NY STATE: FORT SALEM OPENS SEASON WITH MAN OF LA MANCHA

NY STATE: FORT SALEM OPENS SEASON WITH MAN OF LA MANCHA

Once a noble experiment, now an annual tradition, Tim Nelson and his Rose Center Theater Repertory Players fly themselves and their costumes from Westminster, California, to Salem, New York, and present a "big" classic musical at TheMAINSTAGE AT FORT SALEM THEATER (11 East Broadway, Salem, NY - 518-854-9200). This year, for one weekend only, Friday through Sunday, June 21st through 23rd, the show is Man of La Mancha, the Don Quixote legend set to beautiful music, which includes the show's hit song, "The Impossible Dream." Man of La Mancha, based on Miguel de Cervantes's seventeenth century masterpiece, Don Quixote, originated as a ninety-minute TV play without music in 1959, written by Dale Wasserman for DuPont's Show of the Month. Wasserman took his script, with much of the dialogue in place, and, with lyricist Joe Darion and music by Mitch Leigh, workshopped the musical at Connecticut's Goodspeed Opera House and opened at the ANTA Washington Square Theater in 1965, winning five Tony Awards and running for 2,328 performances. Westminster's Fort Salem production stars actors familiar to local audiences: Chris Caputo (the Sheriff of Nottingham from last year's Robin Hood) and Melissa Cook (Julie from Carousel). Director Tim Nelson was hired ten years ago by Kathy Beaver, former owner and artistic director at Fort Salem, to direct her production of Man of La Mancha, and was so taken with the area that he purchased a vacation home on Salem's Vermont border. Artistic Director of The Rose Center, a community-owned theater in Orange County, California, Nelson is also chair of the Musical Theater Department at the Huntington Beach Academy for the Performing Arts, which as a school wins national awards for excellence, and whose students (under Nelson's tutelage) have consistently won the highest national performance awards every year in New York City. Tickets are $30.

NYC Cabaret/Jazz icon Barbara Carroll performs at BIRDLAND (315 West 44th Street, NYC - 212-581-3080) on Saturdays at 6:00 pm. She is joined by her long-time bassist Jay Leonhart. Barbara Carroll's still evolving career as a jazz pianist began when she played her first New York engagement opposite Dizzy Gillespie's big band at the Downbeat Club in 1947. A thrilling if a trifle unsettling debut for a young female pianist from Worcester, Massachusetts who began playing the piano at five and who's family was wise enough to give her lessons that provided her with a basic knowledge of classical technique. In 1978, she was booked into the Bemelmans Bar at the Carlyle hotel for a two week engagement - and stayed for twenty five years. It was at the Carlyle that she began to feature her singing as an integral part of her performances. Following her 25 years at the Carlyle, she is well into another long run in the famous Oak Room at New York's Algonquin Hotel, making a significant and successful effort to incorporate jazz playing into a cabaret venue. Other recent engagements have included concerts at Philharmonic Hall in Naples, Florida, the Colony Hotel in Palm Beach, concerts at the Walter Auditorium at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts as well as twelve sold out performances at Dizzy's Club Coca Cola, at Jazz at Lincoln Center. There is a $30 cover plus a $10 food/drink minimum.

Amid the chaos of his young life, Ben found comfort - like so many gay boys before him and after - in musical theater, and specifically in the transportive voice of Broadway star Patti LuPone.
