Enter Laughing tells the story of a Bronx-born, depression era teenager David Kolowitz played by Chris Dwan who has ambitions to be an actor but is not blessed with much talent. Distracting from his goal is his obsession about being a celebrity and what would be his due if he were to achieve being a celebrity.

An investigation into the revival of ballet themes

This is all complicated by his obsessions about girls and movie stars, and Kolowitz is further stressed out by his doubting parents Alison Fraser and Michael Kostroff who insist that he become a pharmacist and live a normal life. Kolowitz gets his break at a theatre academy directed by the eccentric and self-absorbed Marlowe played by David Schramm who preys on hopefuls who are given the privilege of appearing in supporting roles in pot-boiler theatre productions starring himself and his man-crazy daughter Angela Farah Alvin.

Although David has fantasies about a secretary Miss B played by Dana Costello and is pursued by the man-crazy Angela, he remains faithful to his girlfriend Wanda played by Allie Trimm. Enter Laughing does parody musicals that came before it. But it is all straight forward, pulling no punches, and emphasizes one-line jokes, physical comedy, and clever lyrics to get the story across.

All is guided with skill by director Stuart Ross, who has also contributed to the recent revisions of this musical. June 13, Le Corsaire is an anomaly among the 19th century classics as it was hidden away in Russia until the latter half of the 20th century when the ballet was performed by Russian ballet companies on its foreign tours and now many ballet companies all over the world have staged their own productions. But the ballet was first choreographed by Joseph Mazilier for the Paris Opera Ballet in , and then re-staged and re-choreographed by Marius Petipa in a version that premiered at the Maryinsky Theatre in The score had been composed by Adolphe Adam but through the years there have been revisions and inserts composed by Cesare Pugni, Riccardo Drigo, Leo Delibes and Prince Oldenbourg — a bit of a patchwork and re-orchestrated by Kevin Galie.

The story of Le Corsaire is based on a poem by Lord Byron which is very much a romantic adventure in which Conrad saves Medora from the fate from being sold into slavery and entering the service of a Middle Eastern Pasha. Beyond its showy scenic effects, comedy, and swashbuckling, there is a lot of dancing in Le Corsaire. In the cast of the June 13th performance of Le Corsaire, Brooklyn Mack appeared as a guest artist in the role of Conrad.

He certainly served up the needed experience and pyrotechnics for this role. As Medora he partnered Christine Shevchenko who gave a stylish and technically polished performance, and also adding to the pyrotechnics was Joo Won Ahn who superbly stepped in for the injured Daniil Simkin in the role of Ali. In particular Shevchenko, Ahn and Mack collaborated on an exciting performance of the Pas de Trois in the second act of this ballet.

Cassandra Trenary dancing the role of Gulnare, Aran Bell dancing the role of Lankendem, and Gabe Stone Shayer dancing the role of Birbanto, also added to the sparks that were generated on the stage. It is a ballet in which the dancers are given opportunities to shine and play to an audience. Paper Mill Playhouse.

June 8, The Broadway production opened in and ended its Broadway engagement in However Beauty and the Beast seems ever present. This new production directed by Mark S.

Hoebee, with choreography by Alex Sanchez, is a slightly different take on this musical. But retains all of the humanity that this musical reflects — a story that is as old as time. This musical version of Beauty and the Beast tells the tale of Belle who is pursued by a rather uncouth and arrogant suitor, Gaston.

She has a loving relationship with her eccentric inventor father which certainly has influenced her interest in books. But her love of books and her independence makes her a village oddity. There are animated candelabras, spoons, clocks and tea pots which encourage a romantic relationship between Bell and the Beast, and also create entertainment for Belle as her romance with the Beast blossoms. Certainly what distinguishes this production of Beauty and the Beast is Mark S.

You will leave the theatre humming the score which includes so many hits and standards — and also humming the costumes and scenery designs which is not a negative. Beautiful performances, beautiful voices, perfect comic timing combine for a spirited entertainment. Even before this production opened an extension was announced and this production of Beauty and the Beast is a must see by young and old.

June 4, Marston, a British choreographer, comes to American Ballet Theatre after choreographing works for many companies in Europe and also for the San Francisco Ballet here in the United States. Quite often her subject matter for her dance pieces are narrative works, and Jane Eyre, originally choreographed for Northern Ballet in England, premiered in Uniquely American Ballet Theatre and the Joffrey Ballet have entered into a co-production agreement to present this ballet in the United States.

As in other Victorian novels, women are often mistreated by the men in their lives, and yet are dependent on men in the end. As for any choreographer attempting to create a full-length ballet that choreographer must realize that he or she must be a theatre director as well and also librettist in adapting the story to the visual art form, dance.

Marston is credited not only with the choreography for her version of Jane Eyre but also for the direction and scenario. In a program article about Jane Eyre, Marston explained that she had been influenced by two different traditions of transferring a story from book to stage. Marston takes those theories to the stage in telling the story of Jane Eyre through flashbacks with the older Jane Eyre remembering her experiences as expressed by her younger self. The scenario for this production of Jane Eyre has been adapted by Marston and designer Patrick Kinmonth. Locations are suggested with simple props such as a chair or stools.

Quite often, though, the score does not provide dramatic underpinnings for the important plot points in this version of Jane Eyre. For that reason the dancers in the principal roles share the burden of bringing these fascinating and familiar characters to life. All of these dancers met the challenges of these roles. Anyone with interest to dance should take the time to see this version of Jane Eyre if only to experience what it is that Marston is attempting, not always successfully, to communicate to an audience.

May 21, The music was sensitively played by pianist Jacek Mysinski and the cast led by Isabella Boylston and Blaine Hoven executed the choreography which faithfully reflected the expressiveness in the music. In Ratmansky created a new version of On The Dnieper, a one-act narrative ballet, that had been premiered in by the Paris Opera Ballet, with an original libretto by Sergei Prokofiev and Serge Lifar, and with commissioned music by Prokofiev.

His return to the village is not celebrated by all of the inhabitants and Sergei also finds that he is no longer in love with Natalia Hee Seo to whom he promised his love.

Ratmansky created a great sense of theatre in this piece. Variations in ballet styles figure prominently and references to scenes from the 19th century classics as well. May 11, High Button Shoes focuses on two travelling con men caught up in an attempt to exploit an heiress and her family taking them all on a chase from New Brunswick, New Jersey, to the Jersey Shore, and to Atlantic City.

The two con men create schemes concerning fake watches, diamond mines, phony land deals, and being only one or two steps ahead of the police. Structured somewhat as a vaudeville entertainment with a minimum of physical comedy but lots of one-liners — in a concert adaptation by Jack Viertel — High Button Shoes is somewhat anachronistic — and not always politically correct — and most notably is a nostalgic period piece. This was a time when there was excitement about the Model T, a not very bright football hero, real estate swindles, all occurring in the wilds of New Brunswick, New Jersey — including a focus on the Rutgers University football team — with anti-heroes who smile and charm their way through life.

Pontdue, and Michael Urie as Harrison Floy — the two con men — are played as lovable villains — and Betsy Wolfe as Sara Longstreet is also part of this wonderful cast that brings this fun story to life and justifies these concert performances to hear an equally fun score. Here there was the luxury of being able to listen to this wonderful score by a large orchestra which was under the expert direction of Rob Berman. Have to thank City Center Encores for presenting a concert version of High Button Shoes as its nostalgia and optimism are just right for these enigmatic times we are living in.

May 9, From April 29 through May 12, , the Joyce Theater is presenting an Australia Festival celebrating the wide variety of dance that is being offered and performed by Australian dance and ballet companies. Some of these companies were, in fact, making their Joyce Theater debuts. From May , the Joyce Theater is hosting the Australian Ballet -- making its Joyce Theater debut — and also making it possible for this company to make up for its infrequent New York engagements.

Having performed at larger venues in New York in the past, the Australian Ballet is presenting a different side of its dance personality in performing works not only created for the company but also dancing in works that are notable for their contemporary ballet and modern dance influences rather than the full-length ballet story ballets that the company usually performs during its New York engagements. But it is a virtuoso piece to display all aspects of the dancers dancing the piece. The work, choreographed to music by Ludovico Einaudi, was inspired by the Japanese craft of repairing cracked pottery with precious metals, known as kintsugi — and is also a metaphor of how people repair the cracks in their own lives.

In that respect it was the most adventurous piece on the program as well.

Most eloquent was its quiet ending with only a couple on stage. April 26, MasterVoices has been sponsoring concerts of vocal symphonic pieces and operas on regular basis in New York City. Every now and again MasterVoices has employed its chorus in presenting a concert version of a Broadway musical — Song of Norway — or an operetta — The Pirates of Penzance. Bearing these artistic choices in mind, musical director, Ted Sperling, has collaborated with the Orchestra of St.

Lady in the Dark is rarely performed and represents an interesting theatrical enigma. The focus of Lady in the Dark is the story of Liza Elliott, an unhappy editor of a fashion magazine who is undergoing psychoanalysis. Weill had composed 1-act operas in the past and Gershwin, seeking his own inspiration, from patter songs that might appear in operettas. When we come upon Liza Elliott she seems to be a confident business woman, editor of a successful fashion magazine, Allure, who is described as glamorous and successful — and much admired.

But her life is falling apart and making any kind of decisions seems to be difficult for her.
