The idea of two companies in one community doing the same show within a few months of each other poses many questions. Sometimes the rights to a popular musical become available and there is something of a feeding frenzy - a dedicated theatergoer could have availed themselves of no less than four productions of Mamma Mia! in this area in the last year. Perhaps they were all stellar productions. I certainly didn't hear any complaints about poor attendance, which indicates either an insatiable appetite for an ABBA jukebox musical or the payoff of careful cultivation of core audience support by each company. In any case, nobody appeared to suffer any ill effects from the repetition.

Pop Star, Chris Mann, will debut his 4th studio album, NOISE, in concert on Thursday, March 28th, 2019 at the Peppermint Club in West Hollywood, CA. The highly anticipated album, NOISE, will be released as individual singles each month available on Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music and across all digital streaming platforms. Mann wanted to “make noise” year round and felt this new release model would allow him to better and more deeply engage with his fans, allowing each song to resonate fully in its on way. “Gentleman,” the album's first single, was co-written by Mann, Cameron Forbes (3X Platinum, #1 smash single “Taste” by Tyga), and Willy Beaman (Greyson Chance, Nico & Vinz). The feel-good single sets the tone for the album with a bass-filled urban swagger topped with vintage horns and soulful, falsetto melodies harkening the best of Justin Timberlake and John Legend. NOISE also features a special guest vocal from one of Mann's own idols, 4 time Grammy award winning superstar, India.Arie.
