Fred Astaire News

Thoroughly charming performances by Kathlynn Rodin and James D. Gish highlight The Phoenix Theatre Company's production of DADDY LONG LEGS, running through July 18th.

This 2011 musical based on the 1935 film of the same name, tells the story of Broadway sensation Jerry Travers who dances his way across Europe to win the heart of society girl Dale Tremont. With an uplifting and entertaining script, this show celebrates 1930s song, style and romance. Underpinning every scene are Irving Berlin's magnificent songs including ;Puttin' on the Ritz', 'Cheek to Cheek', 'Isn't This A Lovely Day', and of course, 'Top Hat, White Tie & Tails'

NICOLAS KING: HINDSIGHT IS 2020 was 70 minutes of awesome jazz technique, great storytelling, and honest showmanship. He acknowledges his musical influences with love and gratitude: Mel Tormé, Charles Aznavour, Fred Astaire, Carol Burnett, and most especially his mentor, Liza Minnelli. Their work shows up in his style, but in the end, his style is all his own.

The Joyce Theater Foundation has announced that the streaming window for Ayodele Casel: Chasing Magic, will be extended for one week, now through April 29. Drawing on a formula for success, Ayodele Casel reunites with long-time collaborator Torya Beard, who stepped into the role of Director for Ayodele Casel: Chasing Magic.

LEGENDS AND BRIDGE is a comedy imagining former, silver-screen legend Joan Crawford (matronly, washed-up, and pickled on spiked Pepsi) who invites Judy Garland (recently fired from her CBS TV show) and Bette Davis (bitter at no longer being the “Queen of Hollywood”) up to her Manhattan apartment in 1964 to live with her as they work on a “secret” film project. I find it difficult to believe anyone reading this does not already know about the three screen legends featured in the show. But just to be sure, I decided to interview the three actors portraying them to find out more about what it was like to portray such well-known personalities.

Theater and LGBTQ luminaries are featured in 92Y's upcoming virtual talks and classes in April and May. The programs will feature Alan Bergman, Ann Hampton Callaway, Alison Bechdel and many more!
