“A shoe tells a story,” says footwear designer Stuart Weitzman—and it’s done so through history, as people “used shoes to say something about who they were.”

Weitzman should know: for three decades, along with running his eponymous company, he and his wife Jane have been collecting vintage footwear. Now, 100 items from their cache are on display in WAlK ThIS WAY at the NEW-YORK HiStORiCAl SOCiEtY, supplemented by the museum’s own collection and some contemporary creations. Be entranced by the beauty of the shoes themselves, as they gleam like jewels in their transparent cases, joined by rows of glittering detached heels. 170 Central Park W.

Cover Story Mean Girls, Mean Girls, Whatcha Gonna Do?

© 2018 Joan Marcus

By GRIFFIN MILLER

Taylor Louderman, as apex predator Regina George, stands front and center in Mean Girls.

When Taylor Louderman makes her entrance as “apex predator” Regina George in Tina Fey’s acclaimed new musical Mean Girls, she arrives in a spectacularly gauzy burst of pink attitude. It’s a pose that’s met with simultaneous gasps of awe and dread from the jocks, stoners, freaks, strivers, survivors, wallflowers, skeevers, and geeks flanking the stage as Regina and her posse of two (insecure Gretchen Wieners and dimbo Karen Smith) move in to dominate an otherwise pedestrian cafeteria.

Murmurs and cheers from the audience as recognition sets in. These babes are “Plastics,” the high-maintenance clique introduced in Fey’s 2004 film about wide-eyed teenager Cady Heron (Erika Henningsen)— raised and homeschooled in Kenya “with the lions and birds and stuff”—suddenly transplanted to Chicago and thrust into the socially feral world of public high school. The learning curve from hell.

As for Regina, while she may be the fictional spawn of generations of lesser Queen Bees, Fey’s exaggeration ratio for her antiheroine isn’t that far off-base. Equally skilled at the full-frontal putdown (“No one thinks you’re funny and your teeth look like corn”) and its backhanded cousin (“I might buy you the suede heels—to lift your butt”), Regina’s sense of entitlement reads borderline pathological when stealing back ex-boyfriends or plotting revenge.

The time lapse between the film and

32 www.cityguideny.com

the stage version also allows for the fun and angst indigenous to social media. “Tina brings both fresh material, including new laughs, as well as quotes we love and adore from the film,” says Louderman.

And as portrayed by the 20-something Broadway vet (Bring It On; Kinky Boots), the character of Regina is “fetch” squared in a skintight catsuit. No surprise, Louderman was a fan; watching the film in TV reruns has been more than a passing passion.

But she’s well aware of the difference between filming a stage production and turning cinema into theatre. “The whole idea of storytelling is different because you’re not playing to the camera, which is intimate,” she explains. “Here, you have to go big just to reach the back of the house.”

Something Rachel McAdams never had to deal with when playing Regina on-screen.

Still, when talking about creating the role for the musical, Louderman was clear: she wanted to be true to McAdams’ vision while instilling the character with her own perspective. “And of course there’s the fact that the 2018 Queen Bee is different.

Women are owning their power…and taking control, which puts an interesting spin on the show theatrically,” she says.

A burst of pink attitude...

Which is not to say the show isn’t plastered with Fey’s comedic stamp—in some cases verbatim from the film, in others with a giggly delirium that comes should you amp up the smear campaign in the pages of Regina’s infamous “Burn Book” with giant wall projections. Suggestion: return from intermission early to take full advantage of the expansive collection of defaced photographs, snarky quotes, and evil snippets—which I’m pretty sure everyone in the audience will identify with.

Certainly Fey, who culled her inspiration for Mean Girls from her own high school days, and Rosalind Wiseman’s nonfiction self-help book Queen Bees and Wannabes, which offers a pigeonhole for every group and groupie. It was from the book that Louderman zeroed in on her own status while attending high school in Missouri.

“I was what you’d call a ‘floater’—that

is a person who walks around to different cliques, which is what I did,” she says. And was one of them a variation on the Plastics?

“I did try my hand at the mean girl thing, but it wasn’t for me,” she says. “Way too much effort. But I am grateful I was a floater—it helps me walk in different shoes.”

Speaking of shoes, I do not recall any of the girls at Euclid Senior (“Go Panthers!”) walking around school halls in heels—nor does Louderman.

In the end, however, it’s the show’s talented cast, from the ensemble to the leads, that makes the biggest impression on audiences. “Each character has their own sound and their own story, while the message—to treat everyone with dignity and respect—is really profound,” says Louderman. “Even at the stagedoor, kids reach out to us, telling us their stories. It’s so rewarding to know what we’re doing can make a difference.”

Mean Girls is playing at Broadway’s August Wilson Theatre, 245 W. 52nd St. For reservations call 212-239-6200 or visit meangirlsonbroadway.com

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

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-10pm, with the last ticket sale at 9:15pm. Admission is $34 for adults, $32 for seniors above age 65, and $28 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.

Tony Time: Beyond the Buzz

Ashley Park, Taylor Louderman, Kate Rockwell, and Erika Henningsen are so fetch in Mean Girls.

In a Tony season dominated by: a) pop culture, in a head-spinning pastiche of sources, from best-seller pedigree (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), to teen chick flicks (Mean Girls), to quirky cartoon (SpongeBob SquarePants), to animated blockbuster (Frozen); and b) iconic revivals, spanning both musicals (My Fair Lady; Carousel), and dramas (Angels in America; The Iceman Cometh; Three Tall Women), it’s easy to get so caught up in the excitement of reviews and awards that you ignore the simple question facing every theatregoer: what do you like?

Sometimes the answer is as simple as a favorite star. Tony winner Laurie Metcalf (A Doll’s House Part 2), for example, whose Oscar-nominated performance in Lady Bird almost eclipsed her current star turn in Three Tall Women opposite 81-year-old Oscar winner Glenda Jackson. Or, should you have a soft spot in your heart for HBO’s expired series Six Feet Under, you are dying (all puns intended) to check out Lauren Ambrose in her Broadway musical debut as Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady.

Denzel (does he really need a last name anymore?) Washington as Hickey in Eugene O’Neill’s The Iceman Cometh is the shattered nucleus around which barflies congregate, a group made up of celebrated stage veterans including Tony winners Bill Irwin (Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?) and Frank Wood (Side Man), as well as David Morse (The Seafarer; House). This is a gorgeously etched

60 www.cityguideny.com

production attracting more than Washington’s fan base.

Occasionally, the biggest drawing card for a hit show is the author—i.e. Tina Fey, whose comedic personality is all over her musical adaptation of her 2004 film Mean Girls. Updated to embrace social media and to some degree fashion (50 Shades of Pink?), the show’s music was composed by Fey’s husband, Jeff Richmond, with lyrics by Nell Benjamin.

Then again, it might be all about the kids—Disney’s latest sell-out Frozen, for example, boasts an audience peppered with shimmering mini-Elsas, all sufficiently awestruck when Broadway veteran Caissie Levy dazzles to the nth degree of stage magic by belting “Let It Go.” SpongeBob SquarePants, the season’s other kid magnet, also warrants a major thumbs-up for adults—and should a grownup be suffering from depression, anxiety, and/or ennui, the show is a pretty fun antidote. (Another show with similar therapeutic powers is the long-running, riotous Broadway romp The Play That Goes Wrong.) And in case you happen to be a rock fan, SpongeBob’s score comes wrapped in multi-platinum contributors (Cyndi Lauper, David Bowie, John Legend…long list, best to just Google).

Speaking of rock VIPs, you now have through December 15th to land tickets to Springsteen on Broadway. The Boss, as you probably know, was chosen for a Special

COMINGS & GOINGS

If you have your heart set on seeing Lea Salonga’s lovely portrayal of the god Erzule in the musical revival Once on This Island, the clock is ticking. The Tony-winning actress (Miss Saigon) will play her last performance on June 24th. Fans of Scorpion and Smash will want to take note that Katharine McPhee will be ending her stint as Jenna, the piebaking heroine of Waitress, on June 17th.

As for new cast members, Tyler Glenn— lead singer of the multi-platinum rock band Neon Trees—recently made his Broadway debut in the role of Charlie Price in the Tonywinning musical Kinky Boots. Glenn, who’s slated to remain with the show through July 17th, says, “I love this show and its message of inclusion and its genuine sweetness and humanity. Plus, it’s just so much fun. I’m honored to be a part of the family and rock the boots all summer long!”

Another high-profile entertainer making her Broadway debut is Supergirl star Melissa Benoist, who assumes the role of Carole King in the long-running hit Beautiful, for a limited run: June 7th through August 4th. According to Benoist, who played Marley Rose on Glee’s fourth and fifth seasons, “Carole’s music was a mainstay in my household

growing up, like it was for so many people.

It will be an honor and a pleasure to sing her music and portray her inspiring resilience to audiences every night.”

Finally, in a truly remarkable casting coup, Oscar nominee Chazz Palminteri joins the company of his labor-of-love musical, A Bronx Tale, taking over the pivotal role of Sonny for all weekday performances (Tuesday through Friday) as of May 24th. The show’s current Sonny, Tony nominee Nick Cordero, will play the role on Saturdays and Sundays. “I’m thrilled to be sharing the role of Sonny with Chazz, who created this remarkable character,” says Cordero, who will be shooting a film during the week for several months.

OFF-BROADWAY: FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION It’s summer in the city and if you think you’re too old for camp, you’re very, very wrong. Just tweak the definition and head to Off-Broadway’s St. Luke’s Theatre where FRIENDS! The Musical Parody—a 100% off-the-wall campy sendup of the adored ‘90s sitcom. The hair! The costumes! The rapid-fire plot twists! You’ve entered the 20-something world of Monica, Ross, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler, and runaway bride Rachel (with a side order of Gunther at their Central Perk hangout). Already a cult favorite—Friday night especially—this madcap production was created by veteran satirists Bob and Tobly McSmith. And should you need an infusion of hilarity (far more blue than its TV source material) join the gang as often as possible: “They’ll be there for you!”

One last temptation…arriving June 13th is world-renowned illusionist Vitaly Beckman appearing at The Westside Theatre with an ingenious collection of unparalleled surprises—like making faces disappear from driver’s licenses and turning art into reality. The show? VITALY: An Evening of Wonders. The draw? Illusions that have blown the minds of audiences across the globe. “I’ve heard that it takes a lot to shock and astonish New Yorkers, but I think I may have a few surprises in store,” Vitaly says. “I’m thrilled to make my Off-Broadway debut, and I look forward to a summer of magic in this magical city.”

Taste of the Town

New York Is Your Oyster at Blue Seafood Bar

BY Merrill lee Girardeau New York is arguably the world’s preeminent coastal town. Case in point? Blue Seafood Bar. This Hell’s Kitchen hot spot offers freshas-it-gets seafood that’s also sustainably sourced, from local oysters to grilled octopus to 2-lb. branzino baked in sea sallt.

SUSTAINABLE. Blue sets its standards high, drawing on the fresh, the wild, and the organically cultivated. The crowning glory is the oyster menu, where each oyster (some from the East Coast, some from the West) comes with its own flavor profile, similar to what you’d hear from a sommelier. The Wellfleet from Cape Cod, for example, is “plump, mild & slightly sweet, briny & crisp, clean finish.”

We also recommend sharing the crudo plate with a rotating selection of three raw dishes, or raw bar treasures like Mr. Krabs, jumbo crab meat with aioli and shishito pepper, and the Platter of the Sea with crab, shrimp, half lobster, and one of every oyster variety. The grilled Spanish octopus appetizer is another must, one of the city’s best iterations of this of-the-moment dish.

If you’re wanting to share but less keen

on raw fish, consider the mixed grill seafood platter. This bounty serves two guests easily with scallops, calamari, octopus, mussels, clams, shrimp, and a branzino filet to round it out. Perfect for a special night out!

WEEKEND BRUNCH. You can do a lot with 90 minutes—like drink bottomless brunch cocktails and enjoy a frittata! Every weekend from 11am to 4pm, Blue Seafood Bar serves refillable drinks and an entree for $36 with a 90-minute window for refills. You can have a pear bellini with bacon and waffles or a screwdriver with the quiche du jour, among other options. As with the dinner menu, you can make a small-plate melange from oysters, a shrimp cocktail, and a seafood pizza, or have a big plate of linguini alle vongole with clams all to yourself.

THE LUNCH MENU. Whether for business or pleasure, Blue Seafood Bar’s prix fixe lunch is only $20 and includes New England clam chowder, an entree, soda, and coffee. For entrees, we suggest the margherita pizza, baked in a brick oven. In addition to the excellent pizza menu (also available for dinner), there are sandwiches and paninis like an Angus burger with arugula and heirloom tomatoes, or smoked salmon with Greek garnishes like cucumber, dill, and feta.

THE SPACE. If you’ve ever dreamed of climbing aboard a Greek steamship circa 1900, dream no more. The nautical embellishments around the dining room here add a magical feel to your dining experience. The fish-eye mirrors on the walls and copper hanging lamps, in addition to the white, U-shaped bar, complete the feeling that you’re somehow on the Titanic (or a similar ocean liner with a happier history). Blue will gladly speak with you about renting out the space for upcoming rehearsal dinners, business events, baby showers, or any other occasion where you need lovely surroundings, strong cocktails, and excellent seafood.

New York Dining: New Tastes and Classic Faves From local seafood to timeless steakhouses to contemporary creative kitchens, New York’s restaurants are serving some of the world’s finest food.

SEN SAkANA

BENJAMIN StEAkhouSE

The flavors of Japan and Peru come together at Sen Sakana.

Old World service and charm await at Benjamin Steakhouse.

The staff at Benjamin Steakhouse is courteous, accommodating, and knowledgeable of a menu that includes everyone’s favorites—and not just meat. Seafood items include Chilean sea bass, Norwegian salmon, yellowfin tuna, and lobster. Sirloin, filet mignon, lamb, and veal chops are all dry-aged in their own aging box. Sumptuous desserts provide the perfect finish.

hB BuRGER

t

Named one of the Top 5 Burgers in NYC by Nick Solares of “A Hamburger Today” and “Serious Eats,” HB Burger is not your average burger joint. Choose from a series of specialty burgers, including tuna, bison, veggie, and Kobe beef. There’s also great salads and “Must Trys” that range from fried pickles to Reuben spring rolls to fresh-cut Idaho fries. Fresh-brewed house beers make a perfect accompaniment, and you can finish with the “World’s Smallest Hot Fudge Sundae.” 127 W. 43rd St. (btw. Sixth & Seventh Aves.), 212-575-5848, hbburger.com

Guests at midtown newcomer Sen Sakana love the “culinary romance of Japan and Peru,” the hybrid style of cooking called Nikkei. Enjoy a very tasty adventure as you sample the likes of zesty yuzu balanced with aji amarillo pepper, or sushi with a bit of sweet potato, or pork belly with oshinko, a Japanese pickle. You’ll enjoy it all in a stylish, energetic space with a contemporary vibe.

28 W. 44th St. (btw. Fifth & Sixth Aves.), 212-221-9560, sensakana.com

BucA dI BEppo Buca di Beppo specializes in Italian classics—they do them so well, they’re in 100 locations across the globe. Beyond serving all of the faves one would expect, like chicken parmigiana, veal marsala, and salmon sorrento, the ambiance captures the warm, vivacious vibe of large Italian family gatherings. Speaking of, dishes are served family-style, so it’s perfect for groups.

1540 Broadway (45th St. btw. Broadway & Sixth Ave.), 212-764-6527, bucadibeppo.com

cAffé pAlERMo When you’re ready for a sweet ending to Little Italy adventures, Caffé Palermo is your destination. Here since 1973, this must-stop is hosted by Baby John, The Cannoli King.

The cannolis at Caffé Palermo keep to that perfect balance between sweet cream and satisfying crunch, making these the best in the city. On top of that you’ll find the finest Italian pastries: cheesecake, tiramisu, rainbow and other Italian cookies, chocolate mousse cake, and “lobster tails” that are off the hook.

Enjoy unbeatable cappuccino and espresso as well—one visit and you’ll know why big names like Danny DeVito, Ray Romano, and Ryan Seacrest are fans. 148 Mulberry St. (btw. Grand & Hester Sts.), 212-431-4205, caffepalermo.com

LA MASSERIA If you crave Italian and want to dine before or after a show, look no further than Theatre District favorite La Masseria. Take your choice of 11 delectable pastas, 12 meat and fish dishes (including branzino, Mediterranean sea bream, and grilled t-bone veal chops with fresh herbs), on top of superfresh salads and daily specials. 235 W. 48th St. (btw. Broadway & Eighth Ave.), 212-582-2111, lamasserianyc.com

SHANGHAI CUISINE You’ll find Shanghainese favorites and an extensive dim sum menu at Shanghai Cuisine, packed with steamed, pan-fried, and deep-fried temptations. The highlights?

Some of the city’s best soup dumplings, available in pork, shrimp & pork, and crab & pork options. There’s an amazing Peking duck as well, and unlike most places in Chinatown, Shanghai Cuisine features a full bar.

Be transported at the elegant new kaiseki restaurant Suzuki.

It’s always exciting to open up a new frontier of experience, like the Japanese haute cuisine known as kaiseki. Midtown newcomer Suzuki is one of the few places in New York to offer kaiseki, showcasing menus of eight or more interconnected courses. The beauty of the presentations works like a frame on a painting, heightening appreciation for the craft on display. (A sushi counter in back, Satsuki, is helmed by Toshio Suzuki, who helped introduce sushi to the U.S.) 114 W. 47th St. (btw.

In New York City you can find an authentic experience anywhere—even in Times Square.

For communal experience, there’s nothing like sharing in the making of a meal, and Ding provides two opportunities. Hot pots let you mix and match from dozens of ingredients to make your perfect soup. There’s also a Koreaninspired table barbecue which uses an innovative smokeless technology. A long list of lunch specials, including several combo deals highlighting the best of Szechuan cuisine, makes Ding a rare bargain in this part of town.
