The ladies who lunch, and then some

Where else are you going to see Patti LuPone, Sherie Renee Scott, Laura Benanti and Justin Guarini on the same stage? Only in New York, my friend. And if you have some time and some spare cash, you could see it sooner than you think.

A blast from the past (in French)

By Aaron Edwards • September 28, 2010

"Quand il me prend dans ses bras, Il me parle tout bas, Je vois la vie en rose." Sound familiar? Those are the lyrics to "La Vie En Rose," the popular Edith Piaf classic that almost perfectly captures the very heart and soul of France. In the 1940s, that song graced concert halls across the…

Young people auditioning for Broadway shows. Don't steal my idea,…

JGL does it up in NYC

By Aaron Edwards • September 18, 2010

Is there nothing Joseph Gordon-Levitt can't do? He's successfully performed Inception, tackled the complex dialogue of the film-noir homage "Brick" and even came face to face with death (or a really bad set of stitches) while riding a bike [graphic] in New York City.
