NYC: "I'M A STRANGER HERE MYSELF" EXTENDED THROUGH JUNE 9th AT THE YORK THEATRE

NYC: "I'M A STRANGER HERE MYSELF" EXTENDED THROUGH JUNE 9th AT THE YORK THEATRE

By popular demand, THE YORK THEATRE at Saint Peter's Church (619 Lexington Avenue, NYC - 212-935-5820 ext. 25) has announced the return engagement of the new musical I'm a Stranger Here Myself, written and performed by Mark Nadler, with Franca Vercelloni on accordion, Jessica Tyler Wright on vioin and directed by David Schweizer. Performances will resume on Tuesday evening, May 28th at 7:00 pm and continue through Sunday afternoon, June 9th at 2:30 pm. The heart, soul and tears of the music that helped define Broadway in its golden age was inextricably linked to a magical (and sinister) several years in pre-WWII Berlin. It was a brief period when the creative strangers of the society - poets, playwrights, Jews, gays and artists of all sorts - were embraced and even exalted. And it's this smart, sexy, jazz-fueled, booze-soaked era that the astonishing, multi-award winning entertainer Mark Nadler brings to life in I'm a Stranger Here Myself - the deeply emotional undercurrents of a society about to break itself into a million pieces. I'm a Stranger Here Myself will play the following performance schedule: Tuesday at 7:00 pm, Wednesday through Friday at 8:00 pm, Saturday at 2:30 pm & 8:00 pm and Sunday at 2:30 pm. Tickets are $67.50.

Soul that grooves. And Soul that moves. With an eye to the classic R&B sounds of the 1960s, the duo of Mark Palmer (keys/vocals) and Anthea White (vocals) have shaped a sonic identity all their own. From the streets of Tokyo to the stage of the Sydney Opera house; from Australia to the musical depths of the New York City, the Hipstones have established themselves as one of the premier soul bands on the scene today. With their eight-piece powerhouse ensemble tearing up New York's funkiest clubs, Mark Palmer and Anthea White have built a sound that's just a little bit Marvin Gaye, and a whole lot modern day. Their latest album, Dreamers (2010), is a testament to their unique vision and mastery of all things jazz, soul, funk and reggae. It's an album that is sophisticated yet accessible, subtle yet strong. A record that is rich in lush harmonies and grounded in the duo's undeniable songwriting talent.

The Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big Band and smaller Alumni All-Star group are the direct descendants of Gillespie's musical ventures. The groups feature some of Dizzy's closest compatriots: senior statesman and NEA Jazz Master Jimmy Heath; veteran Gillespie alumni Roy Hargrove, vocalist Roberta Gambarini, Cyrus Chestnut, Steve Davis, and Lewis Nash; and musical director John Lee. All of them are bandleaders, educators, and recording artists in their own right. These groups are the legacy the master would have wanted, and they serve as a living tribute from extraordinary musicians who exemplify Dizzy's style, range, and commitment.
