I don't know how to say your last name, Javier Hoovier.
So you're in this Broadway touring of musical right, Yes.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
It's a musical version of the classic film Some Like
It Hot that starred Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, Jack Lemon
and they have taken the old story and revamped it
and sort of made it fresh for today's audience.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
So how has it changed about giving.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Any spoilers away. It's taken some of the problematic tropes
that maybe exists in the old film and it's sort
of embraced it in a new light. So yeah, and
brought it to the new audiences.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
So how long have you been with the company now?

The touring company we opened in September, okay, yeah, and
we're contracted for another year, but the show goes on
for a year after that. So you know, I'm very
excited to be presenting this show, especially here in Saint Louis.

who is the proprietor of the famous Hotel del Coronado,
which is in.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
San Diego where my brother lives. Yes.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Absolutely, And the show is set in the nineteen thirties
during Prohibition era, and I play a millionaire in that
time period who falls in love with one of the
characters in the show and really just opens everyone's heart
to acceptance and accepting who they are. So it's a
really special role. It's actually my favorite role that I've
ever played.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
That's a huge thing to say.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
It really is. And I don't say that lightly. I

with so many of the arts community here in Saint Louis,
the actors, directors, designers, This is such a wonderful city
for the arts. They explore it, they accept that, they
(02:15):
embrace it. So it's always a pleasure to come back
to Saint Louis.

I'm originally from LA. And people are more into the
arts here.

when you come to say this?

Speaker 3 (02:40):

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Now when you're touring all these different theaters, is the
Fabulous Fox one of the few that do that?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Uh? There are many theaters that do it, but not
so many with the history that the Fabulous Fox has.
You know, it's really one of the great roadhouses of
the country.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
I totally agree with you.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
I know, people that come for the first time go,
oh my gosh, factors, performers, artists, mean just it's it's incredible.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Yeah. Camp Usually theaters are really special in the lobby,
which of course the Fabulous Fox is, and most are.
But what's special about the Fox is that it's it's
even more special backstage. Yeah, that is that really brings
the history to it.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Well, I'm so glad that you're here. And for people
that know nothing about some like it hot nothing about
the Marilyn Monroe film. I know it's it's it's basically
song dance. It's spectacular numbers. But is it more a comedy?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Is it more?
Speaker 3 (04:24):
How would you expe it is one percent of comedy.
You will be laughing hysterically. So just a quick little
blurb on the show. It is a It's about two
brothers who witness a mob killing and they have to
go on the lamb and disguise themselves as women in
an all girl band and from their high jinks and zuits.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Yeah, And I don't want to give away I remember
in the movie. I think they both kind of like
the same girl.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Well it's a little now. This one has been updated, okay,
so some of those storylines are just broadened the little
in our version. I like it, Yes, and it brings
it into the new world.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I love you.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
So if you love the old film, you will absolutely
love this new version.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
And if you are new to it completely even more so.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Yes, absolutely Yeah. Many people actually experience this story for
the first time with our musical and they end up
loving it. So it's great to bring this old classic
story to a whole new generation.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
