My entertainment pallet for the weekend is now full and, man, it really looks like an outstanding time. This is what I will be doing:
Friday - 8:00 - American Symphony Orchestra @ Lincoln Center - “A New Italian Renaissance - Giuseppe Verdi -Triumphal March from Aida (1871); Gian Francesco Malipiero -Pause del Silenzio I (1917)( U.S. Premiere ); Giuseppe Martucci -Symphony No. 2 (1904); Ildebrando Pizzetti -Three Preludes to Sophocles' Oedipus (1903)( U.S. Premiere ); Alfredo Casella -Italia, Rhapsody for Orchestra (1909); and Ottorino Respighi -Fountains of Rome (1914-16).” Complimentary ticket.
Saturday - 2:00 - From Up Here (Off-Broadway) - “Kenny Barret did something that has everyone worried. He wishes he could just make it through the rest of his senior year unnoticed, but that's going to be hard since he has to publicly apologize to his entire high school. At home, his family is struggling with second marriages, surprise visits, school dances and forgotten dry cleaning. A darkly funny and unexpectedly moving family story, this world premiere is written by newcomer Liz Flahive and directed by Leigh Silverman (Well). The cast will feature Jenni Barber, Arija Bareikis, Aya Cash, Brian Hutchison, Will Rogers, Tobias Segal, Joel Van Liew, and Tony Award winner Julie White.” Complimentary ticket
8:00 - Almost An Evening (Off-Broadway) - “Written by Ethan Coen and directed by Neil Pepe. Almost an Evening consists of 3 one-act plays: Waiting - someone waits somewhere for quite some time; Four Benches - his voyage to self-discovery takes a British intelligence agent to steam baths in New York and Texas, and to park benches in the U.S. and U.K.; Debate - cosmic questions are taken up - not much is learned. Cast members include: F. Murray Abraham and Mark Linn-Baker.” Discounted TDF ticket.
Then, ending the weekend on Sunday --
3:00 - Boeing-Boeing (Broadway) - “BOEING-BOEING follows Bernard, an architect living in Paris, who has been successfully juggling three fiances who are all flight attendants. Bernards housekeeper reluctantly plays romantic air-traffic controller as they fly in and out of his swank bachelor pad. However, when an old college pal visits, things get rather turbulent as schedules change, flights are delayed and chaos ensues.” Discounted TDF ticket.
8:00 - The Kids in the Hall. Full price ticket
Not bad, not bad.
Oh, I guess I should mention that I haven’t heard from Yankee Manager Joe Girardi but you Fuck Sox nit-wits are filling my in-box with spam - stop it already.
