BROADWAY'S MY FAIR LADY IS THE FAIREST OF THEM ALL

My Fair Lady Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe’s 1956 musical, based on George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, is a type of Cinderella story, and the current revival on Lincoln Center's Vivian Beaumont stage is the fairest of them all.

Winning combinations are a rare commodity. The pairing of Lincoln Center with director Bartlett Sher who gave us the astounding The King and I as well as winning the Tony for South Pacific are responsible for this splendorous production.

Expect My Fair Lady to receive a lot of award nominations.

Appropriate is the use of any and all superlatives. Pick your favorite and consider it an understatement.

Starring two-time Emmy Award nominee Lauren Ambrose (as Eliza Doolittle), Harry Hadden-Paton (making his NY stage debut as Henry Higgins), two-time Tony Award winner Norbert Leo Butz (as Alfred P. Doolittle), Tony Award winner Dame Diana Rigg (as Mrs. Higgins), Allan Corduner (as Colonel Pickering), and Jordan Donica (as Freddy Eynsford-Hill).

Although Eliza Doolittle sells flowers, she's no wallflower, displaying the spunk and sass of a survivalist. Harry Hadden-Paton as Henry Higgins may be intellectually wiser than Eliza, but is not old enough to be her father - as is the case in other productions.

Higgins is a professor who boasts that he can turn a flower seller into somebody he could pass off as a duchess. You sense that while he doesn't display empathy, he not a mean bully - he just behaves the way he feels a professor is expected to behave. After all, he is a man. He's trying to be helpful, improve the girl - a girl he can't help but love.

His renditions of I'm An Ordinary Man and Hymn To Him (Why Can't A Women) are high points of Hadden-Patton's performance. He uses more of his voice than Tony and Oscar winning Rex Harrison who memorably talked the songs.

Diana Rigg in grande dame grandeur is Henry Higgins mother who is totally annoyed at her son, suggesting a subconscious admiration for Eliza's stubborn streak. It's apparent that she doesn't suffer fools lightly, and there are times when she thinks her son is one. There is even a suffragist march in one of the ensemble scenes.

Two time Tony award winner Norbert Leo Butz is over the top as Eliza's sauced father who would happily sell her for five pounds and later parties with scarlet clad dance hall floozies, and a cross dressing bride-and-groom, and is hilariously carried off to his own wedding. His Get Me to the Church on Time, is show stopping and demonstrates Christopher Gattelli’s energetic and clever choreography.

Mchael Yeargan's scenic designs - sometimes using a turntable set - are loverly, from an Edwardian English townhouse, flower market, street scene, bar, or ball.

One of the funniest scenes in any musical is My Fair Lady's opening day as Ascot races. To mess around with that scene is one way to destroy the show. The scene is perfect! Zuber's use of silver and hues in the lavender range are stunning and royally aloof.

In a gold gown, Eliza descending the staircase at the Embassy ballroom is elegance at its best.

On the Street Where You Live belongs to Jordan Donica as the besotted Freddy, played as a total twerp.

Allan Corduner as Pickering, Higgens' friend and confident hints of an emotional and intelligent texture which is hidden underneath a buttoned up English suit in other productions.

This is a musical about class and gender - making the characters are complex. Sher has permitted their complexity to show. The nod towards equality is there, but it's gentle, rather than shocking changes which can, at least temporarily, distract the audience from enjoying a production as they comprehend what they have just seen or heard.

This production marks the first Broadway revival in 25 years. Sher demonstrate that you can be current, relevant and stay true to the period classic without alienating or making controversy the name above the title.

This is a musical and the 29-piece orchestra is phenomenal. Their playing makes numbers like I Could Have Danced All Night; The Rain in Spain; Wouldn’t It Be Loverly; I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face, and On the Street Where You Live. a joy to hear and reminds the audience that the backbone of a musical is always - the music.

Costumes by Catherine Zuber are sumptuous. Exquisite lighting by Donald Holder and sounds balanced to perfection by Marc Salzberg.

Henry Higgins opining I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face is his recognition that he's changed too little, too late.

What Shear has done is return the ending to the one Shaw wrote, rather than the one Lerner and Lowe created - which heart-on-your-sleeve romantics won't like. The Shaw ending is not a definitive one. Audience members are left to to draw their own conclusions as to the final relationship between Eliza and Henry. In an unusual but effective ending, despite tenderly touching Henry's cheek, Eliza leaves, in a dramatic exit - walking up an aisle through the audience.

In addition to the above mentioned stars the musical features: Linda Mugleston, Manu Narayan, Cameron Adams, Shereen Ahmed, Kerstin Anderson, Heather Botts, John Treacy Egan, Rebecca Eichenberger, SuEllen Estey, Christopher Faison, Steven Trumon Gray, Adam Grupper, Michael Halling, Joe Hart, Sasha Hutchings, Kate Marilley, Liz McCartney, Justin Lee Miller, Rommel Pierre O'Choa, Keven Quillon, JoAnna Rhinehart, Tony Roach, Lance Roberts, Blair Ross, Christine Cornish Smith, Paul Slade Smith, Samantha Sturm, Matt Wall, Michael Williams, Minami Yusui and Lee Zarret

MUSIC AND ACTING ELEVATE DATED AND UNCOMFORTABLE SCRIPTS IN BROADWAY PRODUCTIONS CAROUSEL AND CHILDREN OF A LESSER GOD

CHILDREN OF A LESSER GOD

Lauren Ridloff and Joshua Jackson. Photos by Matthew Murphy

which, when first staged in 1980 won a Tony award and then released as a movie resulting in a best-actress Oscar for Marlee Matlin in the 1986 film adaptation, was ground breaking, depicting the professional and personal challenges faced by the deaf community. Today this Broadway revival of Mark Medoff's Tony Award-winning drama is - fortunately - dated, even though there still exists a rivalry among the deaf community as to whether to use American Sign Language or attempt to speak.

The revival at Studio 54 may have a script trapped within the cobwebs of social and medical process, but the acting is impressive The play stars Joshua Jackson as James Leeds and the thirty-nine-year-old deaf actress Lauren Ridloff as Sarah Norman. Also in the cast are Julee Cerda as Edna Klein, a lawyer who acts on behalf of the students; Treshelle Edmond as Lydia a student with some hearing who adds comic relief, Kecia Lewis in a powerful performance as Sarah's mother; Anthony Edwards as Mr. Franklin and John McGinty as deaf student Orin Dennis who strongly feels that all deaf students must stick together. His performance is particularly outstanding.

With the exception of Lewis and Edmond, all of the actors are making their Broadway debut.

Directed by Kenny Leon, Jackson plays speech therapist James Leeds, who fall in love with Ridloff's character of Sarah Norman who earns money working as a janitor. Leeds is tutoring her even though she has an aversion to speaking and wants to sign; Ridloff does say a few words in the play. In her private life, Ridloff prefers to sign.

Taking his role seriously Jackson learned American Sign Language, so that audience members who know ASL wouldn't see that the lead actor was faking with false hand gestures. .

For those in the audience who don't hear supertitles of the dialogue and descriptions of the music are projected above the stage.

A former Miss Deaf America, Ridloff is exquisite - both in appearance and performance. Because she signs her part, one is constantly looking at her fingers, which are stunningly long and graceful. The type of fingers usually associated with a concert pianist. In this production Ridloff plays her fingers like a musical instrument.

Costumer Dede Ayite makes the most of Ridloff's slim and agile body dressing her in era appropriate outfits ranging from almost defiant stance jeans to effervescent dresses.

Other creatives are: director of sign language, Alexandria Wailes; sets, Derek McLane; lighting, Mike Baldassari; sound, Jill BC De Boff; original music, Branford Marsalis; production stage manager, Cambra Overend.

CAROUSEL

Jessica Mueller and Joshua Henry in Carousel. Photo by Julieta Cervantes

that iconic musical by Rodgers & Hammerstein has a score which I could listen to all day. The Carousel Waltz, June Is Bustin' Out All Over; If I Loved You; This Was a Real Nice Clambake; Blow High, Blow Low and - of course - You'll Never Walk Alone. One reason to see this revival at the Imperial Theatre is to hear none other than Renée Fleming, in her Broadway debut as Julie' cousin Nettie Fowler, stop the show with her enthralling and memorable rendition.

Carousel is a period piece; the second musical by the team of Richard Rodgers (music) and Oscar Hammerstein II (book and lyrics). The 1945 work was adapted from Ferenc Molnár's 1909 play Liliom, transplanting its Budapest setting to the Maine coastline.

The story revolves around carousel barker Billy Bigelow, whose romance with millworker Julie Jordan comes at the price of both their jobs. He participates in a robbery to provide for Julie and their unborn child; after it goes tragically wrong, he is given a chance to make things right. A secondary plot line deals with millworker Carrie Pipperidge and her romance with ambitious fisherman, the odoriferous Enoch Snow. Pipperidge adores him so much that she learns to love the smell of fish.

The elephant in the room always has been the physical violence Billy Bigelow (Joshua Henry) - though unseen - displays towards his wife Julie Jordan and her enabling reaction of thinking-up-excuses-for-him.

In this revised revival directed by three time Tony Award winner Jack O’Brien those starring roles are sung splendidly by Joshua Henry and Jessie Mueller.

It is Henry who performs the lengthy, important and dramatic Soliloquy, and Henry has the voice to carry it off.

The supporting cast is important and impressive. Lindsay Mendez as Carrie Pipperidge who sings (When) I Marry Mr. Snow and Alexander Gemignani as Enoch Snow After they marry and fruitfully multiply - and multiply nonstop - they sing When the Children Are Asleep.

In a non singing role the versatile, veteran actor Margaret Colin is cast as seen-it-all, possessive carnival owner Mrs. Mullin who also has eyes for Billy - and won' take rejection for an answer.

Evil doer Jigger Craigin is played by ballet dancer Amar Ramasar who is making his noteworthy Broadway debut. The Starkeeper who permits Billy to return to earth for one day is played by famed Shakespearean actor John Douglas Thompson. Brittany Pollack, in her Broadway debut, portrays Louise the daughter of Billy and Julie who was born after Billy died.

Carousel boasts wonderful dancing and choreography. Photo by Julieta Cervantes

Justin Peck's choreography is powerful, interesting and spellbinding. Dancers turn into carousel horses. The ballet dancers become a boat and the sea waves. It all seamlessly flows together.

The dancers/chorus are robust, earnest and appear to be having a good time when they kick up their heels in a show stopping Blow High, Blow Low and let their vocal chords show off during This Was a Real Nice Clambake and June is Bustin' Out All Over.

To sum up the show by taking liberties with a song's lyric: it was a real nice clambake and you will be mighty glad you came.

ART AND ABOUT

A KALEIDOSCOPE OF COLOR: THE COSTUME DESIGNS OF MILES WHITE

Miles White, Gena Lipowska & Charles Moroski Liberty Act, 1951. Tibbals Circus Collection

Elephants transformed into swans, beautiful girls turned into birthday cakes, and clowns became kings.

These whimsical visions are captured in the drawings of the two-time Tony Award winning costume designer Miles White (1914-2000). Paired with original costumes and contemporary photographs, White’s spectacular drawings evoke the adventurous era of design that emerged in mid-century American performance.

This exhibition includes original sketches, watercolors, swatchbooks, and their production documents. Some drawings are paired with actual wardrobe pieces and historic photographs.

In 1941 Miles White joined a team tasked with re-conceptualizing the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus and updating it for the modern age. Under the leadership of industrial designer Norman Bel Geddes, the vision was to unify the entire circus day experience, including the presentation under the big top by thoughtfully coordinating the design elements of color, light and visual rhythm. The twenty-seven-year-old White brought to the team a modern sensibility for costume design, characterized by vivid colors, airy fabrics and a balanced concern for both function and style.

White’s sketches are captivating not only for their unique content, but also for the artist’s exuberant use of color as well as his beautiful, gestural renderings of the proposed costumes. To explore White’s artistic accomplishments, the exhibition is organized around two central themes: transformations and productions.

The whimsical quality of White’s circus designs is most evident in his clever ideas to mask the body, human or animal, and allow viewers to perceive the familiar as something totally different. White’s talent for orchestrating color, texture and movement to create unforgettable productions for the circus are also explored through designs prepared for the 1952 circus spectacular entitled The Good Old Days. In White’s imagination, a circus clown transformed into Queen Elizabeth I and Hannibal’s elephants become the Alps.

The exhibition is drawn from more than 600 original sketches by Miles White that are part of the Tibbals Circus Collection housed in the Museum’s Archives.

White also spent over 25 years designing for Broadway. He is known in the entertainment industry for his well rendered, prolific, imaginative and witty designs. White designed costumes for Rodgers and Hammerstein's first two Broadway hits, Oklahoma! and Carousel. He won Tony Awards for Hazel Flagg (1953) and Bless You All (1951) and was nominated for Tricks (1973), Milk and Honey (l962), Take Me Along (1960), Jamaica (1958), Time Remembered (1958), and · Oh, Captain! (1958).

White designed for five movies, and he received Oscar nominations for three of them - The Greatest Show on Earth, There's No Business Like Show Business, and Mike Todd's Around the World in 80 Days.

White also made contributions to such films as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), Bye Bye Birdie (1963), and The Unsinkable Molly Brown (1964). His costumes were worn by the likes of Carol Channing, Tallulah Bankhead, Bette Davis, and Lena Horne.

White died on February 17, 2000. Famed costume designer William Ivey Long referred to Miles White as "his hero," in a recording made of the March 20, 2000, memorial service at the York Theater. In this audio recording, he also cited White's "exquisite drawings," works of art in themselves, in addition to their role as working design sketches.

A Kaleidoscope of Color: The Costume Designs of Miles White opens today, April 22, 2018 and is on display through August 5, 2018 at The Ringling in Sarasota, Florida.

SWEET CHARITY

QUEEN ELIZABETH celebrated her 92nd birthday last night, Saturday, April 21, by attending a birthday concert at Royal Albert Hall. The Birthday Girl still holds down a full time job and looks decades younger than her real age.

Attending the concert with her were Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla, Prince William sans Kate who was home awaiting the any day now birth of her third child, Prince Harry and soon to be wife Meghan Markle, Prince Edward and Countess Sophie and their daughter Lady Louise, Anne, the Princess Royal and her husband Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Lawrence, Prince Andrew and his daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie and a host of other senior royals.

Her husband Prince Philip, 96, couldn't attend since he recently spent 10 days in the hospital having successful hip replacement surgery and was recovering at home.

Sir Tom Jones kicked off the concert with It's Not Unusual. Other performers at the pop concert included: Ed Balls, Frank Skinner, Kylie Minogue surrounded by dancing cowboys, Harry Hill, Sting and Shaggy performing together, Shawn Mendes, Craig David, the group Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Anne-Marie, Donel Mangena and 40 members of the George Formby Society. Part of the program included singers performing songs from famous musicals, including Luke Evans singing songs from from Oklahoma! resulting in Queen Elizabeth enthusiastically clapping. She has said Oklahoma! is one of her favorite musicals. She has also singled out People Will Say We're in Love as a favorite of the royal couple. Songs from the 1930s to the present were performed in honor of the Queen’s long life and video segments of some of her most important speeches were shown.

Queen Elizabeth joined her son Prince Charles on stage and Prince Harry gave a tribute to his grandmother.

The concert, which raised funds for a new youth charity, the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust, will be headed by Prince Harry.

“Tonight we are celebrating The Queen’s Birthday but Your Majesty, if you do not mind me saying, you are not someone who is easy to buy gifts for. But I think we have the perfect present,” Prince Harry told the crowd, referring to the Queen's Commonwealth Trust.

"This organization, in your name, will provide a platform for those working to make a difference in their communities across 53 countries. Happy Birthday Your Majesty.”

RELIGION ACCORDING TO THE BEYONCE MASS

Beyoncé is being used in religion.

Has Beyoncé become too much of an idol worship? Or, is her music leading people to worship?

A Beyoncé Mass will take place at San Francisco's Grace Cathedral, an Episcopalian congregation that regularly hosts concerts, art exhibitions and an annual animal blessing. The religious hierarchy has announced that it will host a special mass devoted to Beyonce's music and accomplishments on Wednesday, April 25.

Hosted by the Vine, a weekly contemporary worship service espousing progressive theology, Grace Cathedral preached: "Come to The Vine SF to sing your Beyoncé favorites and discover how her art opens a window into the lives of the marginalized and forgotten - particularly black females. We’ll be hearing an incredible message from Rev. Yolanda Norton, Assistant Professor of Old Testament at San Francisco Theological Seminary, who also teaches a class called Beyoncé and the Bible."

According to Grace Cathedral, "this special service was created in partnership with the Bible class at SFTS."

Rev. Jude Harmon, founding pastor of the Vine and director of innovative ministry for Grace Cathedral, has stated that plans for the service were made long before Beyoncé’s Coachella show, referring to the Grammy-winning singer's Internet-breaking performance the first weekend of the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival.

Ever since her Lemonade album, people have been religiously reading between the lyrical lines.

Beyoncé's Lemonade and Black Christian were explored in a June 2016 issue of Religion & Politics. Referring to Lemonade: "The visual album centers on the experiences of Black women in America and journeys through the destruction of betrayal towards salvation and redemption."

Several publications have noted the religious undertones of Lemonade.

Christianity Today insisted that "God and women's freedom are tied up together in Beyoncé's Lemonade, wrote Alissa Wilkinson. "Lemonade also boasts a deep religious sense. Its images of water and fire seem torn from a book of prophecy, a personal apocalypse. It relies on the narrative of baptism and redemption . . . Lemonade as a modern-day book of Psalms, which fan across the spectrum from angry shouting to songs of deliverance. We're meant to understand that this is a personal narrative - likely for Beyoncé, but for many other women, and in particular, black women . . . some of it (is) overtly religious: Intuition, Denial, Anger, Apathy, Emptiness, Accountability, Reformation, Forgiveness," continued the publication.

Raised a devout Methodist, Beyoncé has stated she considers herself more "spiritual" than religious.

For those in the religion business, if Beyoncé can bring in the church going customers, then using her isn't beneath the clergy.

“I know there are people who will say using Beyoncé is just a cheap way of trying to get people in the church,” admitted Harmon.. “But Jesus used very provocative images in the stories he would tell to incite people to ask hard questions about their own religious assumptions. He regularly provoked. We’re following in the way of Jesus,”

HELLO AGAIN FILM SOUNDTRACK IS AN INTRIGUING TIME SPANNING EXPERIENCE

Intriguing, mysterious, sometimes eerie and always interestingly composed, arranged, and performed.

Broadway Records has released a soundtrack album for the film adaptation of the musical Hello Again. The album features the songs from the movie performed by cast members including Martha Plimpton, T.R. Knight, Rumer Willis, Cheyenne Jackson, Jenna Ushkowitz, Tyler Blackburn, Sam Underwood, Nolan Gerard Funk and Al Calderon.

A bonus track, Beyond the Moon, orchestrated by Enrico de Trizio features Audra McDonald.

Hello Again the movie is based on the Off-Broadway musical by Michael John LaChiusa, which was inspired by Arthur Schnitzler’s 1896 play, La Ronde (Der Reigen).

The songs don't relate to each other - rather each song reflects a character who appears in two successive scenes - each of which takes place in a different decade. Each song reflects that decade.

"Hello Again chases 10 lost souls across 10 periods in New York City history, in a daisy-chained exploration of love's bittersweet embrace. The pursued becomes the pursuer as they slip in and out of one another's arms, spinning through 10 music-fueled vignettes, which come together in 1 soulful circle."

Considering current headlines the most intriguing tract on this 12 track CD is Tract 10 - 1989 - A Lie/ Mistress of the Senator. The beat is intense. The image of the elected official - referred to as a president - is important. "I'll be anything for you," sings the woman who indicates she needs a career. The aggressive women sings of the White House, and "I'll be anything for you."

If you haven't seen the movie or stage version, you aren't going to understand the storyline of the vignettes. Just enjoy the variety of musical styles and expert singing.

You can even play 'guess the singer' since somebody decided to keep that information a secret.

A dark, mysterious booklet evoking both Gothic and a mind playing fantasy games is design by Robbie Rozzelle. Unusual is that the booklet contains basically photos. There are no lyrics, or information about the subject matter. No liner notes or commentary. Like the score, the booklet requires your imagination to engage in the musical experience.

MEMO to those who thought it was a good idea not to indicate who is singing which Tract. Why? Aren't you harming the performers? Unless one just happens to know, by accident, who performed which segment - and thus gives them credit - it's a guess who? Few, if any, have either the time or inclination to play a parlor game guessing who is singing a song. Why deny a singer their proper credit?

It's also irritating for anyone trying to properly review a product.

When a movie or stage musical is being viewed, it's easy to identify the singer. When you put something out as a recording you can't see who is singing. Identify the singers - otherwise sales will be focused towards only those who have seen the movie.

When one does listen what is first heard is a sexy, female voice saying: "I've been looking for someone. ("Haven't we all," interrupts a male voice) "But, I don't know how to get to there. I don't know where I'm at." That statement is the entirety of Tract I.

Track 2 termed 1901 is a combination of female singing and, occasionally, a male voice injecting a word or two, which seems to have sexual implications. The music is Tract 3 labeled as 1944 begins with a drum beat followed by interesting scatting jazz. I Gotta Little Time/ We Kiss is upbeat and fun. You can practically see the boogie-woogie dancing. It ends slower, with the arrangement featuring the horns. Then the band swings. Tract 3 is a knockout.

Tract 4 is mysterious. Listed as representing 1967 In Some Other Life is dramatic blues progressing to wailing. As are all sections, the vocals are incredible. All of the artists on this CD have the chops to not only sing the notes, but put meaning into the lyrics. Tract 5 Story of My Life reverts back to 1929 with the robust musical style of a West Side Story type of theatrical arrangement.

Tract 6 - 1956 begins with an Elvis type musical beat and a male voice sounding like that legend singing Hello Again. Still on the same tract, The Greatest of Adventures/Tom begins. Performed rapturously by Rumer Willis, who has build up a loyal cabaret show following. Her voice is clear, pure, and flexible in conveying a variety of emotions. She deserves to have a long, successful singing career.

Strings have the ability to sound mysterious and that leads into the lengthy (as compared to the others) Tract 7 - 1912, which suddenly turns into something airy and then longing, questioning, to flippant with lyrics which appear to refer to a gentleman who has had too much wine - suddenly becoming angry and dramatic.

Tract 8 - 1976 - The One I Love/Safe - also a lengthy tract - sung by Cheyenne Jackson and Tyler Blackburn sounds like it's about an actor who wants to direct - himself - as the star. The musical resembles something you'd hear in an outer space adventure. The beat is repetitive and then builds in intensity. The lyrics convey the message that the man doesn't know where he'd been, doesn't know how to get to where he'd going, but just needs some place to stay. Morphing into Safe the music shifts to soft and gentle. The voices of Jackson and Blackburn intertwine beautifully.

Tract 9 - 2002 Beyond the Moon is outer space rock which is punctuated with the sound of a kiss before a more mysterious down to earth beat takes control. Tract 11 - Now - The Bed Was Not My Own and indeed none of the individuals portrayed on this CD are presented as monogamous. The character on this Tract is looking for somebody lying next to her who knowns her name as well as her body.

Tract 12 is the bonus offering featuring Audra McDonald.

Motion picture soundtracks are always interesting because the music is not necessarily one easily understood song after another. Composing for the big screen is an art unto itself. This score is surreal, piercing through perceived musical boundaries evolving into an eclectic soundtrack.

THE 18TH MEET IN BEIJING ARTS FESTIVAL SALUTES ITALY

In this unique project, Roberto Prosseda, challenges a robot-pianist, TeoTronico. They will play the same pieces and the audience will notice how different they can sound, depending on the interpretation. The robot literally follows the indications in the score, without adding anything to it, while Prosseda adds what “interpretation”. Prosseda and TeoTronico will also discuss and debate their own performances, commenting and criticizing each other, in order to stimulate a better perception of the music from the audience.

Meet in Beijing is an annual arts festival sponsored by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, State Administration of Radio and Television and the Beijing municipal government. It's organized by China Arts and Entertainment Group and Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture. This year, Meet in Beijing will attract nearly 800 Chinese and foreign artists from 19 countries and regions with 130 performances and three art exhibitions.

Royal Ballet of Cambodia will take center stage during the festival at the Tianqiao Performing Arts Center on April 28.

Háry János, a Hungarian puppet show, will be performed at the Beijing Tianqiao Art Center from April 30 to May 1. The story involves army veteran Háry, who likes to sit in the village inn and tell fantastic tales of his heroism.

The main character is Háry János, who claims to be a folk hero. He's a veteran hussar of the Austrian army during the first half of the 19th century who sits in the village inn regaling his listeners with fantastic tales of heroism. His supposed exploits include winning the heart of the Empress Marie Louise, the wife of Napoleon, and then single-handedly defeating Napoleon and his armies. Nevertheless, he finally renounces all his riches to go back to his village with his sweetheart. The stories conjured up in his imagination are an inextricable mixture of realism and naivety, of comic humor and pathos. Though superficially he appears to be merely a braggart, essentially he is a natural visionary and poet.

GOOD THOUGHTS SENT TO . . .

GAYLE STAHLHUTH Artistic Director of the East Lynne Theater Company in Cape May, New Jersey and her husband Lee O'Connor whose home was recently totally destroyed by a fire. The gorgeous two story home also was used to house visiting actors who were appearing in an East Lynne Theater production.

They were introduced to Cape May when the company began producing there in 1987. After three years of looking at various properties, they settled on a home, the oldest part of which was built between 1840-1860. As Lee was fond of telling people, "You can tell the age by looking at the nails in the floor."

Fortunately, no one was home when the fire broke out.

In a news release, the East Lynne Theater Company announced it will continue with its 2018 season, which includes 11 productions beginning in May and a student summer workshop in June.
