This is the third and final segment of my recent conversation with author Laurie Winer regarding her book Oscar Hammerstein II and the Invention of The Musical, recently released in paperback.
South Pacific's Foldesi Plays CD Release Concert at Joe’s Pub November 10th
By: Robert Diamond
Julie Foldesi, currently appearing in Lincoln Center Theater's South Pacific, will play Joe's Pub on Monday, November 10, 2008 at 11:30pm as part of the Ghostlight series. Joe's Pub is located within the Public Theater at 425 Lafayette Street. There is a $15 cover charge and a two-drink minimum. For reservations call (212) 967-7555 or visit www.joespub.com.
A Raleigh native, Julie Foldesi now resides in New York City and makes her living as a singer-songwriter, occasionally taking a turn on various Broadway stages. She has just released her first full length album, THIS PART OF TOWN. It's eclectic bluegrass--country with a message. This is a follow up to her EP which was produced by composer Adam Guettel.
Deborah Blumenthal of The 8th Avenue Observer said about THIS PART OF TOWN,
"It's country without being too country, pop without erring too mainstream, and just folksy enough to feel current. Her lyrics span from romantic to fearlessly political, creating a collection of songs that is cohesive but diverse. Paired with Foldesi's beautifully crystal-clear vocals, This Part of Town strikes the right balance, embodying, as the song 'Country Girl' expresses, 'a country girl livin' in the city.'"

SOUTH PACIFIC with Kirsten Chandler
It's one of the greatest scores in theatre history written by some of the most progressive minds of the time. We promise Rodgers and Hammerstein's SOUTH PACIFIC isn't the total yawn you think it is.
