TO DO: THE WELCOME WAGON

TONIGHT, AUG 5 – Yep, that’s yours truly in this fab invite for the Earl Dax-produced opening performance party for the new Galapagos in DUMBO. If you’ve never attended an Earl Dax joint, now’s a good time to start. His Art Jam series at the old Galapagos was truly an inspiration. Plus it will be [...]

She Works Hard for the Money

A while back, I alerted readers via an email blast that C.C.’s output might wane a little during the summer, as a series of performance engagements appeared to be stacking up on the horizon. Well, I wasn’t kidding, and, obviously, the posts have been few and far between (although, hopefully the few have been C.C. [...]

Marketing Glass, and Gandhi

C.C. came across this poster this morning in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, just of Myrtle Avenue (aka, Murder Avenue). It’s an advertisement for The Met’s upcoming staging of Philip Glass’s opera “Satyagraha,” based on the early life of Gandhi (opens April 11). This kind of confirms our theory that Peter Gelb has a large part of [...]

I don’t want to hear any excuses

You should be able to make it to at least one of these concerts. The New York Sun is reporting that organist Gail Archer will be playing the complete Messiaen organ book over the next five months. Totally hot. Totally fierce. I can’t imagine a better plan than to chillax on a Sunday afternoon in [...]

A Wolf In Isaac Mizrahi’s Clothing

According to Joan Acocello at The New Yorker, fashion phoenix Isaac Mizrahi will be narrating Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf at the Guggenheim’s “Work & Process” series this week. I’m sure he’ll do a fabulous job. Now, if they could only get this guy to make a cameo as “The Bird,” they might just have [...]

Liebestodt: Performa 07, “Grand Finale”

RITE OF SPRING MONDAY! (Oh boy…) The second round of the rock-em-sock-em performance art biennial known as Performa, ended Monday night in a self-immolating “Grand Finale” at the Hudson Theater in Times Square. The festival, which has made us all laugh, cry, pull out our hair, stress out way too much about our fashion sensibility, [...]

TO DO: Between The Lines @ BAM

If you didn’t catch the first night, which we reported about here, head out to BAM tonight to catch the second installment of the new (and young) reading/screening series, “Between the Lines.” The inside word is that tonight’s lineup is more intense, more grotesque, and just as cool as last time. TONIGHT AT 8PM BAR [...]
