Golden Age
Composers Richard Rodgers
and Lorenz Hart adapted
Shakespeare's The Comedy of
Errors into the 1938 musical
comedy The Boys From Syracuse.
It was the first musical written
based on a Shakespeare play —
and was chosen for personal rea-
sons.
In the original Broadway pro-
duction, Larry Hart's younger
brother, a comedian named
Teddy Hart, teamed up with a
look-alike comedian named
Jimmy Savo to play the twin
Dromios. "I knew nepotism
should be
frowned on,"
Rodgers said
at the time,
"but I also
knew this
was
an
Rodgers and
inspired
Hart
idea."
Written during the Golden Age
of song writing, the score
includes classic songs like
"Falling in Love With Love" and
"The Shortest Day of the Year."
"The score adds a depth to the
show that standard comedy
doesn't have," said Brent Wagner,
associate professor and chair of
the University of Michigan
Musical Theatre Department.
"Mistaken identity is one of the
oldest forms of comedy. And
George Abbot (who wrote the
show's book) was known for his
fast-paced comedy style."
Wagner directs the depart-
ment's production of The Boys
From Syracuse 7:30 p.m. Thurs-
day, 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday
and 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 13-16, at
the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre
in Ann Arbor. Tickets are $16-

Streisand To Spiel
BARBRA STREISAND is
reportedly writing an autobiog-
raphy that will be very candid
and "set the record straight."
The famous singer often
posts her personal opinions on
her official Web site,
barbarastreisand.com . Still,
Streisand has been a mega-star
for so long, she must have some
previously untold great stories
to tell.
Jewish Name?
At first, I thought actor
Nicholas Cage (who isn't
Jewish) had gone out on a limb
when I read he had named his
newborn son "Kai-El Coppola
Cage." But the more I thought
about it, the more I realized
Cage is right in the mainstream.
"Kai-El" is just part of the
wave that has made biblical-
Hebrew names like Sarah,
Joshua, Jacob, and Hannah
among the most popular
American baby names.
"Kai-Er as comic book fans
know, is Superman's birth name
from the planet Krypton —
before he was given the WASPy
"Clark Kent."
Back in the 1930s, two Jewish
teenagers, JOE SCHUSTER and
JERRY SIEGEL, created Super-
man and gave him a birth
name that includes "El," one of
the Hebrew words that refers to
God. l
