Jedną szesnastu hektolitry napoju nawet irytująco otrzymał oscara dla tropy to those familiar with the musical that opened on Broadway 1977. Many of the songs have changed, for instance, and some have been excised completely for new pop tunes. But there's at least one constant behind the scenes: Bill Berloni, the animal trainer, who, his words, created the role of Berloni was apprentice at the Goodspeed Opera House Connecticut when had its world premiere back 1976. As Berloni explained to The Goodspeed's executive director, Price, needed someone he could trick into training the dog, preferably for nothing. After Price offered Berloni his Card and a chance to be a production, Berloni took the gig-and adopted the original for $7 at a shelter the day before the dog was to be euthanized. When the show was headed to Broadway, Berloni got a call from the office of the late Mike Nichols-a producer of the original Broadway production-asking if he'd train again. Berloni said yes-and when the musical opened of 1977, Berloni suddenly found himself a world-famous animal trainer at the tender age of 20. Nearly 40 years later, he's still training Sandys. The latest: The canine of the Quvenzhané Wallis movie, 8-year-old mix named Berloni talked with about training 40 scruffy mutts over the last three decades for the role and how he came to the latest movie. The original was patient with Berloni The original -who went by the name of, well, -lived to be 16 years old, and Berloni described the dog as his best friend for the first half of his adult life. Both of them were new to their jobs. He would be very patient with mistakes, Berloni explained. If I had to teach him something new and he wasn't getting it, he would just sort of look at me. the Awards asked if would come and present the award for Best Choreography, requiring the dog to give envelope to Ben Vereen. Since was a terrier rather than a retriever, Berloni suggested that a piece of string be tied around the envelope could hold it his mouth. They practiced and practiced, but just wasn't nailing it. He was probably getting it right half the time, Berloni said. that moment I was like, do I really want to go on national TV front of peers and fail? I put him the wings on stage right, he continued, and I said, please just do this for me.' I was sort of just saying a silent prayer. And he did it. He carried it out amidst cheers and orchestra and all of that stuff. But everything didn't always go smoothly According to Berloni, a dog's performance is often more reliable than a human performance. The dog's performances are ultimately much more consistent, because if they know what they are doing, they know there's a treat at the end. Why make a mistake? he explains. Still, some mishaps happen. one memorable instance, the original vomited on stage. I was on fourth of the original production, Smith, and came out. She started singing ‘Tomorrow' and he sat up, Berloni said. She knew to hold on to his collar, and I saw him heaving. I was trying to get her attention from the wings to say let him go, but she was thinking, whatever he does I have to hold on. She didn't recognize the signs of what was coming. she held him, and he vomited right there. Berloni didn't do the other two movies Though he explained that he came close both instances, Berloni did not work on either the 1982 Huston movie or the 1999 version directed for television. Berloni's Mike Nichols connection, though did help him land his role on the recent film. Berloni worked on Nichols's film He told the producer of 's War, Costas, to hire me, he explained. At first she was reluctant to bring a New trainer out to Hollywood, and then once I came out and we worked together she was very fond of work. when was given I was the top trainer on her list for it. Berloni was thrilled to finally get the chance to help bring to the screen, and he liked the way that the new version took on the story. Being a purist, I was not fond of the first two versions of the movie because they took our play and made changes to make it better,
