TODAY IN N.Y.STATE: JERRY GRETZINGER IN FOREVER PLAID AT FORT SALEM

N.Y.STATE: JERRY GRETZINGER IN FOREVER PLAID AT FORT SALEM

Forever Plaid has been charming audiences for over twenty years, and it opens atMAINSTAGE AT FORT SALEM THEATER(11 East Broadway, Salem, NY - 518-854-9200) on Friday, July 9th, running Fridays & Saturdays at 8:00 pm and Sundays at 2:00 pm through July 18th. In the early nineteen sixties, a male close harmony singing group, specializing in fifties songs, was on its way to its best booking ever when its four members were killed by a bus of Catholic school girls on their way to see the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show. Though a metaphor for the death of easy-listening at the hand of mop-top rock, it's scarcely a scenario one would expect could generate the most successful musical revue of the 1990's. Forever Plaid features some the best-loved tunes from the middle of the last century, including "Three Coins in a Fountain," "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing," "Undecided," "Perfidia," "Heart and Soul," "Lady of Spain," "Moments to Remember" and "Shangri La." WRGB news anchor Jerry Gretzinger suggested that he'd like to appear in a production of Forever Plaid to the Fort's artistic director, Jay Kerr. Gretzinger enlisted the participation of Luis Manzi, a singer/actor from Springfield, Mass., where the two sang in a Plaid production eight years ago. Gretzinger's pal, Sev Moro, a staple in the capital region theater scene, had always wanted a chance to sing in the show, and now has that chance. The quartet is completed by New York State Theatre Institute and Capital Rep veteran, David Girard. Musical direction is by David Hancock Turner in his third year at Fort Salem; direction and musical staging is by Susan Cicarelli Caputo, who has choreographed and acted at NYSTI, Cap Rep, and Fort Salem. Call for cover/minimum information.

MORE "HERE & THERE" PART II - BLOG EDITION including a cabaret review

MORE "HERE & THERE" PART II

Pretty much tied up by making arrangements for the GALA on the 13th, plus kept home most nights by a oppressive heat wave, I only made it out to see on show since last Thursday's newsletter.

On Friday, the 9th of July, I travelled uptown (braving the heat) to THE LAURIE BEECHMAN THEATER to catch Toby Blackwell's show at 8:00 pm. I had promised Mr. Blackwell that I would make it to one of his shows this year, but there seemed to be a conflict or weather issue every previous night, and this was my last chance. And Mr. Blackwell is a very busy actor/singer and only gets to do a cabaret show occasionally - he just returned from a national tour and would be going off on another trek shortly.

Attending a Toby Blackwell show is a little like trying to ride one of those mechanical bulls (or at least what I imagine what that would be like, since I've never actually done it). You simply have no idea which way the show is going to jump and twist next. Titled "Bitter and Be Gay" the show is not for prudes and/or the super religious. It's for folks who want their comedy "no-holds-barred".

Entering the room dragging a wooden cross on his shoulder, Toby opens by speculating what it would be like if Jesus was gay. The comedy is adults only and the skits and songs are risque. But as the show proceeds you begin to realize that there is an underlying theme of both pride and defiance - pride of one's self and one's beliefs and lifestyle, and defiance towards those who attempt to change people into what they're not meant to be. And, as with nearly all of Blackwell's productions, there was a special appearance by Whitney Houston (or a reasonable facsimile), as well as several other divas. This is the type of show that is so clever, so funny, so intricately conceived, so well written, you want to come back and see it again to catch all the funny bits you missed because your were laughing so hard at the funny bits you didn't miss.

The show featured impassioned backup singing by Tony Harris and Brian Golub, outstanding musical direction by Brian Nash and precise direction by Jason Courson. But most of all, it showcased one of the most exciting and entertaining performers in cabaret - a fellow who dares to go where others fear to tread, speak of things usually only whispered, and weave a show that included several costume changes and styles (including some "multi-media" numbers) into a very funny yet thought provoking hour of cabaret.

Well, its time to close off for today and get back to the business side of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE. We've signed on a bunch of new members and subscribers, and now I need to show them that what we do here is worth their investment of time and membership donations. A big thanks again to everyone who performers, sponsored, bought tickets and advertised in the program booklet. And a special thanks to Phil Bond and Kenny Bell at THE LAURIE BEECHMAN and their excellent staff. And one more big thank you to Tracy Stark!

I know as soon as I send this off I'm going to think of more things I should have written and we'll probably include some additional items in Saturday's MEMBERS ONLY issue.

HERE & THERE - PART I - BLOG EDITION with report on Tuesday's Gala

HERE & THERE - PART I

And now on to ANNIVERSARY #21! Our 20th ANNIVERSARY GALA on Tuesday, July 13th will certainly be one that I'll long remember - and I'm sort of sure that everyone who attended and/or took part feels that way as well. You could feel the energy, the love, the excitement and the "community of cabaret" for the full 132 minutes of the show (we went slightly over our scheduled 2 hours). Featuring 20 performers, more than 20 songs (if you count songs within medleys), plus two award presentations, we ran the show non-stop, and it was full-speed-ahead entertainment.

It was a total sell out - not an empty seat in the house (even a few "standees"). Several members of the "cabaret press" were there, especially a contingent from CABARET SCENES magazine, since one of the presentations was the JEFF MATSON AWARD, presented to CABARET SCENE'S editor Frank Dain. The DOTTIE BURMAN SONGWRITER AWARD was presented to the recently formed team of Mary Liz McNamara and Ritt Henn. The award recipients also entertained with a song performance.

I will leave to others the fun of writing about the show itself (since I was the MC this time), but I will say that each of the acts were terrific, representing a broad spectrum of the cabaret and musical styles. Many, many original songs were performed by their composers, including one performed by our musical director, the most incredible Tracy Stark (a previous DOTTIE BURMAN AWARD winner, and multiple award winner from others). The final cast (no longer subject to change without notice) was made up of Lucille Carr-Kaffashan, Suzanne Carrico, Jill Cohen, Hector Coris, Frank Dain, Tim Di Pasqua, Terese Fischer, Daryl Glenn, Sidney Myer, Maria Ottavia, Shaynee Rainbolt, Parker Scott, Marcus Simeone, Maureen Taylor, Evan Toth, Jon Whitton, Jim VanSlyke and Darren Williams (plus of course, Tracy Stark and me).

We had some last minute "drop outs" (because performers appear for free, we don't hold them to make the show if they get an offer of a paying gig), and we actually didn't know our final lineup until the morning of the show. This meant dozens of e-mails between Tracy and I, and the holding of printing the program booklet until the last minute. I finally made it to the copy store at 1:00 pm, with showtime at 7:00 pm.

Very strange at these copy shops. When I arrived, there were four employees doing exactly nothing! Every copy machine in the place was idle. But when I asked if they could print out 100 programs (2 sheets, printed both sides) while I waited, I was told it was impossible. I would have to leave my computer disc and return on Wednesday. Fortunately, there was a self-service section, so I went there and, after a few false starts, did the job myself, and it was complete in 20 minutes! Next time I'm not even going to ask.

I got to THE LAURIE BEECHMAN around 5:00 pm and Tracy was already there doing sound checks/mini rehearsals before the show. She had arranged 10 minute sessions for each performer (except for those accompanying themselves or bringing their own accompanist) starting at 4:30 pm. The staff wanted to open the room promptly at 6:30 for the 7:00 pm show, and if it wasn't for the late arrival of one of the accompanists, we almost made it.

A word about the folks at THE BEECHMAN - Kenny Bell, who manages the room, is a magician when it comes to getting everyone seated promptly, efficiently, and with real charm, so that the wait staff can take food/drink orders before showtime. I sat near the front at the side of the room, where I had a clear view of the full stage and the full room, and was amazed at the way the staff took orders, delivered food and drinks, and cleared tables during the show silently and almost invisibly.

I actually consumed nothing but water and diet coke during the show, for two reasons. First, I had to endure about 40 minutes in a very hot subway station to catch the E train uptown to 42nd Street. I have discovered this summer (and especially during this current heat wave) that I have become extremely susceptible to the effects of this weather, with two incidents of dehydration that nearly had me fleeing to an emergency room. So I felt just a little woozy when I got to THE BEECHMAN. And, secondly, I never have any alcohol when I know I need to get before a microphone. This is the result of a rather embarrassing faux pas made a few years ago when, without warning, I was asked to get up and say a few words, after consuming two cocktails.

A huge thank you once more to Tracy Stark, who did so much work to make this show go so smoothly! I had gotten so involved with mechanical issues (including a broken iPod that contained the Reservation List), program design and printing, and notifying performers, sponsoras and audience members of the latest news, plus publishing the Monday newsletter, that a lot of work fell on her shoulders. I truly missed Sue Matsuki, who is away on a 3-week cruise. She usually comes to the rescue the last few days before a show to handle some of these details for me.

Meantime, we had to deal with membership renewals, and that's my next project today. Everyone who joined by PayPal gets an automated renewal acknowledgement, but folks who joined and paid by check have over the past week or so have still to be thanked. Plus I have to update their membership records and send out their membership cards. And I don't have an accurate membership count yet - we'll be sending that out in the MEMBERS ONLY newsletter on Saturday and will refresh the count in the regular Monday issue of the newsletter.

NYC: SPENCER DAY AT JOE'S PUB MONDAYS IN JULY

NYC: SPENCER DAY AT JOE'S PUB MONDAYS IN JULY

Vocalist-songwriter-pianist Spencer Day will be preforming at JOE'S PUB at THE PUBLIC THEATRE (425 Lafayette Street, NYC - Tele-Charge: 1-212-239-6200 - Box Office: 212-539-8778 - ) on Mondays, July 12th, 19th & 26th at 7:30 pm. Day is an artistic vagabond, a modern-day musical nomad. Born in Utah, raised in rural Arizona, currently living in Los Angeles with extended residencies in New York and San Francisco, Day has called many places home. Along the way, he has wandered amid the expansive and diverse landscape of American music, developing an artistic sensibility that borrows from numerous sources: jazz, musical theater, cabaret, soul, folk, traditional pop and contemporary pop are just the tip of the iceberg. Day uses intuition and improvisation as his primary tools to craft a sound that is traditional and familiar, yet fresh and innovative at the same time, creating a blend too subtle to parse into neatly defined categories. Vagabond, his new release and his first on Concord Jazz, cements his reputation as a balladeer for the new century whose creative voice is distilled from the best elements of the previous one. Tickets are $15 in advance/ $20 at the door.
