Lane captured the audience with his pizzazz while sharing a heartwarming journey appreciating friendship through song

The maestro of Manhattan’s Monday evenings (Caruso) continues to wow an audience. He and the crew played host to a packed crowd on Monday night who were treated to some great performances by stellar individual talents.

There are rare things in the world that should be cherished when they appear like quality moments in time and picturesque evenings under the stars in the moonlight. Sutton Foster’s set at the Carlyle was both these things.

Maroulis, show went on and his CD, Until I'm Wanted, is due to come out shortly. Here's to looking forward to April and a successful release.

Eder's ability to blend a tight belt with an operatic trill as easily as she breathes makes for one heck of a thrill. I could highlight any two or three songs, and they would have been a pair of the cleanest, most tightly rehearsed pieces one could see. Eder's songs aren't the only thing that's great. Her shows are great.

After seeing her show at 54 Below, Chris Struck set up an interview with Helen Park to discuss KPOP, a high energy musical destined for Broadway!

What started out as a 17 minute tap session full of some pretty slick moves became a nearly two hour romp backed by one of the world's classiest jam bands highlighted by Jonathan Michel, probably the world's best double bassist and talented pianist, accompanist Mark Meadows who defined sleek with the keys.

Everything that I could say about the plot, which was good and thoughtful, wouldn't be enough to capture the essence of what Raftery's show was. He certainly did troll Ivanka even thought that wasn't the whole show. The show was less about trashing Ivanka and more about [Ivanka the heroine] The heroine she could have been and the heroine that she still could be.

Emerson Steele and Kelly Lamor Wilson put together a dynamite show to celebrate female empowerment. Whether it was Charlotte Maltby's slightly quirky, 'Grace Kelly' or Laura Bell Bundy's differently quirky, 'Digital Disease' or Annie Golden's emphatic, warrior anthem, 'White Picket Fence,' each song and performance showcased unique talent.

Chris Struck caught up with Karine Hannah to talk about her next show on Thursday, March 26th at 7pm at The Green Room 42. She launched an EP with Universal Music in 2018 and has been on stages all around NYC.

Chris Struck and Michelle J. Rodriguez discuss Micha Musica: In Transit, and what it means to her to share her upbringing, latinx experience, and to bring her buenavibra spirit to the five boroughs.

Catherine Russell blends her high-energy personality with jazz well, creating an invigorating atmosphere primed for an intimate moment. Her ballads are passionate, and her tributes to jazz greats brought the aura of their heyday to life.

Craig Horsley is an interesting character. A popular one too. So when he cooked up this new show exploring love and revealing all of the emotions that come with it, it seems like the whole town came out to see him sing.

If you were looking for chill that about tops the list of good chill. The other night in the Birdland Theater Harkness turned a series of (mainly) 70s songs that hearken back to the golden age of Classic Rock into his own personal showcase on 'how to play a guitar.'

Chris Struck caught up with Ryan Raftery, writer and star, of the one-man musical comedy IVANKA 2020, coming to Joe's Pub later this February for eight shows starting on February 23rd and running until March 13th. Check out what Ryan Raftery has to say about his latest musical comedy!

Seth Rudetsky and Patina Miller share some backstage stories as well as some of her backstory on the way to becoming an incredible stage and screen actress. In between, she sang a few songs at a nearly peerless level.

The New York Pops' performance at Carnegie Hall was just an overwhelmingly beautiful way to experience the music of theater (and I imagine if they did a John Williams score too it would feel similar.) Having seen most of these tunes played with just a piano and sometimes with a few more instruments, this full orchestra with guest choir of at least 60 was like peering into the original imagination of Rodgers and Hammerstein...

Billy Recce is doing well for himself and as a performer. With a musical still running and another show at 54 Below, he's making being a new writer in New York look easy...

Barbara Bleier and Austin Pendleton perform as if a pair of life long friends. Acting well and singing with gusto, the duo lit up the stage at Pangea!

Kurt Elling remains as much a luminary of the art form. Kurt feels as much a throwback as he does new age. Joined by some familiar faces, Elling gave the audience a bluesy tune to a'escape the dread of modern day living.'
