ARTIST BIO:

TODD DUNCAN IN “LOST IN THE STARS”-

In 1949, Duncan was offered the lead role of Rev. Stephen Kumalo in the musical, Lost in the Stars. The music was written by Kurt Weill, with book and lyrics by Maxwell Anderson. Based on Alan Paton’s novel, Cry, the Beloved Country, the story was set in the apartheid-governed South Africa of that era. A number of up-and-coming and established African American performers were also engaged for the production, including William Marshall, and Inez Matthews. The musical opened on Broadway on October 30, 1949, at the Music Box Theatre and ran for 281 performances, closing the following July. Duncan’s performance in the show, including singing the title song, “Lost in the Stars,” garnered both the Tony and New York Drama Critics awards in 1950.


“LOST IN THE STARS” INFO-

Summary

Lost In The Stars was Kurt Weill's last score for Broadway. He personally considered it to be an opera and the critics agreed with him - it was performed by the New York City Opera in 1958. Set in South Africa, it tells the story of Absalom, the son of a Negro teacher, who is driven to the murder of a white man in a desperate bid to provide for his wife and child. Arrested and condemned to hang he is visited by his father, who departs in despair. Before his son is executed, the murdered man's father comes to the preacher to offer compassion and understanding instead of hatred and retaliation. The powerful score includes "Who'll Buy?", "Trouble Man" and the title song.
