Donmar Warehouse announces 2013 Autumn Season

On Sunday April 7 Kritzerland presented its monthly tribute to great composers, this time around in honor ofthe incomparable lyricists Betty Comden and Adolph Green, entitled Just in Time: The Songs of Betty Comden and Adolph Green.

How can Kritzerland make a Christmas show unusual and different? Well, you can either be exceedingly solemn and point the show in the 'Silent Night' direction, or pull out all the stops and run with the comedy. Kritzerland shows have one thing in common: they are never a drag. Bruce Kimmel sees to that whether Guy Haines is a guest or not. Solemn music? No, not in Kritzerland's nature! Fun, yes, always, as Kimmel's personality and anecdotes are full of the demon and amusingly interesting trivia about Broadway show tunes and Hollywood movie music. On Sunday December 2, at Sterling's Upstairs at the Federal, Kimmel and his fine singers: Dan Callaway, Damon Kirsche, Emma Degerstedt, Lisa Livesay, Jane Noseworthy, and Jenna Rosen with very special guest star Bill Hayes, a 40 year veteran of Days of Our Lives, were on hand to present and celebrate Broadway, film and rock/pop holiday cheer. Lloyd Cooper served as musical director/accompanist extraordinaire throughout the 90-minute set that made up Kritzerland Records' Christmas with a Little Bit of Hannukah and a Lot of Cheer.

The new collection, EVERYONE HAS A STORY: THE SONGS OF ADRYAN RUSS, offers Broadway, pop, cabaret - even a holiday song - by this lyricist/composer of Inside Out, the award-winning off-Broadway musical about five women in group therapy that played New York's Cherry Lane and many theaters country-wide.

Bruce Kimmel is a known record producer and director, but not everyone knows that he's a songwriter -- and a really good one. Aside from the songs he wrote for his musicals FIRST NUDIE MUSICAL and THE BRAIN FROM PLANET X, he's written some wonderful single songs -- some funny, some romantic, some charming.

Kritzerland at the Gardenia will present KIMMELSONGS on Wednesday, November 2, 2011 at 9 p.m. and 11 p.m.

Another wonderful evening of song from Kritzerland, Bruce Kimmel's production label, at the Gardenia on Wednesday August 3, this time saluting the music of Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones, and congrats are in as this show marks Kritzerland's 12th consecutive show in its series at the Gardenia! Schmidt and Jones penned The Fantasticks, I Do! I Do!, among the most famous, and less so: 110 In the Shade, Collette Collage, Celebration and even a musical entitled The Bone Room. On hand to perform were musical director John Boswell and special guest Rex Smith, Lauren Rubin, Michaelia Leigh, Will Collyer, Camille Saviola, Michael Hawkins, 13 year-old Melody Hollis and even Guy Haines - I mean, Bruce Kimmel himself - singing. And I'm here to tell you, he didn't sound half bad! Kimmel as always introduced the evening with interesting composer trivia and anecdotes. The music showcased included well known tunes and lesser known or unfamiliar ones. Schmidt and Jones may not have had the popularity of Rodgers and Hammerstein, Lerner and Lowe, or Kander and Ebb, but one thing is certain they sure did pen some eclectically beautiful songs!

Strangers on a Train, adapted by Craig Warner from the novel by Patricia Highsmith andpopularized by Alfred Hitchock's film, will open at Stoneham Theatre on Thursday, May 7. The psychological thriller begins with an innocent conversation between two strangers and ends in murder and madness.
