BWW Review: WE'RE BACK. LILLIAS WHITE is a Force of Nature at The Green Room 42


Lillias White (Dreamgirls, Cats, Once On This Island, How to Succeed, The Life, Fela!) is the kind of performer who engenders adoration. She serves up joy and talent in giant portions in everything she does. She won the Tony for The Life, the Obie for Romance in Hard Times, and a Daytime Emmy for her role on Sesame Street. She was also Tony-nominated for her stunning turn in Fela! Her voice is instantly recognizable. No one sings like her. The force of her voice and her presence is as elemental as air, water, earth, and fire.

BWW Review: ANTHONY NUNZIATA Is a Top-Notch Storyteller at The Green Room 42


There are some performers who are blessed with an ineffable quality called “stage presence.” They enter a stage and instantly command your attention, even if they are not really doing much. It is more than looks or charisma or talent. It’s as if they are able to alter the very air in a room simply by being there. Singer/songwriter Anthony Nunziata is such a performer. His self-titled show which opened tonight at The Green Room 42 was 70 minutes of great songwriting and compelling storytelling. He has an angelic tenor voice that is capable of blues, country, pop, and Broadway colors.

Photo Coverage: Brian Stokes Mitchell Makes Solo Debut at Feinstein's/54 Below


It's one thing to be able to act and sing like Brian Stokes Mitchell, but in addition, there is a whole other level of musicianship Brian possesses that enabled him to conceive and create his opening number, 'There's No Business Like Show Business'.  As 'Stokes' pointed out, his musical mind is in sync with his brilliant music director, Tedd Firth.  The two of them have produced an arrangement of this Irving Berlin standard that takes you on a roller coaster ride of meter and key changes.  A little bit of math proficiency was also probably needed because the Stokes/Firth arrangement starts off as a ballad and then weaves it's way through a variety of tempos which include 7/8 & 5/4. It certainly was indicative of the title of his cabaret show, 'Playing With Music.'
