More curiosity about the Jerry Herman Memorial
Posted by: aleck 03:00 pm EST 02/16/20

Maybe this has already been answered, but looking over the Times coverage of the invitation-only event I'm curious if Bette Midler and Joel Grey were there. Or there and not performing?

I assume it is against Equity's rules to have this event filmed because the performers would not received payment/residuals/royalties. Am I right? I would be exciting for those of us who were not invited to see the wonderful event.

Equity has nothing to do with it. The reason it was not filmed is that it was a memorial, not an entertainment.

As I noted in an earlier thread on this topic, memorials are sometimes filmed. The Performing Arts Library at Lincoln Center (where I work) holds videos of memorial tributes to Bob Fosse, Irving Berlin, Helen Hayes, Wendy Wasserstein, Kim Stanley, and a number of other theater luminaries. These videos can be viewed in the TOFT screening room. However, the Jerry Herman memorial was not taped, or at least, not taped for TOFT.

Those that were not invited to the Memorial all were let in before it started. An orderly line of fans were directed to the mezzanine.

It is unlikely any of the performers were under an equity contract for that day.

It is more problematic from a music licensing angle.

Such recordings of other memorials have been made, but not usually made public.

I didn’t see anything in the Times about the memorial. There were stories in Variety and the NY Stage review by Steve Suskin.
I didn’t see Midler or Grey in the audience.

Bette was not there and Joel Grey was at the Lewis Cullman Memorial at the NYPL.
