  MUSA / Stephen Sondheim
Follies represents a unique point in the history of the Broadway musical as it looks both backward and forward: backward by referring to songs and composers of musical theater's rich history in precisely observed musical pastiche; forward by using these materials evocative of the past to comment on the limits and dangers of such nostalgia.
Stephen Sondheim's music and lyrics are interwoven with James Goldman's book to allow for study of the work as performed on Broadway in 1971.
Publishing the music in full score (a rarity for musicals) allows for a full appreciation of both its detail and Jonathan Tunick's orchestrations.

  SBS Television - What's on
Jonathan Porcelli, Tunick’s project manager, says this project was a pivotal moment for the artist, to get away from being “the criminal or street urchin of art”.
The best reaction Tunick gets anywhere in the world is in Melbourne and he is amazed by the Melbournian response to his request for bodies to be used as living art.
The eventual number of people is over 4000, all of whom gleefully shed their clothes before an overwhelmed Tunick and pose around the city, with one of the resulting photographs a striking “body scape” of pink flesh winding along one of the Yarra’s river banks.

The film is stolen by Jonathan Morris's wry-witted role as the handsome rogue with tresses and a heart that is not all bad.
As a carnival arrives to the sleepy town both fathers give money to a magician named El Gallo (Jonathan Morris) to stage a mock abduction of Luisa, which should allow Matt to come to her rescue and be looked upon by her as a hero and end the feud between the neighbors.
It is well-played by Jonathan Morris, as he promises to take her along on the carnival and gets her to give him as a present her mother's necklace.

The difficulty, as I'm sure Jonathan would agree, is that Steve often writes for pianistic figures that don't always work directly for orchestral textures, so that involves some re-thinking.
In the last couple of shows, Jonathan and I have not been given large bands in the pit.
Whereas Jonathan might be seen as an Expressionist painter, adding the perfect, controlled touches, I might be seen either as a sculptor starting with a huge block and whittling it down or, as Jackson Pollack, just piling it on until it's right.

Even the Roundabout, which gets away with paying its actors less than the usual Broadway rate because it's a not-for-profit organization, couldn't bring itself to spring for more than 14 musicians in the pit when it did Follies.
Of course, this view is not shared by Jonathan Tunick, who says: "I've spent my whole life trying to contribute to the theater, using the orchestra as my medium, so it's disappointing to me that the powers in the theater today see this medium as dispensable.

 Talkin' Broadway Review: Nine
If only one lesson is passed down from this theatre season, it should be this: An accomplished director does not necessarily make a good director of musicals.
Joe Mantello proved it with A Man of No Importance, Jonathan Kent with Man of La Mancha, and now David Leveaux has taken a crack at it with Nine, putting a harsh chill on the previously hot-blooded 1982 musical.
Yeston's score remains wonderful, however, even with reduced orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick, and the textures of instruments in the pit (musically directed with robust precision by Kevin Stites) with womens' voices remains thrilling.
