Beautique Opens At Capri
"The Moms," Denise Albert and Melissa Musen Gerstein, hosted a Mamarazzi Lunch Event with television producer, host and celebrity parent Melissa Rivers on May 13 at Juniper Bar in New York City. The event celebrated Melissa’s new book, The Book of Joan: Tales of Mirth, Mischief, And Manipulation, offering a behind the scenes look at one of the most celebrated mother-daughter relationships. Guests gathered around as Rivers discussed life growing up and her deep, personal bond with her mother, larger-than-life comedian the late Joan Rivers – the subject of her new book. She told the captive audience that, “Our mother-daughter relationship was so real. Everyone saw a bit of themselves in our relationship.” She shared anecdotes of unique moments with her mother, including when immediately after her son Cooper was born, her mother took off and ran away with him quipping, “He was her favorite accessory.” Melissa, like her mother, has worked incredibly hard to achieve success in the entertainment industry.
In fact, she found that to succeed in the entertainment industry as the daughter of a famous parent, she has had to work extremely hard to reach the point where she is today. “You may get the interview, but you may not get the job. If you get the job, you have to work ten times harder to prove yourself because people are going to think you got the job because of who you know,” she said. During the Mamarazzi town-hall, Albert’s mother stood up and told the audience about one time when she was in the waiting room at the pediatrician’s office when Denise and her brother were kids and in ran Joan carrying infant Melissa wearing a bathrobe. To conclude, Melissa told the crowd gathered that her mother imparted an important saying that will stick with her forever. “She always said that this too shall pass. When things are good and bad, appreciate it or know you’re going to get through it because it doesn’t last.” J.M.

A Beautiful Place To Visit, A Great Place To Live Shelter Island is an oasis of tranquility that until now has remained a mystery to many New York City and Hamptons residents. With the publication of the first ever Shelter Island Comprehensive Guide, broker Melina Wein, founder of M. Wein Realty, unveils a unique year-round community that is just a ten minute ferry ride beyond the Hamptons and the pastoral northern wine country, where many of the best attributes of both are enjoyed in abundance. “My guide was written to share information on the wide range of activities, entertainment, businesses, artists, non-profits and more that make our life on this island so special,” said Wein about the guide book which shows the world that Shelter Island is a beautiful place to visit and a great place to live. Living on Shelter Island for the past 20 years, she and her husband Marc have raised a family there, while simultaneously building a thriving real estate business that today represents Shelter Island’s most luxurious waterfront properties as well as its plentiful vacation rental homes.
The Comprehensive Guide, which is the perfect purchase for locals and visitors alike, features breathtaking original Shelter Island photography, much of it shot by Don Bindler, a nine-year sales associate at M. Wein Realty. With the dedication and perseverance of fellow M. Wein associate Yvonne Purcell, along with Jessica Mackin, Eddie Brown, Jan Mackin and Blanca Frausto, the Comprehensive Guide has been compiled with a sense of passion and pride for Shelter Island. Sections include the history, geography and population of Shelter Island, plus an in depth look at its abundant organizations, recreational opportunities, accommodations, restaurants, markets, shopping, ar ts and entertainment. There are also sections on health, beauty and wellness, professional and home services and all of the information you will need to know about the community. The book is available for purchase starting in June around Shelter Island and online on Amazon Kindle. It
alternatively can be obtained by simply calling, emailing or visiting M. Wein Realty, located at 34 North
Ferry Rd on Shelter Island. Call 631-749-0999 or email melina@ mweinrealty.com.

Summer Movies By Miles X. Logan Are there going to be superheroes clashing with sinister opponents who would end the universe, as we know it? Of course. Will Meryl Streep turn in an eye-popping performance that has everyone talking Oscar? Duh. Will Tom Cruise be smashing motorcycles? Ya think? Will there be sequels and remakes with young sultry stars replacing the originals? We l l , h o w a b o u t J u r a s s i c World, Poltergeist, Mad Max and Terminator? Ring a bell? Yes, it’s that time. Though it would seem that winter, with its frigid temperatures, would be the perfect time to go to a movie and get out of the cold, the truth is just the opposite – summer is Hollywood’s time to break out the blockbusters and rake in the cash. Jurassic World is the fourth in the Spielberg franchise but the first in over a decade. Chris Pratt (Star
Trek) and Bryce Dallas Howard get the key roles. It’s due in theaters mid-June. Mad Max made Mel Gibson a cult hero – the gasoline-crazed hero of the outback apocalypse became a superstar. Now, many drinks (and more than a few anti-Semitic slurs later), he gives way to Tom Hardy in George Miller’s Mad Max Fury Road. Yes, Miller directed the first one. Look for it this week. Jai Courtney stars in Terminator Genisys. But wait – Arnold Shwarzennegger is back in the future again as well. Limbs will be torn asunder, bet on that. Watch for the grand opening July 1. Poltergeist is back for the Memorial Day weekend with some brand new technology that promises to stun and awe. Cruise is in yet another Mission: Impossible but frankly we’ve lost count. Does a remake count if it debuted on television? If so Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer in The Man From U.N.C.L.E. revive the 60s hit come August. Then, of course, there is the
gang from Entourage hitting the big screen. Are there any good movies, you ask? Did we mention Meryl Streep? She stars as an aging rocker in Ricki and the Flash and we’re quite sure she learned to play killer electric guitar, sing like Robert Plant, and strut like Mick Jagger. Did we mention Oscar nomination?
B-9
Woody has a new one coming out – no, not Harrelson, Allen. Irrational Man does not feature Alec Baldwin, so life is good. Jamie Blackley, Joaquin Phoenix, Parker Posey, and Emma Stone get the key roles. It’s out near the end of August. Bel Powley lights up the screen in The Diary Of a Teenage Girl and is creating Oscar buzz. Ditto young Shameik Moore in Dope, the biography of Indy’s own Kitty Merrill. Next week George Clooney’s Tomorowland opens amidst excellent reviews.

An animated short subject - could this be you? Fast-paced, colorful and ”funny.” You might even get an award for originality this week. Each time we see you, we seem to notice something new and different.
ARIES (Mar. 20 - Apr. 20) It’s a remake of an old classic. You’ve seen it before and it’s always been a tearjerker. But knowing the ending sets you up in an unusual way this time. When the lights come up, you’ll get great notices. TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 21) Intermission. This intense drama you’ve been living has just about worn you out. It was the slowestmoving movie you’ve ever been in. At least it wasn’t low budget. Time to stretch your legs and walk away. GEMINI (May 21 - June 22) Black and white is the appropriate format for what you have to do. You can direct your attention from one extreme to the other and no one will be confused by the coloration. 3-D glasses may only add a third dementia. CANCER (June 22 - July 23) A foreign art-film, only few are willing to work their brains the way you do, and they may miss the meaning. If
you think you can teach the critics a thing or two, you’re right. They should see Venice and live. LEO (July 23 - Aug. 23) You know those French Sex Farces? Well, you don’t want your life to turn into one, so back up a bit. One partner is all you can handle now, and if you think you have been keeping any secrets, think again. VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 23) You’re the star of this romantic comedy - the story is solid and you love all the character actors. It could be your longest running hit, everything’s working. Concentrate on this script, not its sequel. LIBRA (Sept. 23 - Oct. 23) It’s a full-blown musical extravaganza cast of thousands! But what part are you playing? You want the lead, but are you willing to go the distance? Make up your mind (and your face, a little) and go for it! SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov. 22)
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) Sit back and enjoy the refreshments. Prepare for a double feature. Get comfortable. Time for some mindless entertainment; and, yes, it’s alright to be lazy awhile. After all, you’ve paid your admission. CAPRICORN (Dec. 21 - Jan. 20) How about a silent movie? You’d do well to style yours that way for now. It’s time to turn down your soundtrack and listen to your Producer. The answer you’re looking for will jump out of your screen. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 19) This plot is familiar: “A” meets “B” “A” loses “B”. Time to create a new scenario, but don’t write the ending just yet. Try making it up as you go along. It’s a rare actor who does it in one take every time.
IN THE NEWS
PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20) This movie you’re in is an action-packed adventure, it’s got you holding on to the edge of your seat, hyperventilating. Breathe it all in deeply, but relax. This movie is going to run for quite awhile yet. NOTE: If you were born at the end or beginning of a sign, also read the sign before or after your birthday.

today’s birthday by Miles X. Logan
Cherilyn Sarkisian, 1946
A shy young lady, Cherilyn didn’t smile much – she didn’t like the way her teeth looked. And though a gifted singer, she was too shy to sing in public despite the fact her husband worked for the legendary record producer Phil Spector and the newlyweds often spent days and nights in recording studios. Cherilyn knew what she wanted early on. She quit high school, moved to Los Angeles, took acting lessons by day and danced in seedy clubs by night, and befriended anyone she thought could help her out in her quest to be famous. She was only 16 when she met Sonny Bono, 27, who hired her as a housekeeper. Romance bloomed. Spector, eventually, warmed up to Cher and used her as a back up singer on occasion. In fact, listen carefully and you can hear her on the megahits “You’ve Lost That Loving feeling” by the Righteous Brothers and “Be My Baby” by the Ronettes. Bono, madly in love, wanted to market his wife as a soloist but Cher, as she called herself, suffered from stage fright and insisted he perform with her. Their first song “I Got You Babe” became a huge hit in England, where the couple literally became overnight sensations after causing a stir at a ritzy hotel that was captured in the tabloids. Their inventive outfits, like Cher’s striped bellbottoms, became the hottest trend in fashion fueled by the duo’s TV appearances. Sonny becames adroit at penning hit songs including “The Beat Goes On.” He learned the skill from Spector. The couple went mainstream with their signature TV show that became a huge hit – mainstream America loved the couple silly banter and Cher’s sultry voice. Their popularity was such that after the duo broke up and divorced the TV series was brought back by popular demand – this time they bickered instead of cooed with each other, and the dialogue was even more entertaining. Sonny went on the get elected to Congress; Cher continued to host her own show before branching out into acting. She was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Silkwood, which also earned her a Golden Globe award. She earned rave reviews in Mask. She struck Oscar gold in 1987 for Best Actress in Moonstruck. Whether in the studio, on the stage, or on the screen, Cher constantly reinvents herself. Cher is one of a handful of artists who have won an Oscar, Emmy, and Golden Globe. She has sold 150 million albums and is the only artist to ever have at least one Number One single on the charts in six consecutive decades. In 1998 the single of her 22 nd album, “Believe,” became not only the biggest hit in Cher’s career, but one of the most popular songs ever recorded. It became Number One in every country in the world where it was released, won a Grammy, and sold more records in the United Kingdom that any single ever performed by a female. Cher became the oldest female to ever land in the Number One spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. Cher will devote much of her time in the coming year to campaigning for Hillary Clinton, she recently announced.

Ahead Of The Curve With Larry Kane By Kitty Merrill
Independent/Larry Kane & Kitty Merrill
He built his first house when he was just 17 years old. “And it’s still standing,” said Larry Kane with a grin. Designing and building a house while still in high school was impressive, but Kane was already a veteran builder by then. His mother Nancy designed their home in Springs and his father Jerry, a school teacher, built it. At the tender age of 11, Larry Kane was introduced to the construction industry, and he’s never looked back. A graduate of Sayville High School, Kane studied architecture at Rensselaer. He moved to East Hampton in 1988 and noted, “Every house I’ve ever built has been in East Hampton.” That’s more than 100 homes, but there are no cookie cutters here. Matching the house design to the location is a key Kane characteristic. “I like to be site specific. You don’t just plop the same house down from the village to the farm fields to the oceanfront.” His homes are best described as residences between 3500 and 4000 square feet, with an updated traditional style. they're are known for their “big, fancy basements,” Kane’s wife, Luisa, explained. The basements boast large windows to let natural light in, and often feature huge family rooms, wine cellars, and even home theaters with big screens and lounge chairs. When it comes to architectural and design trends, “He’s always been just a little ahead of the curve,” Luisa opined. Kane believes some people are moving towards smaller spaces that still feature top of the line appointments. Case in point: Kane recently sold a 1900 square foot house on an East Hampton Village lane to a family moving down from a 6000 square foot mansion. “They didn’t want to maintain it anymore.” But they didn’t want to lose the amenities, either. A sensational kitchen benefits from every high-
end appliance you can imagine, and is marked by a huge sliding glass door that opens onto a screened-in porch (with a fireplace for chilly nights). Another giant glass door in the living room opens onto the back patio and pool. Each room boasts unique accents, like Kane’s signature chandeliers and light fixtures. “You can have a spectacular kitchen in a smaller house. Smaller always meant cheaper, but it doesn’t have to be,” the builder said. Visitors walking in to the formal entrance see an open vista, as if the rooms have just three walls. With fireplaces, luxurious bathrooms and classic stonework by the pool, “Nothing is less expensive, it’s just smaller . . . This was designed to look like a cottage, but you’re amazed by what’s inside.” While people may downsize to eliminate the hassle of never-ending maintenance, the expectation from foundation to the roof to the landscaping, is high. And Kane delivers. One of his larger homes located adjacent to farm fields in the village employs the same visual effect as the village “cottage.” Visitors view a bucolic expanse of nature from just about every room of the house, thanks to the giant sliders. Though the square footage measures in the thousands, “People want cleaner, simpler lines and more of a beach house feel.” Kane enjoys the contrast of creating a home that “looks like a cute little traditional house from the street, but inside it’s a modern beach house.” With a trend moving towards simpler lines and low maintenance designs, Kane uses a lot of neutral colors in his houses. He learned “a lot about grey” building a house for a renowned fashion designer. He learned even more about environmentally sound construction building celebrity chef Bobby Flay’s home in Amagansett. It was one of the first GOLD LEEDS-certified residences in East
Hampton Town. To attain GOLD LEEDS certification, every aspect of the construction process must be clean, with materials locally-sourced and 90 percent of construction waste recycled.
Figuring out a design, and seeing his vision come to fruition are both rewarding aspects of the profession, Kane acknowledged. But his favorite part? It’s being on the jobsite . . . just like when he was a little boy.

From Tribeca To East Hampton
By Rick Murphy
A savvy, retired AIG executive transformed a nondescript 50s ranch in East Hampton into a gorgeous Tribeca-like space after he bought the Miller Lane property less than four years ago. “I used the original footprint and left the four walls. I designed it myself,” recalled John Hollis McCue. “We used top of the line everything.” Jane Robinson, of Hampton Homes, who had built a house he owned in Northwest Woods in 1995, handled the extensive renovation. New heating, and plumbing systems were installed. McCue turned the three bedroom, one bath original into two bedrooms and two baths. He raised the ceilings, adorning them with pickled pine planks. Sliding mahogany panels on the exterior are more than a design element. “They are actually functional,” McCue said. “They provide privacy and safety.” A huge two-level outdoor sitting area sits in one side yard: a hot tub and innovative outdoor shower —
using the same mahogany panel design, is on the other. In fact, the shower appears to be a panel, set flush to the exterior of the house. But it swings out on wheels. “It forms a perfect triangle to provide total privacy,” the owner pointed out. “I designed a cardboard model first because the builder didn’t quite get what I wanted.” Every inch of the interior is used creatively: A dining room sitting bench disguises a storage area: a couch in the second bedroom gives way to a Murphy bed. In the living room, a lateral flame fireplace by Design Within Reach “throws a lot of heat but doesn’t require ventilation,” McCue said. “I love it.” The landscape, designed by Curtis Eaves of iGreen, Inc., is green and lush. "Everything he does is just perfect,” said Janice Hoagland, who watches the house and also serves as McCue’s personal trainer. “He likes everything just right.” The newly designed contemporary feels bigger than its 975 square-feet, which is situated
on about one-third of an acre. Alas, with homes in Aspen, Florida and Sarasota, McCue has decided to part with his little
treasure. “It was an agonizing decision,” he said. Jim Caldarone Jr. and Eaves of Saunders are handling the sale.

Every Detail Done -- Calmly
By Kitty Merrill
Finished by Memorial Day. That’s a phrase that strikes fear in the hearts of many a builder, contractor, tradesman, or even homeowner. With just days to go before the big holiday, plenty of people in the construction trade are scurrying around, frantic to finish their jobs in time for the start of the season. Not Robin Prager. She’s calm, mellow even, despite a massive undertaking underway, and deadlines that could seem crushing to less experienced -- and did we mention mellow? -- project managers. Wo r k i n g f o r E a s t E n d homeowners and city corporations, Prager prides herself on the fact that, “I get them in.â€? A career in PR and communications evolved about 15 years ago into the creation of her company, Every Detail Done. “I started as far back as the dot com era,â€? she said, sitting serenely on the couch in her Settlers Landing house, as her cell buzzed. People were very free with their money back then, then Prager watched the crash and now she’s watching “the resurrection.â€? With a reputation of moving mountains on time and on budget, she was never at a loss for work, even during the lean years. Just before she moved out east, Prager was designing office space, “And a corporate client said, ‘I have a home out in Southampton, can you help me out?’ That’s usually how I get my clients.â€? She’s worked with executives from Carolina Herrera, Elle DĂŠcor, New York Cares and Donna Karan. “Whether I’m doing corporate or residential, my premise is the
same,� she explained. “Everyone is interested in keeping on budget, getting in on time with limited headaches. Whether they’re spending two dollars or two million, everybody wants the same thing.� “I’ve been called the gatekeeper,� Prager revealed. In addition to overseeing the earliest elements of a project, such as design, Prager takes the job all the way to the end, moving and arranging furniture in a new house, even making sure the homeowner’s cable is hooked up. Style wise, Prager favors modern/contemporary designs. But, she said, “My signature isn’t really the style, it’s more the comfort and stability I provide. People can get divorced over renovations, but during a hectic time, I put everyone at ease.� She also quotes a fee at the beginning of the job, and never changes it. Prager is currently building a 35,000 square foot studio in Brooklyn for famed artist Hunt Slonem, transforming a warehouse located right on the water in Sunset Park. She was called in after a frantic message from his realtor who said there would be a million dollar penalty if they didn’t leave his Manhattan studio and move to the new space by June. ‘Help!’ was the message. “We met in January. We got the permits in March and I will have him in.� It was a full “gut reno of an old, old space� Prager explained. All the electric and plumbing was replaced and huge walls built to accommodate over a thousand pieces of art, plus sculpture, furniture and 100 exotic birds. This, with a filmmaker shooting a documentary about Slonem and the studio and working through the night over the course of several weeks. “I’ll have two weeks to move him in,� Prager explained sedately. She doesn’t merely design and build, she wraps and packs and transports and sets up. “You walk in ready to go to work or ready to have a dinner party.� Concurrently, Prager is working on a home in Cornwall, New York. “I’ll have them in by Memorial Day,� she predicted.

Laying (And Planting) The Land By Emily Toy
As the summer months draw nearer, and as we begin spending more time, dare I say it, outside, homeowners, and renters for that matter, are looking to local nurseries, tree farms, flower shops, and home goods stores to see what new landscaping trends are happening for this spring. And as people ready themselves for the warmer months ahead, their respective gardens, patios, and yards may be in need of a facelift, sure to create an outdoor oasis for all to enjoy. For this season, the ideas of colorful shrubs, tall privacy trees, and blending landscape patio pool designs really stand out to most local landscaping centers. According to a blog from Creative Design Landscaping in Southampton (631-488-0064), there are several landscaping trends set to please any green thumb’s horticultural desires. First off, when mapping out your garden, it’s recommended to be sure to use as many plants native to the area as possible. This, most likely, will be cheaper and more likely to
result in a garden that flourishes with minimal efforts. “They’ll grow well, they’ll look good, and with no special attention,” the blog said. The Southamptonbased garden center recommends trying wild columbine, cranberry bush and pink turtlehead. Summerhill Landscape in Sag Harbor (631-725-8399) promotes the comparison of hardscapes vs. softscapes when planning out how to landscape your space. Hardscape focuses on walkways, stonework, fixtures and any hardware equipment that may be incorporated, while softscape focuses on decorative plantings, ornamental grass and trees, spring bulb displays, and fruits, vegetables and herbs. Got a beachfront property? No problem. The team at Summerhill is well-versed in habitat restoration, which revitalizes the natural habitat through re-vegetation while at the same time complying with local municipality requirements. Those services also stretch into properties either on or bordering wetlands, marshes, woodlands, and swamps.
For those of you in a more landlocked situation, Japanese holly and boxwoods are popular this year for plantings used for privacy purposes. They’re hearty and create a nice, solid hedge, Creative Design said. Blending edibles and ornamental plantings together is another recommendation from several local landscaping and gardening hubs. “The double duty gardens offer a bountiful har vest of fruit, vegetables and herbs while providing intriguing, energized beds,” said an employee from Best View Landscaping in East Hampton (631-513-9924). Over the past couple years, there has been a huge surge in installing water features in outdoor spaces. And not just pools. Everything from fountains, to waterfalls, Jacuzzi’s, hot tubs, garden ponds and water wells.
“Living outside the walls of your home is a big part of life in the Hamptons and on the North Fork,” according to the folks at Pembrooke Fine Landscapes in Southampton (631-909-2558). “The proper design and installation of an outdoor kitchen is an essential component of luxurious outdoor living.” The luxury landscaping company’s outdoor kitchen often include Viking/Wolf/DCS grills, refrigerators, ice makers, a double sink, hot and cold running water, custom counter tops, storage space and stone work that integrates the cooking with the scenery of your backyard, pool, and patio. And where to go to furnish your lovely new outdoor digs? Look no further than Hildreth’s Home Goods. There’s Hildreth’s Home East (East Hampton, 631-3298800) and Hildreth’s Home Goods (Southampton, 631-283-2300). Both locales offer specials on outdoor furnishings with everything from tables, chairs, umbrellas, chaise lounges, benches, cushions, and accessories.

Home Goods Opens Boasting a staggering palette of color and texture, the interior of the new Home Goods store in Wainscott is visually arresting. This ain’t your upisland establishment. And that’s no surprise. According to spokesperson Robyn Arvedon, the company selects merchandise with an eye toward the store’s locale. So, a beachy town gets beachy items to match its feel. During a media tour prior to the soft opening on Friday (the grand opening was Sunday) Arvedon led members of the press through the expansive store. It’s packed to the rafters with everything from sheets and towels to room-sized rugs ($299, and they deliver) to every kind of kitchen and dining gadget you can imagine. Lighting and wall art, picture frames and furniture comprise other segments of Home Goods’ offerings. High-end designer items are available, thanks to the efforts of over 60 buyers who are on the market every day of the year. Buyers know the factories and how to get merchandise at a great price. They buy “o p p o r t u n i s t i c a l l y ” a n d adhere to the “treasure hunt” philosophy, meaning when a store features unique artisan finds, they only buy a few and place them at certain locales. “If you like something, you better pick it up,” said interior designer Austin Handler. It might be gone the next day. The company invited Jennifer Mabley and Austin Handler of Mabley Handler Interior Design to curate a display showcasing Home Goods’ most Hampton-esque items. There are plenty to choose from, with chic coastal artwork, decorative accessories and pottery, and tons of plush towels to fill area pool houses. Not looking to outfit an eight bedroom abode? Troll the accessories aisles and give your home an affordable, quick, ontrend update. K.M.

Broadway Reporting From
By Isa Goldberg
Not Dead Pan Laura Michelle Kelly, the Olivier Award-winning Mary Poppins, and a truly fanciful nanny, returns to Broadway, now as the love interest of J.M. Barrie (Matthew Morrison) in the new musical Finding Neverland at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. It’s a lovely paring. Morrison, fraught by a stultifying society, but determined, matches Kelly’s (Sylvia’s) courage. A young mother with consumption, she leaves her small children behind, but as we learn in the finale, “she will always be with them.” With a book by James Graham, music and lyrics by Gary Barlow and Eliot Kennedy, Neverland is a sentimental journey, reuniting us with the characters of “Peter Pan,” as we watch Barrie write a different kind of story, unlike the dramas for which he had become popular. That inspiration he discovers in Sylvia and her boys. This is their story of loss and acceptance, abandonment and hope. In a more comedic pose, Kelsey Grammer portrays both Barrie’s producer and Captain Hook. As directed by Diane Paulus, the production has a wonderful buoyancy with inventive quirky choreography by Mia Michaels, and hopelessly juvenile sets (designer, Scott Pask) as though the show were produced by kids. Actually Harvey Weinstein takes principal credit for that, and for reminding us about the meaning of play. Of All Things, Shakespeare When Hamlet becomes Omelet and the Nazis arrive to make war against the Puerto Ricans, we must be at Something Rotten! It’s a silly fest, a musical within a musical, set in Tudor London, where Puritans and Shylocks abound. In keeping with the humor, book by Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell and music and lyrics by Wayne Kirkpatrick and Karey Kirkpatrick, the material is highly derivative, mocking Broadway musicals from A Chorus Line to Les Mis, along with a great deal of Shakespeare’s canon. As you may have gathered, the point of the musical is to put on a show. What else? Trying to save his theater from ruin, Nick Bottom (Brian d’Arcy James) seeks advise about profit from the prophet. In that role Brad Oscar is a ridiculous, albeit hilarious, Nostradamus.
(& Sometimes Off)
Christian Borle plays The Bard, mostly as a roguish British rock star. He’s anything but a gent, and clearly something of a plagiarist. How he gets his material is a plot in and of itself with John Cariani as the younger Bottom brother whose
playwriting apparently doesn’t cut it. Directed and choreographed by Casey Nicholaw, one of the minds behind Book of Mormon, and Spamalot,which it more closely resembles, Rotten is raucously camp and irreverent, and currently at the St. James Theatre.
Pere Lachaise Playwright/per for mer Dael Orlandersmith arrives at the New York Theatre Workshop with a memoir and a eulogy about her mother. Forever displays her magnetically poetic language, her fascination with music, and her scars from growing up in an abusive
May 20, 2015
family. Inspired by the documentary, also entitled Forever, Oldersmith takes us with her to visit the famous inhabitants of the French cemetery, Pere Lachaise. From those intellectual and spiritual ancestors, most importantly Jim Morrison and Richard Wright, she discovers her DNA and its path from her birth by cesarean to growing up with a destructive, alcoholic mother. As is her fashion, Orlandersmith’s solo performance is deeply personal and sensual, guiding us from Harlem to Paris, from death to life, from the artists who inspired her, to her own fractured life.

Independent Dining Brussels Sprout And Crispy Potato Hash With Poached Egg And Hollandaise Ingredients (serves 4) 1 dozen eggs 4 slices of brioche bread (toasted) 1 lemon (juiced) 1tbsp hot sauce 1 tsp Dijon mustard 1 shallot ½ lb clarified butter 2 sweet potatoes (diced) 2 white potatoes (diced) 1 onion (sliced thin) 1/2 lb Brussels sprouts (quartered) salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste 1 tbs white vinegar
Method First in a small saucepan melt the ½ lb of butter on medium heat until the milk solids rise to the top. Skim off the white milk solids to make your clarified butter. Now in a medium size pot, put the diced potatoes into cold water and bring to a boil for two minutes then shut the heat off and let them sit in the hot water for another five min. Strain the potatoes reserving some of the hot water in a small pot for the double boiler you will need to make
your hollandaise. To make the hollandaise you need to separate six of the egg yolks and place them in a metal bowl to be cooked carefully over the double boiler. Yo u w i l l n e e d t o constantly whisk the eggs so that they cook but do not scramble, once the egg yolks start to thicken drizzle in a little bit of the clarified butter. Now that the eggs are cooked and thickened up place the shallot, mustard, hot sauce, salt, pepper and lemon juice in a blender cup, turn it high then add the egg and slowly drizzle in the clarified butter until you have a nice thick and creamy hollandaise. In a large saute pan you will saute all the ingredients for the hash. Start with a very hot pan and the remainder of the clarified butter then add the onions and potatoes once they get some color add the Brussels sprouts, salt, and pepper. After sautéing for about 10 minutes reduce the heat to
a simmer and add a bit of water, then cover the pot and stir every couple minutes or so. To poach our eggs we need to bring a small pot of water to just under a boil and add the white vinegar. Then carefully crack four eggs into the water and let them cook for five minutes. While the eggs are cooking spoon equal amounts of hash into 4 bowls. Place the brioche toast on top and then finish each with a poached egg and a spoon full of hollandaise sauce.
