WACKY. WILD. DAY!

I get about 100 press releases a day. Today was kind of different. I usually get press releases about music, books, interview requests and theater and food events. Today, I got a press release to promote porn. PORN? I opened the release and went to the clients website and found dirty cartoons and a site with half naked women.

Sorry, folks. I wont promote porn on my squeaky clean website. If you are a press agent these are the things I will cover on my site:

Food and wine coverage: My first and favorite thing to cover. Well, really who doesn't love food and wine events? Culinary is one of my favorite things to write, videotape and cover and I can do video coverage, photo coverage and restaurant reviews.

Film coverage:

Red carpets, interview opportunities for all kinds of film except porn. I also don't cover horror films. Love to cover foreign films( love subtitles) Animation, Drama, Chick flicks and small and big motion pictures. I am more interested in covering red carpets and doing interviews and photo coverage.

NYC Tourism related coverage: Do you work for a museum, have an art gallery in NYC? Own a tour about NYC or a tourist attraction in NYC? Write to me as my audience are tourists from the US and from all over the World. I will cover any museum even the Museum of Sex.

Theater and Broadway: Please invite me to cover red carpets, press previews and theater related events as theater is my biggest passion.

I wont cover porn or violence. Thank you.

I just watched Julie and Julia and was moved by the film. Meryl Streep really deserved to win an Oscar for her brilliant performance. Anyway, it has almost been five years since I started this site. Writing and doing interviews for Corine's Corner has been a fantasy of mine and I hope you readers out there have been entertained by the site and get ready for more coverage than ever before.

Please comment on the sections. I want to know what you like so I can give you more!

Much love and have a great weekend. This weekend there will be coverage of the Macy's flower show, John Tartaglia and Sadie the winner of Westminster dog show. So come back!

HATE MAIL.

The Cardinal Group
Presents its new Off Broadway production of
Hate Mail
A Play by
Bill Corbett
and Kira Obolnesky

Starring
Dana Brooke
and DH Johnson


Directed by
Richard Pepenella

Tuesdays thru Fridays
March 16 – April 2nd at 8pm
45th Street Theatre, NYC


NEW YORK – The Cardinal Group is thrilled to announce its Off Broadway production of HATE MAIL, a play by BILL CORBETT and KIRA OBOLENSKY. The play will be presented at the 45th Street Theatre, located at 354 W. 45 St. in the heart of New York City’s Times Square. Directed by RICHARD PEPENELLA, Hate Mail stars DANA BROOKE and DH JOHNSON. Hate Mail is an epistolary play something like A.R. Gurney’s Love Letters, with two actors reading letters and other correspondence, but it's a little wilder and more hysterically funny. It tells the story of Preston, a spoiled rich kid who meets his match in Dahlia, an angst-filled artist. Their worlds collide when Preston sends a complaint letter that gets Dahlia fired from her job, and then there's no turning back. The play stays with their increasingly crazed correspondence as they move from hate to love, and then right back again. The show will run Tuesdays thru Fridays from March 16th to April 2nd. Tickets are $20 and are available at www.SmartTix.com.

BILL CORBETT's play The Stuff of Dreams recently toured the country, produced by the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis. His play The Big Slam has been produced at numerous theaters across the U.S., including Woolly Mammoth in Washington, D.C.; ACT in Seattle; and actor Jeff Daniels' Purple Rose Theater in Chelsea, Michigan. His other plays include Heckler; Ridiculous Dreaming (an adaptation of Heinrich Boll's The Clown, commissioned and produced by the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis); Hate Mail (co-written with Kira Obolensky), produced by Primary Stages in New York and numerous other theaters; Down the Pike, winner of the Actors Theater of Louisville National One-Act Contest; short plays Manifesto and Hunters, produced by the HBO Writers Project in Los Angeles; Cash Karma, first produced by the Organic Theater in Chicago; and Motorcade, produced at theaters in the U.S., Canada, and Japan. For four years Mr. Corbett was a writer for “Mystery Science Theater 3000” on the Sci-Fi Channel, and previously on Comedy Central. He was nominated for a Cable Ace Award in 1997 for Best Comedy Writing. A Core Member of The Playwrights' Center in Minneapolis, and a graduate of the Yale School of Drama, Mr. Corbett currently lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota.


KIRA OBOLENSKY’s new plays include Modern House (finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize) and Lune, pronounced loony, which was commissioned and produced by the B Street Theatre. Her adaptation of Alice in Wonderland, a co-production of the Guthrie Theatre and The Acting Company, opened at the Guthrie in January 2010. Other plays include Lobster Alice (Kesselring Prize, finalist for Susan Smith Blackburn, published in Best Plays by American Women 2000); The Adventures of Herculina, (Honorable Mention Kesselring Prize, Edith Oliver Award, produced in Chicago and in Minneapolis) and Pleasure Cruise, commissioned by the Guthrie Theatre and published in Best 10 Minute Plays of 2002-03. She is a recipient of a Bush Foundation fellowship, a Guggenheim Fellowship, two Jim Henson Foundation grants, a Jerome Fellowship and a McKnight Advancement Grant. A graduate of Williams College and the Juilliard School’s Playwriting Fellowship Program, Kira teaches at Goddard’s MFA Interdisciplinary Arts Program and at the University of Minnesota.

DANA BROOKE has appeared in theatre, film, and television. Dana last appeared with Cardinal Group in Leslie Caveny’s Love of a Pig. Her work in that play was honored by BackStage as one of the "Most Memorable Acting Performances of 2007" along with such notables as the cast members of August: Osage County and the Public Theater’s Romeo & Juliet. Dana also appeared in the play Venecia with Chita Rivera directed by Arthur Laurents. Though a Brooklyn resident, Dana often travels to the B Street Theatre in CA where she is a company member, and last starred in Arlene Hutton's "Nibroc Trilogy". Dana’s TV appearances include NBC's "Ed", Fox's "Canterbury's Law," and FX's "Damages". Dana's most recent project took her to India to star in the new work "Zeenat.”

Regionally he appeared in the Dorset Theatre Festival in Dulcy by George Kaufman and Marc Connelly directed by Carl Forsman, NC Shakespeare Festival's Richard III, Robinson Crusoe and Cricket on the Hearth at The B Street Theatre in Sacramento .

Richard is also a singer actor with numerous theatre credits and can be heard on the album “Stephin Merritt Showtunes” available on Nonesuch Records.

THE NEWEST BILLY JACOB CLEMENTE.

2009 TONY AWARD-WINNING
BEST MUSICAL WELCOMES
THE NEWEST ‘BILLY’

JACOB CLEMENTE


Universal Pictures Stage Productions, Working Title Films and Old Vic Productions in association with Weinstein Live Entertainment announced today that Jacob Clemente will join the cast of the 10-time Tony Award-winning Billy Elliot the Musical, in the role of ‘Billy.’

Clemente, who previously performed the role of ‘Tall Boy’ in Billy Elliot, will be the 9th boy to perform the role on Broadway. His first performance date will be announced soon.

JACOB CLEMENTE (Billy). Hi, my name is Jacob Clemente. At 12 years old, I am the youngest Billy to take the Broadway stage! I guess you could say I was destined to play Billy because both mining and dancing are in my blood. I am named after my great-grandfather, Jacob Mandel, who went “deep into the ground” of the coal mines of Pennsylvania. My other great-grandfather, Harry Jones, was a Welsh coal miner. My dad is in the mining business, too, but I have always wanted to dance! I started when I was 7 years old and have never stopped since, even while sitting at the dinner table! Over the years, I have been lucky enough to hold such dance titles as 2007 Junior Mr. Starquest and 2008 National NYCDA Mini Outstanding Dancer. Prior to playing Tall Boy/Posh Boy in this show, I had the privilege of being a Newsboy on the Broadway stage in Patti LuPone’s Gypsy. I knew then that I would want to do this for the rest of my life. I am very grateful to God, my dance and voice teachers, and prior directors for giving me the skills to get here. I especially want to thank my grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles, brother Tory and sisters Mandy and Lydia, who have all sacrificed so that I could reach my dream to “Be Billy”.

The 2009 Tony Award-winning Best Musical Billy Elliot the Musical currently stars Michael Dameski, Alex Ko, Liam Redhead and Dayton Tavares as Billy, Kate Hennig as Mrs. Wilkinson, Philip Whitchurch as Dad, Carole Shelley as Grandma, Will Chase as Tony and Trevor Braun and Jake Evan Schwencke as Michael.

Billy Elliot the Musical, the show that Time Magazine called “The Best Musical of the Decade,” is the joyous celebration of one boy’s journey to make his dreams come true. Set in a small town, the story follows Billy as he stumbles out of the boxing ring and into a ballet class, discovering a passion that takes him by surprise, and takes his whole family on an incredibly uplifting adventure.

Featuring music by Elton John, book and lyrics by Lee Hall, choreographed by Peter Darling and directed by Stephen Daldry, Billy Elliot the Musical opened at Broadway’s Imperial Theatre (240 W 45th St) Thursday, November 13th and was the winner of ten 2009 Tony Awards including Best Musical.

Tickets for Billy Elliot the Musical range from $41.50 to $136.50, and can be purchased at the Imperial Theatre Box Office (240 West 45th Street) or by calling Telecharge.com at 212-239-6200 or visiting www.Telecharge.com. Beginning January 4th, the playing schedule for Billy Elliot will be as follows: Tuesday at 7pm, Thursday – Saturday at 8pm, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday at 2pm and Sundays at 7:30pm.

Billy Elliot the Musical is produced by Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, Jon Finn and Sally Greene. Angela Morrison and David Furnish are Executive Producers. The production features scenic design by Ian MacNeil, costume design by Nicky Gillibrand, lighting design by Rick Fisher and sound design by Paul Arditti. Musical supervision and orchestrations are by Martin Koch.

Katie Webber comes directly from the original Broadway company of Memphis. Other credits include Broadway's Wicked, Jerry Mitchell's Peepshow (Goldie), and the film version of Rent.

In 1987 on the Sunset Strip, a small-town girl met a big-city dreamer – and in L.A.’s most legendary rock club, they fell in love to the greatest songs of the ‘80’s. It’s ROCK OF AGES, a hilarious, feel-good love story told through the hit songs of iconic rockers Journey, Styx, REO Speedwagon, Foreigner, Pat Benatar, Whitesnake, and many more.

New York, NY-March 3, 2010: The New York Innovative Theatre Foundation, the organization dedicated to celebrating Off-Off-Broadway, is pleased to announce that Ben Hodges (editor, Theater World) and Abby Marcus (managing director, Vampire Cowboys) are the new co-chairs of the Honorary Award committee, filling the vacancy left by Leonard Jacobs (Clyde Fitch Report).

A complete list of committee members is available on the IT Awards website at: www.nyitawards.com/aboutus/hac.asp.

“I am thrilled to be Co-Chairing the Honorary Awards Committee this season,” said Abby Marcus. “As a past honorary award recipient - my company, Vampire Cowboys, was awarded the Caffe Cino Fellowship in 2006 - I know firsthand how meaningful and special these awards are to the OOB community. I look forward to helping the New York Innovative Theatre Awards continue their good work in providing recognition and honor to companies and artists working in Off-Off-Broadway.”

More details at www.Limonadetouslesjours.com. Only a few tickets remain for this special event!

Set in Paris, Limonade Tous les Jours is a delightful & sparkling romantic comedy that tells the story of an American man who meets a French woman in a cafe. Both of them are recovering from recent ruined love relationships. They spend the day wandering through the city together, and speak of all the reasons why they shouldn't fall in love. And so of course, they do.


Limonade Tous les Jours’ cast includes Austin Pendleton (film, TV, stage,
director, playwright, actor), Eleanor Handley (Hudson Valley Shakespeare, Arts
Center of Coastal Carolina, New School for Drama) and Anton Briones
(Seussical with TheatreWorks).

The play is directed by Diana Basmajian (Kate Baldwin at Feinstein’s, Asst. Dir.
For MCC’s Fifty Words and Uncle Vanya – both for Mr. Pendleton, Broadway’s
24-Hour Plays). Limonade’s creative team includes: Musical Director - Cris
Frisco; Scenic Designer -Hilary Noxon; Costume Designer - Charles
Schoonmaker; Lighting Designer - Kathleen Dobbins; Choreographer – Erin
Porvaznika; Associate Producer - Moira Boag; Production/Company Manager –
Jennifer McKnight; and Photography – Maia Rosenfeld Photography. Wardrobe
is provided by Darling (1 Horatio Street, West Village).


“I do love this play of Charles Mee’s. I think it’s one of his very best, out of a vast and to me glorious body of work,” said Austin Pendleton “It’s completely knowing and sophisticated about its wonderfully tricky subject – the romance between an older American man and a fabulously complicated young French woman, in Paris – and yet, under Diana’s direction, it’s as free and innocent as an unmuddied French fountain. And playing it with Eleanor Handley, is a joyous experience.”

“We’re thrilled to present this play and our amazing cast at The Cell Theatre in Chelsea,” said director Diana Basmajian. “With universal themes of love and companionship, presented with humor and heart, we’re sure audiences will delight in seeing this show. Plus how exciting to have the first pairing of two NY theatre legends – Pendleton and Mee.”

Charles L. Mee is a popular and contemporary American playwright, historian and author known for his collage-like style of playwriting that utilizes radical reconstructions of found texts. Among other awards, Charles Mee is the recipient of a lifetime achievement award in drama from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, two OBIE Awards (Vienna: Lusthaus (1986) and Big Love (2002)), PEN/Laura Pels Foundation Award for Drama, and the Fisher Award given by the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Mee’s many works include Fire Island, Summertime, Belle Époque, Café le Monde, The Four Seasons, Memory Palace, and Night and Day.

BROADWAY BACKWARDS BREAK RECORDS!

BROADWAY BACKWARDS 5
RAISES RECORD-BREAKING $186,780
TO BENEFIT BC/EFA & THE CENTER

BROADWAY BACKWARDS 5, the one night only event held Monday at the Vivian Beaumont Theater at Lincoln Center, raised a record-breaking $186,780 to benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS (BC/EFA) and The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center (The Center).

This year’s total bested the amount raised in 2009 when $158,306 was raised by the event.

Never underestimate the power of a pronoun! BROADWAY BACKWARDS featured some of Broadway’s biggest names singing songs originally written for the opposite gender: women singing songs written for men and men singing song written for women. By keeping all of the lyrics intact, including the original pronouns, each song takes on an entirely new dimension, sometimes with hysterical results and sometimes with immensely touching results. BROADWAY BACKWARDS gave its audience a chance to see and hear some of the most treasured songs of the Great White Way in a whole new light.

BROADWAY BACKWARDS creator Robert Bartley served as director and choreographer of this special evening with musical direction by Wayne Barker. Florence Henderson served as host for this year’s event. Collectively, the performers participating in BROADWAY BACKWARDS 5 have earned four Tony Awards and 20 Tony Award nominations.

Some highlights from this year’s BROADWAY BACKWARDS 5 includes:

The opening number featured Robert Cuccioli, Ann Harada and an ensemble of 50 singing “Paris Original” from How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.
Florence Henderson led an ensemble of all female singers and dancers in a rousing rendition of “Luck Be A Lady” from Guys and Dolls.
A humorous, yet sensitive musical moment featured Len Cariou and Lee Roy Reams singing “I Remember It Well” from Gigi.
Dan Butler and Hunter Ryan Herdlicka performed the showstopper, “Come Up To My Place” from On the Town.
Douglas Sills was chased by a team of butlers as he sang a charming and humorous rendition of “I Could Have Danced All Night.”
Lea Salonga stopped the show with a powerful rendition of “Out There” from the animated Disney feature The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Raul Esparza stunned the audience with passionate “The Man That Got Away.”
Nick Adams, Adam Perry, and Timothy W. Bish ended the first act with a remarkably danced and sang “There’s Got To Be Something Better Than This” from Sweet Charity.
Mario Cantone and nine handsome dancers took the audience away to a fantasy world with “Where You Are” from Kiss of the Spider Woman
BROADWAY BACKWARDS 5 also included non-singing cameo appearances by Richard Kind, Valerie Harper, Eve Plumb and Marion Ross.

The full list of featured performers for BROADWAY BACKWARDS 5 includes Nick Adams (A Chorus Line), Martine Allard (The Tap Dance Kid), Gary Beach (The Producers), Tituss Burgess (Guys and Dolls, The Little Mermaid), Robert Cuccioli (Jekyll & Hyde), Dan Butler (TV’s Frasier, The Lisbon Traviata), Mario Cantone (Sex and the City, Laugh Whore), Len Cariou (Sweeney Todd), Harvey Evans (Follies, West Side Story), Raul Esparza (Speed-the-Plow, Company), Tony Goldwyn (Promises, Promises and the film Ghost), Ann Harada (Avenue Q, 9 to 5), Valerie Harper (Looped, “Rhoda”), Hunter Ryan Herdlicka (A Little Night Music), Richard Kind (The Producers, ABC’s Spin City), Aaron Lazar (A Little Night Music), Michele Lee (Two-time Tony Award nominee), Julia Murney (The Wild Party, Wicked), Becki Newton (ABC’s “Ugly Betty”, Girl Crazy at Encores!), Will Nunziata, Anthony Nunziata, Tonya Pinkins (Caroline, or Change; Jelly’s Last Jam), Lee Roy Reams (La Cage aux Folles, 42nd Street), Marion Ross (Evening Star, Happy Days), Lea Salonga (Miss Saigon), Douglas Sills (The Scarlet Pimpernel), Bruce Vilanch (Hairspray) and over 50 Broadway dancers and singers.

TOWN HALL BROADWAY BY THE YEAR PART 2 OF THREE.

BROADWAY BY THE YEAR 1927.

Last night was the opening of BROADWAY BY THE YEAR 1927. I first want to congratulate Scott Siegel and TOWN HALL for the wonderful series. Last nights show was one of the greatest in the series and I was very grateful to be able to cover this show. This is part 1 of three videos on this show so come back.

The entire cast in this show were wonderful but Quentin Earl Darrington gave the performance of a lifetime. Producers out there need to find a nice role for him. He was most recently in RAGTIME on Broadway and deserves a Tony nomination as well as a good lead role on Broadway soon. I was blown away by his gorgeous vocal chops! Corine Cohen.

MADAME AUDITIONS TO BE DAME EDNA'S UNDERSTUDY.

DAME EDNA'S UNDERSTUDY IS KNIGHTED!

DAME EDNA’S UNDERSTUDY IS KNIGHTED!


There was a lot of purple hair and glitter in the house when SCOTT MASON, a Dame Edna look-a-like from Delaware, was named the Dame’s Honorary Understudy Wednesday morning at Henry Miller’s Theatre.

Distinguished judges included: Michael Riedel of the NYPost, NY1’s Frank DiLella and The Village Voice’s Michael Musto. There were also special appearances by guest judges Michael Feinstein and Dame Edna’s manager Barry Humphries, who was on hand to provide feedback to the contestants on behalf of his client.

The contestants were judged on their make-up, costume, accent and “Dame-like demeanor.”

Speaking as Dame Edna’s long-lost sister, Mason won over the judges and the audience with his own sparkling rendition of Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats.”

Mason has proven to be devoted to the spirit of Dame Edna in the past. In 2008, he attended an impersonators’ convention and was physically assaulted by a fellow (jealous) Dame Edna look-a-like. He has truly risked life, limb and lipstick to make sure the Dame always makes an entrance! His official website can be found at www.hirethedame.com

WILL SWENSON AT SETH'S BROADWAY CHATTERBOX.

NYC HAS BECOME A TRAFFIC MALL. DO YOU LIKE IT OR HATE IT?

As you know I LOVE NY. All of NYC culture, food and everything that goes along with this City. What I don't love is the traffic which has doubled since Mayor Bloomberg created several mall areas closing traffic on Broadway. I polled several bus drivers, cab drivers and NYC residents about the Mall at bus stops and around the City last week and every single resident hated the malls. One woman who wanted to stay under the radar told me it has added 10 minutes to her commute every single day and another resident told me she can never take the M11 bus anymore as the traffic has become incredible adding 20 plus minutes to her commute.

On the other hand every single tourist I interviewed loved the mall and several homeless people also loved it.

Do you like the Mall? Write to me and let me know.

BROADWAY BACKWARDS.

BROADWAY BACKWARDS 5ANNOUNCES ADDITIONAL PERFORMERS

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 22 AT 8 PM
THE VIVIAN BEAUMONT THEATER AT LINCOLN CENTER

PRODUCED BY BROADWAY CARES/EQUITY FIGHTS AIDS
AND BENEFITING BC/EFA & THE CENTER

Broadway Cares/ Equity Fights AIDS (BC/EFA) and The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center (The Center) will present BROADWAY BACKWARDS 5, a one night only event, on Monday, February 22 at 8 PM at the Vivian Beaumont Theater at Lincoln Center (150 West 65th Street). BROADWAY BACKWARDS 5 is produced by BC/EFA and will benefit BC/EFA and The Center.

Additional performers for BROADWAY BACKWARDS 5 include Tituss Burgess (Guys and Dolls, The Little Mermaid), Mario Cantone (Sex and the City, Laugh Whore), Raul Esparza (Speed-the-Plow, Company), Becki Newton (ABC’s “Ugly Betty”, Girl Crazy at Encores!), Tony Award-winner Tonya Pinkins (Caroline, or Change; Jelly’s Last Jam), with more stars to be added in the coming weeks.

As previously announced, the list of performers also includes Tony-winner Gary Beach (The Producers), Tony-winner Len Cariou (Sweeney Todd), Tony Goldwyn (upcoming revival of Promises, Promises and the film Ghost), Aaron Lazar (A Little Night Music, The Light in the Piazza), Michele Lee (Two-time Tony Award nominee) and Julia Murney (The Wild Party, Wicked).

Florence Henderson will serve as host for this year’s BROADWAY BACKWARDS.

Never underestimate the power of a pronoun! BROADWAY BACKWARDS will feature some of Broadway’s biggest names singing songs originally written for the opposite gender: women singing songs written for men and men singing song written for women. By keeping all of the lyrics intact, including the original pronouns, each song takes on an entirely new dimension, sometimes with hysterical results and sometimes with immensely touching results. BROADWAY BACKWARDS will give its audience a chance to see and hear some of the most treasured songs of the Great White Way in a whole new light.

BROADWAY BACKWARDS creator Robert Bartley is returning as director and choreographer of this special evening with musical direction by Wayne Barker.
