals opened on Broadway following tryout runs in such cities as Boston, Philadelphia, and New Haven; some shows played just one tryout town, while others hit two or three. In the '50s and early '60s, musicals would arrive in New York after these road runs and play just a couple of previews (usually pre-sold to theatre parties and not advertised to the general public) before the opening night, which was the performance attended by all major critics.

PLAYBILL ON OPENING NIGHT: Doubt: Doubt-Filled or Doubt-Free?
The only doubt about Doubt, the John Patrick Stanley play that bowed on Broadway March 31 at the Walter Kerr, might be called The Curse of the Slam-Dunk: with such a trumpeted hit on their hands, would somebody drop the ball? Would great expectations be as great with repeated viewings, or would they dribble away into disappointment?

Ken Mandelbaum's AISLE VIEW: Playing Favorites, Part II
Last week, I isolated nine favorite musicals, not necessarily the finest ever written, but ones that have had the strongest impact on me. Of those nine, Street Scene and The Most Happy Fella are, as stated last time, operatic and require considerable musical forces, yet they can work in small productions. In fact, with the possible exception of Follies, all nine (the others were West Side Story, Cabaret, The King and I, Gypsy, Wonderful Town, and Kiss of the Spider Woman) should work in any intelligent production. The first eight titles on my "B" list are musicals that are favorites not only for their composition but also for their original staging or stars, favorites closely tied to their original productions.
