"Today, the people who steal you blind and get-rich-quick are boring "
"I have been waiting a lifetime to say `Where are the dames? Where's the sex? Where are all the components that a show like this should have?'" Prince said
"It's taken us a long time to figure it out," Weidman says with a laugh
Those words also could be used to describe the show's creation, a troubled yet persistent journey that has fascinated Broadway buffs obsessed with Sondheim, the most influential musical-theater composer of the last 50 years In a sense, Wilson's life was squandered because he never picked a path to follow," Weidman said
"The show is about a uniquely American quality â€â€? the ability to reinvent yourself, to fall on your face, get up and move on," Prince said ' Now this show does just that Addison (played by Richard Kind) was an architect who helped create Boca Raton in the Florida land boom of the 1920s "The words that the guys used were `tumbling through America
Now those fans finally are getting a chance to see the show on stage "
The musical â€â€? then called "Wise Guys" â€â€? focused on the squabbling brothers and their relationship with their mother, who's now played by Jane Powell, a star of MGM musicals of the late 1940s and '50s The composer returned to the material in the mid-1990s and enlisted Weidman, his collaborator on "Pacific Overtures" and "Assassins
"Bounce" has its world premiere Monday at the Goodman Theatre, having weathered tribulations that would have derailed individuals less hardy than Sondheim and book writer John Weidman
Sondheim became intrigued with their story in the 1950s, but he couldn't get the rights to a book based on their tumultuous lives 21 In America, you can be more resilient than in other places
Out of that thought came "Bounce," and the vaudeville style in which the story is told There was no romance, according to the veteran director of such musicals as "Cabaret," Evita" and "The Phantom of the Opera
The project faltered after Mendes left, only to be jump-started by Hal Prince, a longtime Sondheim collaborator who hadn't worked with either the composer or Weidman for more than 20 years
"For me, the show is also an appreciation of a kind of skullduggery, a kind of almost romantic thievery, that had glamour," Prince added Plans to bring the show to Broadway have not been announced, although several New York producers, including Prince himself, are attached to the project
"One of the first things that emerged from early meetings with Hal was that if we were going to tell the lives of these two guys on stage, one of the things that made their story worth telling was that they lived their lives with a kind of speed, energy and brightness, an almost musical-comedy speed," Weidman said Wilson (Howard McGillin) was more of a charlatan, a wheeler-dealer who dabbled in everything from the Alaska Gold Rush to early Hollywood movies
Weidman was more interested in the relationship between the two brothers, who, he says, supported and yet undermined each other
The problems that sidetracked its creators included an unsatisfactory New York workshop production directed by Academy Award-winner Sam Mendes and a lawsuit, now settled, involving one of the show's former producers
And the musical underwent a variety of name changes â€â€? from "Wise Guys" to "Gold!" to its present title Then "Gold!" was chosen to reflect their pursuit of immediate rewards A four-week engagement at the Kennedy Center in Washington begins Oct
Prince had seen the workshop and came away puzzled But the creators still weren't satisfied "
An opportunistic dance-hall hostess, portrayed by Tony winner Michele Pawk, was added to the plot as a romantic interest for Wilson "It's about resilience
Yet "Bounce," which tells the stories of the adventurous Mizner brothers, survived â€â€? just like its two early 20th century heroes Sondheim Musical to Debut in New York
Jun 29, 1:22 PM EST
"One day lose, the next day win "
"Bounce" plays at the Goodman through Aug Giving up's the only sin," goes a lyric in "Bounce," the highly anticipated new Stephen Sondheim musical, his first in nearly a decade Wilson and Addison Mizner were idiosyncratic risk-takers The brothers' snappy, sardonic wit suggested "Wise Guys," according to Weidman 10, and there is the possibility it could extend to the end of the month "
"Steve saw Wilson as a guy with so many different talents, a man who was unable to settle on one
Problems were apparent in the 1999 workshop, which used some of the best talent on Broadway, including Nathan Lane and Victor Garber in the leading roles
