Groovelily Set For Broadway At Birdland Concert Series 5/18 At Birdland NYC
Jim Caruso's Cast Party is proud to present GROOVELILY in the Broadway at Birdland concert series on Monday, May 18 at 7pm.
Pop-rock band GrooveLily makes their Birdland debut May 18th with SLEEPING BEAUTY WAKES. In this Ovation Award-winning hit musical from the authors of the hit STRIKING 12, band members Brendan Milburn, Valerie Vigoda and Gene Lewin perform the magical story in an unforgettable evening of song and laughter. The musical takes the well-known fairy tale and gives it a decidedly modern twist.
New York City trio GrooveLily inhabits that contemporary space where creative musicians ignore the boundaries laid down by words like rock, folk, jazz and pop. Intelligent original songs with no shortage of wit connect lush musical textures and soaring vocals with the blazing six-string electric violin of Valerie Vigoda, the lightning-fingered piano of Brendan Milburn, and the joyful drums of Gene Lewin. With backgrounds in classical music, musical theater, jazz and rock, the three members of GrooveLily are making a new music that's all their own. The success of their first concert-musical, the critically- acclaimed holiday show STRIKING 12, has led them farther into the world of theater, where they have carved out a unique niche as a rock band writing and performing shows. After years on the indie touring circuit, they are delighted to be creating many projects with variouscollaborators: STRIKING 12, the first GrooveLily concert (Off-Broadway 2006, Lucille Lortel Nomination for Outstanding Musical, Bay Area TheatreCritic's Choice Award); TOY STORY THE MUSICAL for Disney; SLEEPING BEAUTY WAKES for Deaf West Theatre/Center Theatre Group (Two
2007 Ovation Awards, including World Premiere Musical; Valerie was also nominated for Lead Actress); WHEELHOUSE, the second GrooveLily concert-musical; LONG STORY SHORT for City Theatre of Pittsburgh/ TheatreWorks Palo Alto; A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM for McCarterTheatre/Paper Mill Playhouse; and ERNEST SHACKLETON LOVES ME, a new 1-womanfever-dream musical.
