“There are very few musicals that were written years ago that feel like they were created this morning!!!” We just got tickets for the highly anticipated Broadway revival of West Side Story for January 15th at 8:00 pm in the Orchestra for $155. Email me to save your spot!!! The dancing looks amazing..I cannot wait!!!
When four theatrical giants — Jerome Robbins, Leonard Bernstein, Arthur Laurents and Stephen Sondheim — created West Side Story, it was immediately hailed as an “indisputable, boundary-busting masterpiece” (The New York Times) that “explodes every imaginable idea of what a musical can be” (New York Magazine). Now, three of the most daring theater-makers of our time — director Ivo van Hove (A View From the Bridge and The Crucible), choreographer Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker, and designer and frequent Van Hove collaborator Jan Versweyveld — offer a radical, thrilling new interpretation of this iconic work, with extraordinary dancing, breathtaking vision, and 23 young, brilliantly gifted performers all making their Broadway debuts. Don’t miss this opportunity to see a landmark in musical theater history as if for the very first time.
Earlier this week I attend the Kip’s Bay Decorator Show House in the Arthur Sachs Mansion on East 66th street in Manhattan. Kips Bay is one of the premier show houses in the country with 43 years in existence and showcasing 22 of the worlds prominent designers and architects. Each designer is given 8 weeks to transform their distinct space. The overall effect was to revive the 5 floors, 9600 square feet of the historic townhouse. This year the rooms did not disappoint. There were many dramatic colors and patterns, as well as lacquered walls and furniture, a huge winding staircase, canopy beds and hidden glamorous wet bars throughout. Even though all of these exquisite elements were celebrated, I really was excited to see the 3rd floor “tradition with a twist” bathroom that my dear friend and neighbor Peter Sinnott designed. Peter is a Principal, Senior Designer and Creative Director in a local design team, HOME WORKS. He is so talented, so it is no surprise that he was given this HUGE honor to have his incredible talent and work on display in this year’s show house. Kudos to you Peter and keep up the fabulous, inspiring work!!!!
