Cover Story Carrie St. Louis Is Having a Wicked Good Time

By Meryl Pearlstein The story that inspired all things Wicked strikes a sentimental chord with audiences, regardless of age. Who doesn’t have a soft spot for Dorothy, Toto, and her traveling trio of Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion? But forget what you’ve read in L. Frank Baum’s classic book, or observed in countless viewings of the 1939 film version—Broadway’s emerald green hit Wicked is not The Wizard of Oz.

Joan Marcus

melted to death, “...the direct result of a bucket of water thrown by a female child,” we find ourselves in the ultimate prequel to our beloved Wizard of Oz. Wicked steps back in time to explain how Elphaba—studious, greenskinned, and rebellious —became the Wicked Witch, and spoiled blonde Galinda (before she tweaked her name), transformed into Glinda the Good.

Carrie St. Louis plays Glinda, the soprano half of a complicated gal-pal relationship with her green roomie (Jennifer DiNoia, who recently graduated to the Broadway cast after playing Elphaba in seven different companies both here and abroad). A natural comedian and classically trained opera singer, St. Louis reveals Glinda to be less assured than her exterior belies.

Co-starring are Tony winner Judy Kaye as Madame Morrible and Peter Scolari (Girls, Bosom Buddies, Newhart) as the Wizard.

Both of these Broadway veterans evince a volatile mix of humble and audacious. Embracing Carrie St. Louis shines as Glinda the Good in Broadway’s Wicked. characters that are complicated, Poised to celebrate its 13th anniversary they glide between good and wicked on Broadway this October 30th, Wicked throughout the show. begins with the supposition that good Adding to the drama of the personal ultimately conquers evil. The ensuing transformations are fabulous special plotline swerves to track a series of twisted effects, striking staging by superstar events—tricky family situations, unlikely director Joe Mantello, Stephen Schwartz’s relationships, disturbing Oz-ian politics— mesmerizing score, and Winnie until lines are blurred about what (and Holzman’s first-rate book. who) is really wicked.

Gregory Maguire wrote Wicked the From the moment the show begins, novel, basing it on Baum’s The Wonderful it’s clear we aren’t on the perky side of any Technicolor rainbow. Following the show’s opening moments when good witch Glinda floats to Earth and confirms the Wicked Witch of the West has been

“Everyone can find meaning in this show...”

Wizard of Oz. His intention was to add to the story with an adult point of view, but grown-ups and children alike relate to Wicked the musical.

“Whenever there’s an insider reference to something Oz-related or to any of the familiar characters, there’s always an audience reaction,” says St. Louis. “It’s like they’ve been let in on a secret.”

She goes on to observe that it’s the changing bond between Galinda and Elphaba that’s the real crux of the show.

“This is a show about relationships and friendship. What makes the two schoolmates different also makes them stronger together. What’s lacking in one

complements the other,” she says. “It’s recognition of each one’s place in the world, a co-existence that couldn’t be more relevant than it is today.”

The two women convey that message at the end of the show with their emotional rendition of “For Good”—a song of living in harmony, and celebrating what’s different with acceptance.

St. Louis sums it up: “Each day is different because the world is different… and the audience is different. We see parents bringing their children and grandparents bringing their grandchildren.

The words resonate. Everyone can find meaning in this show.”

Wicked invites the audience to experience the show’s sorcery firsthand with a dress-up photo booth offered pre- and post-show and during intermission. Saturday mornings, you can go “Behind the Emerald Curtain” (emeraldcurtain.com) for a 90-minute “sneakified peak behind scenes.”

Wicked is playing at the Gershwin Theatre, 222 W. 51st St. For tickets call 877-250-2929 or visit wickedthemusical.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.

NaTIONaL SEPTEmBER 11 mEmORIaL & mUSEUm New York City’s National September 11 Memorial & Museum honors the nearly 3,000 people killed in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993. The memorial’s design consists of two enormous reflecting pools, each approximately an acre in size, with 30-foot waterfalls cascading down the footprint of the original Twin Towers. The museum portion of this landmark contains monumental and authentic artifacts that help tell the story of 9/11. Through photographs, narratives, and media displays, the museum keeps alive the memory of that tragic day and honors the lives of those who perished. 180 Greenwich St. (Liberty St.), 212-266-5211, 911memorial.org

Be moved at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.

Spectacular views from dawn to dusk at Top of the Rock.

New York is a vertical city and there’s no place better to take it all in than the incredible Top of the Rock, a stunning perch atop Rockefeller Center. On a clear day you can see for miles—80 to be exact.

Beyond the stunning views, you’ll find state-of-the-art features like reserved-time tickets (meaning you won’t need to spend hours standing in line), multimedia exhibits, an indoor viewing area (nice and cozy this time of year), and clear panels for wholly unobstructed views of the city’s most iconic landmarks, including the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, both rivers, and all of Central Park (you won’t appreciate the size of it until you see it from above).

The observation deck was first opened to the public in 1933, and reopened in 2005 as a crown jewel of New York sightseeing. There are two crystal installations by Swarovski, an interactive lighted breezeway on the 69th floor with futuristic motion-detection technology, and, of course, the jaw-dropping Sky Shuttle elevators.

Outfitted with transparent glass ceilings, the Sky Shuttles let riders view their own rapid acceleration through the building’s shaftway as they zip towards the light and open air above.

Open daily 8am-midnight. Admission is $32 for adults, $30 for seniors above age 62, and $26 for children between ages 6 and 12. Kids 5 and under get in free. 30 Rockefeller Plaza (btw. Fifth & Sixth Aves.), 877-NYC-ROCK, topoftherocknyc.com

Hot Town: New York Summer Theatre

By GRIFFIN MILLER

Carol Rosegg

The BeaT & The heaT: It’s officially “hot town, summer in the city” season, making now all about slipping into a New York theatre for musicals with “dancing in the street” reputations for cranking up the heat—in air conditioned comfort, of course. My recommendations:

Robert Creighton leads the cast of Cagney.

Broadway: On Your Feet! The Gloria & emilio estefan Musical; Jersey Boys; Beautiful; School of Rock; Motown; and Kinky Boots...Off-Broadway: Trip of Love; The Marvelous Wonderettes; Stomp!; and newcomer Spamilton, a savvy little send-up of...(you fill in the blank!).

The COunTdOWn IS On: Did you know that former CIA employee Edward Snowden is appearing Off-Broadway?

Okay, you got me, not live—but even on video it’s a nifty little promo point for Privacy, the Public Theater’s new drama starring Daniel Radcliffe, up and running (but only through 8/14). Not that the show—inspired by Snowden’s disclosures and featuring SNL alum Rachel Dratch—needs much help. Rumor has it, this is already a tough ticket to score.

Speaking of the hard score: once they post a closing date, Broadway shows tend to sell out fast. (Just ask anyone angling to see Shuffle along with Tony winners Audra McDonald and Brian Stokes 64 www.cityguideny.com

Mitchell before its doors slam shut 7/24.)

Get cracking for shows bowing out due to limited runs like Fully Committed starring Modern Family’s Jesse Tyler Ferguson, closing 7/31, and an act of God with Sean Hayes, exiting 9/4. Long-running productions departing to make room for the new crop of fall shows include: Finding neverland, the charming musical about playwright James M. Barrie’s creation of Peter Pan, leaves on 8/21, while the hit revival of Les Misérables and the Tony-winning Best Play of 2015, The Curious Incident of the dog in the night-Time, bid adieu on 9/4.

As for 2015’s groundbreaking Tonywinning musical Fun home, it’s taking its act (and some actors, including Tonywinner Michael Cerveris) on the road following its final performance 9/10.

But do catch it during its last weeks on Broadway if you can—it’s life changing.

Plus seeing it in the round at Circle in the Square Theatre makes the experience all the more wonderful. aMeRICana, BIG aPPLe STYLe: July 4th is in the rear view mirror, but we’ve got some red-white-and-blue hits to ease the heat and humidity. Off-Broadway is being especially kind to us with the ultimate Yankee Doodle Dandy of a show, Cagney, a theatrical bio celebrating stage/ screen icon James Cagney. Starring powerhouse performer Robert Creighton in the title role, we’re talking must-see!

Liberty: a Monumental new Musical is another patriotic show (it opened on Independence Day!) that’s generating family-friendly buzz for its entertaining take on the events surrounding the arrival of the Statue of Liberty in New York and how a young French immigrant (Abigail Shapiro) comes to embody the true spirit of the lady in New York Harbor.

Extremely timely and, at a fast-paced 80 minutes, this one’s a keeper.

Irish Hospitality in Times Square: Pig n Whistle

BY Ethan Wolff

One visit to a Pig n Whistle location will make clear why this pub and restaurant has thrived in New York since 1969. The newest branch is in Times Square, with a comfortable interior finished with tasteful wallpaper, exposed brick, and vibrant flags.

The scene stays lively, with music on stage or DJs seven nights a week, plus specials like Margarita Mondays, Taco Tuesdays, and Whiskey Wednesdays.

Being situated right in the thick of things makes this Pig n Whistle popular for both after-work and pre-theater crowds.

Don’t worry if you enter to an energetic scene at the bar: there’s plenty more space upstairs, including an open-air balcony.

Settle in and let one of the welcoming servers guide you through a menu that puts an elevated slant on pub favorites.

Pulled-pork sandwiches are major draws, joined by steak fajitas, fish ‘n’ chips, and nightly specials. Lighter appetites can enjoy fresh Caesar or baby kale salads. That baby kale appears again with mashed potatoes as a bed for the house’s grilled salmon, cooked to order and topped in a mango and citrus chutney that leans more tart than sweet, perfectly complementing the fish.

Wings, tacos, and fried calamari are among the stars of the starters. The house mussels come with tequila, jalapeño, and lime, with spicy chorizo sausage that somehow manages to not overpower the shellfish. Herbed garlic bread is perfect for sopping up the broth.

The house burger is a classic. You can devise your own with everything from blue

cheese to sautéed mushrooms to a fried egg, or you can go with the Pig n Whistle Signature. It starts with Black Angus beef, which gets a perfect crust thanks to expert flame-grilling. There’s additional crunch from some crispy onions, and extra richness from pepper jack cheese and chipotle mayo. The whole thing comes together in a pretzel bun, and it’s cooked to order of course. Fries come on the side, crisp and golden, with tender insides.

The interior nods to both old-world charm (Irish green, white, and orange proudly flying in the stairwell, among many colorful flags) and New York character— witness the black ‘n’ white prints that show the vintage city. Like any good pub, there are flatscreens aplenty, enough to provide clear sightlines no matter where you’re seated. From MLB to the NFL to the UEFA European Championship and other soccer matches, all the fan favorites are here.

Friendly greetings and great deals can be scarce in Times Square, but you’ll find both at the Pig n Whistle. $15 weekend brunches come with a complimentary mimosa or Bloody Mary. The $5 happy hour specials run weeknights from 4pm to 8pm, bar lunches are $13 and include a free drink, and you can slurp down $1 Blue Point oysters any time you like.

Friendly greetings and great deals...
