The towering tree in ROCKEFELLER CENTER is an international symbol of the holiday spirit. This year’s lighting on Wednesday, Nov. 30 will feature live performances from 7 to 9pm. The tree will remain lit, and can be viewed, through Jan. 7, 2017. Note that the lighting ceremony gets very crowded, so it’s best to be there hours in advance, or come back after the 30th, when the scene is more manageable. Nearby is THE RINK AT ROCKEFELLER CENTER, the world’s most famous patch of ice. Take advantage of a package deal, like a Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes™ combo, that’ll get you both into the show and onto the rink.

Cover Story The Phantom: Broadway’s Longest Running Anti-Hero BY MATT SMITH

Matthew Murphy

Though you wouldn’t know it if you saw him out of character, actor James Barbour has a knack for playing tortured souls. “I used to joke that I was going to call my company DBG [for] Dark Brooding Guy, because every role I play on Broadway is a dark, brooding guy, who’s damaged in some way from his past,” he says, laughing.

A portrait of obsession: James Barbour and Ali Ewoldt shine in the legendary Phantom of the Opera.

The proof is in his résumé: the Beast (Beauty and the Beast), Edward Rochester (Jane Eyre), Leon Czolgosz (Assassins), and Sydney Carlton (A Tale of Two Cities). Now Barbour’s back on the Great White Way as musical theatre’s most iconic DBG, the Phantom of the Opera, the lovesick antihero who haunts the Paris Opera House in order to foster the career of his protégée/ 32 www.cityguideny.com

obsession, soprano Christine Daaé (Ali Ewoldt, who made history as Broadway’s first Asian-American to step into the role). Despite his love of for the role, Barbour acknowledges it has its challenges. “It’s one of the most physically demanding roles I’ve ever done, and it’s interesting because watching it, you wouldn’t necessarily think that,” he says, going on to quote musical supervisor David Caddick on the subject: “When he’s on stage…there is no downtime. There is no time when he is on the stage where it’s just relaxed. It’s 100% all the time.” Physical demands aside, Barbour— who joined the company in February, 2015—recognizes the importance of keeping his performance fresh. “It’s a constant process,” he says. “I’m always, always looking for a way to bring new life to it.” One approach he’s found helpful is to revisit past notes from the creative team in the hopes of touching upon something he may have forgotten, or improving on an already established moment. For example, he appreciates the fact that new people are constantly joining the cast—something that allows him to “keep it true” to what audiences love about the show and story, while putting his own stamp on the Phantom.

“The uniqueness of this show is unprecedented...”

Notably, Barbour adds a distinctive emotional layer to his performance that comes across vocally as seething jealousy, brought to climax when he realizes he’s lost Christine to his rival, the handsome Raoul (Jordan Donica). The scream he emits atop a towering angel statue—the first hint of his anger and eventual descent into madness—is both chilling and heartbreaking. If Barbour’s performance is formidable, so is the time he spends with his fellow cast members whom he proudly calls “a giant family.” “We know each others’ spouses, boyfriends, girlfriends, children,” he says, “and that in itself is a basis for understand-

ing and knowledge”—invaluable assets to actors connecting onstage. “The uniqueness of this show is unprecedented,” says Barbour, referring not only to Andrew Lloyd Webber’s seminal music and the production’s record-breaking longevity (28½ years and counting!), but to the spellbound audiences—including many diehard “Phans,” who pack the Majestic Theatre night after night as well. “I meet people from every walk of life,” he says, awed by the crowds that include an impressive international draw. “Brazil, Germany, Spain, Austria, Mexico, Canada, Japan, China, Korea… it’s become an experience like none other.”

The Phantom of the Opera is playing at Broadway’s Majestic Theatre, 247 W. 44th St. For tickets call 212-239-6200 or visit thephantomoftheopera.com.

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. You’ll find state-of-the-art features such as reserved-time tickets (meaning you won’t need to spend hours standing in line), multimedia exhibits, an indoor viewing area (nice and cozy for colder days), and transparent safety-glass panels that allow wholly unobstructed views of the city’s most iconic landmarks, including the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the rivers, and all of Central Park (its size can only truly be appreciated when seen from above). This crown jewel of New York sightseeing also boasts two crystal installations by Swarovski and 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 their way towards the light and open air above. The Grand Viewing Deck on the 69th floor offers unparalleled views of the city, with visibility reaching some 30 miles on a clear day. The 70th Floor is the proverbial cherry on top, allowing visitors to experience a 360-degree panorama of Manhattan in all of its glory. This is an open-air perch with completely unobstructed views—no glass or anything. It provides a vantage point unlike any other in the city...or the world. Open daily 8am-midnight. Admission $32 adults, $30 seniors above age 62, $26 children 6-12.; kids 5 and under free. 30 Rockefeller Plaza (btw. Fifth & Sixth Aves.), 877-NYC-ROCK, topoftherocknyc.com

which has been extended through December 1st. Uptown at Playwrights Horizons, Tony and Emmy winner David Hyde Pierce (Curtains, Frasier) has returned to the New York stage in the world premiere production of Adam Bock’s A Life, playing a middle-aged guy who turns to astronomy when his love life seems to have tanked indefinitely. Moving on to a show that could well sell out during its limited run (through 12/30) at the Pershing Square Signature Center: The 50th anniversary revival of the Sutton Foster takes the title Neil Simon-Cy role in Sweet Charity. Coleman-Dorothy Fields beloved musical Sweet Charity. Starring two-time Tony winner Sutton Foster (Anything Goes, Thoroughly Modern Millie) in the title role, and Tony winner Shuler Hensley (Oklahoma) as “Oscar,” this major-buzz production reunites Foster with her Violet director, Tony nominee Leigh Silverman.

To native New Yorkers star spotting is more or less a daily occurrence, but for visitors it’s the sort of surprise happenstance that requires keeping one’s smartphone camera on red alert no matter where the day takes you. I’ve seen celebrities everywhere from subway platforms to museums to traffic islands to hardware stores to Starbucks, as well as darting in and out of taxis, restaurants, and hotels. The one thing practically all of them seem to share is a love of theatre. As a result, when they’re not onstage performing, they make it a point to take in as many shows as possible. Regarding the current collection of big name draws—well, let’s just say audiences are in for a seriously mindblowing season, with Off-Broadway giving Broadway a run for its superstars thanks to the Tony, Emmy, and Oscar winners who opted for projects “Off” the Great White Way. At the Public Theatre, for instance, Oscar recipient Rachel Weisz (Betrayal, The Constant Gardener) and Corey Stoll (House of Cards, Troilus and Cressida) are leading the cast of a new production of Tony-winning playwright David Hare’s groundbreaking WWII drama Plenty,

And since we’re talking Violet, zero degrees of separation—and a U-turn onto Broadway—takes us to another former cast member of that show, Nathaniel Stampley, who will be taking over the role of “Mister” in the Tony-winning revival of The Color Purple as of November 15th (Isaiah Johnson departs the role on November 13th). Stampley, by the way, was a member of the original 2005 Color Purple ensemble. Other Broadway casting news: Sheryl Lee Ralph is Wicked’s new Madame Morrible! With a Tony nomination for her seminal performance as Deena Jones in the original Broadway production of Dreamgirls, Ralph went on to pick up her own zero-degrees connection to Sutton Foster when she originated the role of Muzzy Van Hossmere in Thoroughly Modern Millie. Meanwhile, it’s a new school year at School of Rock— The Musical, which means not only a new student body, but a slightly unhinged substitute Eric Petersen grabs the teacher—Dewey lead in School of Rock. Finn—being portrayed by Eric Petersen, a comic actor who seems born to play a wannabe rocker/full-time slacker-turnedclassroom-Svengali. He replaces Tony nominee Alex Brightman, who exits the show on November 6th. And should you want to see Brightman onstage post-School of Rock, you can find him among the November headliners at White Rabbit Red Rabbit, a cunningly unique play that runs Mondays at Off-Broadway’s Westside Theatre. A

new actor—who has never seen the script or had a single rehearsal—opens a sealed envelope and zingo: a once-in-a-lifetime performance. The November lineup is: 11/7, Mo Rocca; 11/14, Alex Brightman; 11/21, Nancy Travis; and 11/28, TBA, i.e., visit whiterabbitredrabbit.com. PIP’S ISLAND Sometimes a show for kids hits all the right notes: good concept (check); cool actors (check); interaction (check); fun music (check, check, check). But once in a very blue—probably cerulean or cobalt—moon comes a production aimed at children that offers all of the above and umpteen more check marks...check marks that let loose 21st-century pop culture goodies (graphic novels, web series, apps, video games, etc.) and toss in live actors, a propulsive storyline, and creative problem solving for an allimmersive theatrical experience. “Pip’s Island is about empowering children by giving experiences that will help them find the spark within,” says Rania Ajami, the female half of the brother and sister partnership that created these awesome “expeditions” for kids ages 4 to 10. Notes her brother Rami, “Born from today’s need for children to have multisensorial experiences that challenge their minds, spirits, and bodies, we believe Pip’s Island is the future of kid’s entertainment...” Of course the youngsters’ focus will be more in-the-moment as they toy with gadgets, interact with puppets, and wrangle “five powerful Sparks of energy in order to save the day!” Performances begin November 12th at Skylight Modern, 537 W. 27th St., btw. Tenth and Eleventh Aves. For info and tickets visit pipsisland.com.

Be Transported at Zibetto Espresso Bar There's nothing like a crisp morning in New York City for getting you in the proper frame of mind for a visit to Zibetto Espresso Bar. Step into one of their three locations in midtown Manhattan and you’ll have the feel of walking into any small café from Trieste to Milano. One look at the gleaming La Cimbali espresso machine behind the marble bar and you'll be assured they know what they're doing. Settle in with a pastry and be transported.

This is a coffee shop, but there’s no ordinary drip coffee served here. The beans are a custom blend, specially roasted in Bologna. That La Cimbali machine is perfectly calibrated, with temperatures set out to the decimal place. The friendly staff dresses with the effortless chic of Italy, and that same attention to detail applies to the coffee. Baristas demonstrate the skill, expertise, and many hours of training it takes to pour a perfect cup. You need at least four years of experience to be hired here.

“The feel of walking into any small café from Trieste to Milano...”

BY ETHAN WOLFF

All the favorites are served, from super-smooth cappuccinos and espressos to lattes, Americanos, and cocoaenhanced Marocchinos. (Come back later in the day and you may be tempted by a selection of beer, wine, or Prosecco, plus mimosas and bellinis.) Memorable tiramisu, cannoli, and cornetti tempt on the pastry side. Come lunchtime, you’ll find fresh salads and hand-pressed panini. As with the coffee, ingredients are carefully chosen, reflecting the best providers in the world. Mozzarella, fontina, and soppressata are all imported from Italy. The prosciutto is mouth-meltingly tender, aged for 24 months. In addition to the Italian authenticity, among the acres of polished white marble you’ll also find some serious New York energy here. The 1221 Sixth Avenue location happens to be the headquarters of Sirius XM Radio and a seat by the window will give you a perfect vantage on celebrities coming in to the studios (and the paparazzi that accompany them). Kelly Clarkson, Lady Gaga, and Kate Hudson are just a few of the bold-faced names that stop in at Zibetto. But you don’t have to be a name, or even a regular, to enjoy the Zibetto experience. Over ten years, the philosophy has remained the same: focused on people, quality, and attention to detail. And some damn fine coffee.
