On July 13, the Nassau County Museum of Art (NCMA) introduced its new exhibit “Other Worlds Than This.” The exhibit explores both the supernatural and sub conscious mind. With a primary focus on Surrealism, the exhibition attempts to navigate a world beyond our own. Surrealism rose to pop ularity in the 1920s and flourished for years to follow. As the genre grew in popularity, leading surreal ists – Magritte, Tanguy, Dalí, Ernst and Masson, to name a few–emerged. The movement rejected rationalism, as artists believed that it suppressed their imagination and limited their“Yourartwork.guides are some of the greatest artists in history whose sense of the supernatural is so vivid that they painted and sculpted the spirit realm as if it were real,” Charles Riley, director of Nassau County Museum of Art, says. “That’s how the Surrealists opened windows to their dreams.” As Sigmund Freud began to publish his work on the subconscious mind, surreal ists became inﬂuenced by his theories. One of the leading characteristics of the Surreal ism Movement is its juxtapo sition of imagery. Surrealist artists often depict discon nected, strange or opposite objects in the same piece. The exhibit explores many of the themes that emerged during the Surrealism Move ment. With the juxtaposition of images, the exhibit gazes into subconscious patterns as patrons examine the meaning of these disjointed associations.Althoughthese pieces may seem full of distorted and strange connections, all of the pieces displayed attempt to explore the spirit world and deities that transcend. In addition to hosting some of the leading surrealist art ists—including Magritte, Tan guy, Ernst and Dalí—the mu seum explores surreal worlds through ancient sculptures and tribal textiles. Although these objects may not ﬁt into the Surrealism Movement in the traditional sense, they, likewise, explore worlds full of spirits and extra-sensory p henomena.“Allthebig names are here: De Chirico, Dali, Magritte, Tanguy and Ernst,” Riley says about the diversity displayed in this exhibit. “But the super natural goes way back, three thousand years to ancient Olmec and Shang sculptures, Old Master prints and tribal textiles.”Themuseum hosted a reception where donors and friends of the museum had the opportunity to explore ethereal worlds further. At the reception Christian Winters, an English artist whose work is currently on display at the museum, at tended to host a seance. The seance was held at a table Winters—who had success fully completed seances at various other receptions— had designed for a previous exhibit. As guests gathered around the table, Winters at tempted to conjure the spirit of William Blake, a famous artist and poet. As the seance began, Winters sat blindfold ed with a pen in his hands as he attempted to summon Blake’s spirit. As the seance continued, Winters began to draw scenes that came to him. The exposition at the reception served as a con tinuation of the exhibit itself, guiding patrons through a world of spirits and phantoms, just as Surrealists reached into other seanceWinter’sworlds.performativeallowedvisitorsto see that process in real time. With the traditional surrealist artists and ancient sculptures and fabrics, the museum has once again hosted an exhibit that remains true to the movement it honors, while also serving its patrons with diversity. “No matter where, no mat ter when, the belief in spirit worlds remains as strong as ever, and this show brings it all vividly to life,” says Riley. The exhibit runs through No vember 2022. The museum is located at One Museum Dr., in Ros lyn. The arboretum, trails and sculpture garden are open daily from 9 a.m. to dusk. The museum is open Tuesdays through Sundays from 11 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. It is closed on Mondays. Visit www.ncma.org for details.

Iqbal has also participated in several exhibitions throughout Lahore, Pakistan where she obtained her Master’s Degree in Fine Art, with a focus on ﬁgure drawing. She has studied oil painting, watercolor, pastel, charcoal, acrylic and many other techniques. “I look forward to exhibiting more of my work soon,” she says. Over the past two decades, Iqbal has received many awards and recognition for her work, including “Best In Show” at a recent exhibit at Emerge Gallery in Saugerties in January 2022. She earned ﬁrst place in a rotational art exhibit and second place in a competition at My Studio Port Washington. She has received honorable mentions from the Flushing Art League and in an Eastern Long Island exhibit for her work. Iqbal has been selected for many solo exhibitions also. “Being able to share and exhibit my work has been the biggest honor,” Iqbal says.

Nayyar Iqbal is the featured Long Island artist on this edition of Boulevard. Her style is impressionistic, working primarily in oils and mixed media, with bold colors and strokes. She is a Pakistani-American. Iqbal’s passion for painting encompasses street scenes and traditional old city buildings which are also balanced with images of daily life.

Welcome to blvd. Now that we’re at the height of the summer, the blvd. staff is proud to bring an array of topics to our readers that touch on the best of style & fashion, design & decor, entertainment and so much more, all in one place. Our first stop is at the newly opened “Other Worlds” art exhibit at Nassau County Museum of Art, which we sent Fordham University student Hannah Devlin to explore. On the cover, we share with you to Pakistani-American painter Nayyar Iqbal, whose work encompasses bold colors and broad strokes and is on display at the museum’s current exhibit. Yearning to see what’s trending in home décor and interior design? Take a look at a sample of what’s hot from Safavieh’s interior designers and home furnishings. Elsewhere, local entrepreneurs Ian and Adam Siegel have taken their luxurious candle business, Trubee Hill, to the next level with a brick-and-mortar shop in Glen Cove. Feeling hungry? Allow us to introduce you to another newly arrived food player on the block at the wildly popular and ever-growing restaurant row on the west side of Roosevelt Field Mall. Special sections managing editor Christy Hinko visited Nomiya, a Japanese infusion restaurant that’s joined the ranks among the heavy hitters and is sure to garner a who’s who in dining and an exclusive reservation list once the secret gets out. In the meantime, given how hot it is outside, we’re showcasing a twist on cocktails. Flocktails to be exact. Find out what the buzz is around the creation of a new canned cocktail by three brothers from the Island. In Section II, managing editor Dave Gil de Rubio does a deep dive with TV chef Nick Stellino, who has spent the past three decades-plus making his hay on public television via a number of shows including Storyteller in the Kitchen. Fashionwise, we ask the question—men in skirts? Absolutely and done with class and style. Dressed to Kilt is now the largest and most prestigious Scottish fashion event in the world and has graced Long Island more than once. The show was co-founded by Sir Sean Connery 20 years ago. In recent shows Gerard Butler, Kiefer Sutherland, Kyle MacLachlan, Ivanka Trump, Mike Myers and Craig Ferguson have all walked the runway. We’ll also feed your mind with a historical read written by the talented and knowledgeable Trav S.D. about Great Neck’s own, the great Broadway lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II (1895-1960), who was best known for his collaborations with Richard Rodgers. Lastly, Christy Hinko has an exclusive chat with Tony-nominee Sharon D. Clarke about the Broadway return of Death of a Salesman. And if you’re still yearning for more, I urge you to check out my Long Island Social app. I hope you enjoy blvd. as much as we have enjoyed creating it.

“I feel proud to be able to share my work with everyone and being able to communicate the beauty I perceive through my paintings is a great blessing to me,” Iqbal says. She has had the opportunity to have her work exhibited in several galleries, throughout the New York metropolitan area, including Room By Room and Barnes Gallery in Garden City, at Sam’s Art Gallery in Flushing, Queens and at My Studio in Port Washington.

In addition to being an author, Pourmoradi has multiple outlets where she shares tips on female empowerment and leadership. Pourmoradi has built an incredible resource for young girls and women with an online blog, podcast and numerous workshops to spread knowledge and information on empowerment“WhenIwas a little girl, I grew up with a great deal of anxiety, and now I’m very transparent about being a woman living with anxiety,” says Pourmoradi. “But when I was a little girl, I didn’t know that I had a plethora of inner tools that already lived inside of me. We didn’t have an open dialogue about anx iety and mental health, it just wasn’t a thing, and there was a stigma associated with it.” “As I discovered this world of psychology and human potential, I started to really hone in on my own inner tools and learn how to calm myself down, how to take a deep breath and how to claim my power back,” says Pourmoradi.Aroundeight years ago, Pourmoradi began hosting empowerment workshops at her home in Great Neck. More and more parents began requesting speciﬁc topics to be covered, and the workshops grew. “Our goal is empowering girls, and just one person isn’t going to make as large an impact as we want to make,” Pourmoradi says. In 2015, she expanded the program to function more like a school, wherein other women could teach the workshops and make an impact while making a proﬁt to create a career. Now, more than 180 differ ent facilitators are running the curriculum in different parts of the world.

Great Neck author and entrepreneur Melody Pourmoradi published her second book, Empowered Women Empower Girls. The book is a practical guide to inspire young women to lead by example and become the best version of themselves.

Pourmoradi’s most recent book, Empowered Wom en Empower Girls , was published at the end of 2021 and was inspired by the number one question people ask Pourmoradi: How do I empower my daughters and young girls in my life? “The fact of the matter is if we really want to empow er the next generation of girls, we need to empower ourselves, which is the real work,” explained Pourmora di. “It starts with mothers and teachers or mentors; if we are not embodying that true empowerment, then it’s really hard to pass it along.” The book is a downto-earth guide to inspire women to lead by example. Pourmoradi shares how to become the highest version of yourself and how to give that gift of confidence to the next“Wegeneration.cannotskip that step of doing the inner work and healing,” says Pourmoradi. “Then we take it outward and live as an example of what it is to be an empow eredYoungwoman.”girlslook up to the women in their lives, wheth er it is a family member, coach or teacher. This book details ways women how to fix that so the young girls around them have a positive role model to learn from. “Parts of empowerment is even not gossiping. We go around disempowering ourselves in so many ways whether it is talking bad about ourselves or of some body else or having really low vibe conversations that aren’t adding any value to the planet,” explained Pour moradi. “So the very first part of my book is how do we disempower ourselves without even knowing it and once we know that and can transform that then we can really step into the journey of actually chapterourselves.”empoweringAttheendofeveryin

GIRLIFE is Pourmoradi’s program where women can teach a curriculum to host girls’ empowerment work shops in their own communi ties. The workshops include open dialogue, thought-pro voking crafts, and nutrition projects for girls to honor and embrace individuality.

“If there is any message that GIRLIFE has, it’s that every young girl is powerful beyond measure and simply having that knowledge is a game changer,” says Pour moradi.Pourmoradi’s dedication to empowering the next generation led her to write two books that guide girls and women to lead positive and productive lives. Her ﬁrst book, XOXO, From A Girl Who Gets It , was published in 2018. Although the book is categorized as a children’s book, Pourmoradi likes to say that the book is for girls and women from ages ﬁve to 105 because it shares and acknowledges the powers that already exist within women of all ages.

Hammerstein was the namesake of his paternal grandfather, Oscar Hammerstein I, impresario of both opera and vaudeville, and the son of Willy Hammerstein, genius booker of Hammerstein’s Victoria, New York’s top vaudeville theatre for a time. He attended Columbia and studied to be a lawyer but the lure of the family business was too great. Though he had promised his father he would steer clear of show biz, following Willy’s demise in 1914, he gradually worked his way in. Vaudeville vets starred in many of his early productions, many of them written in collaboration with Otto Harbach. Frank Tinney was in Tickle Me (1920) and Daffy Dill (1922). Queen O’ Hearts (1922) featured Nora Bayes and Harry Richman. Gypsy Jim, a straight play penned by Hammerstein in 1924, starred Leo Carillo. The operetta Rose-Marie (1924-26) is probably the earliest of his shows to be well-remembered, on account of its three movie versions and the many covers of the campy “Indian Love Call”. The 1936 screen version with Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald is undoubtedly the best known, although there was also one in 1954 with Howard Keel, Ann Blyth, Fernando Llamas, Bert Lahr and Marjorie Main. A 1928 silent version naturally had no songs but starred up-and-comer Joan1925sCrawford.Sunnywas one of a series of hit starring vehicles for Marilyn Miller and featured Jack Donahue and Pert Kelton, with music by Jerome Kern. It was made into a Hollywood film, also starring Miller, in Show1930. Boat (1927), based on the Edna Ferber novel is, in the view of many, the greatest of all Hammerstein shows and one of America’s favorite musicals. Florenz Ziegfeld produced the original production, with music by Jerome Kern, book by Hammerstein, and lyrics by Hammerstein and P.G. Wodehouse. The cast included Charles Winninger, Edna May Oliver, Tess Gardella (Aunt Jemima), Puck and White, Helen Morgan, and Jules Bledsoe. Paul Robeson for whom the part of Joe was written, appeared in later productions. This is a stellar line-up of talent, and they ended up producing a landmark, pivotal Broadway show, one of the first of the so-called integrated musicals (meaning the songs are integrated into the show, i.e., they help tell the story. Although this has to have been one of the first racially integrated shows, too). The (still) popular songs from the show include “Ol’ Man River”, “Can’t Help Lovin’ Dat Man”, “Make Believe”, and Helen Morgan’s show stopper as Julie,There“Bill”.are three major film versions of the novel, the latter two based primarily on the musical. The 1929 version is based strictly on the book and is essentially a silent, with non-sync sound, music, a little audible dialogue, and just a couple of numbers from the show. It features Laura La Plante as Magnolia, Alma Rubens as Julie, Otis Harlan as Cap’n Andy, Neely Edwards as Schultzie and Stepin Fetchit as Joe. The 1936 version (the best all ’round) was directed by James Whale and has much of the Broadway cast, with the notable addition of Irene Dunne and Allan Jones. The 1951 updated, color version has far less charm, although we do have the bonus of Joe E.

1930, an Arthur Hammerstein produced show with some material by Oscar, was a ﬂop but is notable for being the last Broadway show starring W.C. Fields. After this, there was also The Gang’s All Here with Ted Healy, Free for All with Jack Haley, and East Wind with Joe Penner (all in 1931). And he contributed some material to Olsen and Johnson’s Hellzapoppin (1938).Then, around the time he began collaborating with Rodgers, one last major show without him: Taking a cue from Mike Todd’s 1939 Hot Mikado, Billy Rose produced Carmen Jones (1943) putting Bizet’s original Carmen score to a new contemporary libretto by Hammerstein, and an all-black cast, with Muriel Smith and Muriel Rahn switching off in the title role. As an all-black American opera with a tragic plot, it also bears a certain relationship to Porgy and Bess. One likes to think that the original Oscar Hammerstein, the songwriter’s grandfather who had a penchant for democratizing access to opera, would have been proud.

Otto Preminger adopted this show into a 1954 ﬁlm starring Dorothy Dandridge and Harry Belafonte, helping to keep it in public circulation.Thelocal angle to this story; Hammerstein was a longtime resident of Great Neck. He later purchased a farmhouse and estate in Buck’s County, which is where he died of stomach cancer in 1960.

Outdoor carpets will also be among the living trends in 2023. Nobody can avoid rope, a new trending material in 2023. Outdoor and garden furniture is designed with colored ropes, usually made of plastic and are therefore particularly weatherproof. Organic shapes are trending as this year furniture and accessories are no longer square and edged, but round, oval or curved.

The 2023 interior design trends for the home represent a return to simplicity and communion with natural elements: from the use of sustainable materials to the choice of colors that are reminiscent of nature. All reﬂect the idea of sustainability, comfort and design: The home becomes the quintessential place dedicated to coexistence and being together with a return to essentiality and nature.

NOMIYA TOJAPANESEBRINGSFLAIRTHEISLAND

After having successfully opened Keki Modern Cakes—the bakery that single-handedly brought the viral bouncy cheesecake trend stateside—founders Ajay Chawla, Lawrence Wai and Moul Kim sought to introduce Nassau County to sophisticated East Asian fare with a unique, local spin. A tenured sushi chef who is also trained in the art of robata, Chef James Choi draws from his Korean heritage and experiences in Japanese kitchens.

Mangia brothers launch

Nearly branded with the name Dirty Birdie, the Mangia brothers trio are experiencing soaring success with their new canned cocktail, Flocktails, a refreshing blend of lemonade, cranberry juice and vodka. During the trademark process, the brothers decided against “Dirty Birdie” as their product name because of a similarly named beer.

The proof is in the wildly expanding local market. “We have had great response from South Shore stores especially,” Mangia said. Much of the brand’s success has been seen in Suffolk stores.Locally, you can find Flocktails at Garden City Wines & Spirits (166 7th St., Garden City), Total Wine (1230 Old Country Rd., Westbury) and at Westbury Liquors (1250 Old Country Rd., Westbury).

The alcohol content of most canned cocktails ranges from four to nine percent. Flocktails measures in right in the midrange with seven percent. The sugar content is low and the beverage is gluten-free. “The lemonade with cranberry combination surprises people in a good way,” Mangia said. “The full ﬂavor and low carbonation intrigues people.”Thebrand launched last August.“This wasn’t exactly good for us because the timeframe for launching a new beverage product for Long Island is May to August,” Mangia said. “We started late and it took more time for stores to get involved, but it is happening for us now.”

“T he flamingo represented our brand, in the vibe we were looking for,” Nick Mangia, co-founder of Flocktails said. “It is summer, it is fun, it is silly and has good vibes.”Nick is one-third of Flocktails along with his brothers, Anthony and Michael. “We already had the design of the can including the bird,” Mangia said. “We sat down and were spitting out names that included a bird.

The brothers were aiming for the 21- to 30-year-olds, but what they got were the 21- to 60-yearolds.“We’ll take it,” Mangia said. “Recent feedback has been surprisingly good; the can itself is appealing, too, with the crazy flamingo.”

The term Renaissance man is one that oftentimes gets overused quite haphazardly. But when that turn of phrase gets applied to Nick Stellino, it’s wholly appropriate. As the son of a mother from Northern Italy and a Sicilian father, the self-described “mixed breed” not only has the pedigree to carry that designation, but more importantly, the same passion, drive, curiosity and intelligence that earned his fellow countryman Leonardo DaVinci that description so many centuries ago.

Clams with Tomatoes, Wine and Garlic

Living The Dream Three-plus decades and 12 cookbooks later, Stellino is at a point in his life where he gets to pursue his whims, one of which is sharing his love and passion for“YouSicily.can pretty much say I’m retired,” Stellino says. “I reached a point in my life that the ﬁrst thing I do when I get up in the morning is decide what I’m going to cook today and what is the new thing that I’m going to learn, even if I fail. The only project I’m interested in now is a history of Sicily and the importance of Sicily as an element. It’s so incredibly spread throughout America in the little part of Italian-Americanism that we see in action every day. But I do want to show Sicily for the beauty that it is. I don’t want to do one of these shows where you see me on the forefront of a beautiful view behind me when I go, ‘This is the most beautiful thing you can see. Let me take you down there.’ Before I do a show like that, I’m going to shoot myself in the head.”Ifthere is anything Stellino is proudest of it is how he’s transferred his love of food, culture and storytelling to a devoted public television fan base at a time when culinary shows on the Food Network and HGTV have come to the fore in the past couple of decades.

1/4 teaspoon red pepper ﬂakes 4 garlic cloves, thickly sliced 1/4 cup chopped carrots 1/4 cup chopped celery 1/4 cup chopped onions 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

FROM THE KITCHEN OF NICK STELLINO

1 pound ground veal 1/2 cup white wine. 2 cups chicken stock 2 tablespoons softened butter 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese 1 tablespoon freshly ground pepper

2 pounds of Brussels sprouts trimmed and cut in half 4 strips of bacon cut into ½-inch pieces

“My father was invited by one of his best customers to an event he was hosting,” Stellino explains. “My father asked if he could bring the food because he had this great connection to the butcher. He was a salesman all the time—I remember he had this blue, double-breasted suit with a white shirt and a great knitted tie that he had bought in Rome —I was in love with the whole thing. [My father] started laying out the meat. The barbecue was an old-school one made out of cast iron with the charcoal and the wood used to get the ﬁre started. And even though we were up there in the mountains where the temperature was in the seventies, it was still warm. Next thing you know, he starts peeling off the jacket, the vest, the cigarette is still there. He’s got an undershirt on—I think you guys call it a wife beater. I’m looking at him and looking around and see everyone in the ﬁnest custom suits—beautiful ladies in jewels with long cigarettes talking—but everyone was looking at my dad. The man looked like [crap] to say the very least. He was schvitzing and I’m thinking, ‘I want to be him.’”

Genes Make The Man Family is at the epicenter of what makes Stellino tick, dating back to the adoration he had for his mother (“...she was not only beautiful, but the most delicate woman I’ve ever seen in my life.”) and his art salesman father, who helped introduce him to his lifelong love of food and cooking while commandeering the grill at a client’s summertime soiree that Stellino and his family were attending (“I wanted to be the guy people look at because he’s the only one who has the magic to make the food taste like that.”) Stellino’s cooking origin story is worth recounting where we ﬁnd our then 12-year-old hero more interested in his host’s teenage daughter before his pater familias won over the cooking progeny’s attention.

Betting On Himself Raised on constantly hearing about “...a land on the other side of the sea called America, where anything is possible,” the fiercely independent Stellino made his way across the pond, where he landed a job as an insurance company market research analyst. When he quickly realized that he had a better understanding of the financial assets he was being hawked by the sales reps who were pitching him, Stellino informed his wife Nanci that he was going to offer his services to the head manager at the local Merrill Lynch office. He sailed through the interviews, trained at the World Trade Center and spent the next eight years making his nut, despite admitting to being “...the worst stockbroker you’d ever seen.” What Stellino did have was the passion that drove him, particularly when it came to an idea he’d fallen in love with. It’s a character trait that carried him into the kitchen, when he decided to quit this lucrative chapter of his life after a client lost 30 percent of his net asset value after Stellino was instructed by higher-ups in what he later realized was a rigged transaction. And once again, guidance came from family in the form of an exchange he had with an uncle who was on his deathbed back in Italy. “My uncle was in so much pain and so full of morphine, that he wasn’t making any sense and had turned into a former ghost of the man he was,” Stellino shares. “At one point, the nurse asks us to leave because we’re tiring him out. Everybody wanted go hug and kiss him and were crying—me too. And then he grabs my hand as I’m leaving, looks at me straight in the eyes and says to me in Italian, ‘Don’t let go of your dreams. Don’t do things that keep you prisoner.’ How did he know that I was so unhappy? I never spoke about it. I hardly spoke about it to my wife or my mom or dad. What did he see and how did he awaken like that? It kind of impacted me in the most—it was devastating in a certain way.” Rolling The Dice Stellino returned to the States, evened up his ledger and walked away from a finance job in a year where he made the most money in his career up to that point. It was at this juncture the epiphany came that he wanted to open a restaurant with money he’d saved, something he’d have to explain to his wife, who was unaware of his radical career pivot.“This was the kind of decision we always made together,” he explains. “I knew I was in for some problems. I popped in and says that I had a great idea. Because I loved cooking and we were cooking all the time, I said that I was going out to buy a restaurant and was going to go into the restaurant business. She looked at me—and by the way she wasn’t upset. I’m thinking, ‘Man, this broad is awesome.’ She says that was great but maybe wouldn’t it be better to get a job at the restaurant first? Just to see how things work out and I could learn how to run the business.”

One lb. of fresh strawberries trimmed and ﬁnely diced into ¼ inch dice. ¼ cup of sugar 3 tablespoons of marsala wine

NICK STELLINO from page 1C

“When it comes to my teaching people about cooking, it’s about me teaching them about something I love and I want them to learn to love it the way that I love it,” Stellino says. “You not only have to take baby steps, but you also have to be skillful in showing people how you do it, how people can do it themselves and look how easy it is. If you look at any of my cooking shows from the beginning to the end—even my most complicated recipes, including demi-glace and reduction of sauces—by the time you watch it, you’ll feel like you can do that. That is my greatest skill, otherwise, I can tell you there are tons of people who can cook better than me, are better-looking than I am and are far more successful than I am. But that one skill that I just described and the way I described it where you’re not afraid and you come in and feel like an old friend is teaching you. That’s my skill and I don’t need to put it up because what you see is pretty much what you get.”

Stir while cooking for 3 minutes, breaking up the veal into small pieces. Stir in the wine and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the chicken stock. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes. While the sauce is simmering, cook the pasta in the boiling water per package directions.Remove the bay leaf from the sauce. Drain the cooked pasta and add to the simmering sauce. Stir and cook 2 minutes. Turn off the heat, add the butter and cheese, and stir until completely incorporated. Serve in a rimmed pasta bowl topped with freshly ground pepper.

And while Stellino didn’t have the background to run a kitchen, he took a job as a dishwasher and wound up apprenticing to become a head chef and going so far as to return to Italy and work without pay in a number of restaurants in his homeland. And while he eventually wound up as the head chef at Santa Monica restaurant Drago and shooting a number of pasta sauce commercials, that same quest for a new and interesting challenge led to his expressing to wife Nanci a desire to have his own television show. “I looked at my wife and said the money we put aside for a restaurant should instead go towards me going into television,” he recalls. “I wanted my own TV show. From there, it took me two years and 2,365 phone calls—2,354 no’s and one yes.”

Khris Davis (Heart of a Lion, Sweat, Atlanta, Judas and the Black Messiah) also boards as the Lomans’ son Biff. “When I arrived back in New York, I thought, ‘I am here; I am here in New York where the play is set and I am here to soak up all of that wealth of history and culture that the show brings,” says Clarke. “I am not saying that it is not authentic in London, but I am in the states with an American cast, they inform me in different ways because they are American and genuine; it feeds me. ” Also joining the production are Blake DeLong as Howard/ Stanley, Lynn Hawley as The Woman/Jenny, Grace Porter as Letta/Jazz Singer, Kevin Ramessar as Musician, Stephen Stocking as Bernard, Chelsea Lee Williams as Miss Forsythe, and The Wire’s Delaney Williams as Charley, Willy’s neighbor and onlyOpeningfriend. night is set for Sunday, Oct. 9, at the Hudson Theatre (141 West 44th Street), and the show will run for a strictly limited 17-week engagement starting Monday, Sept. 19.

Broadway is set to deliver a performance to America next season that is sure to get noticed. Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman opens on Oct. 9 at the Hudson Theatre and is poised to change the way you think about a story you think you know.

BY CHRISTY HINKO Wendell Pierce (Serious Money, The Piano Lesson, The Wire, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan) and Sharon D. Clarke (Caroline, Or Change) are set to reprise their acclaimed performances as Willy and Linda Loman, for which Clarke received the Olivier Award for Best Actress and Pierce was nominated for Best Actor while on Death of a Salesman on the Young Vic / West End production in London. Blvd. had a chance to speak with Clarke about this amazing opportunity to bring such a staple in American storytelling back to audiences, and to reprise her award-winning role as “ILinda.feel very blessed to have a chance to find out more about these characters,” says Clarke. “I cannot believe that I have just finished Caroline, Or Change on Broadway and am coming back to do what is considered America’s Hamlet; it is a classic and I am doing it with Wendell.” She is overjoyed. “For Wendell to come to London and tell the story of Death of a Salesman and then to be able to bring it back to his home [country] and have it seen by America is just phenomenal,” saysTheClarke.anticipation is already growing for what may be dubbed a transforming production.“New York will be seeing what it knows as this classic play about the American Dream, but seen now through African-American eyes; you can see the glass ceiling; you can see why that dream, at that point, in that time is actually impossible; it is an impossible dream,” says Clarke. “It is what sends Willy down that wormhole of madness.” This production of Death of a Saleman tells the exact same story, but with a Black cast; the Lomans are an African-American family in a predominantly white capitalist world. “When we did the show in London, a lot of people asked, ‘Did you change the script? You must have changed the script,’ and we would say, ‘We have not changed anything,’” says Clarke. “For example, when Willy goes into Howard’s office, you now see an older Black man begging a young white man to keep his job. When the package is dropped on the floor, he is told not to pick it up because they have office boys to do that. When Howard drops his matches and Willy picks them up, he does all of the things that he tells his son not to do. When you see a black man doing that with a white man a younger white man and belittling himself, groveling, it is so visceral that you cannot escape what the script is telling you.” Clarke said the difference in the cast heightens, enriches and deepens the script in a way that makes you see Death of a Salesman in a completely different way. Is there pressure to bring such a well-known play to Broadway? “I am bringing this story to people in a way that they have never seen it,” says Clarke. “I am part of history; there is no greater feeling than to be making history in a way that brings this story to Americans that they have never seen before.”

Producers Cindy Tolan, Marianne Elliott and Chris Harper (Elliott & Harper Productions) and Kwame Kwei-Armah have teamed up to bring the critically hailed Young Vic/West End production of the Miller masterpiece to “WhenBroadway.thisproduction played at the Young Vic in 2019, we heard from so many young people seeing it for the ﬁrst time, who said they felt like the play was written speciﬁcally for them and for this era,” says Tolan. “We’re excited to bring that feeling to New York audiences, and we hope that the show’s timeless relevance resonates in the same way.”
