NYC: STEARNS MATTHEWS ENCORES RELEASE OF HIS DEBUT ALBUM
Stearns Matthews, three-time MAC Award nominee, encores the release of his debut album at THE WEST BANK CAFE/LAURIE BEECHMAN THEATRE (407 West 42nd Street, NYC - 212-695-6909) on Wednesday, February 11th at 7:00 pm. Stearns has appeared twice at the Mabel Mercer Foundation's Annual Cabaret Convention at Jazz at Lincoln Center, and was the first-ever first runner-up in the Metropolitan Room's MetroStar Talent Challenge in 2008. After raising $17,000 in a successful crowdfunding campaign in 2013, Stearns has been hard at work with musical director Christopher Denny and producer Paul Rolnick on producing his debut album. The show will feature some of the songs from the album as well as a few tunes that didn't make the cut due to time constraints. Consider this the "Special Features" section on the DVD: bits from the cutting room floor, commentary from the artist, and an all-around good time. Theatre composers Stephen Schwartz, Richard Rodgers, and Harold Arlen will all be represented, as well as some from the popular end of the spectrum, like Roger Miller, Burt Bacharach, and Don Gibson. Crafted together with Christopher Denny, the arrangements are at times lush and romantic, at others rousing and exhilarating. Lennie Watts directs. There is a $20 cover plus a $20 food/drink minimum.

NYC: REX SMITH: CONFESSIONS OF A TEEN IDOL
After his hit debut this past summer, Rex Smith returns to 54 BELOW (254 West 54th Street, NYC - 646-476-3551) on Wednesday, February 11th at 7:00 pm for an encore performance. This former crazy teen idol rocker has become up a respected entertainer on Television and Broadway. Every song has a story. Like a rock-and-roll Mark Twain, Rex Smith takes you on a wild and fascinating, sometimes dramatic, yet very hilarious, musical story-telling journey. From the crazy antics of rock-and-roll, his excitement and pressures behind a six album deal as a number one platinum recording artist with Columbia Records, his two years opening for Ted Nugent, his last concert with Lynard Skynard before their plane crash (and what really happened), what lead Rex to become an overnight sensation as Teen Idol that took him around the world, and the despair that came with the title; his television roles Sooner Or Later, Street Hawk, Solid Gold, As The World Turns, The Daredevil; and most notable, his sudden rise to Broadway, including antics with Kevin Kline and Linda Ronstadt during The Pirates of Penzance and receiving the coveted Theatre World Award, leading to Broadway shows with Grease, Grand Hotel, Annie Get Your Gun, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Kiss Me Kate, and Sunset Boulevard - and to where he met his 16 year old son, Brandon, for the first time, a son he never knew he had. Join Rex Smith for a musical evening full of rock and Broadway songs, and if you haven't heard "the stories behind the stories" from a celebrity dishing on other celebrities, then this is your show. Stories and anecdotes of Kevin Kline, Linda Ronstadt, Elizabeth Taylor, Michael Caine, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Andy Warhol, The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith to Michael Jackson, Andy Gibb, Tatum O'Neal, Dorothy Hamill, Diahann Carroll ... and that is only the beginning! There is a $35-$80 cover plus a $25 food/drink minimum.
