Dad's Garage Brings INVASION: CHRISTMAS CAROL Back to the Stage
by A.A. Cristi
- Nov 18, 2016
After a two-year break, our favorite Christmas tradition is back as Invasion Christmas Carol returns to the Dad's Garage stage. This hybrid improv-scripted show turns the classic Dickens story into a hilarious, improvised mess. In addition to the story's regular cast, a new and different character visits Scrooge every evening--which is a complete surprise to the cast. We let our guest improvisers go crazy, and these invading characters could be anyone from The Incredible Hulk, to Santa Claus, to Martha Stewart. You'll see Scrooge's past, present, and future unfold in a new way each night. Watch our cast of actors try to perform the traditional Christmas Carol while trying to deal with the one improviser running around stage causing havoc. It is a beautiful disaster that you're not going to want to miss.

BWW Review: Michael Feinstein and Marilyn Maye Give a Master Class in 'Summertime Swing' at Feinstein's/54 Below
by Amy Oestreicher
- Sep 6, 2016
Summertime brings to mind nighttime fireflies, lemonade that makes your lips pucker, rocking chairs creaking on the front porch, and, like the famous Porgy and Bess tune of the same name, melodies that trickle into the night. Summertime Swing is the latest masterpiece and collaboration at its finest by the legendary Michael Feinstein and Marilyn Maye, evoking a sultry, steamy love letter to the fleeting season and a prime example of craft, art, and passion.
The moment I walked into the dining room at Feinstein's/54 Below, where Summertime Swing played through September 1 a fashionably dressed gentleman greeted me with, 'It's a fantastic show.' The packed house was already alive with thrilling enthusiasm as they eagerly waited for the show to start. When you attend a show headlined by a golden age cabaret great and a prolific 'music revivalist' who happens to have the venue named for him, you come expecting to be no less than entertained. Summertime Swing elevated the art of summer entertainment tenfold--- a tribute to anything we could hope for in the last days of summer.
