The Harvard Krokodiloes

Henry Fienning in Memoriam

On July 30, 2007, we lost a member of the Krokodiloe family. Henry C. Fienning passed away at his family home in Sumter, South Carolina. He was twenty-four years old.

From “boy b’boy” to Bat Boy to Broadway Blonde

Now on Broadway! Tony Award co-nominees Larry O’Keefe ’91 and his partner/wife, Nell Benjamin ’93, have a bona fide Broadway hit, as the writers of the music and lyrics to Legally Blonde, The Musical. The show opened on April 29, 2007, at the fabled Palace Theater, has been playing to packed houses ever since. The show was nominated for seven Tony Awards, including Best Score, and ten Drama Desk Awards, including Best Lyrics, Best Music and Best Musical. Brendan Lemon of the Financial Times raved that it was “Far and away, the most enjoyable new show on Broadway.” Clive Barnes of the New York Post gushed, “An awesome wattage of girl power!” Word, Clive. Of course, Larry is no stranger to the musical theater scene; his show Bat Boy: The Musical received rave reviews during its Off-Broadway run a few years ago.

Deep in Pusey

If they hadn’t been discovered in a rare office cleanup by Steve Dostart ’86, the posters, photos, notes, and souvenirs of the Kroks might today be entertaining only the dust bunnies and rodentia of the 12 Holyoke basement. Due to Steve’s vision and astonishingly tireless efforts, the Krok Archive is now a permanent part of the Pusey Library — and is festooning the pages of this website. See a list of the Pusey holdings here.

Maestro Profundo

Peter Mansfield ’76, in addition to holding the record for most arrangements written for the Kroks, and most personal nicknames, is one of the Boston area’s most prolific musicians. He teaches in the Musical Theater and Piano departments of the Boston Conservatory of Music, and in his spare time has arranged and conducted for the Boston Pops, the National Dance Institute, and the symphony orchestras of Hartford, Milwaukee, Vancouver, and New Hampshire. Among many honors, his name appears as Music Supervisor on every Hasty Pudding show poster hanging in the hallway to the NYC Harvard Club men’s room. (For more, visit Peter's website.)

Ask Frank Cabot to prove he’s a Krok ...

... and he’ll show you his green thumb. We call him Sir Frank now — and not only because he was one of the founders of the Kroks. Our own Frank Cabot ’49 was made a Chevalier of the National Order of Quebec in 2000 for doing what he does best — creating world-class gardens. “Stonecrop,” his 63-acre summer-home paradise in Cold Spring, NY, became a non-profit public garden in 1992. A former chairman of the NY Botanical Garden, Frank founded the nonprofit Garden Conservancy in 1989. The organization, now 6000 members strong, sponsors a program through which hundreds of private gardens in 28 states open to the public each season. Les Quatre Vents, Frank’s private garden in Quebec, covers more than 20 acres. His book, The Greater Perfection, an illustrated account of the making of the garden, was the 2002 American Horticultural Society Book of the Year. And as we learned at the 60th-reunion banquet, for a plant man he gives a hell of a speech!

Ah, Paris ...

Former Krok Musical Director Paris Barclay ’79 is an Emmy-winning television director and producer, having directed episodes of “The West Wing,” “NYPD Blue,” “ER,” “House M.D.,” and “Lost,” among others. He has also served as co-executive producer for the programs “Cold Case” and “City of Angels.” Paris has even appeared in front of the camera on episodes of “Will and Grace” and “Dirt.” On February 4, 2007, Paris was honored by the Director’s Guild of America with the prestigious Robert B. Aldrich Service Award, which recognizes “extraordinary service to the Director’s Guild of America and its Membership.”

The Next Harry Potter?

As reported here in a recent New York Times feature, Scholastic Inc. hopes to replicate the wild success of its Harry Potter series with an upcoming series of children’s books called The 39 Clues, written by a “Dream Team” of popular children’s book writers, including Peter Lerangis ’77. Peter has had a long career corrupting young minds — er, writing books for middle-grade and young-adult readers, which have sold more than 2.7 million copies. Recent works include the historical novel Smiler’s Bones, named one of the New York Public Library’s Best Books for the Teen Age in 2006, the Spy X mystery series, and the Drama Club series. He lives in NYC with his wife, singer/songwriter Tina deVaron, and their sons Nick and Joe.

What do the Kroks and Britney have in common?

Ryan Leslie ’98 was recently profiled in New York Magazine as one of hip-hop’s rising stars (read the article here). In the past few years he has produced songs for New Edition, Britney Spears, and up-and-coming singer Cassie. Ryan has also toured Europe as a solo artist, though we don’t know if he performed “Too Darn Hot,” one of his solos while in the Kroks of ’96. (For more, check out Ryan's website.)

Stu Knows Conducting

His performance at Carnegie Hall is one highlight of an amazing career. Stu Malina ’84 is Music Director of the Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra), and he's conducted the symphony orchestras of Pittsburgh, Greensboro, Charleston, and Indianapolis; the Eastern Music Festival; Nashville Symphony Pops; and Opera Delaware … to name a few. Stu is also an accomplished pianist, having performed throughout the USA, the Netherlands, and with the acclaimed Piccolo Spoleto Contemporary Music Festival. His Tony-award-winning collaboration with Billy Joel has continued, too: recently Stu conducted the world premiere of Mr. Joel's "Symphonic Fantasies for Piano and Orchestra." After graduating from Harvard, Stu received degrees from the Yale School of Music and Curtis Institute of Music. Is Stu a good musician? Probably. (Check out his website, just to confirm.)

Leonard Bernstein writes for the Kroks...

In 1981 Honorary Krokodiloe Leonard Bernstein ’39 penned the song "Screwed On Wrong" for the Krokodiloes.

Performed here by the Kroks of 1983.

Kroks Turn Sixty

In March of 2006, the Harvard Krokodiloes celebrated 60 years of harmony and brotherhood.

During a weekend extravaganza, Kroks from every era and all around the world gathered in Cambridge, MA to sing, dine, and toast 60 years of song.

Kroks of ’82 with Bernstein

George Overholser ’82, Frank Chaiken ’83, and Gordon Bloom ’82 discuss the finer points of "Doot'n Dooba" with Maestro Leonard Bernstein...

I Can Eat Planets

Check out Miles Fisher (aka James Fisher ’06) doing you-know-who in Superhero Movie, a turn that has gone viral on the Web and mainstream TV and caused Variety to gush that Miles is “so good maybe the sequel should be Tom Cruise Movie.”

You can see the larger Youtube version here.

Hollywood Howard

Howard Cohen ’81 and his partner, Eric D’Arbeloff, are the founders of Roadside Attractions, a company that acquires and distributes independent films. Some of their properties include Super Size Me and Amazing Grace. Howard and Eric were recently profiled in the Hollywood Reporter’s annual list of the most influential people in independent film (read the article here).

First International Krok Tour

In 1964, the Harvard Krokodiloes made the journey to India to share their music and culture with the world. What began as an experiment in international ambassadorship has turned into an annual summer ritual that spans over twenty cities and six continents.

Behind the scenes in Tinsel Town

Stan Wlodkowski ’79 is one of Hollywood’s busiest producers of thoughtful mainstream films, counting among his many projects Longtime Companion, Ethan Frome, Winchell, American Beauty, One-Hour Photo, The Singing Detective, Seraphim Falls, In the Valley of Elah, and the upcoming Push. He also served as co-executive producer on the TV series “Rome.”

Beer Is Best

Leo Kiely ’69 is the president and CEO of Molson Coors Brewing Company (read his company bio here). While this likely takes up most of his time, he is also active in many charitable organizations such as The United Way and The Boys and Girls Clubs of America.

Maybe That Extra Cookie Ain’t So Bad

According to a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, co-authored by Krok alum Dr. Mitchell Gail ’63 of the National Cancer Institute (along with other docs from the NCI and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), people who are overweight but not obese have a lower risk of death than those of normal weight. Only the extremely obese (8 percent of Americans) had increased risk of death, as did the very thin. According to an article in The New York Times (read it here), the finding caused "an uproar." We think the restaurant industry is looking very kindly on Mitch, as are the Harvard Krokodiloes.

But is he a loyal Krok?

Former Krok Music Director Fred Reichheld ’74, dubbed “The godfather of customer loyalty” by eBay President John Donahoe, is a genial, soft-spoken man known for provoking near-riots at his book readings. His revolutionary idea? That loyalty to customers (and within a company) is the truest predictor of long-term profits. In his latest book, The Ultimate Question, which was recently ranked #1 on the Wall Street Journal’s Business Best-Sellers List and #1 on USA TODAY’s Money Best-Sellers List, he sets out a method to implement and measure this “loyalty effect.” Read more about Fred here. Oh, and the answer to the question above — a resounding YES! For the past four summers, he has hosted Kroks of the ’70s in an annual reunion and songfest on Cape Cod.

But He Has to Go Home to New Haven

James Bundy ’81 has been Dean of the Yale Drama School since 2002 (read more about him here). Although in his tenure no Kroks have been accepted, the quality of education and programming is reported to be top-notch.

A Krok Wedding to remember: Jed & Kate

The Krok-studded wedding of super-tenor Jed Cohen ’99 to Kate Dawson in February 2007 was not only the lead illustrated feature wedding in The New York Times (including several references to the Kroks and a quote from Adam Wolfsdorf ’97) but it merited a web video on the Times site about Jed and Kate's extremely romantic courtship. Read (and view) it here, but grab a hankie. And congrats, Jed!

Dubya for a Day

Among the distinguished (and oft-controversial) career achievements of attorney Greg Craig ’67 — he's represented Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Edward Kennedy, John Hinckley, Kofi Annan; and he's served as Senior Adviser to Madeleine Albright and Assistant to President and Special Counsel to the White House, heading up the defense team in the Clinton impeachment trial — perhaps the oddest task occurred during the 2004 Presidential campaign. To sharpen John Kerry's debating skills in rehearsals, Greg landed the coveted job of impersonating George W. Bush. He laments that he'd often bring his work home, spouting inadvertent Bushisms around the house. His kids, presumably, went far away to college.

Krokus Ex Machina — Kroks from Scratch

The Kroks, unlike certain senior spree-seeking gentleman songsters we know, assemble their members from all academic classes, thus immunizing themselves from ever having to create a group from scratch — well, almost always. Twice in the group’s history, the Kroks suffered an attrition of 11 members, leaving one hapless, heroic Krok to perform magic. The first time was the Krok group of 1976-77, whose one holdover was musical director Peter Lerangis ’77. The next time was three years later — 1979-80 with Alex Aldrich ’80 at the helm. Clearly neither has fully recovered.

From the Kroks to the Supremes

Greg Craig ’67 isn’t the only Washington insider with the Kroks on his resume. George Hicks ’99-’00 is one of two — yes, two — Kroks who have been law clerks for Supreme Court Chief Justices. Currently George is clerking for Chief Justice John Roberts ’76. Roberts’s Harvard classmate, Krok über-first-tenor Jim Volling ’76, clerked for Warren Burger back in ’80–’81.

Monotreme Dreams

Alex Aldrich ’80, who would have reached the dizziest of heights on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" but for a question on monotremes (hint: if David Binger had given our fledgling group the name "Platypusoes," Alex may have gotten it right), is currently Artistic Director of the Vermont Arts Council in Montpelier, VT. (Read more about Alex — and, if you're so inclined, about monotremes.)

Mike Mitnick is gorgeous!

Michael Mitnick ’06 and Catherine Zeta Jones (HPT Woman of the Year 2006) take a break from cuddling to pose for this picture.

Catherine clearly knows a good catch. Already an accomplished composer for plays and film, Michael was profiled in this article in the fall 2005 issue of Harvard Magazine. You can learn more by checking out Michael's website.

A House, Sans Blue Lights

The Big House, an elegant and ambitious book that combines family history, social history, and memoir, received a National Book Award nomination for George Howe Colt ’76 in 2003. It received many rapturous reviews, including these two in The New York Times and the New Yorker magazine. Part of its success is due, no doubt, to the presence of several Kroks sprinkled throughout the text. Read more about the book and order it here.

On the Fiske List

Self-proclaimed "Harvard Admissions mistake" Rod Skinner ’76 is on the very short list of editorial advisors to the popular Fiske Guide to Colleges, a bible for all high school students in their research into attending colleges. Rod is the head of college placement at Milton Academy.
