I’ve expressed my passion for art house cinema on this board before, but I want to say that I truly hope this show encourages people to check out the films it is based on. The Criterion Collection beautifully restored and distributed both films and they are very much worth watching. They also have Smiles of a Summer Night, the film A Little Night Music is based upon. Check them all out. :)

For the most part, BAM isn't a producing house, but a presenting one. I know because I was a part of a project in development in it's spaces and they were overjoyed to have people there making something, since usually everything that comes through is a tour and they need at most one rehearsal.

Confirmation from her Instagram: Diamond is Fritz. Assuming that she's the lefty little sister referenced in the article.

The Bunuel films are on my September viewing list, before the commentary starts after the first preview (even though I won’t see Here We Are until mid-October). This show has finally given me the impetus to see these two famous movies, so that’s a plus regardless of how the stage production turns out. The only Bunuel film I have seen is Belle de Jour.
And I should catch Smiles of a Summer Night at some point.

Belle de Jour is so wild and shocking, what a fabulous film. A great entry into the world of Buñuel.

From the character list on page 2:
FRITZ – Female (cis, trans, or non-binary), 25-35, any ethnicity. A political rebel from upper-middle-class Greenwich. Angry at the world. Lonely. Sulky. Self-Starved. Strong singer. Role requires vocal flexibility ranging from chatty belt to lyricism.
She also tagged several cast members in a photo from the original film, if anyone is familiar enough with it to determine the counterpart characters they're playing.

I would guess this means that Amber and Rachel are each one of the named middle-aged women (Marrianne and Claudia) with Tracie being "Woman" and that Bobby and Steven are two of the named men (my guess is Bobby is Rafael and Steven is Paul). David is not on Instagram, but Dennis and Jeremy are. So, I'd imagine David is Leo (as there's an untagged male character on the right) and then Dennis and Jeremy are each one of the Man and Bishop. That leaves Francois Battiste as the Colonel and Jin Ha as the soldier.

I’m debating going into this blind or watching both films beforehand.

It was at the Union Square B&N talkback (for Look I Made a Hat, I think) that Stephen said the one production of his he would love to revisit again was Joe Mantello’s Roundabout production of Assassins so I know this vehicle is in the right hands (the emails featured in the article only make that point clearer).
With that said, I’ve watched the source material over the long weekend and can’t help thinking this would a great piece for Ivo van Hove. Perhaps abroad or a decade down the line, but what an explosive combination.

I think watching these films beforehand will enrich the experience for everyone. If you aren’t well versed in the world of art house cinema, just let the films unfold. Don’t try too hard to “get” or make sense of them. They are highly surreal and bizarre, so it’s more about how the film makes you feel. Feel the humor, the irony, the absurdity. As I mentioned before, if you’re serious about diving in the world of Buñuel, check out Belle de Jour. it’s more accessible, it’s sexy, it’s fabulous. But if you just want to watch the films this musical is based on, watch The Exterminating Angel first. It’s a bit more accessible before things unfold into total surrealism. It’s in black and white and was shot in Mexico while Buñuel was living there in exile. Let me know if you have any other questions. :)

I watched both this weekend for the first time, and I have to respectfully disagree. I loved Discreet Charm and flew through it but I thought Angel tedious to the point of requiring multiple sittings. I’d previously seen the Adés opera Exterminating Angel at the Met and at Salzburg and loved it both times.
