It's a long time coming but there is finally a revue made up of the works of Marty Silvestri and Joel Higgins, and it's the revue they deserve.

The new musical revue The Beat of a Wandering Heart – The Songs of Marty Silvestri and Joel Higgins will celebrate its world premiere production at New York’s Laurie Beechman Theatre.

The songwriters present a revue of their 40-plus-year partnership to the Beechman 11/11 to 11/16, with Christine Andreas, George Dvorsky, James Harkness & Casey Borghesi. We spoke with Silvestri and Higgins about the new show, their career, and more.

One of the most enduring of human beliefs is the idea of the existence of an afterlife. All sorts of terrors and challenges can be endured in an earthly life if one believes in a world beyond where things will be not only better but perfect. That is one of the central ideas of THE FIELDS OF AMBROSIA, a musical that is opening next week at Surflight Theatre in Beach Haven, NJ on Long Beach Island.

Surflight Theatre, New Jersey's “Broadway at the Beach,” will present a new production of The Fields of Ambrosia this September.

Tony Award Nominated Christine Andreas to Join Grammy Award-Winning Bandleader Vince Giordano, Pianist Art Topilow and Saxophonist Danny Bacher for a Night of Broadway Jazz at Bell Works tonight.

Christine Andreas' show, AND SO IT GOES, which opened at 54 Below last evening, doesn’t contain even a whiff of politics. But it focuses on the disjointedness the past decade or so has created in all our souls and holds up art and music as a way out of some of the chaotic noise that is making us lesser humans. It is a celebration of our collective humanity and an embrace of some of our best qualities as a species: kindness, tenderness, compassion, and love. That’s a lot to pack into a 70 minute cabaret evening. But Christine Andreas is no ordinary cabaret performer. In addition to her prodigious gifts as a singer and actress, she has always used her keen mind to focus on the bigger questions. She set out constructing this show as a way to cheer herself up. But what evolved is much more. It is a journey into the darkness and out again.

The history of show business is loaded with couples who work as well offstage as they do on. These twosomes have brought their offstage magic to the stages of the cabaret and concert world.
