Broadway Reporting From

(& Sometimes Off)

By Isa Goldberg

Bluegrass isn’t especially Broadway kind of music, but it’s gotten a comeback in three popular new shows, Southern Comfort, Robber Bridegroom and Bright Star, currently playing at The Cort on Broadway. The latter very engrossing surprisingly so! The brainchild of Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, it’s a sober tale, filled with sadness and rounded by romance and self-discovery.

Set simultaneously in the mid 1920s and 1940s, the plot is admittedly a bit creaky. Stories of unwed mothers are not de rigueur, nor are such overly romantic tales as those that end in a double marriage. But feel good musicals, are still the fodder of Broadway, to wit: She Loves Me. In Bright Star we also discover incorrigible theatrical subtleties that are genuinely endearing.

To that end, Carmen Cusack (Alice Murphy) makes an edgy Broadway debut as the unwed mother who becomes a famous book editor. With an older character who is so distinctively different from the younger one, it’s as if the actor were playing her double.

Fortunately, Murphy is the breath of fresh air that turns a tale of backward social mores in the backwoods of North Carolina, into a refreshing musical foray. Dee Hoty, a seasoned Broadway Baby, plays the role of Alice’s mother with observable sentimentality. In her hands, it’s an iconic role. And as a comedic vamp and library employee, Emily Padgett (Side Show), comes into her own.

Visually, the set design by Eugene Lee is suspiciously simple with only rudimentary set pieces and props.

Still, a wooden barn that doubles as an onstage orchestra pit is a coup.

Similarly, Jane Greenwood’s period costumes amply fulfill our expectations without causing anyone to raise an eyebrow . . . until we are naturally caused to do so. From Martin and Brickell, a tale with a resonant musical reveal awaits you.

Langella Is Magic Reality turns on a dime in The Father at The Manhattan Theatre Club’s, Samuel J. Friedman Theatre. In Florian Zeller’s play, translated by Christopher Hampton, we meet Andre (Frank Langella), among other characters who are either real or figments of his delusional mind.

An aging man who can’t recognize his own daughter and/or imagines her as a ruthless victimizer, Langella reveals the raw and naked world of a man suffering from dementia. Throughout

it all, Langella’s Andre possesses an emotional intelligence, an awareness that things are awry, that make his decline too shocking for him to accept.

Weaving Andre’s delusional threads with objective reality, director Doug Hughes creates a world on stage, that is as believable as its creator. This world, in which we in the audience become immersed, is nearly shatterproof. It’s so difficult to parse out the real from the imagined, that Andre’s delusions become our tentative reality.

Once again, Langella gives an astounding performance and Kathryn Erbe is powerful as his daughter.

Scott Pask’s handsome settings of her upscale apartment contrast rather poorly with the nursing home where Andre winds up, and Catherine Zuber’s costumes are fitting, too. Donald Holder’s lighting design, with blackouts and blinking lights punctuates the action.

Mike Birbiglia - Not to be PoohPoohed Please arrive late for Mike Birbiglia’s Thank God for Jokes, otherwise the people who arrived on time could land as the brunt of his humor. As Birbiglia obligingly notes, “all jokes are offensive to someone.”

A comedian who makes his entrance in baggy jeans, a plaid shirt and average-priced sneakers, Birbiglia plays himself down. Even his political punditry – an introductory remark about Charlie Hebdo, the Parisian satirists who were massacred for their humor – goes down like a soothing glass of beer. Just be glad you’re neither the offender nor the offended.

Speaking quietly and with a scratchy voice, Birbiglia isn’t a comedian to watch for or listen to. He’s just there to be overheard. Reporting on his career as a comedian, the show’s central narrative thread, this unintimidating comedian most excels at making a human connection with his audience.

He’s fuzzy; more of a teddy bear than a satirist, although he achieves that without pointing unnecessary attention to it. He is more of a common guy than a well-honed impersonator.

Playing a multitude of characters, however, in a story about a nut (the edible kind) on an airplane; and another in which he portrays President Obama giving parental advise to him and his wife. That one brings us to the depth of Birbiglia’s brand of toilet humor. Poo!

Navy Beach Reopens

Navy Beach in Montauk will reopen for the 2016 season on Friday at 5 PM. For opening weekend, the restaurant will be serving dinner Friday through Sunday and lunch on Saturday.

Montauk’s favorite beachfront restaurant will kick off its seventh season with signature favorites as well as the addition of new items throughout the menu. Look for several local farms and purveyors to be represented on this season’s menu including Dock to Dish, Balsam Farms, Bhumi Farms and Good Water Farms.

New items include: Montauk Fluke Ceviche with pickled Hampton farm vegetables, home-made hot peppers and Meyer lemon; Short Rib Tartare with nicoise olives, shallot, chives, egg and sesame-ponzu vinaigrette; Provencal Fritto Misto with octopus, clam strips, squid, lemon, herbs, zucchini and anchovy aioli; Bikram Grain Salad with wheat berries, red quinoa, kale, almonds and lemon citronette; Catalan Suquet with monkfish, squid, shrimp, clams, saffron, almonds, cava, sofrito and parsley; and Fire Roasted Sea Scallops with chorizo, dates, double smoked bacon and spiced piquillo tomato sauce.

Additional seasonal items will be added as market-based specials.

Over the last six seasons, the restaurant has become a go-to place for its rosé wine list, and as a result, the restaurant will continue to expand upon its increasingly popular offerings this season, with over 25 bottles on the 2016 list. This year’s list will include selections from Corsica, Sardinia, La Rioja, Sicily and of course the French regions of Loire, Provence, Bandol, Rhone, Burgundy and Champagne, while also exploring additional selections from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, New Zealand and the USA. New to the popular cocktail menu will be a focus on fizzy drinks over ice, a section called Spritzers, which will feature several new renditions of lower calorie cocktails. Some of the new offerings will include: Blood Orange Piscine with vodka, champagne rosé, fresh blood orange, sparkling water and mint served on the rocks in a wine glass; Cucumber

Frizz with Reposado tequila, cucumber, agave, lime, and sparkling water on the rocks in a highball with a smoked celery salt rim; and Rosemary Citrus Spritz with citrus vodka, fresh lemon, sparkling water, and rosemary on the rocks in a wine glass. Look for Olympic specialty cocktails to celebrate the Summer Olympics—this time in Rio, Brazil—and Olympics-viewing in both the bar and dining room from August 5 – August 21.

Fun-filled activities for both locals in the community and seasonal visitors are planned throughout this season. Navy Beach is honored to host its fourth annual fundraiser for the Navy SEAL Foundation (NSF) with a kickoff cocktail party on Saturday, June 18, from 4 to 6 PM. During the 2015 season, the restaurant raised over $25,000 to support the Navy SEAL Foundation and its charitable efforts, bringing their to-date funds raised total to $60,000.

As an increasingly popular special events and weddings venue, Navy Beach continues to host private events, rehearsal dinners and wedding ceremonies and receptions throughout the season. Be sure to check the calendar online at www.navybeach. com or call ahead for closures due to private parties.
