The Met Opera’s Apolitical “Whipped Cream” Exposes the Anxiety of Joy
A marriage on the stage between contemporary “lowbrow” pop surrealist Mark Ryden and 19th to 20th Century German opera composer Richard Strauss is unexpected. Yet the Ryden-designed “Whipped Cream,” an adaptation of Strauss’s 1924 ballet by the same name in Austrian, “Schlagobers,” played at the Met Opera from May 23 to July 1, and the marriage made sense. It even carried a warning, in spite of both artists’ intent to eschew morals. [Read more…] about The Met Opera’s Apolitical “Whipped Cream” Exposes the Anxiety of Joy
Wahlburgers Becomes a Welcomed Neighbor in the Upper East Side
Wahlburgers just might be your new casual dining hotspot this summer and beyond in Manhattan. Its first location in NYC opened up earlier this year to much fanfare and hype, given the history of not only its restaurant but the reality series of the same name that has aired on the A&E network for seven seasons. With its superstar brothers behind it (Mark & Donnie), as well as its owner and head chef Paul creating the endless ideas for Wahlbugers menus, it seems as if the Boston based franchise is here to stay in The Big Apple.

Theater Reviews: “The Traveling Lady” and “Cost of Living”
Playwright Horton Foote’s The Traveling Lady premiered on Broadway in October of 1954. Although it ran less than a month and is not one of his better known works, its’ depiction of complex connection and longing remains-63 years later–deeply profound and insightful in Director Austin Pendleton’s latest Off-Broadway production at the Cherry Lane Theatre.

“Manhattan” is Back on the Big Screen
While we all love our city in our own way, few of us can claim to have the same raw passion for New York as the legendary writer/director, Woody Allen. So many of his early masterpieces were set in the city, including much–loved movies like Annie Hall and Hannah, and his admiration and adoration of New York shone through in each and every one of them. Of all of Allen’s homages to the Big Apple, perhaps his most glorious celebration of the city comes in the Gershwin–scored classic, Manhattan. From the moment he starts eulogizing about the city offscreen to the soaring strings of “Rhapsody in Blue,” to the end credits, this is a film that is utterly in love with its locations.
