Elton John Next Fall Broadway Video Interview
Adding A Star Name To An Already Five Star Production
Next Fall received rave reviews off Broadway and when we recently interviewed the cast, no one knew that only a few days later Elton John would be announced as a producer for the show.
During our exclusive interview with Phil Berk who is the President of the Hollywood Foreign Press, we discussed how Hollywood has had such a big impact on Broadway. Berk argued that the current economics of Broadway dictate a big name is needed to star in a show to be successful.
Some worried, that while Next Fall told a very strong and important story, the show may not get deserved attention and audiences because of the lack of household name star power.
Elton John fixed this issue by becoming involved with Next Fall, something we think is very noble and kind, of one of the most successful music artists in the world. Tonight we had the chance to interview John. Watch the video above to see why he wanted to be a producer for Next Fall.

Kudos to Depp, then, that he still generates another memorable, albeit this time one-dimensional, on screen persona. He provides his Hatter with plenty of lovable eccentricities and rough edges, all the more noteworthy considering the non-existent depth to which the material affords him. He’ll certainly be a hit with the kids. The rest of the cast are unpredictable in their output: Aussie newcomer Wasikowska overdoes it as the titular protagonist, Hathaway’s saccharine White Queen grates on the nerves and the opaque Glover is unbearably boring as Stayne; whilst Carter’s malevolent Red Queen is a hoot, Lucas induces a laugh or two as Tweedledee and Tweedledum, Rickman oozes noble charisma as the Blue Caterpillar and Paul Whitehouse’s March Hare steals every single scene he is in.
