I started this blog with one daughter, kept it up with the other, to spend time together doing something we enjoyed.
However, things change and people evolve. My daughters are older, busier, and not as interested in writing.
From now on this blog will be mostly mom with occasional contributions from my daughters and maybe even my husband.
Nothing else will change. We'll still focus on sharing fun places to go, fun things to do, and more, and we would  still love to hear your views too

Royal Family Productions (Chris Henry, Founder/Artistic Director; Lorna Ventura, Creative Director) with Lisa Dozier (Be More Chill) announces it will bring Anthony Rapp’s acclaimed one-man show, Without You, back to New York City. This piece is written by and stars Anthony Rapp (“Star Trek Discovery,” Rent, RFP: Nobody Suspects a Butterfly), with direction by Steven Maler and musical direction by Daniel Weiss.  Without You will run four performances only April 19-21 at Royal Family Performing Arts Space (145 West 46th Street, 3rd Floor).

In 1994, Anthony Rapp was working at a New York Starbucks and about to audition for a new musical by a young aspiring writer named Jonathan Larson.  This is where Without You begins. Rapp shares his audition for Rent, getting cast, rehearsals, and his view from the stage during the tribute performance on the night after Jonathan’s tragic death.  Without You also details Anthony’s achingly beautiful relationship with his mother during this turbulent time. Featuring Anthony’s own lyrics and melodies, stories adapted from his memoir, and the landmark songs of Rent, Without You is a valentine to the groundbreaking musical and celebrates all of our seasons of love.

4)HARMONY

BARRY MANILOW AND BRUCE SUSSMAN'S MUSICAL 

OPENS OFF-BROADWAY

The curtain was raised last night at National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene (NYTF) for the opening night of the anticipated musical Harmony written by Barry Manilow and Bruce Sussman. The SRO audience cheered the show, but one seat was empty.  Mr. Manilow was absent and released this statement. “I am heartbroken to say that I have just tested positive for Covid-19 and won’t be able to attend tonight’s performance of my new musical Harmony. This just might be the cruelest thing that has ever happened to me: 25 years waiting for this show to premiere in New York, and I can’t attend. Even in the face of this pandemic, we New Yorkers remain the toughest, staunchest people on the planet—so put on a mask and go see a show!”  

Harmony, directed and choreographed by Warren Carlyle, is set to run through May 8th at National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene at the Museum of Jewish Heritage-A Living Memorial to the Holocaust, located at 36 Battery Place in Battery Park. It tells the true story of the Comedian Harmonists, an ensemble of young men in 1920’s Germany who took the world by storm with their signature blend of sophisticated close harmonies and uproarious stage antics, until their inclusion of Jewish singers put them on a collision course with history. Starring Chip Zien and Sierra Boggess, the cast features Sean Bell, Danny KornfeldZal OwenEric PetersBlake RomanSteven TelseyJessie Davidson, and Ana Hoffman.

6) COLORBLIND
A NEW PLAY BY NAACP AWARD WINNING PLAYWRIGHT WALLACE DEMARRIA TO MAKE ITS NEW YORK PREMIERE OFF-BROADWAY AT ACTORS TEMPLE THEATRE THIS SPRING
 
PREVIEWS BEGIN MONDAY, APRIL 25th
OFFICIAL OPENING NIGHT SET FOR MONDAY, MAY 2nd


The New York based theater company Outside Studios today announced that it will present the Off-Broadway premiere of COLORBLIND, a play about how race figures into love and judgement in America. Written by NAACP Award-Winning Playwright Wallace Demarria, and co-directed by Mr. Demarria and Amanda White-Del Pino, the production begins previews on Monday, April 25th at Actors Temple Theatre, 339 West 47th St. The official opening night is set for Monday, May 2ndhttps://www.colorblindoffbroadway.com 


COLORBLIND dives headfirst into the long-standing racial inequality in America. It follows the life of Mr. Clinton Muhammad, the controversial spiritual leader of the Minority Empowerment Movement. His militant speeches and fiery stance against "the oppression and discrimination" of minorities has divided all that come in contact with him. Some love and idolize him while others despise him and plot his demise. At the peak of his meteoric rise, a life altering event puts everything Muhammad believes into question. Colorblind tackles the issues from every angle, leaving the audience to ask themselves: is it possible to have a truly “colorblind” society? Colorblind is a story of love, patriotism, betrayal, violence and redemption. Does love care about ethnicity? 


Performances of COLORBLIND are on Mondays at 7:00PM, Wednesdays at 7:00PM, and Saturdays at 2:00PM.


Tickets range from $37 (balcony general admission) to $57 (regular orchestra general admission). Premium seats are available for $72. There is a $2.50 facility fee on all tickets.

8) The Diary of Anne Frank
at
Kelsey Theater at Mercer

In this transcendently powerful adaptation by Wendy Kesselman, Anne Frank emerges from history a living, lyrical, intensely gifted young girl who confronts her rapidly changing life and the increasing horror of her time with astonishing honesty, wit and determination. An impassioned drama about the lives of eight people hiding from the Nazis in a concealed storage attic, The Diary of Anne Frank captures the claustrophobic realities of their daily existence – their fear, their hope, their laughter, their grief.
Each day of these two dark years, Anne's voice shines through: "When I write, I shake off all my cares. But I want to achieve more than that. I want to be useful and bring enjoyment to all people, even those I've never met. I want to go on living even after my death!" This is a new adaptation for a new generation.

18)UNMASKED AND UNFILTERED
Extended thru April 23 at Laurie Beechman Theatre


Legendary drag icon LADY BUNNY hops into Times Square with the New York Premiere of her internationally acclaimed touring show UNMASKED & UNFILTERED  at The Laurie Beechman Theatre. Bunny was trapped in her apartment during lockdown, allowing her filthy and demented thoughts to marinate. Now that she’s running wild and free, she’s ready to share those irreverent thoughts with you through new parodies of Cardi B, Lizzo, Madge, Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande. UNMASKED & UNFILTERED also features Bunny’s twisted salute to Laugh-In and other brand new material mixed with some so old that only the dead will recall it. And remember: Bunny's act is often offensive and definitely not PC, so don't buy a ticket if you don't like twisted humor!


Remaining performances of LADY BUNNY: UNMASKED & UNFILTERED are April 17, 22 and 23 at 7pm with a special Easter Brunch performance on April 17 at 4pm.  The Laurie Beechman Theatre is located inside West Bank Cafe at 407 West 42nd Street (at Ninth Avenue). General admission tickets are $25. VIP tickets that include reserved seating and a pre-signed photo of Lady Bunny (NO meet-and greet) are $35. Please note that there is also a $25 food/drink minimum at all performances at this venue; full dinner menu available. All attendees must present proof of full vaccination to enter.
