The sunset synchs with Manhattan’s eastwest numbered streets, creating beautiful photo opportunities. This month, the full sun will be visible on the grid on July 11 at 8:20pm, and the half sun the next night at 8:20pm. Prime locations to view the phenomenon are wide cross streets like 14th, 34th, 42nd, 57th, and 79th.

Cover Story Jersey Boys on Broadway—Oh, What a Night! By Meryl Pearlstein “Like that bunny on TV with the battery,” says Frankie Valli in Jersey Boys, “I just keep going and going and going.” That analogy doesn’t just describe Frankie, though; it’s the mantra of Jersey Boys, the Tony-winning musical that brings audiences to their feet at every performance. And whether you’re from New Jersey or New Delhi, there’s no way you can resist the beat—or stay seated—during the curtain call when the cast launches into “Oh, What a Night.”

Joan Marcus

the same,” laughs Blake. “Tommy is Tommy. He’s doesn’t apologize for who he is, but, in his mind it’s all okay because he’s the reason the Four Seasons exists. It’s the ensemble that changes dynamically based on who’s playing Frankie. Dominic is the real Jersey deal, from Essex County; Mauricio is Cuban with a Latin orientation. They’re both such skillful performers, and they each have their own style. There’s something special about every show.” Each night, Blake joins a talented ensemble— including Michael Lomenda who plays Nick Massi—that creates the sound that captured the imagination of radio and TV audiences in the early ‘60s and stayed at the top of the charts well into the next decade. Music, dance, and Richard H. Blake (far right) harmonizes with his fellow Jersey Boys. video all add to the Richard H. Blake plays the polarvibe, together with the terrific lyrics writizing force in the Four Seasons, Tommy ten by original group member Bob GauDeVito, who can claim responsibility dio (played by Quinn VanAntwerp) and for bringing the group together, as well producer Bob Crewe (Peter Gregus). as for its ultimate dissolution. And it’s “Since the cast works off of each Tommy whose bad habits and reckother’s energy every night, the show is less behavior both cement the quartet organic,” says Blake. “We thrive on it. It through its early years and lead to Valli’s keeps us fresh and energized. I call this rise as a solo artist. As for the show itself, in the past months Jersey Boys has broken with tradition by splitting the Valli role between two performers: Mauricio Pérez and Dominic Scaglione Jr., each channeling Valli to make the role his own. So what can theatergoers expect? “Well, I’m always going to be

the ‘butterfly effect’ of theatre. One little nuance can engender another reaction and so on.” Unlike most jukebox musicals, Jersey Boys comes with a book (by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice) based on real life events, allowing the written-fromthe-heart songs to evolve in real (past) time. The rags-to-riches story of these guys from Jersey tops out with family, girlfriends, and hits but collapses back into rags, attaining a new equilibrium where personal tragedies and foibles become somewhat bearable. Blake believes the show’s appeal is basically a no-brainer. “The songs are familiar, or, if they’re not, they will be by the end. Everyone knows at least one or two songs. And the story is a well-written

one,” he says. “If you lived through those times, you get a visceral reaction; if you didn’t, you’ll relate to the timeless music and dance moves.” And with a solid background in high-profile Broadway musicals, Blake knows it’s not just how much the actors affect the audience, it’s how the audience returns the favor. “Energy feeds energy. There’s new life every day, and Tommy DeVito is a great role for me. I love the complexity of his journey and the journey of the group. We may like or dislike each other, but we’ll always have each other’s back. We’re the Jersey Boys and that’s how it’s done in Jersey.” And for the past 10 years, on Broadway.

Jersey Boys is playing at the August Wilson Theatre, 245 W. 52nd St. For tickets call 877-250-2929 or visit jerseyboysbroadway.com.

GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM

László Moholy-Nagy, A 19 (1927)

Housed in an iconic Frank Lloyd Wright spiraling building, The Guggenheim Museum contains one of the world’s finest collections of modern and contemporary art, including works by Picasso, Matisse, and Modigliani. The museum’s newest exhibition is the first comprehensive retrospective in nearly 50 years of the work of pioneering artist and educator László Moholy-Nagy (1895–1946). Moholy-Nagy: Future Present examines the full career of the utopian modernist who believed in the power of art and technology as a vehicle for social transformation and the betterment of humanity. The presentation brings together more than 300 works, some of which have never before been shown publicly in this country. 1071 Fifth Ave. (89th St.), 212-423-3500, guggenheim.org

See for miles and miles from the incomparable heights of One World Observatory. There’s only one tallest. Only one strongest. And only one destination selected as the Best New Attraction in the World. These superlatives belong to One World Trade Center, and its pinnacle, the one World observatory, rising over 100 stories in the sky. With an attraction this popular, OWO’s alltimed-entry system is a major advantage. Computerized ticketing ensures wait times are always kept manageable. You can buy your ticket on the spot, or in advance online. You’ll see some fast facts as you make your way to the elevators, confirming the superlatives: at 1,776 feet, One World Trade is the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere; with over 45 tons of steel and a unique concrete core, it’s the strongest building in the world. After a minute’s ride and a short video, you’ll hit the Discovery Level (the main observatory), with 360° sights of the city and beyond. It’s all here, from the rivers to the harbor, from the Statue of Liberty to the Empire State Building. Jersey and Queens recede in distant horizons. Helicopters zip by like hummingbirds, well below the floor-to-ceiling windows. The skyscrapers of Lower Manhattan—some of which once claimed title to the tallest building in the world—cluster below your feet like toys. Observatory hours daily are 9am-8pm, with the last ticket sale at 7:15pm. Admission is $32 for adults, $30 for seniors above age 65, and $26 for children between ages 6 and 12. Kids 5 and under get in free. Admission for 9/11 family members, rescue, and recovery workers is free, and active and retired members of the US military get special discounts. 285 Fulton St. (entrance on the corner Vesey and West Sts.), 844-696-1776, OneWorldObservatory.com

Celebrity Profile: Brian Stokes Mitchell

By GRIFFIN MILLER

In 1988 Brian Stokes Mitchell made his Broadway debut in a short-lived musical called Mail at the Music Box Theatre. “Back then I was one of the youngest people in the cast, and now, well...” he lets his voice trail off in a knowing chuckle, positing that he’s come full circle to become a senior cast member at the Music Box—this time in one of the hottest shows in town: Shuffle Along, or The Making of the Musical Sensation of 1921 and All That Followed.

Julieta Cervantes/Philip Rinaldi Publicity via AP

George C. Wolfe who, according to Mitchell, has spent years unearthing the history behind the 1921 mounting of Shuffle Along. CG: How much did you—or anyone in the cast—know about the original Shuffle Along before working on the show? BSM: I don’t think anyone was that aware except George. It wasn’t much more than a footnote in many theatre books, so you really had to search through disparate sources to find anything. CG: In the show, you and Billy are a comedy team, but offstage you are the voice of reason while he is more mercurial. Was this difficult to pull off? BSM: It’s pretty much the same as collaborating with any actor in a comedy scene—you listen to the other person and riff off their timing. And Billy is so much fun to work with.

Part Chinese, Part Vietnamese, All Delicious: An’nam

BY Ethan Wolff

There’s a reason that Vietnamese and Japanese cuisine are so popular with New Yorkers. Both traditions feature a harmony of flavors and classic preparations that have stood the test of time. To find two great cuisines under one roof, head to An’nam, a new oasis in the heart of the Theatre District and Times Square.

The neighborhood doesn’t boast too many spots that are friendly, low-key, affordable, and possessing of ample seating. An’nam is all four and stylish, too, as you can tell from the vibrant array of tiles that greets you on the street. The thoughtful design continues inside, with flattering lighting and attractive paneled walls done in rectangular blocks of warm color. Homey touches balance things out, like the warm wood of the tables, and the captain’s wheel in back that identifies the sushi bar. That bar holds a few seats with front row looks at fresh sushi and sashimi. There’s also a creative selection of “fancy

rolls,” like the Spider Roll, with tempurafried soft shell crab, and the Dynamite Roll, with crunchy spicy salmon topped with crab. From the kitchen, favorites like gyoza, shumai, and crispy calamari with sweet mango sauce get things going, followed by teriyakis, udon noodles, and Japan’s answer to KFC: the house’s addictive chicken katsu. An’nam is known for its lunch specials, and bento boxes are a great way to go, served with salad, miso soup, California rolls, rice, and options like salmon or beef teriyaki and grilled Chilean sea bass. There are great lunch specials on the Vietnamese side as well, some three dozen all told. If you like a little kick, opt for the basil sauce, which adds heat to fresh veggies and a choice of beef, chicken, shrimp, or duck. The kitchen’s versatility shows here, too, with influences that range from China (broad chow fun noodles) to Thailand (pad Thai) to Singapore (rice vermicelli with brightly seasoned yellow curry). Don’t miss out on spring roll appetizers, which put a hearty, meaty filling into crisp golden wrappers. Soups are great, too, including the classic oxtail and noodle pho. The deals don’t stop after lunch: come by at happy hour for $4 beer, $6 wine, $8 sangrias, and $8 well drinks from the petite full bar up front. Stop in most any time at An’nam: the restaurant is open 11:30am to 11:30pm seven days a week.

A harmony of flavors...
