Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966), was a master of perspective. His elongated human figures, spindly miniatures, and ghostly paintings and drawings invite the viewer to lean in close and evaluate the work on its own terms rather than those of the viewer herself. Newly opened at the soloMon r. GuGGenheiM MuseuM, the show Giacometti presents the first major U.S. look at this Modernist master in over a decade, with more than 175 works on display. Plaster sculptures from Giacometti’s studio help illuminate the artist’s working relationship with his materials. Rarely seen journals, sketches, and photographs complete the exhibitiom, offering a deeper picture of the artist’s mind at work. 1071 Fifth Ave. (89th St.), 212-423-3500, guggenheim.org

The legacy of Coney Island’s legendary amusement parks lives at luna ParK, one of the city’s biggest summertime draws. A wide variety of rides for thrills and fun await, including the newly opened Astro Tower and virtual realityinfused Cozmo Jet. Of course, there’s the classic Cyclone roller coaster, which saw its first riders in 1927, plus the new Thunderbolt, featuring a 90-degree drop (!), and the Steeplechase, where riders sit on horse-shaped seats like jockeys at a race. Thrill-seekers can also check out the gravitydefying Slingshot and giant see saw-like Zenobio. Not a fan of free-falls and loop-de-loops? Try the 1906-built B&B Carousell, the Circus Coaster, or Tea Party, perfect for younger visitors. Keeping with Coney Island tradition, Luna Park is an opengated amusement park with no fee to enter. 1000 Surf Ave. (btw. W. 10th & W. 15th Sts.), 718-373-LUNA (5862), lunaparknyc.com

Summer in the City
Ariana DeBose is some hot stuff as “Disco Donna” in Summer: The Donna Summer Musical. The era of platform shoes, glam jumpsuits (his and hers), voluptuous hair, and dancing—always to the beat, always with attitude, usually under the flicker of a disco ball and to juggernaut hits that you met first on the radio—is back with a fierce autobiographical twist. Summer: The Donna Summer Musical, with its winning parade of Summer’s songs, is lighting up the stage of Broadway’s Lunt-Fontanne Theatre with its savvy portrait of the Queen of Disco. Ironically, Summer fought against the royal title—she didn’t feel it represented who she was. But, as the show makes clear, there was no bucking the media or her growing fan base. At one point the character of Neil Bogart (head of Casablanca Records and Donna’s mentor, played by Aaron Krohn) tells Summer to her face: “You’re about glamour, you’re the Disco Queen…” To tap into the various stages of her life, the musical presents three versions of Summer: Duckling Donna (Storm Lever), the young girl who dreams of stardom; Disco Donna (Ariana DeBose), who catapults to fame in 1975 with her intensely sensual “Love to Love You Baby”; and Diva Donna (LaChanze, who scored a Tony for her leading lady performance in the original Broadway production of The Color Purple), as the mature wife-mother-artist. It’s Diva Donna who opens the show, in electric blue elegance, telling us, her audience du jour, “I want the next couple

of hours to be a time that everybody here remembers forever. You know what they say, play each show as if it’s your last and one day you’ll be right. I guess this is the concert of a lifetime.” Brought up in a modest home in Dorchester, Massachusetts, Summer made her way up the R&B and pop charts via Munich, New York, and Los Angeles, along the way creating a chapter of music embraced by a generation hungry to break through sexual and racial barriers. “Donna Summer was a catalyst for the music scene, as big as any headliner,” says DeBose, whose extensive Broadway credits include A Bronx Tale, Hamilton, and Pippin. “Her music has influenced every singer, Madonna, Beyoncé, everyone.” Summer’s life experiences are woven throughout the lavish show as she evolves from church choir singer to dance floor goddess to chart-topping superstar. Still, for DeBose, a native of Raleigh, North Carolina, what stood out while developing her character were the similarities in her and Donna’s
“I want the next couple of hours to be a time that everybody here remembers forever...”
career trajectories: “Donna Summer and I both started working at 18 and learned from the school of life, rather than from a university curriculum,” she notes. “I’m a dancer and her music is all about dance moves. I felt a natural attraction to this show and I brought in my dance to bring the facets of my character together.” Musically, Summer soars, with a score— by Summer, Giorgio Moroder, Paul Jabara, and others—comprised of such (now) classics as “Last Dance,” “On the Radio,” “She Works Hard for the Money,” “Hot Stuff,” and even a nod to the singer’s first break, in 1968 in the Munich production of Hair: “White Boys.” As for the dancing, get ready for some powerhouse moves created by On Your Feet! choreographer Sergio Trujillo. The show’s storyline (book by Coleman Domingo, Robert Cary, and show director Des McAnuff) tracks the evolution of kid to megastar and beyond, struggles and
setbacks included, giving theatregoers a privileged look at the soul beneath the wig and sequins. “Donna Summer was a real person and a real person who made mistakes,” says DeBose. “But those mistakes didn’t diminish her impact on the music world, and she’s now being rediscovered as a female force in this time when women are taking charge.” According to DeBose, it’s that message that has female theatregoers lining up at the stage door, not just for autographs and selfies, but to talk about the aspects of the show that resonated with them, like the number of women on stage, the diversity, and Summer’s remarkable power to enthrall and influence even today. “It’s very interesting,” observes DeBose. “They all mention how important the song ‘She Works Hard for the Money’ is to them, and how they can relate…and they thank us for sharing the message.”
Summer: The Donna Summer Musical is playing at the Lunt-Fontanne Theater, 205 W. 46th St. For tickets call 877-250-2929 or visit thedonnasummermusical.com.

Matt Bomer, and Andrew Rannells); the first new musical of the 2018-2019 season, Head Over Heels—a comedic Elizabethan farce with a score courtesy of The Go-Go’s; Straight White Men, a father-and-sons Christmas fiasco of a play featuring Armie Hammer (The Social Network) and Emmywinner Tom Skerritt (Picket Fences); and Gettin’ the Band Back Together (a musical with a title that could be a give-away, but probably not), starring Marilu Henner of Taxi fame, and Mitchell Jarvis, who comes to the show with Broadway R&R cred, having originated the role of Lonny in Rock of Ages. Celebrities involved with long-running Broadway shows are also in the summertime news, starting with The CW’s Supergirl Melissa Benoist, who took on the role of Carole King in the hit musical Beautiful on June 7th and will remain with the show through August 4th. Another leading lady with TV roots, Katharine McPhee—the breakout star of NBC’s Smash, who cut her celebrity teeth during Season 5 of American Idol—back in
For example, after a four-year absence, Mummenschanz is back Off-Broadway at the Gerald W. Lynch Theater—way west on 59th St.—with a new show: you & me, created by the troupe’s co-founder Floriana Frassetto. If you’re unfamiliar with Mummenschanz, their performances are a fantastical mash-up of physical ingenuity, masks, shapes, and light play—play being the operative word. Unfolding without music, or any sounds for that matter (hence the handle “The Musicians of Silence”), their shows are tantalizing, funny, and family-friendly. Frassetto intends to “awaken the little child in everyone.” (Running July 4th thru the 22nd.) Meanwhile, Broadway, known for being fairly quiet this time of year, is shattering its seasonal status quo with four post-Tony productions: a star-swept The Boys in the Band (Jim Parsons, Zachary Quinto,

the diner playing Jenna, pie-baker extraordinaire, in Waitress. After a brief hiatus, she rejoins the cast July 5th thru August 19th. Meanwhile, over at A Bronx Tale, a rare opportunity to catch Oscar nominee Chazz Palminteri play Sonny—the role he brought to life in his autobiographical 1989 solo show of the same name, which he took to Broadway in 2007. His current gig, marking his singing and dancing Broadway debut, is filling in for the musical’s original Sonny, Nick Cordero, for weekday performances. If you add in the successful 1993 film of A Bronx Tale, Palminteri will have a trifecta of Sonnys under his career belt. Should you be a Bernadette Peters fan (and who isn’t?), time is ticking for her celebrated run in the megahit Hello, Dolly!—the Tony winner ends her engagement on July 15th, taking with her co-star (and Tony nominee) Victor Garber. However, Bette Midler, who picked up a Tony in the role last year, is stepping back in, taking the show through its
final performance on August 25th. She will be joined by her former leading man, David Hyde-Pierce.“I am forever grateful to Bette for suggesting I step into the role of Dolly Levi,” says Peters. Finally, an alert to a couple of groundbreaking Off-Broadway shows. Beginning July 4th at the Museum of Jewish Heritage, catch a Yiddish language production of Fiddler on the Roof directed by Oscar and Tony winner Joel Grey. Three noted Broadway veterans have been recruited to play the leads: Jackie Hoffman (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory; Hairspray) Steven Skybell (Fiddler; Wicked) and Mary Illes (Phantom of the Opera, The Music Man). Then, on July 12th at the Theatre at St. Clements, comes Emmy-winning writer and actress Renée Taylor’s My Life on a Diet. Taylor, known for playing Sylvia on the sitcom The Nanny, wrote her “autobiographical comedy with weight” with her late husband, Joseph Bologna.
