New York Daily News: One Bum Of An Opera

This may be the first time a La MaMa show has gotten a write-up in the Sports section, but there are a lot of "firsts" with BUM PHILLIPS ALL-AMERICAN OPERA.

"[Director, Luke] Leonard says Gary Ramsey, who plays Bum, 'is a fantastic baritone,' and that Anlami Shaw will play Hall of Fame running back Earl Campbell. 'We thought a Bum Phillips musical felt like a gimmick,' says Leonard. 'It just seemed right, opera is that big, football is that big, to put the two together. It’s probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done.'”
