GRAMMY winners are successfully crossing over from the concert stage to the Broadway stage
Nick Krewen
GRAMMYs
Dec 2, 2014 - 4:06 pm

When the musical "Kinky Boots" captured six Tony Awards in June, including wins for Best Musical and Best Original Score Written For The Theatre, its composer was a familiar name to pop music fans: Cyndi Lauper.

It was the GRAMMY winner's first foray into this new discipline, but she's not the only one to take the Broadway leap. In what seems to be a coincidental trend, 2013 promises to yield a bumper crop of musicals tendered from pop and rock superstars, kick-started by the release of an album and tour based on the John Mellencamp-Stephen King-T Bone Burnett "supernatural" musical "Ghost Brothers Of Darkland County" in June and October, respectively, and extended at least through next autumn by Sting's "The Last Ship" (scheduled for a fall 2014 launch). Planned shows also include Tori Amos' "The Light Princess" (Oct. 9); and Duncan Sheik's fifth and sixth musicals, "American Psycho" (Dec. 3) and "Because Of Winn Dixie" (Dec. 4). Also in the works are "Harmony," the first stage musical by Barry Manilow, premiering in Atlanta in September, and "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical," a production based on King's life and music arriving for Broadway previews Nov. 21.

These artists are joining a growing lineup of contemporary luminaries, including U2's Bono and The Edge, Elton John and Green Day, who have successfully stepped outside their regular album-tour cycle comfort zones to mount Broadway spectacles, or at the very least, projects appealing to theater-loving crowds.

Often taking lengthy amounts of time to complete — Mellencamp and best-selling author King took 13 years to finish "Ghost Brothers Of Darkland County" — and involving multiple workshops, musicals often force composers to challenge themselves and think outside the box.

"I had to learn how to write for other voices besides my own," says Lauper, addressing the task of writing for characters previously established by the 2005 British film Kinky Boots. "[I] never had to do that before.

"When I perform, a lot of the time I pretend I'm someone else when I'm singing. When I sing 'At Last' I'm a certain gal; when I sing 'Girls [Just Wanna Have Fun]' I'm another and when I sing 'True Colors' I go to another side of myself. So as a performer I've become other people.

"I just had to learn to do that as a songwriter."

Lauper, who co-wrote her pop smashes "Time After Time," "She Bop" and "Change Of Heart," said that she took inspiration for the songs for "Kinky Boots" character Charlie from her son Declyn, Lauren from cast actress Annaleigh Ashford and Lola from herself, "because I am a drag queen in some ways."

"I did really try to work hard and give every cast member a real voice to tell their story … from the leads to the chorus," she says.

Duncan Sheik knows the drill. His musical "Spring Awakening," co-written by Steven Sater, captured eight Tony Awards in 2007, including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Orchestrations. The musical also took home a GRAMMY for Best Musical Show Album at the 50th GRAMMY Awards. Despite the success, Sheik admits that when he first began he "thought musicals were the worst genre in the universe."

Sheik, who scored a Top 20 hit with 1996's "Barely Breathing" and has released seven studio albums (an eighth is due late 2013/early 2014), changed his mind when he read Frank Wedekind's play.

"I thought maybe we could do something if the music was stylistically different than what you normally hear in the theater," he says.

"The brilliant thing about writing music for a narrative that has a really long arc is that you're not chained to the idea of, 'I need to write a three-minute pop song that's going to express a succinct idea about something that's happened in my life.' You write songs and you write music from a perspective of a very different persona from your own.

"So all of a sudden the sonic and emotional palettes become much more broad, much more fun and much more interesting. That's really cool because that allows you to open yourself up and do things that you might not normally do. There are songs I've written for 'Spring Awakening' and other musicals that I would have never written as Duncan Sheik songs."

The collaborative process for a musical is also different, as numerous creative and financial interests contribute their portion of what amounts to a big jigsaw puzzle.

"There are way more people, and that can be really tough," admits Sheik, whose "Spring Awakening" is due to be filmed for the silver screen later this year.

"Usually you have a writing partner you work with who is writing the book and possibly the lyrics; you have a director who is calling all the shots; then you have producers who are putting the money into this and making it happen, so they have their say as well.

"You have a whole creative team — costume designers and lighting designers, and they end up affecting the music in certain ways too, because people need to be able to wear certain kinds of clothes and do certain kinds of movements. All these people have a huge effect on what the ultimate piece of music can be."

Based on a concept by Mellencamp, "Ghost Brothers Of Darkland County" tells the tale of two brothers who get into a fight over a woman at a cabin haunted by ghosts, with one of the brothers winding up dead. The surviving brother and woman speed away in a car, but ultimately crash into a lake and drown.

"It was Steve's job to tell the story," Mellencamp told Rolling Stone about King's role. "It was my job to develop the characters through songs. That's different than most musicals."

As the musical was nearing completion, Mellencamp and King called upon Burnett to help fine-tune the music.

"The idea was for me to come in and create the vibe," Burnett told Rolling Stone . "We took the songs and cast them with different singers and musicians, and began creating what I hoped would be a foggy, ghost sound."

Lauper, who was personally requested to provide the score for "Kinky Boots" by the musical's book writer, Broadway legend Harvey Fierstein, said her four-year endeavor was an incredible journey.

"Working with this amazing creative team [and] seeing the show come to life from each stage — from script to workshop to getting the cast to the next round of workshops, to rehearsals to out of town run to opening in Chicago, to opening night on Broadway — it was an amazing process to be part of and I still get tears in my eyes when I see the show even now," says Lauper.

Sheik agrees that all the blood, sweat and tears injected into creating a musical seem to evaporate once the production is staged.

"The reward is being in the audience where the whole thing coalesces in front of you: the narrative and the song and the staging and all the design aspects of the piece kind of come together, and it's this magical thing that music does that no other medium [does]," he explains. "It's completely transporting and it really feels like the audience is having an experience as well. It has a different depth to it, and when you get it right, there's nothing better."

And now that she's got one musical under her belt, would Lauper contemplate another?

"Without a doubt," she says.

How MusiCares' Music On A Mission Honored The Resilience Of The Music Community

Featuring performances from HAIM, H.E.R., BTS, Jhené Aiko, John Legend and more, MusiCares' inaugural Music on a Mission event celebrated the wider music community and helped raise funds for those impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic

The MusiCares Person Of The Year ceremony is one of the most anticipated events at GRAMMY Week every year. MusiCares' annual celebration recognizes the artistic achievement and philanthropic work through the Person Of The Year Award. This year, the nonprofit reimagined its marquee event—which would have celebrated its 30th anniversary—to celebrate the music community as a whole. The inaugural Music on a Mission event, hosted by MC Lyte, on March 12 opened its virtual doors to the public and featured special performances by 2021 GRAMMY nominees to raise money for music professionals impacted by COVID-19.

The event also included a mix of special appearances by previous Person Of The Year recipients and words from a cross-section of musicians and music industry workers. Before the show began, DJ D-Nice provided the sounds that fueled excitement for the meaningful night with his well-selected jams, including remixes of Sister Sledge's "Lost in Music" and Stevie Wonder's "Another Star." 

The energy ramped up even more as the event segued into a flashback of MusiCares' 2012 Person Of The Year event honoring Sir Paul McCartney. The audience went back to the moment Cirque du Soleil transported their "The Beatles LOVE" Las Vegas experience to Los Angeles with their acrobatics to "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." Following that introduction, McCartney performed a rousing rendition of "Magical Mystery Tour" from that year's event, pulling David Crosby, Steven Van Zandt, and Don Was out of their seats.

MusiCares executive director Laura Segura and Vice President of Amazon Music and board chair Steve Boom gave a short welcome after the epic throwback performance. "With the simple act of purchasing a ticket and enjoying tonight's performances, you've made a difference in the lives of people in need," Boom said.

The celebration then continued with exclusive performances. Jhené Aiko delivered a live acoustic rendition of "LOVE" from her album, Chilombo. Backed by a guitarist and percussionist, she faded the song out by playing her healing sound bowls. John Legend also performed live. The GRAMMY-winning singer lit up the virtual stage from home with a version of "U Move, I Move," featuring Aiko, from his 2020 album Bigger Love on his grand piano. 

Styled and glammed, H.E.R. brought the GRAMMY show vibe with a full band, including strings and brass. She sang "Fight For You," from the Judas and the Black Messiah film. The performance was in sharp contrast to HAIM who were introduced by Recording Academy Chair and Interim President/CEO Harvey Mason jr. The group's raw rendition of "The Steps" felt like an eavesdrop during a rehearsal in their parents' basement. 

South Korean global pop superstars BTS provided their own captivating show. The group shared a performance of their smash "Dynamite" from an empty theatre. The band members sang from various spots in the seated venue and came together on stage. Spotlights and camera angles provided a stunning visual of their stripped-back, electrifying performance, with the group sitting in a horseshoe arrangement at the center of the stage with a blue-haired Jungkook on drums.

But the night wasn't all performances. Also interspersed throughout were messages from Ringo Starr, Shakira, Elton John, Mick Fleetwood, Jesse & Joy, Ledisi, Macklemore and Bonnie Raitt, all thanking MusiCares for their work and encouraging viewers to donate to the organization's efforts. As Shakira put it, "Putting on a show takes a village," and the people who actually put on the shows in real life have been "disproportionately affected by the shutdown of shows."

The night also opened the vault to past Person Of The Year tribute performances, a tradition of the celebration previously only seen by those in attendance. Included in the virtual concert were the Jonas Brothers doing their version of Aerosmith's "Crazy" from the 2020 MusiCares Person Of The Year celebration honoring the band. A performance from Bruce Springsteen, the 2015 MusiCares Person Of The Year honoree, of "Born to Run," with his E Street Band, too, had its moment at the event. The program also featured an unforgettable performance from 2017 MusiCares Person Of The Year recipient Tom Petty performing "Stop Dragging My Heart Around" with Stevie Nicks; the performance was one of his last five shows.

Several other magical moments from past Person Of The Year celebrations were made public during Music on a Mission. At one point of the night, Lionel Richie, 2016 MusiCares Person Of The Year honoree, shared that MusiCares helped him realize it was time to give back. He introduced another flashback, this one to Usher's dynamic performance of the Commodores' "Lady (You Bring Me Up)," which had Richie grooving during that year's event. Carole King, 2014 MusiCares Person Of The Year recipient, introduced a luminous Lady Gaga who performed her version of King's "You've Got A Friend."

But Music on a Mission's most moving moments were those where musicians and music workers shared their stories of how MusiCares has helped them. Those included singer/songwriter Brittni Jessie who spoke of the mental and emotional support she received from MusiCares in the last year. "It's an incredible thing to know that we do struggle as artists, and it's good to know we have someone in our corner that understands what being a touring musician is like," she said.

Hubert Payne, the recording and touring drummer for Little Big Town, is the sole provider for his family, which includes five children under 8. During the event, he mentioned that MusiCares has been a bridge for him multiple times, including when he suffered from a knee injury a few years back. The organization was "truly a hand up, for me and a lot of my friends," he said. "Understand you're not the only one. No one's going to judge you and make you feel less than. The support will really help you reach the next step."

VIP event manager Alyssa Garcia is a behind-the-scene music worker whose life was pulled out from under her in the early part of 2020. She emphasized how easy it was to reach out to MusiCares and how the organization eagerly helped. "Reaching out will make you feel better," Garcia said.

MusiCares continues to provide support and assistance to all music workers. The organization's unusually heavy workload persists due to the ongoing pandemic. As the musicians in Music on a Mission stated, all financial support from its efforts goes directly to those in the wider music community who are affected. 

Music on a Mission is available on-demand until Friday, March 19. Buy a ticket here. All proceeds from Music on a Mission will be distributed to music people in need.
