Friday, May 3 at 7:00 PM ROSEMARY LOAR "Vagabond Heart" – Album Release Concert Broadway (Sunset Boulevard, Chess), cabaret and recording artist Rosemary Loar revisits her love of jazz in her newest and most musically ambitious show yet which launches her 12th album: Vagabond Heart. This is an evening of out-of-the-box arrangements and hilarious and heartbreaking stories of where and how the music was chosen and inspired. She sings well-known standards, original compositions, and classic Broadway songs, each with a twist. The show will be directed by Barry Kleinbort, with music direction Frank Ponzio on piano, Tom Hubbard on bass, and Vito Lesczak on drums. Sunday, April 14 at 7:00 PM KLEA BLACKHURST "Autumn in New York – Vernon Duke's Broadway" Vernon Duke was the creator of such indisputable standards as "April in Paris" and "Autumn in New York." His legacy as a Broadway composer ultimately rests on 1940's Cabin in the Sky, but there are countless musical treasures written throughout his career – songs from Banjo Eyes, starring Eddie Cantor and Dancing in the Streets, starring Mary Martin. There's even a curious meeting at the intersection of Vernon Duke and Ethel Merman – Sadie Thompson. Blackhurst has created a lively show devoted to possibly the only composer to dine regularly with Prokofiev and Gershwin. The show features arrangements by music director Michael Rice. Sunday, May 5 at 7:00 PM KLEA BLACKHURST "One of the Girls: The Words and Music of Jerry Herman" Considered one of Herman's premier interpreters, Blackhurst officially became one of "Jerry's Girls" when she starred in the 50th anniversary production of Hello, Dolly! at Goodspeed Opera House. They were introduced years before, when Jerry heard her sing one of the cut Dolly songs written for Ethel Merman. He immediately invited her to sing with the London Philharmonic at the Palladium and she's been singing his songs with symphony orchestras across the country ever since. "One of the Girls" focuses on the powerful, loving and memorable women in Jerry's life: both real, like his mother Ruth, who taught him that you could throw a party because "It's Today," and characters like Mame, who encouraged us to "Open a New Window"; Dolly Levi, who decided to rejoin the human race "Before the Parade Passes By"; and Zaza, who bravely declared, "I Am What I Am." Sunday, May 19 at 7:00 PM HEATHER PARCELLS and DIANE PHELAN "A Friendship Unhinged" *Livestream Available* Two of Broadway's wittiest leading ladies, Heather Parcells (Judy Turner in A Chorus Line ) and Diane Phelan (Cinderella in Into the Woods) take you on a duet-driven romp through the sweet dissonance of enduring friendship. Having met as mere babes on the 1st National Tour of Thoroughly Modern Millie, the duo harmonize their way through the inescapable lunacy that accompanies a lasting friendship. The show is directed by Joe Langworth, with music direction by Dan Lipton, and music arrangements by Richard Rockage. Friday, June 16 at 9:30 PM RANDY EDELMAN *Livestream Available* Composer, conductor, and musician Randy Edelman will celebrate the soundscape of his career through a dazzling piano concert. He transports his audience with arrangements of his movie scores from Last of the Mohicans to My Cousin Vinny, and beyond. Randy will also be sharing his hit songs that have been recorded by popular artists including Barry Manilow, Patti LaBelle, Olivia Newton-John, Nelly, and others. Edelman has composed over 100 popular films including Gettysburg, 27 Dresses, Ghostbusters II, Kindergarten Cop, Twins, among others. He also created musical themes for the Olympics, ESPN, and NASA. He has shared stages with the Carpenters, Frank Zappa, Anthrax, Sister Sledge, and others. He has also written songs for Barry Manilow ("Weekend in New England), Patti LaBelle ("Isn't it a Shame"), Blood Sweat and Tears ("Blue Street"), Kool & the Gang ("Amore, Amore"), Nelly ("My Place"), and more. Friday, June 21 at 9:30 PM NICK ZIOBRO "Without a Song" *Livestream Available* Once known as The Great American Songbook Youth Ambassador, Nick Ziobro returns to NYC with an all-new show. Featuring music from Cole Porter to Carole King, as well as some artists you never thought you'd see coming, travel across time with heartfelt vocals and stories through the best songs from the last century. With a band of legendary New York musicians led by the incomparable Tedd Firth, Nick's passion for this music will only be matched by the incredible players onstage with him. Come and see why The Daily Beast asked, "Is Nick Ziobro the next Frank Sinatra?" |
