Advice and Songs on Death Row, but No Easy Answers
When a serious new American opera is embraced by audiences, its a rare and encouraging achievement. Since its premiere at the San Francisco Opera in the fall of 2000, Dead Man Walking, with music by Jake Heggie and a libretto by Terrence McNally, has been picked up by companies across the country. The elaborate staging presented by the New York City Opera on Friday night and directed by Leonard Foglia is a co-production with the Cincinnati Opera, Austin Lyric Opera, Michigan Opera Theater, Pittsburgh Opera, Baltimore Opera and Opera Pacific. As at the premiere, the audience responded with an enthusiastic standing ovation. That said, when the score to a new American opera is as uneven as Mr. Heggies, the popularity of the work is a more problematic matter. The creators set themselves a daunting task in making an opera out of the compelling, self-effacing 1993 book by Sister Helen Prejean about her work as spiritual adviser to death row inmates, also the source for the devastating and powerfully restrained 1995 film directed by Tim Robbins. Of course, they are also banking on the popularity of the film to bring attention to their work, which it has..

WALKING DEAD Producer Hopes to Revive Writing
The executive producer of AMCs The Walking Dead, Frank Darabont, is shaking up his writing staff as he prepares for a second season of the post-apocalyptic zombie series. Some fans fretted about a report on Deadline.com Tuesday evening that Mr. Darabont had dismissed all of the writers of the series, which has enjoyed a ratings surge this fall. The series has its first season finale on Sunday night. The Web site said that Mr. Darabont, a veteran of feature film, was thinking about forgoing a writers room entirely for season two, relying on freelance writers instead..

A Star Mezzo Role Finds a Mezzo Star to Sing It
THE American mezzo-soprano Susan Graham has for the better part of a decade impressed audiences with her creamy singing and chiseled characterizations, sharing the stage with stars like Renee Fleming, Thomas Hampson and Dawn Upshaw, and consistently earning reviews as strong as theirs. In December, Ms. Graham gained new prominence in John Harbisons Great Gatsby at the Metropolitan Opera. Now she is ready for her close-up, at the center of another new work, Jake Heggies Dead Man Walking, which opens on Saturday at the San Francisco Opera. Dead Man Walking, with a libretto by the playwright Terrence McNally, is based on Sister Helen Prejeans book of the same name, which also inspired a 1995 movie that earned the actress Susan Sarandon an Oscar. It tells of Sister Helens attempts to save the soul of a murderer sentenced to death..

You, Too, Can Be a Part Of a Zombie Apocalypse
It takes a very special kind of person to not only appreciate a narrative about apocalypse-by-zombie but also to actually want to take part in that apocalypse. And soon there will be an event for those fans that lets them play a role in the simulated downfall of civilization or, if they wish, contribute to it. On Wednesday the publishing imprint behind the popular undead comic-book series The Walking Dead, which spawned the hit AMC drama of the same title, said it would introduce a new live event, The Walking Dead: Escape, at Petco Park in San Diego this summer. (Fans of the last-place San Diego Padres, who play in the park, may argue that theyve seen enough zombielike behavior there already.). Publishers of the comic-book series The Walking Dead, which spawned the hit AMC drama of the same title, invite fans to participate in The Walking Dead: Escape, a live event scheduled to take place in San Diego during the annual Comic-Con International festival.

Lawsuit Is Filed Over The WALKING DEAD
The Walking Dead series has been a dominating presence on our graphic books best-seller lists for some time - the most recent trade paperback, Vol. 15, is still No. 1 on that list for this week - but where some of the money from its sales should go is now in dispute. The series writer and creator Robert Kirkmans original collaborator, the artist Tony Moore, filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday. Mr. Moore claims that Mr. Kirkman has not shared the previously agreed-upon amount of royalty or other payments for the properties they created together, which include The Walking Dead, Brit and Battle Pope. The complaint also alleges that, in 2005, Mr. Kirkman fraudulently persuaded Mr. Moore to assign his rights over to a limited liability corporation controlled by Mr. Kirkman, and that he has not provided access to profit statements for the properties. The lawsuit is ridiculous, Mr. Kirkman said. We each had legal representation seven years ago, and now he is violating the same contract he initiated and approved, and he wants to misrepresent the fees he was paid and continues to be paid for the work he was hired to do. Tony regularly receives payment for the work he did as penciler, inker and for gray tones on the first six issues of The Walking Dead comic series, and he receives royalties for the TV show. To assert otherwise is simply incorrect.. Artist Tony Moore, original collaborator of graphic novel that spawned AMCs The Walking Dead television series, files lawsuit against writer and creator Robert Kirkman for not sharing the previously agreed-upon amount of royalty or other payments for the properties they created together.

Review/Theater; Demons Living Within
In a variation on the opening lines of Anna Karenina, a character in Keith Currans Walking the Dead announces that all cultural stereotypes are equally infuriating. The play, a dark cul-de-sac of a comedy, bears witness to that mock Tolstoyan statement, but not without falling victim to fallacies of Mr. Currans own creation, including a melodramatic ending. Walking the Dead, which opened last night at the Circle Repertory Company, is a flawed work that manages to shed humor -- if not a clear light -- on some of the more bizarre recesses of the human psyche. At the outset, the playwright warns theatergoers to be prepared for an outrageous ride, a loop-the-loop about transsexualism and other less radical forms of emotional surgery. The play begins with all the characters facing the audience and jabbering simultaneously about a person who has recently died. She is, we soon find out, a lesbian who becomes a transsexual and suffers the gravest of consequences.
