Broadway Gets a Liff
Spencer Liff, choreographer of the new Broadway musical, “Head Over Heels,” in which Elizabethans groove to 1980s rock songs by The Go-Go’s, promises movement that hasn’t been seen in New York before, at least not on the Broadway stage. “It’s definitely closer to an L.A. style of pop jazz,” he says, “influenced by commercial dance and my many years choreographing ‘So You think You Can Dance’ on TV.” In the opening number, “We Got the Beat” (below), the actors “make their own beat, using their arms and legs. As a choreographer, I find myself drawn to everything that makes a noise, like the guitar lines and drums in a song. So, there’s a lot of snapping! The choreo has a fabulous, queer edge to it.” | Hudson Theatre, 139-141 W. 44th St., 855.801.5876
Sholem Aleichem wrote the stories on which the Broadway musical “Fiddler on the Roof” is based in Yiddish, so why not a Yiddishlanguage version of the 1964 show? The time has finally come, thanks to the National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene’s U.S. premiere of Shraga Friedman’s adaptation, performed in Yiddish with English and Russian supertitles.

4 IF DUMPLINGS ARE YOUR THING, then you need to pay a visit to RedFarm (529 Hudson St., 212.792.9700). The relaxed resto, filled to the brim with potted plants, offers choices like pan-fried lamb dumplings and crunchy vegetable and peanut dumplings. Add a dish of noodles (long-life noodles with chanterelles and shiitakes), and you will know why there is often a wait for a table (reservations for parties of 8 to 20 only). Gem (116 Forsythe St., no phone, gem-nyc.com), a sliver of a space (16 seats), is as close as you can get to a dinner party in a restaurant. Guests are first offered champagne in the café-byday, cocktails-at-night area, before proceeding to the dining room for family-style platters of pasta, meat and appetizers,

like Ritz Crackers with foie gras. Steak houses are typically dark, testosterone-fueled affairs; T-Bar Steak & Lounge (1278 Third Ave., 212.772.0404) was a refreshing change. Gargantan orange vases were filled with Christmas ball ornaments, and lime green banquettes made for comfy seating. Steaks did not disappoint: I favored the aged New York strip with a side of mascarpone spinach. Oh, what fun I had at the new Boqueria (260 W. 40th St., 646.233.4055)! I loved everything about the boisterous spot, from the elevated booths to the noisy crowd at the marbletopped bar. A menu of tapas offered classics (blistered shishito peppers), meat, seafood and charcuterie options. And that it was a quick walk to my show made it all the sweeter.

My first thought, walking into Ocean Prime was, “what a great locale for an out-of-towner:” the restaurant is walking distance to Broadway, Radio City Music Hall and Central Park. I also felt like I just walked aboard a luxurious ocean liner. A cavernous bilevel space is softened by dramatic, modern ceiling lights, white tableclothes, large vases of white flowers and an elegant staircase. Menus for kids are sensitively listed as “young adults,” and you can even have menus printed out in one of several languages, if you request that on your online reservation. A Kansas City strip was sublime, as was the goat cheese ravioli (above). And, as appealing as the dining room is, try to get a table on Pondicheri the patio—if weather permits. 123 W. 52nd St., 212.956.1404 INNEWYORK.COM | JULY 2018 | IN NEW YORK

FASCINATING ART DISPLAYS by Francis Lewis
(1) MODERNIST MASTER Drawing entirely from its permanent collection, the Museum of Modern Art has organized a retrospective of 11 sculptures by Constantin Brancusi (1876–1957), including “Fish” from 1930, an abstract evocation of the aquatic animal in blue-gray marble, streamlined and effortlessly swimming on a white marble and limestone pedestal. | 11 W. 53rd St., 212.708.9400, July 22, 2018–February 2019 (2) PARADOXICAL ART When M.C. Escher, the enigmatic Dutch artist (1898–1972), peels a piece of fruit or a vegetable, the rind becomes a face in a haunting wood engraving. What can it mean?

IDINA’S
NEW VOICE
THE STAR OF “WICKED” AND VOICE OF “FROZEN” TAKES TO THE CITY STAGE AGAIN.
By Brian Scott Lipton 18
IN NEW YORK | JULY 2018 | INNEWYORK.COM
“THERE IS A RELIEF IN NOT WAKING UP EVERY DAY and having to test whether I can hit a high note,” Idina Menzel says with a laugh, one of the many changes the award-winning, 47-year-old actress/singer is currently experiencing in her life. Last year, the Syosset, New York-born Menzel married Aaron Lohr, an actor whom she met over 15 years ago on the film set of “Rent,” and they are raising Menzel’s 8-year-old son, Walker, (by first husband Taye Diggs), in Los Angeles. Menzel first captured the imagination of New York theatergoers in 1996 with her powerful performance in the Broadway musical “Rent.” Seven years later, she was catapulted to fame as Elphaba, the green-skinned woman-turned-wicked-witch in “Wicked” at the Gershwin Theatre. Since then, she has bounced back and forth between recording (releasing several albums), television (“Private Practice,” “Glee”) and as the voice of Snow Queen Elsa in the 2013 animated Disney megahit, “Frozen.” Menzel has recently returned to New York for her first straight play, Joshua Harmon’s provocative “Skintight,” at the Roundabout’s Laura Pels Theatre. In this bracing work, Menzel plays Jodi, an uptight, middle-aged lawyer who surprises (unhappily) her super-famous fashion-designer father, Elliot, for his 70th birthday. The result is a long, often painful weekend dealing with him; his twentysomething gay lover (and possible former porn star), Trey; her own unhappy 20-year-old gay son, Benjamin; along with her own insecurities and personal misery. I spoke with Menzel about the play, why she wanted to do a non-singing role, the challenges of motherhood and the joy of being back onstage in New York City.
moment in your heart every day. Because I was going out of town during rehearsals and Walker was in LA, you can be sure that I left the right list of medicines, his school schedule, everything he needed. It’s so important to me that I don’t mess up.
What attracted you to the play and the role of Jodi?
Is there a freedom for you in taking on a non-singing role?
For me, at this point, accepting any job is about working with people who can teach me and challenge me no matter what, and I know that’s true of both Joshua and Daniel Aukin, our director. I love pieces that are original and new, and I was blown away by the role. Jodi is exploring a lot of issues I do, on a dayto-day basis, such as coming to terms with aging and fighting to keep one’s relevance in this world.
My singing roles have really connected with so many people and brought me so much love. But it is important to me to stretch myself as an actress, in part, because I think there is a danger of becoming pigeonholed. And I wonder sometimes if I don’t get more dramatic roles because of my own insecurities. I think I can come off as not exciting enough when I am just acting, or I lose my shine when I am not singing. But I know I have more to give than just a great belt!
Did you get some of that attitude from your own parents?
Yes, my parents were definitely protective of me. My mom said nobody can mess with her children, and she meant it! You talked about worrying about aging, your clothes and appearance. Has that rubbed off on Walker?
Actually, he’s the one who tells me not to worry about my looks. So I try not to talk about that around him. I know that not only do I want to be a good role model for him, but I want him to see me as a confident, well-adjusted mom. My mother was stunning, but no matter how great she looked, she always talked about her weight. And so, unfortunately, that became an example for me. Speaking of Walker, is he showing signs of following you and Taye into the business?
Walker is showing some signs of being a performer, but I also think he spends more time trying to fight it than follow it. He is taking drum lessons now, and he really loves hard rock. I hear him sing in the house, and he can pick up any song and do it in tune, but whenever he hears me coming, he stops. Unlike other kids I know, he won’t do shows in the living room, not even just for me.

Is that what you think the play is about?
It’s about many things. First, I think it reminds us to be honest about what we need to be loved, whether that be physical or emotional. It also talks about the universal need for family and the need not to be lonely. And we also need to take stock of the amount of time and energy we spend on our appearance, and not be so hard on ourselves. In the end, we need to take the time to love, rather than spend hours making ourselves look better. The play is set in the fashion world. Any connections there?
No. I have never gone to a fashion week, though I respect it. For awards shows, I have a stylist whom I trust, because I have this anxiety about what to wear. In a way, fashion scares me.
How do you think your fan base will react to this play? It’s a long way from “Wicked” [for which Menzel won the Tony Award as Best Actress in a Musical] or “Frozen”?
I have the coolest fan base; they go with me no matter what I am doing. Plus, the theater audience grew up with me; it’s been over 20 years since I did “Rent” and about 15 years since “Wicked.” So, I am sure they’ll be there. In fact, one of the things I’m proudest about in my career is that I continuously evolve with my audience, and they with me. You’re performing a couple of blocks from the Broadway musical “Frozen.” To many people, you are the definitive Elsa. How does being so close to the show make you feel?
One thing that comes through in the play is Jodi’s sometimes overbearing maternal nature. Can you relate to that?
When you’re pregnant, they say your life will change, but they don’t tell you, for the rest of your life, you will have an aching
I think it’s great! “Frozen” changed my life, and I will always be part of this big, loving Disney family. In fact, I will be playing Elsa again in the movie “Frozen 2,” once they find time to write it! IN NEW YORK | JULY 2018 | INNEWYORK.COM

VISITING ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST populated cities, it might be hard to appreciate the beauty of the metropolis as you make your way through the sea of humanity on our streets, buses and subways. Sometimes you have to rise above it all, literally. The city of diverse structures has atop many of its buildings spectacular vistas that sometimes come with a cocktail and sometimes with a dollop of art.

Culture
The Metropolitan Museum of Art (1000 Fifth Ave., 212.535.7710) has a wealth of treasures inside its walls, but none like what you will find on its Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden. Art installations, like the current “The Roof Garden Commission: Huma Bhabha, We Come in Peace,” have the added beauty of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline as a backdrop. Exhibitions have been a part of the Met’s rooftop since it opened to the public in 1987. You can also take a moment to savor all that envelops you with a cocktail from The Cantor Roof Garden Bar.
Views
A few top spots give that overarching view of the Big Apple. Here, it’s not just about the destination, but the journey to the top as well. One World Observatory (One World Trade Center, 285 Fulton St., 212.602.4000) sits at the top of the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere. In the 47 seconds it takes to rise 102 stories, video screens in the elevator construct a Manhattan skyline from the 1500s to today. Once at the top, you can head down a floor for dining and drinks or two floors below for the gift shop and souvenir photos. The elevator ride down provides an aerial view of One World Trade Center. If you have never been, you can be overcome with a sense of awe when you first step into the Empire State Building (350 Fifth Ave., 212.736.3100), which has been featured in dozens of movies and television shows, and is arguably the world’s most famous building (and a national historic landmark). Head to the Main Deck on the 86th floor: The openair observation deck encircles the spire, allowing a 360-degree view of the city, the Statue of Liberty and more. Download the free Observatory Experience app on the spot (with free Wi-Fi), which informs every view. The Top Deck on the 102nd floor reveals views for up to 80 miles away. The “Dare to Dream” exhibit, chronicling the building’s history, is housed on the 80th floor. See the lush expanse of Manhattan’s green space with Central Park stretching out below Top of the Rock (30 Rockefeller Plz., 877.692.7625). The open-air roof deck on the 70th floor of Rockefeller Center is glass-free and perfect for photo ops of Midtown and Downtown skyscrapers like the Chrysler Building. Inside, there are unobstructed views on the 67th and 69th floors; the
Swarovski-made Radiance Wall is worth a stop, as is the Joie Chandelier made with 14,000 crystals.
Bars
The third-floor Rooftop of The DL (95 Delancey St., 212.228.0909) has one of the city’s largest retractable roofs, making the outdoor space suitable for year-round use. Its draw is views of the Williamsburg Bridge and Lower East Side skyline. The 5,000-square-foot space is also perfect for enjoying a cocktail and listening to Top 40, pop, house and R&B music by well-known DJs. Head to 230 Fifth Rooftop Bar (230 Fifth Ave., 212.725.4300), home of the city’s largest rooftop garden. Grab a seat on a wooden bench or at a table and enjoy a drink while taking in the Empire State Building to the north. Large umbrellas provide shade or keep the rain off your head while 1980s and 1990s music sets the tone on the weekends. Go inside and down the stairs to the enclosed penthouse lounge for more of the same. The 14th floor of the Library Hotel is home to Bookmarks Lounge (299 Madison Ave., 212.983.4500). Relax in a plush indoor setting or take literature-inspired cocktails (The Pulitzer, F. Scotch Fitzgerald) outside for city views from the wraparound terrace. Atop the luxurious Refinery Hotel, the Refinery Rooftop (63 W. 38th St., 646.664.0372) is a casual, chic spot for cocktails and snacking while enjoying the view of the city’s skyscrapers. The roof of the former hat factory is embellished with an elegant brick and wood setting, sofas, individual tables and long benches on which to enjoy signature handcrafted cocktails. A variety of music keeps the joint jumping after 10 pm Friday and Saturday nights for the 21-and-over crowd. Monarch Rooftop Bar & Indoor Lounge (71 W. 35th St., 212.630.9993) on the 18th floor of the Courtyard by Marriott serves up beautifully plated food and cocktails, in addition to the views of Midtown Manhattan. You can get outside through sliding floor-to-ceiling glass doors and get a drink at the patio bar, but the temptation may be to stay inside on a plush couch among vintage bricks and custom terrazzo tiles. The 10,000-square-foot space that is the Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge (485 Seventh Ave., 212.268.0188) is an adult “amusement park” on the 18th floor. Sit at one of the carousel’s rotating tables and observe the topiary animals in suggestive positions and Foreplay, a miniature putt-putt golf course with oversize animals posed at their come-hither best. The Skylark’s (200 W. 39th St., 212.257.4577) rooftop terrace on the 30th floor finds Times Square to the north, Midtown to the east and the Hudson River to the west among its breathtaking vistas. The terrace is just one portion of the classy spaces that define the lounge’s multiple levels. There is also the Living Room, the Skylark Room and the Pool Room, which features a custom pool table that converts into a full dining table. IN NEW YORK | JULY 2018 | INNEWYORK.COM

t s ju ls l i r th Be they preschool or high school, kids want action. For them, a day at the Metropolitan Museum of Art can’t compare with flying above it. Zipping around New York Harbor in a speedboat is more fun than sitting in Fifth Avenue traffic. And when it comes to upward trajectory, rock and tree-climbing beat high-rise elevators every time. For family vacationers with daring, active kids, here is a sampling of destinations that should fill their need for adventure in the concrete jungle.
HELICOPTER TOURING Few man-made views are more breathtaking than a city skyline from above. For even more drama, try the ride at night. Viator’s VIP Helicopter Flight and Statue of Liberty Cruise offer both day and evening trips, picking you up at Pier 6 in Lower Manhattan and flying you over a dozen or so sights that include the Brooklyn Bridge, the Empire State Building, the World Trade Center and Central Park. After the ride in the sky, you take to the sea with a one-hour cruise along the New York Harbor. The grown-ups can opt for a champagne or mimosa toast when the boat passes Lady Liberty. Wings Air, which operates from nearby Westchester County Airport in White Plains, New York—roughly 45 minutes from Manhattan by car or cab—offers tours seven days a week over New York City (weather permitting), personally narrated by its pilots. (Cool side note: Wings Air provides services for filming movies over

NYC as well.) Wyvern, a global aviation safety auditing firm, recognizes the company.
ROCK CLIMBING Who needs the cliffs of Hawaii to scale when there are The Cliffs of LIC right here in Long Island City, Queens (a Harlem branch will be opening sometime in 2018). Participants receive orientation, learning the different types of climbs before starting. Staff members also assist first-time climbers with a 90-minute beginner class (you must be 14 years old or older), after which your climber can get you started scaling a wall. The Cliffs feature 127 top-rope stations ranging from 30 to 45 feet tall and a bouldering section with 16-foot-high walls. Each wall varies in difficulty, and the “routes” set on the walls determine a specific level of difficulty. You can purchase a one-day pass, and rent climbing shoes, harness and chalk bag.

Another option is Chelsea Piers Sports Center at Manhattan’s Pier 60, which features one of the most challenging rock walls in the country. There are over 11,000 square feet of sculpted, three-dimensional climbing surfaces between the main wall, bouldering wall and bouldering cave. Lessons are available for both novices and experts, and all will be challenged by continually changing routes. Also worth checking out is Brooklyn Boulders in Gowanus, Brooklyn. The facility features 22,000 square feet of state-of-the-art walls and offers a 45-minute intro climbing class to nonmembers. All first-time visitors must sign a waiver and take a facility orientation. Head to Governors Island for a “pop-up” amusement park that features a Flywire Zipline, with soaring views of the city and the Statue of Liberty from a 35-foot peak, and where adventurers get to zip down a 300-foot long parallel cable. At the Climbing Challenge, scale one of three 25-foot walls with a self-guiding belay system. A maze challenge spans some 3,600 feet for tamer members of your party, who they can test their problem-solving skills. You can also swing like a modern-day Tarzan at the Bronx Zoo’s Treetop Adventure, which features seven aerial climbing courses and a zip line over the Bronx River. Or if you are more of a tree-climber, try one of the zoo’s climbing-rope trails, with seven different courses ranging from beginner to advanced. Expert rangers are always around to ensure your safety.

CYCLONE WHOOSHING What is New York’s wildest ride that doesn’t take place in a taxicab? The Cyclone, which first opened in 1927, remains one of the country’s most exhilarating journeys, covering 3,000 feet of track in under two minutes. Housed in Coney Island’s Luna Park, the mother of American roller coasters is an amusement park icon which visitors from around the world come to test their bravery. Only the most courageous will want the front seat, as the Cyclone has 12 drops and 27 elevation changes. The anticipation and suspense heighten as the cars tantalizingly elevate to panoramic heights. Suddenly … whoosh! A 60-degree plunge on an 85-foot drop accelerates up to speeds of 60 mph as the screams can be heard by sunbathers on the beach.
SPEEDBOAT SIGHTSEEING Welcome to tourism done fast. The Beast, a 70-foot speedboat, offers a 30-minute sightseeing tour of Manhattan, leaving from Pier 83. (A similar option is The Shark, which departs from Pier 16 at South Street Seaport.) The Beast flies down the Hudson River at up to 45 mph. With music rocking, and a captain and crew livening up the mood, the trip provides panoramic views of Midtown and Lower Manhattan while a guide points out features and landmarks. Your kids are sure to love the disclaimers on the website that will get them psyched for the experience: “You’ll get wet! It’s loud! It’s extreme!” Of course it is. It’s New York!

About Buses THE GOOD: If you are looking to get a view of NYC street life and are not in a rush, buses are a great way to travel. THE BAD: Traffic is highly unpredictable, and a bus ride can wind up taking much longer than anticipated. THE FACTS: There are approximately 5,900 air-conditioned buses on over 300 routes. Look for signposts marked with a bus emblem and route number. Most buses operate btw 5 am and 2 am; some buses run 24 hours a day. For Select Bus Service on First and Second aves. (btw South Ferry & E. 126th St.), as well as 34th St. (from the FDR Dr. to the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center), pay your fare prior to boarding and enter through any of three doors.
About Subways THE GOOD: The fastest, cheapest and most reliable way around town. THE BAD: Subways can get packed, sardine-style, during rush hours, can be hot in the summer and might have a “colorful character� or two. THE FACTS: There are 24 subway lines designated by either a route number or letter, serving 469 stations. Round-theclock, air-conditioned service is provided seven days a week. Subways run every 2-5 mins. during rush hours, 10-15 mins. during the day and about every 20 mins. btw midnight and 5 am. Stops are clearly posted and subway maps are on view at stations and in every car.
Cost of Ride The cost of a subway and bus trip can vary, from $3 for a single fare to $2.75 if you are buying more than one ride (in which case, various discounts are available). For buses (if you are not using a MetroCard), you need exact change (no bills or pennies). You can purchase MetroCards at subway station booths, vending machines, train terminals and select stores throughout NYC. Pay for Select Bus Service with a MetroCard or coins (exact change only) at fare collection machines at designated bus stops. For assistance, call 718.330.1234, or log onto web.mta.info.
Getting Around
The maps indicate MTA bus and subway routes. Each line is in a different color.

“WOW—IT’S INCREDIBLE.” THE HUFFINGTON POST
“THIS IS AMAZING.”
For the first time ever, you can explore the great Pacific waters and its wondrous creatures without leaving the island of Manhattan, in an extraordinary face-to-face experience that takes you on a journey you’ve never imagined. Dive into an undiscovered world teeming with life—from great white sharks and humpback whales, to Humboldt squids and sea lions. The unexpected lurks around every corner. You may never want to come up for air. It’s not a movie. It’s not virtual reality. We’re taking you out of your seats and into the sea.
