THEATER NEWS by Francis Lewis
Tony Fever The Tony Awards are June 10 at Radio City Music Hall. Here’s how to partake in the excitement. • “Stars in the Alley” on June 1 is a
fitting overture to June 10. Among the performers at this free outdoor concert in Shubert Alley at 1 pm are casts from the four musicals nominated for best of 2018: “The Band’s Visit,” “Frozen,” “Mean Girls” and “SpongeBob SquarePants.” • Frank “Fraver” Verlizzo has cre-
ated some of the most memorable posters for Tony Award-winning and nominated shows, including “The Lion King” and “Sweeney Todd.”
“Come From Away” (above) may have lost the Tony Award for Best Musical of 2017 to “Dear Evan Hansen,” but the show is a winner in so many other ways. Now in its second year on Broadway (it officially opened on March 12, 2017, after a month of previews), “Come From Away” is a crowd-pleaser and a huge financial success, having recouped its initial investment of $12 million in less than eight months—no mean feat for a show whose moniker is “the little show that could.” And does. From an unlikely premise for a musical—the immediate aftermath of 9/11 in a small town in Newfoundland, Canada—a classic was born. Had I been a Tony voter, it would have had my vote. | Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, 236 W. 45th St., 212.239.6200
Tony Hopeful Nominated for the 2018 Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical is Katrina Lenk (right). Onstage in “The Band’s Visit,” she sings powerful songs by David Yazbek; offstage, she feels the beat of NYC. “There is music everywhere,” she says. “The sound of traffic, the rhythm of trains, heels clicking on the concrete, all the different languages spoken around you. In the subways, the buskers and street musicians. Sometimes there’s a man who sits in the Times Square station and plays an erhu, a traditional Chinese two-string instrument, which is a remarkable thing to hear amid the rattling of modernity.” | Ethel Barrymore Theatre, 243 W. 47th St., 212.239.6200

Thirty-six of Fraver’s iconic posters are on display in the lobby of the Sofitel Hotel thru June 30. • Tickets to the 72nd annual Tony
show on June 10 are available to the general public, but they are limited. Contact tonyawards.com. • If you can’t be at the awards
ceremony in person, the next best thing is watching the Tony broadcast on CBS in the company of theater insiders at viewing parties at Joe’s Pub and Feinstein’s/54 Below. The latter is a benefit for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

WHAT’S TRENDING ON THE FOODIE SCENE by Lois Levine
WHERE FLOYD CARDOZ LEADS, I FOLLOW. It’s been that way ever since the Bombay-born chef/restaurateur seduced me with his contempory Indian fare at Tabla in the late 1990s. Now, his Bombay Bread Bar (195 Spring St., 212.235.1098) is raising that bar for Indian small plates, breads and chutneys. Start with the rosemary naan with lemon chutney, and then the banana-leaf-wrapped halibut, and see if you don’t become a Cardoz groupie yourself. Keeping to the Asian continent, a local Upper East Side gem worth investigating is the Asian steak house, Jade Sixty (116 E. 60th St., 212.256.1929), which offers up a fine

choice of flavorful red meats. Inside tip: If you are watching your wallet, the three-course prix fixe lunch ($20.18) is one of the best restaurant deals going. According to the thedailymeal.com, Italian is one of the most popular foods on the planet. In NYC, you won’t go wrong with sampling this cuisine at Scarpetta (88 Madison Ave., 212.691.0555). White-bricked walls and taupe-colored chairs and banquettes set a smart tone for its signature dishes, among them spaghetti with tomato and basil, and diver scallops. And, finally, if you are a country music fan, run, don’t walk, to over-the-top Opry City Stage (1604 Broadway,

212.388.5565). It’s glitz all the way, with shimmering walls, purple curtains, and artifacts and costumes, including suits worn by Johnny Cash and Porter Wagoner, displayed in glass cases above dining tables. There is a gift shop on the first floor, and, in the main dining room, live country and bluegrass bands entertain at lunch and dinner. But put aside all the spectacle, and you will discover an authentic menu of Southern favorites, from hot chicken and waffles with brown sugar and cayenne to brisket “burnt ends” with grits. Sides include fried green tomatoes, collard greens and corn-bread pudding. Be sure to finish with monkey bread with salted caramel and vanilla ice cream. Pondicheri

where the boys are ZACHARY QUINTO AND MATT BOMER HEADLINE A GROUNDBREAKING GAY DRAMA. By David Cote 14
IN NEW YORK | JUNE 2018 | INNEWYORK.COM
ZACH QUINTO: “IT’S THE NOTION OF AGING IN A CULTURE WHICH PRIZES YOUTH.”
FIFTY YEARS AGO, in a converted church on W. 55th St., Mart Crowley’s “The Boys in the Band” had the distinction of being America’s first modern, out-and-proud gay play. Maybe “proud” is an overstatement. This, after all, was 1968, and most of the cast was still (publicly) in the closet. Crowley’s funny but also blisteringly angry drama follows a diverse group of gay men throwing a birthday party for one of their friends at a Greenwich Village apartment. (The film version was released in 1970). With the unexpected arrival of the host’s straight ex-roommate from college, the gayversus-straight tension reaches a boiling point. Secrets are revealed; punches are thrown. Now “Boys” has made its long-delayed Broadway debut at the Booth Theatre, and the closet door has been ripped off its hinges. The revival was masterminded by TV producer Ryan Murphy (“American Horror Story,” “Glee”), staged by Joe Mantello (“Wicked”) and stars some of pop culture’s dishiest lads: Jim Parsons, Zachary Quinto, Matt Bomer and Andrew Rannells. Quinto (aka Spock in the “Star Trek” reboot) plays the Jewish, acidtongued birthday boy, Harold, while Bomer (of “Magic Mike” sequel fame) is neurotic but caring Donald.
“Boys in the Band” is about being part of a gay community in the late 1960s, but closeted. What are you taking from your life to get into that period mind-set? MATT BOMER: You have to remember that these guys have to have their
party behind closed doors. If they’re seen dancing together in public, they’ll be arrested. I grew up in semirural Texas. I understand what it is to have society tell you you’re “less than,” you cannot be who you are in a public forum. And I understand that velvet rage that can come with it. That’s part of my youth. And I think that’s why this piece is important. ZACHARY QUINTO: For me, it’s the notion of aging—which is a huge part
of Harold’s journey. That’s why it takes place at his birthday party. And the journey of a gay man into middle age is something that I’m in direct relationship to myself. I just turned 40, so I know what it means to get older in this culture and this community, which so prizes youth and the beauty that comes with youth. I think that’s a real theme in this play, not only for Harold, but for all of the characters. Zachary, you were on Broadway in 2013 in “The Glass Menagerie” revival; and Matt, you did a reading from the gay-marriage drama, “8,” in 2011. How does it feel to be back on Broadway? MATT BOMER: This is really my Broadway debut. Dustin Lance Black’s “8” was a one-night-only staged reading. It’s my dream come true. I actually trained to be a theater actor. It’s only by freak circumstances that my career has gone down other avenues. I’m scared—in a good way—but it also feels like I’m coming home. ZACHARY QUINTO: Well, not only am I coming back to Broadway, but
MATT BOMER: Ryan Murphy called me a little over a year ago and said, “Hey, the 50th anniversary of this piece is coming up.” I’m familiar with the play. I’d heard about it, read about it, but a lot of my knowledge of gay history in theater started with Larry Kramer’s “The Normal Heart” and “Torch Song Trilogy.” I wasn’t familiar with that pre- and post-Stonewall moment in the theater.

ZACHARY QUINTO: Ryan put together a reading at the beginning of last
year. I’ve never seen the play, and I don’t know the movie version. I’m deliberately waiting till after the run to see the film. But there’s such an interconnection between all of us. I’ve known Matt for over 20 years; we went to college together. Jim Parsons I’ve known for ages. I’ve done a movie with Charlie Carver; I’ve acted on stage with Brian Hutchison; I’ve been friends with Joe Mantello for years and always wanted to work with him. So, there was just a lot of momentum. Do you prefer film to theater, or the other way around, and why? ZACHARY QUINTO: If I could make the same living doing theater that I make doing film and television, it’s all I would do. I am never more comfortable or happier than when I’m onstage. There’s something about being onstage and telling a story that is ultimately more satisfying and rewarding. MATT BOMER: I don’t have a preference; they’re completely different mediums for different people. Television is a writer’s medium, no question. But what I love about theater is a sense that anything can happen in the moment. When you have a live audience, it’s never the same any two times. There’s no other medium that gives you that direct feedback and thrill.
MATT BOMER: “THESE GUYS HAD TO HAVE THEIR PARTY BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.”
How did you two get involved in “The Boys in the Band”?
I’m coming home to the same theater and same dressing room! I love the Booth Theatre. It’s an intimate house, but it has a lot of history and power. Just in terms of location, it’s a corner theater, right on Shubert Alley, and it’s just got a real presence. If I could do all my plays in the Booth, I’d be happy with that! What about other current or future projects? MATT BOMER: I directed episode eight of
[FX’s] “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story.” That was really exciting, an incredible privilege and a really educational experience all the way around. Also, I finished a couple of movies back-to-back, one called “Vulture Club” with Susan Sarandon and the other with the Irish Film Board called “Papi Chulo,” both out later in 2018. ZACHARY QUINTO: There’s a new film, “Aard-
vark,” which I produced and star in. We made it two years ago, and I’m excited to finally put it out into the world. I star alongside Jenny Slate and Jon Hamm. I have a film coming out later in the year called “Hotel Artemis” that stars Jodie Foster and Jeff Goldblum—I play Jeff’s son. So, those are the two things I have on the horizon, then I’m sort of really open. But for now, it’s all about the play and having a great summer in the city! IN NEW YORK | JUNE 2018 | INNEWYORK.COM

MINORIT
Y
REPORT From Bowling Green to Harlem, and from the very beginning, diversity has been the hallmark of New York City. BY SCOTT ROUCH
THE FIRST MAJOR SURGE of immigrants came to NYC between 1855 and 1890, when Castle Garden in the Battery allowed 8 million foreigners through its doors. Overwhelmed, the facility closed in 1890. Ellis Island was the next immigration hub. It opened in 1892, and by the time it shuttered its doors in 1954, more than 12 million people had passed through. Thank goodness for those anxious and weary travelers, for they were the pioneers who helped build the ethnicities, religions and cultures the Big Apple is now world-famous for.
African American
New York City’s history with slavery dates back to its construction, where its builders, enslaved (and free) Africans helped construct the colony of Dutch New Amsterdam in the 1600s. When the British took rule and changed the name to New York in 1664, slaves were no longer able to earn their freedom, and legal emancipation would not be enacted until 1827. Unable to use churchyards, Africans were buried in a plot of land outside the city until it was subdivided and sold for house lots in 1795. In 1991, that plot of ground would become known as the African Burial Ground (290 Broadway, 212.637.2019), after 419 skeletal remains were discov-
16
IN NEW YORK | JUNE 2018 | INNEWYORK.COM
ered 30 feet below street level prior to construction of a federal office building. More than 15,000 intact remains would be recovered in what has been called one of the most significant finds of the 20th century. The African Burial Ground was designated a New York City Historic District, National Historic Landmark and National Monument. In 2007, the African Burial Ground National Monument in Lower Manhattan was built. The Visitor Center’s 20-minute movie and exhibits tell the tale of the grounds, those interred and their histories. As a brilliant trumpeter, composer, singer and actor, Louis Armstrong was an international treasure. He revolutionized jazz, made his Broadway debut in 1929, then came to New York City in 1943 to live for good until his death in 1971. He traveled the world extensively, earning the nickname “Ambassador Satch,” which soon became “Satchmo.” He used his position to fiercely promote civil rights, including cancelling a U.S. State Department-sponsored tour of Russia to protest the government’s handling of the Arkansas “Little Rock Nine” high school integration crisis in 1957. The Louis Armstrong House Museum (34-56 107th St., Corona, Queens, 718.478.8274) allows an in-depth look at this historic figure.

Gays
The police raid of the The Stonewall Inn (53 Christopher St., 212.488.2705) in Greenwich Village on June 28, 1969, the city’s most well-known gay bar at the time, was met with resistance by patrons, which led to six days of clashes between the gay community and law enforcement, and has been signified as the start of the modern Gay Rights Movement. Artist George Segal’s bronze sculpture of two gay men standing and two gay women sitting on a bench was unveiled in 1992 in Christopher Park, outside Stonewall, which was made a National Historic Landmark in 2000. Today, the Inn thrives with live entertainment daily, including drag, variety and comedy shows in addition to dance parties. The 2018 NYC Pride March on June 24, an annual Pride Month event since 1970, kicks off at noon at Seventh Ave. and W. 16th St. The three-hour event, which is televised, includes former tennis superstar Billie Jean King as one of its grand marshals. The world’s only art museum dedicated to LGBTQ art and artists, the LeslieLohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art (26 Wooster St., 212.431.2609) numbers over 30,000 objects spanning three decades. Current exhibits include “RUBBISH AND DREAMS: The Genderqueer Performance Art of Stephen Varble,” an artist noted for his spur-of-the moment performances in the 1970s wearing costumes made of items including street trash.
Latin American
The Latin-American cultural influence is one that is felt across New York City, whether it’s dance, music, art or food. Puerto Ricans began the surge to New York City with the “Great Migration” in the 1950s: Since 2010, almost 30 percent of the city is Latino. More than 1,500 works of art in El Museo del Barrio’s (1230 Fifth Ave., 212.831.7272) permanent collection were created by New York-based Latino artists.

In addition to its respected artist-in-residence program, the Studio Museum in Harlem’s (144 W. 125th St., 212.864.4500) collections cover 200 years with works by more than 400 artists inspired by black culture. Entertainers, especially those of color, are aware of the powerful, career-altering presence of the Apollo Theater (253 W. 125th St., 212.531.5300) in Harlem. The groundbreaking theater has launched the musical careers of luminaries including Ella Fitzgerald, Stevie Wonder and James Brown. Iconic programs include Amateur Night at the Apollo and “Showtime at The Apollo,” recently revived by Fox Television. In the 19th century, Weeksville, Brooklyn, was the second-largest known free African-American community in pre-Civil War America. The Weeksville Heritage Center (158 Buffalo Ave., Brooklyn, 718.756.5250), in the National Register of Historic Places, has preserved that history and lets the story be told through its art.
One of the museum’s goals is to preserve Caribbean, Latino and Latin American art while attracting and educating a new generation of museum-goers. Spanish masters like Francisco de Goya and Diego Velázquez are part of the collection at The Hispanic Museum & Library (613 W. 155th St., 212.926.2234), which represents the cultures of Spain, Portugal, Latin America and the Philippines. At The Metropolitan Museum of Art (1000 Fifth Ave., 212.535.7710) you can see “Painted in Mexico, 1700–1790: Pinxit Mexici,” with stellar examples of Mexican and New Spanish art.
Jewish
The Jewish population in NYC expanded from 250,000 to over 4 million between 1880 and 1920. Eastern European Jews, escaping persecution and poverty, moved largely to the Lower East Side. The Museum at Eldridge Street (12 Eldridge St., 212.219.0302), inside Eldridge Street Synagogue, represents this wave of immigration. The Jewish Museum (1109 Fifth Ave., 212.423.3200) tracks the history of the Jewish identity for 4,000 years. The museum’s collections include works from Jewish artists like Marc Chagall. The Museum of Jewish Heritage’s (36 Battery Pl., 646.437.4202) core exhibition illustrates Jewish history before, during and after the Holocaust. Step outside to visit the “Gardens of Stone by Alan Goldsworthy,” where trees planted by the artist and survivors grow from stone.

The first wave of Irish immigrants to New York City came in the 1840s, fleeing the Irish Potato Famine. The Irish took what jobs they could—mostly menial—and were associated with criminal activity. Today, IrishAmericans are found across all walks of life and are known for being dedicated civil servants, such as policemen and firefighters. At the The Irish Repertory Theatre (132 W. 22nd St., 212.727.2737), see works from wellknown and newly discovered Irish and Irish-American playwrights, both classic and contemporary. At The Irish Arts Center (553 W. 51st St., 212.757.3318), you can enjoy live music, be drawn in by exhibitions from noted Irish artists or stop by for a laugh at “Sundays at Seven in June,” when the funniest comedians from across the city gather in the Donaghy Theatre. Theodore Roosevelt and composer George M. Cohan are just two notable past members of the American Irish Historical Society (991 Fifth Ave., 212.288.2263). The Society welcomes members and non members to learn about Irish culture through concerts, plays, exhibitions, readings and films. The library includes rare books and newspapers from as far back as the 17th century. Finally, for some authentic pub food that will make you feel like you are in the heart of Dublin, visit Molly’s Irish Pub and Restaurant Shebeen (287 Third Ave., 212.889.3361).

p get up dance D N A
Whether it’s swing, a waltz or a cha-cha, here are the spots to shake your booty. BY JONI SWEET IF YOU’VE EVER wound up at a contemporary club (you know, those impersonal joints with excessively loud music, laser lights and tough bouncers outside), you might have felt a nostalgic pang or two for the old-world style of nightclubs, the ones you remember from Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movies. The art of retro dancing has not died in New York City, but you’ve gotta know where to go. There are still vibrant clubs where people go to cha-cha, swing, merengue and strut their moves. Here are a few places around town that we recommend.

IN NEW YORK | JUNE 2018 | INNEWYORK.COM
The Copacabana
The New York City club that inspired Barry Manilow’s 1978 hit might still be “the hottest spot north of Havana.” The vivacious nightclub offers expansive dance floors with tropical decor (like palm-leaf wallpaper) and a disco ball for a 1970s vibe. It hosts a reliably buzzing salsa night on Tuesdays, along with Ladies’ Night, Top 40 remix parties and other Latinthemed events—all with plenty of dancing. Don’t leave without admiring the incredible views from the rooftop bar. 268 W. 47th St., 212.221.2672

Swing 46 Jazz & Supper Club
For more than 20 years, Swing 46 has brought big bands and a lively dancing scene to its cool supper club in the Theater District. The atmosphere takes you straight back to the 1940s, with big brass bands and orchestras belting out Swing-era tunes and dancers of all skill levels bringing some serious moves to the dance floor, including the Lindy hop, jitterbug, waltz and fox-trot. (Dance lessons are also offered.) Make a night of it with a reservation for the prix fixe dinner and a bottle of wine. 349 W. 46th St., 212.262.9554
Jazz Haus at the Hofbräu Bierhaus
Every Monday night, indie vintage event producer Prohibition Productions converts an unassuming German beer hall into the go-to place for jazz and swing fans in the city. It’s called Jazz Haus, and it’s a free weekly event that celebrates the Weimar era with live music, Deutsche snacks and surprisingly talented dancers dressed to the nines, twirling and dipping around the long wooden tables. Even if you don’t know all the moves, it’s worth going just to check out the scene. Come back on Tuesday for the weekly polka performance (including polka covers of pop and rock songs!),along with trivia thrown into the mix. 712 Third Ave., 212.867.2337

The Django
Tucked in the cellar of the Roxy Hotel is a hidden, intimate dance club that’s inspired by Jazz Age boîtes in Paris. One look at the vaulted ceilings, artfully peeling paint, brick walls and antique light fixtures, and you’ll immediately feel you’ve stumbled upon someplace special. Diverse live performers, ranging from tango quartets and brass bands to Brazilian jazz and mambo, get the crowd moving Tuesday-Saturday nights. Sit near the stage to be at the heart of the action. 2 Sixth Ave., 212.519.6649
Bembe
Concealed behind what looks like an unmarked truck loading gate under the Williamsburg Bridge is one of Brooklyn’s most fiery dancing hot spots: Bembe. The Latin American lounge heats up as DJs spin high-energy Afro-Caribbean tracks, including funk and bachata. On many nights, soulful live drummers fuel a beat that’s impossible to ignore. A diverse array of dancers bring a contagious attitude—prepare for a sweaty, fun dance party in close quarters that lasts all night long. 81 S. Sixth St., Williamsburg, Brooklyn, bembe.us (no phone)
Iguana Mexican Restaurant & Dance Lounge
At Iguana, the dance party isn’t confined to Friday and Saturday nights. This three-floor space in the Theater District, with a Latin dance club, Tex-Mex eatery and a downstairs lounge, has events every single night: rumba dancing on Tuesdays, salsa and bachata lessons on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and sexy Latin grooves throughout the week. And if you’re a little shy about hitting the dance floor, let one of Iguana’s 29 flavors of margaritas and mojitos take the edge off. 240 W. 54th St., 212.765.5454

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.
