Jill Paice, Martin Vidnovic, Stephanie D'Abruzzo & More Join 54 SINGS IRVING BERLIN
Come and enjoy the music composed by the man every Broadway composer considered a giant. His hits on Broadway, in Hollywood, on radio, on television, in concert halls, and Youtube, will continue to entertain future generations in America and throughout the world. Irving Berlin, who gave us White Christmas and Holiday Inn, had the pulse of America throughout his incredible career, capturing the passions and the dramas of this nation during our American Century. From "Alexander's Ragtime Band" to "Always," and from "Blue Skies" to "What'll I Do?" Berlin dominated popular music with one enduring hit after another. His Broadway shows are legendary, including Annie Get Your Gun, Face the Music, and his incomparable Music Box Revues, which were performed in the Broadway theater that still bears the Music Box name. The award-winning 54 Sings series, aided and abetted by New York impresario Scott Siegel will entertain you to the hilt with Irving Berlin's sensational music, performed by a cast of today's great Broadway and nightclub stars.

BWW Reviews: New York City Ballet Keeps Jerome Robbins Work Alive
Jerome Robbins choreographic masterpiece, Goldberg Variations, to Johan Sebastian Bach's musical masterpiece of the same name, was first on New York City Ballet's program on Wednesday evening, May 13, replete with many stars of the company. Pianist Susan Walters sat far left on stage level, playing beautifully. The curtain opened on Faye Arthurs and Zachary Catazaro, in Baroque costume, dancing the Theme. Catazaro, a soloist with NYCB, showed himself to be an ideal classical danseur noble. He is handsome, debonair, confident, and secure, dancing with subtle nuances to his movement, which enriches the experience for the audience, as well, no doubt, for his own pleasure. Part I Variations featured dancers wearing contemporary leotards and dance skirts. With a distinctly Robbins flair, they became a painting in motion, exuding feeling. Emilie Gerrity, corps de ballet, and Lauren Lovette, soloist, were captivating in their duet. Part II Variations offered several gems. Tiler Peck and Gonzalo Garcia were playful and fun to see. Amar Ramasar, who joined NYCB in 2001 and became principal dancer in 2009, continues to grow as he matures, with fully developed expression and superb partnering. Maria Kowroski's long lines filled the stage. There was a cornucopia of beauty and joy via this coupling of dancers and choreography. Only the second group of corps de ballet in blue seemed to misunderstand the Robbins' spirit, particularly in their runs with knees bent, kicking back. Towards the end of Part II, the dancers changed into Baroque style costumes. Arthurs and Catazaro then returned in contemporary costumes. Finally, there was a group salute to the pianist, unusual and fitting.
