Third Eye Theatre Co Opens 'Notes on New York' 10/6

The Third Eye Theatre Company’s production of ‘’Notes on New York: The Musicalized Observations of Tim Di Pasqua’’ will open Monday, Oct. 6, at 7 p.m. at the Metropolitan Room, 34 W. 22nd St., New York City. Directed by Andrew Glant-Linden, it will play Mondays throughout October.

‘’Notes on New York’’ is a 90-minute musical revue about ‘’the grit, beauty and drama that only this city can offer.’’ Di Pasqua says, ‘’It’s inspired by the life of Walt Whitman, who wrote about experiences he witnessed, and by Irving Berlin’s ’As Thousands Cheer,’ featuring songs based on the headlines of the day.’’

With Di Pasqua at the piano, a cast of five, who embody the ‘’voices in his head,’’ will bring his musical observations and colorful characters to life.

The show features Vicky Delany, Cheryl Monroe, Erick Pinnick, Lennie Watts and Jennifer Zimmerman.

Di Pasqua is an award-winning singer-songwriter who has performed at Joe’s Pub, Birdland, the Bitter End, Carnegie Hall, Town Hall and the Russian Tea Room.
