	The Wild Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Wild Party, a classic epic poem, is Joseph Moncure March's first published work.
		Upon its 1928 publication the poem was widely banned, first in Boston, for having content viewed as wild as the titular party.
		The Wild Party has been adapted into a poorly-received movie, in 1975, and two stage musicals.

	The Wild Party (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		The Wild Party is about a flirty co-ed attending a college where no one ever studies, and her romantic conquest of a stuffy anthropology professor, played by Frederic March.
		Ironically, the glacial pace and ghastly artifice of Madame X is greatly inferior by modern standards to the inept enthusiasm of The Wild Party.
		That Arzner directed The Wild Party may be another indication that the studio felt Bow's sound career was doomed.

	New York State Writers Institute - The Wild Party Film Notes
		Likewise, The Wild Party could have been a conventional "flapper film" in which a giddy young society woman momentarily strays from her accepted social role, but then recants her independence for marriage and family.
		The Wild Party’s possibilities as a proto-feminist text have been overwhelmed by the other narrative that is told about it: it was Clara Bow’s first sound film, and the experience, according to her biographer, David Stenn, was terrible.
		Under the tutelage of the patient Arzner, The Wild Party is testament to what might have been for Bow, had she been allowed to mature as an actor.

	Night people: Surreal illumination fuels The Wild Party
		Instead, their Wild Party is a kind of nightmare set to music, a parade of bizarre characters and jarring incidents meant to evoke the racial, sexual, and intellectual ferment of New York in the 20s.
		Burrs is a Jewish singer in the Al Jolson mode, who performs in flface, while Queenie is, as the lyrics note, "sexually ambitious." Among the guests are the "ambisextrous" playboy Jackie; the lesbian stripper Madeleine True; Sally, her drug-addled girlfriend; and the D'Armano Brothers, a pair of fl, gay, incestuous songwriters.
		The Wild Party begins with stylized theatrical lighting (complete with footlights) for the opening number, then moves toward a flat, bright look for a scene of domestic discord between Queenie and Burrs, played, like a burlesque sketch, in front of a cartoonish drop.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on The Wild Party (LaChiusa) - Original Cast at Epinions.com
		Her "Welcome to My Party" is a restless, driving invitation which perfectly characterizes this selfish but charming young woman.
		You want to scream at the creators that you don't care that much about the pugilist and his wife, or the lesbian stripper and her comatose girlfriend, or the ambitious producers.
		The D'Armano brothers, for example, don't just sing about who they are- they are an incestuous brother act who perform their songs at the party, songs which tell us all we need to know about them, comment subtly on the action, and function as pastiche numbers on their own.

	Mandy Patinkin - The Wild Party
		For all that, "The Wild Party" is the most exciting mess I've seen in a long time.
		The Broadway "Party" begins at a manic, feverish pitch; the sight of Patinkin's Burrs in Jolson-like flface is wonderfully unsettling, but a briefly topless Collette (more appropriate to burlesque than to vaudeville) doing her thing amid a thicket of show-biz sleaze makes it hard for the party itself to suck us in.
		What this "Party" needed was a fully staged tryout to find itself, either at its originating theater (the Public) or out of town.

	A Curtainp Book Review, The Wild Party
		The steamy, jazz age verse novel is a feast of stunning imagery that evokes the innocence and decadence in a single wild night of partying by a group of high living low lifes.
		This unusual double party is hardly cause for rejoicing for the principals involved in each enterprise.
		The MTC version which has begun previewing has brought a rash of comments from "early bird" viewers, but I won't repeat any of them here since the purpose of previews is to make last-minute changes and the show seen during the pre-opening period, especially early on, is likely to be different from the "official" version.

	Theater News - Reviews: The Wild Party -
		The Wild Party closed on Broadway without recouping or earning any real recognition for LaChiusa's score or the book that he wrote with Wolfe, but the Blank production proves the show's vast entertainment potential and stark emotional power.
		Queenie and Burrs invite to their party people who, much as they do, wrap themselves in illusions in order to survive the everyday world; their affectations might be makeup (cosmetic or burnt cork), cocaine, the unwavering belief in one's undying popular appeal, or even dishonesty about one's age.
		The band, billed here as "The Wild Party Jazz Orchestra," is led by David O; though only five pieces, a third of the full complement required to play Bruce Coughlin's original orchestration, the reduction is so superb that you'll miss few of the score's nuances.

		The Wild Party takes its inspiration and its lineage from Prince and Sondheim, but also from Brecht and Weill and such American popular revue entertainment’s (of which Wolfe is a master) as vaudeville and the flface minstrel show.
		The alienation, ambivalence and disorientation of this party form the mask of the fractured, American, postmodern identity.
		The Wild Party is equal parts Threepenny Opera, Gypsy, and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolf?.

	The Wild Party , a CurtainUp review
		Host, hostess and invited guest at this party are all lost souls, their go-go-go dancing and singing more frantic than genuinely joyous.
		By creating an actual vaudeville as an overture to the party Burrs and Queenie throw as a pick-me-up for their troublesome relationship, George C. Wolfe, clever showman that he is, has managed to be true to the March poem and also made his orgy a symbol for the end of the good times for vaudeville.
		The party that follows is at times too frenetic, but then again, we are witness to an event that turns into an orgy and a tragedy.

	The Wild Party by Joseph Moncure March, illustrated by Art Spiegelman
		The story of a wild Prohibition-era Manhattan party is told in syncopated verse inspired by the jazz rhythms of the day.
		And though it depicts a down and dirty time, the verse is sophisticated as Cole Porter and the design is ultrastylish and tres moderne, the synergy of words and pictures as exuberant as Pull My Daisy.
		The Wild Party is the perfect companion to The Great Gatsby, capturing as it does the spirit of the one party where Nick Carraway ties one on.

	The Wild Party (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Adapted from the 1928 book-length poem by Joseph Moncure Marsh, "The Wild Party" (a West Coast premiere) captures the sights and sounds of a bygone Prohibition era with a nod to the present one.
		All is set in a Manhattan apartment (the tasteful set of Aaron Francis and the authentic costumes of Dana Peterson) shared by Queenie and Burrs (the absolutely wonderful Valarie Pettiford and Eric Anderson), a vaudeville dancer and vaudeville clown.
		Within this array of characters is the story of Queenie and abusive, Pagliacci-like Burrs, and the anything-for-kicks Kate (the first-rate Jane Lanier) and her boy-toy gigolo boyfriend, Black (the able and handsome Innis Casey).

	The Wild Party
		His romance with Stella, and his role in saving her from a group of rape-minded drunks at a roadhouse, sets in motion a series of incidents which, thanks to the meddling of a jealous student, cause scandal at the college.
		Technically, The Wild Party is as uneasy as just about every other film produced in that turbulent year of adjustment to sound.
		Aside from the innovations it explores, The Wild Party is ultimately an awkward, but entertaining portrait of the naiveté and spirit of the flapper girl and the excitement and pitfalls of the increasingly fast-paced society rushing around her.

	Andrew Lippa - The Wild Party
		Adapted from a book-length poem written in and about the Roaring Twenties, THE WILD PARTY tells the story of one wild evening in the Manhattan apartment shared by Queenie and Burrs, a vaudeville dancer and a vaudeville clown.
		In a relationship marked by vicious behavior and recklessness (mirroring the time in which they live), they decide to throw a party to end all parties.
		Capturing the sound of a bygone era with a nod to the present one, he makes us realize that moral decadence is not only limited to our past.

		I am giving "Wild Party" 5 stars for a few reasons.
		Most significantly is that this is the version that James Ivory had submitted to the studio, which then recut it for distribution through American International.
		"INSERTS!" Same period....] HOWEVER, this Party is somewhat inspired by the Fatty Arbuckle event of the Roaring 20ties and fortunately does not follow the same route, but it is close, and naturally everyone associated or invited to the Party is affected by the outcome in one or another way....

	The Wild Party (1975) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		The Wild Party is probably based on several wild parties and scandals which took place during Hollywood's silent era when movie stars could do almost anything they wanted behind closed doors without having to worry too much of exposure as there were no real tabloid magazines at the time.
		James Coco plays a washed-up, silent movie comic who throws a wild party at his home, thinking it will save his career but doesn't count on the extent of depravity of some of his guests.
		At times, the film is highly realistic and makes you wonder about current Hollywood parties and what really goes on between co-stars.

		The story concerns sex, drink and violence at a debauched Jazz Age party populated by seedy showfolk, gangsters and slumming playboys.
		Best of all, Lippa discovered that March's dark yarn about a raucous show business party was in public domain, meaning the copyright had lapsed or not been renewed, which meant he did not need to pay a royalty or get permission to use it.
		Lippa's Wild Party had previous readings by MTC and the O'Neill Theatre Center in 1997 and then MTC artistic director Lynne Meadow OK'd the workshop.

		The Wild Party is Off-Loop Theater at its best as 13 actors and seven musicians explode off a small storefront stage in a profusion of music and dance.
		The Bohemian Theatre Ensemble can’t make a dime with such a big show in a 50-seat theater, but the audience is the beneficiary of their extravagance.
		Based on a book-length poem of the 1920s, The Wild Party is a tale of sex, drugs and Charleston in the New York apartment of Queenie and Burrs, a showbiz couple.
