The 10th Adelaide Cabaret Festival in Australia will take place from June 11 - 26, 2010 at the Adelaide Festival Centre, under the direction of the new artistic director, David Campbell.

Just ask Shoshana Bean whose Facebook petition - Bring Shoshana Bean to Adelaide when she comes to Australia - worked. Bean who has appeared on Broadway in Wicked and Hairspray, and starred in Jerry Mitchell's Peepshow in Las Vegas, will play the Festival June 25 and 26 in a show she describes as "some good ol' dirty blues and soul."

The Adelaide Festival touts unforgettable nights of music, satire, comedy, storytelling and an opportunity to dance the night away.

To make it all happen the Adelaide Festival Centre complex is transformed into 10 different cabaret venues plus bars, cafes, restaurants, clubs and comfy nooks to chat and enjoy a drink. The venues have tables and chairs and the audience may take drinks with them into the performances.

There will be 12 international shows, 12 Adelaide premieres, including 9 Australian premieres and 7 world premieres - coming together to create over 200 performances across the 16 nights of the Festival.

While on the subject of pruning, Trevor Ashley will perform Liza (on an E), with his cheeky channeling of one of cabaret’s superstars, dishing the dirt and singing the songs in true diva style and Sarah-Louise Young transforms between three comic creations in the Australian premiere of Cabaret Whore. The transformation continues with Italian performer Ennio Marchetto, the one-man-living-cartoon, who uses paper costumes to morph into well-known artists within split seconds.

The father/daughter duo Dick & Christa Hughes come together in 21st Century Blues. The Divine Cabaret is written and performed by Geraldine Quinn, Mark Jones and Karlis Zaid.

ART AND ABOUT

RUDE BRITANNIA: BRITISH COMIC ART

Margaret Harrison Banana Woman 1971 Tate Museum

at the Tate Britain London art gallery is a special exhibition that analyzes how artists have used humor in various mediums.

Gasp, cringe, or have a sly chuckle: Rude Britannia will certainly cause a reaction. See politicians brought down to size and the great and the good exposed; blush at the saucy postcards and laugh out loud at the slapstick fun - but watch out for that banana skin!

Put together with some the country’s best-known cartoonists and comedy writers, this exhibition explores British comic art from the 1600s to the present day. Bringing together a wide array of paintings, sculptures, film and photography, as well as graphic art and comic books, the exhibition celebrates a rich history of cartooning and visual jokes.

Rude Britannia: British Comic Art will also open-up debate on the part of humor in British culture.

A special section devoted to rude humor such as saucy seaside postcards by Donald McGill and works by Sarah Lucas and Aubrey Beardsley. Also on show will be Edward Lear's eccentrically absurd pictures and Hogarth's satires of Georgian society. The ever-popular works by Gerald Scarfe, poking fun at the Government, will also be showcased.

The room on the Absurd is curated by comedian Harry Hill, and includes such diverse materials as Alice in Wonderland illustrations, David Shrigley’s sculpture, and films by Edwina Ashton and Oliver Michaels . Within the Bawdy, Donald McGill’s smutty seaside postcards can be seen with works by artists as different as Aubrey Beardsley, Sarah Lucas, and Grayson Perry. The rooms exploring Politics, Social Satire and Cruikshank's Victorian masterpiece The Worship of Bacchus, have been put together with Gerald Scarfe, Steve Bell, and the cartoonists from Viz. These show the power of comic art as a form of social and political commentary throughout history, from satires of Georgian society by Rowlandson and Gillray to Spitting Image's damning Thatcher puppet.

Attendees are advised to bring their sense of humor. June 9, 2010 - September 5, 2010 at the Tate Britain.

THE MUSIC GOES ROUND AND ROUND

MAME with music and lyrics by Jerry Herman, who won a Grammy Award for this cast album.

From the Golden Era of Broadway musicals, the original Broadway cast starred Angela Lansbury, who is currently nominated for her 6th Tony Award. She won her first Tony Award for her title character role in this production. Her co-star was Beatrice Arthur who took home the Tony Award, for Best Featured Actress in a Musical, for her role as Vera Charles. The other talented cast members are: Frankie Michaels who also received a Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical, Charlotte Jones, Johanna Douglas, Randy Kirby, Sab Shimono, Charles Braswell, Jane Connell, Williard Waterman, Jerry Lanning, George Coe, Margaret Hall, John C. Becher, Diana Walker, Diane Coupe.

This CD also features five bonus tracks featuring Jerry Herman at the piano and singer Alice Borden. Herman, who has never claimed to be a singer, gives what only Jerry Herman can deliver - the composer playing and singing his own hit songs; St. Bridget, It's Today, Camouflage which was cut from the show, Open A New Window and Mame.

Musical director and vocal arranger Donald Pippin. Orchestrations by Philip J. Lang. From the vibrant overture to the finale, Mame doesn't contain a weak song or arrangement.

Based on Patrick Dennis' 1955 novel Auntie Mame and the hit play and film it inspired, Herman's musical version was the final blockbuster of the 1965-66 Broadway season, making a star of veteran character actress Angela Lansbury and introducing one of Herman’s most popular scores.

There is the unforgettable and effervescent title song, the haunting show stopping, If He Walked Into My Life, which had become a chart topping Eydie Gorme hit by the time Mame opened on Broadway, and a song that has turned into an annual favorite, We Need a Little Christmas.

There is also Jane Connell who, as pregnant Agnes Gooch, explains how that happened in Gooch's Song. While on stage she was a scene stealer, hearing it via CD is still delightful. The words speak for themselves. Listening to Open a New Window is a better prescription than any antidepressant medication. Putting the proper edge on the clever and bitchy Bosom Buddies are Angela Lansbury and Bea Arthur.

The only down side to the recording that neither the original 78 LP nor this re-issue give even a remote reference to any of the musicians. All stellar, especially the brass section which is prominent on several numbers.

Mame opened on May 24, 1966 at the Winter Garden Theatre. Three years later, it transferred to The Broadway Theatre, where it remained until closing. Between the two venues, it ran a total of 1,508 performances.

The show received eight Tony nominations, winning three. The original cast album was recorded May 29, 1966, in Columbia 30th Street Studio, New York, NY. The producer was Goddard Lieberson. Original Engineer Fred Plaut. Reissue Producer Thomas Z. Shepherd. Reissue Engineer Darcy M. Proper.

This new CD released by Masterworks Broadway has an eco-friendly package.

FRED ASTAIRE'S WIDOW SUES ASTAIRE AWARDS

Fred Astaire's widow, Robyn Astaire filed a lawsuit in Manhattan Federal Court, which claims his daughter, Phyllis Ava Astaire McKenzie, is using the famous dancer's name without permission to promote The Fred and Adele Astaire Awards, - the gala slated for June 7 in the Gerald W. Lynch Theater at John Jay College in New York City.

Robyn Astaire also sued the Career Transition For Dancers and producers Patricia Watt and Yaron Glucksman, according to the Courthouse News Service who filed the report on May 28, 2010.

Robyn Astaire wanted her late husband’s name removed from the event, which this year intended to raise funds for Career Transitions for Dancers, a not-for-profit organization that enables dancers to define their career possibilities and develop the skills necessary to excel in a variety of disciplines. That group immediately removed itself from the proceedings after learning of the lawsuit.

The New York Times reported on May 31 that Astaire's widow "stopped approving the use of her late husband’s name several years ago." Astaire's widow had previously granted the awards show the right to the Astaire name, but revoked her approval in 2006 due to a change in the "nature and character" of the event, according to the Times.

The complaint sought an injunction for the impending awards ceremony and also filed for damages of $275,000 or more. On Tuesday, June 1, the court considered the temporary restraining order request, which wasn't granted since Career Transition for Dancers had already withdrawn itself from the event.

Tony Award winner Ben Vereen is set to host the gala. Emmy Award-winning High School Musical director and choreographer Kenny Ortega will be presented with the Douglas Watt Lifetime Achievement Award.

Lee Roy Reams will direct the evening that will feature performances by singer Robin Cofer, Evidence Dance Company and a tribute to both Ortega and Reams. Reams will perform with dancers who once performed with Fred Astaire.

The Astaire Awards, established 26 years ago by the Anglo-American Contemporary Dance Foundation, recognize outstanding achievement in dance on Broadway each season.

During the two years of the Exposition, the Globe presented abbreviated versions of Shakespeare’s plays performed in repertory. One of the fair’s most popular events was Dancing on the Green where the Shakespeare troupe would perform Elizabethan-era dances on the lawn in front of the theater. With a nod to its past, the Globe will once again present short scenes from Shakespeare’s plays and Elizabethan dancing at the Open House event.

SIR PAUL McCARTNEY

Sir Paul McCartney receives The Gershwin Prize from President Obama

winner of The Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, an award given to a composer or performer for their lifetime contributions to popular music. Created in 2007 by the Library of Congress, the prize is named for brothers George and Ira Gershwin.

McCartney was presented with the award last Wednesday in the East Room of the White House, with an all-star line-up performing some of the former Beatle's greatest hits.

Stevie Wonder had the Obamas clapping to We Can Work It Out, the Jonas Brothers did Baby You Can Drive My Car. British star Corinne Bailey Rae slowed things down with Blackbird. and Elvis Costello crooned Penny Lane.

Others performers included Emmylou Harris, White Stripes singer and guitarist Jack White and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl. Comedian Jerry Seinfeld served as Master of Ceremonies.

Playing the same bass from when the Beatles performed on TV's Ed Sullivan Show in the 1960s, it was the honoree who stole the show by singing - partly in French - the love ballad Michelle, to First Lady Michelle Obama who seemed to enjoy every note. She began mouthing the words along with McCartney while the president was swaying in his seat.

McCartney told the crowd that despite all of the awards he has received in his career, performing before the Obamas in the East Room was a thrill.

"For an English kid growing up in Liverpool, the White House - that's pretty special," he said.

Previous recipients of The Gershwin Prize, America's highest award for popular music, are Paul Simon (2007) and Stevie Wonder (2009).

The music for the event was taped for a PBS special, which will air on PBS July 28.

OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY

LAWYERS FOR ABBA actually the mouthpieces for Universal Music in Sweden, have dispatched legal notices to more than 15 Abba tribute acts telling them to stop using the name "Abba," citing an infringement of the band's intellectual property rights. The acts have all been ordered to change their names immediately.

Abba does not license out their name, with tribute acts paying to use it - a practice employed by some iconic names.

TENNIS PLAYER RAFAEL NADAL has been playing tennis at the French Open wearing a watch. We're not sure how often a tennis player looks at his watch while trying to hit the ball. This isn't your typical timepiece. Rather, an RM 027 Tourbillon, which sounds like it should be a fancy-schmancy sports car - especially since it costs about same - $535,000 - before sales tax. A Porsche Carrera GT is only $484,000.

Nadal is under contract with Richard Mille, a prestigious Swiss watch brand that is young, expensive and exclusive. Only 50 of them are being made and we're guessing they'll fly off the shelf.

Brazilian Formula 1 driver Felipe Massa also wears a similar model in every Grand Prix, which may mean that there are only 48 for purchase.

The watch is called "a technical wonder". It weighs 20 grams, the case is made of carbon-based composite material. The tiny parts in its delicate mechanism are made of titanium, magnesium, zirconium and copper. No figure given on how much it costs to replace the battery.

PHANTOM OF THE OPERA HEADS TO HIGH SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES

See below on how to enter our contest to win a wonderful Phantom of the Opera poster courtesy of R&H Theatricals.

Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera will soon be haunting high schools and colleges around the country. For the first time ever, high school and college students in the US and Canada will have the chance to be a part of Broadway’s longest running musical. R&H Theatricals, a division of The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization (RHO), will be accepting license requests immediately for performances beginning on September 1st, 2010.

"Andrew's passion for bringing young people into the musical theater is so deeply felt that he has authorized us to release Phantom to schools even while it continues to thrive on Broadway and all over the globe," notes Ted Chapin president of R&H Theatricals, an Imagem Company and a division of The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization (RHO). "We always believed that school performances of Phantom would bring out the best in each and every student, and the pilot productions we saw across America more than confirmed that belief."

Anticipating the release of Phantom to schools, R&H Theatricals created a pilot project working closely with RUG (Lloyd Webber's Really Useful Group). In the 2007-8 academic year, Phantom was presented - in full productions and in its entirety - by two colleges and four high schools: Baldwin-Wallace College, Berea, Ohio; Elon University, Elon, North Carolina; Carroll Senior High School, Westlake, Texas; Nyack High School, Nyack, New York; Fairfield Senior High School, Fairfield, Ohio; and Capital High School, Charleston, West Virginia.

"Phantom was “a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” said Stacie Martinsen of Carroll Senior High School. “It helped our department’s recognition level go through the roof, and the number of kids who wanted to be involved in theater after Phantom nearly doubled.”Phantom was "more profitable and [received] far more media attention than any other show we've produced," said Mindy Reed of Fairfield Senior High School. "It helped gain respect from the community for our theatre program." It was a "wonderful opportunity" for Baldwin-Wallace College, said administrator Scott Plane. "There was a great deal of 'buzz' about this piece that generated a kind of energy we don't usually experience, which helped our program grow. I'd recommend Phantom to any school that wishes to push themselves; it's ultimately extremely rewarding."

The Phantom of the Opera features music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, lyrics by Charles Hart, additional lyrics by Richard Stilgoe, and a book by Richard Stilgoe and Andrew Lloyd Webber. Based on the classic novel Le Fantôme de l’Opéra by Gaston Leroux, The Phantom of the Opera tells the story of a masked figure who lurks beneath the catacombs of the Paris Opera House, exercising a reign of terror over all who inhabit it. He falls madly in love with an innocent young soprano, Christine, and devotes himself to creating a new star by nurturing her extraordinary talents and by employing all of the devious methods at his command.

EQUUS

Alec Baldwin

by Peter Shaffer. Directed by Tony Walton. Starring Alec Baldwin and Sam Underwood.

Equus features Alec Baldwin as the over-extended psychiatrist, Martin Dysart, who is faced with the most challenging case of his career, brought to him by magistrate Hesther Salomon (Kathleen McNenny).

A young man, Alan Strang (Sam Underwood), who is obsessed with horses, has committed a horrifying crime with no clear reason as to cause.

The boy doesn't seem a dangerously atypical seventeen year old and yet, throughout their sessions, Dysart is forced to question his own sadly dispassionate life as he searches for the answer - or for a cure - to the boy's lethal psychological chaos.

The show is a limited run from June 8 - July 3 at Guild Hall in East Hampton, NY.

On Friday, June 11, an Opening Night Benefit dinner is scheduled. Cocktails, a light supper and then the performance, followed by a meet and greet plus an invitation to the cast and crew party.

LES MISERABLES will be welcoming Nick Jonas to the cast in what will be his London theatre debut. The 17-year-old Jonas Brothers singer will take over the role of Marius in Britain's longest-running musical at the Queen's Theatre in for a three-week period from June 21.

According to publicity releases Nick was first earmarked for the role when he was just 10 years old after being spotted by producer Cameron Mackintosh playing Gavroche in the production's run on New York's Broadway.

Cameron told the Daily Mail newspaper: "I went up to him at the closing night party in New York and told him he was terrific and hoped that one day he would return to play Marius. We've been in touch a lot and, of course, since then he has become this world-famous star.

Song and dance sequences will depict key events in his life, although not all of the music is original. The actor playing the part of Agca, will sing a famous Italian song from the 1960s called God Is Dead which the director told the press "fits the situation perfectly."
