Broadway Their Way

Uptown Players in Dallas scores big premieres for exciting 2014 season

Lindsey Wilson
Aug 7, 2013 | 11:23 am

For its upcoming season, Uptown Players is planning a program that mixes the new and hot with the old and beloved. One American premiere and three regional premieres are slotted for the seven-show lineup, which includes the annual fundraiser Broadway Our Way.

Described as a concert that “light-heartedly pits the men against the women to determine who the true divas of the Dallas stage really are,” Broadway Our Way — now in its 12th year — runs for six performances from January 17-26, 2014.

Next up is a major score for Uptown: the reigning Tony Award winner for best play, Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike. Christopher Durang’s farce — which parodies the tragic-comic plays of Anton Chekov — starred David Hyde Pierce and Sigourney Weaver during its initial Broadway run. Uptown’s version runs February 14-March 9, 2014.

Pageant follows, probably bringing with it a built-in audience that enjoyed the interactive show the last time Uptown produced it (as one of its first shows). Staged like a real pageant, the audience votes on the winner from among six contestants: Miss Deep South, Miss West Coast, Miss Great Plains, Miss Bible Belt, Miss Industrial Northeast and Miss Texas. Oh, and all the contestants are men. Runs March 28-April 13, 2014.

After the successful collaboration between Uptown and the Turtle Creek Chorale that resulted with last season’s concert version of Ragtime, this season we’ll be aurally treated to a concert version of Sweeney Todd. If you saw the Tim Burton/Johnny Depp movie, you know the show is about a murderous, vengeful barber in 19th century England. What you don’t know is that Stephen Sondheim’s famously tricky score is actually supposed to sound good. At Dallas City Performance Hall from April 24-26, 2014.

Nicky Silver’s dysfunctional family comedy The Lyons will get a regional premiere next May. The dark comedy played on Broadway in 2012, and critics lauded it for its familiar presence — a family airs their true feelings at the dying patriarch’s bedside — but unique Silver twist. The show runs from May 2-18, 2014.

A “naughty” musical import from London, Soho Cinders is a season bonus. Written by George Stiles, Anthony Drewe and Elliot Davis, the 2012 hit mixes politics with sex in a new take on the Cinderella story. Runs June 13-22, 2014.

In 2003, Hugh Jackman made Broadway feel all twitterpated when he starred in the musical The Boy From Oz, about the life of gay Australian singer/songwriter Peter Allen. As famous for his talent as for his marriage to Liza Minelli, Allen succumbed to AIDS in 1992, but his legacy lives on in this musical. Uptown will be the first theater granted regional rights to the show, which runs from July 25-August 10, 2014.

Miranda Lambert's 'Velvet Rodeo' wardrobe stars in new DFW exhibition

“Miranda Lambert: Velvet Rodeo” will open on November 7 at the National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame.

Country star Miranda Lambert is bringing a bit of Las Vegas glamour and bling to North Texas. Her one-of-a-kind wardrobe from her "Velvet Rodeo" residency will go on display at the National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame in Fort Worth when its new Icons Gallery opens November 7.

According to a release, the exhibition, called "Miranda Lambert: Velvet Rodeo," was created in collaboration with Lambert, and will feature costumes from the singer's Las Vegas residency, which ran from September 2022 to April 2024.

Lambert said her inspiration came from an earlier visit to the Fort Worth museum, where she spotted historic Western pieces that she photographed and sent to her stylist, Tiffany Gifford. They combined those influences with the glitz of Elvis Presley's heyday to create the "Velvet Rodeo" wardrobe.

“Seeing these pieces now have a life beyond the stage as part of the Museum’s new Icons Gallery feels really full circle and special,” Lambert said in a statement.

Visitors will now have the opportunity to study garments usually seen in motion and under stage lights, appreciating the details that help transform clothing into an essential part of a performance.

The Icons Gallery is part of the Museum’s 16,000-square-foot expansion, which introduces new galleries and experiences that explore the accomplishments and influence of women of the West. The $19 million expansion features a new entrance facing Dickies Arena, new galleries including a photography gallery, an event space accommodating up to 250, and the new Cowgirl Carousel.

Lambert, who was inducted into the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame in 2021, is an active mounted shooting competitor and horsewoman, giving her a connection to the West that reaches beyond her music. "Velvet Rodeo" brings together Lambert's identity as a cowgirl and her creative expression as a performer.

“Miranda’s confidence, determination and independence make her a wonderful representative of the women we honor,” says Pat Riley, executive director of the National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame, in the release. “Opening our Icons Gallery with this collaboration celebrates her accomplishments while giving visitors a new way to connect with a cowgirl they know and admire.”

According to a museum spokesperson, the temporary exhibition will remain on display for at least one year; no specific end date was given.

In preparation for the expansion grand opening, the Cowgirl will be closed to the public beginning October 19 and will reopen November 7, with a members-only preview at 10 am and a public opening at noon.
