skyline Burning Bright At the dawn of the 20th century, Igor Stravinsky composed his first ballet score for Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes. Opening night in Paris, Jun. 25, 1910, was a triumph; and Firebird, a retelling of a Russian folk tale, went on to help shape the course of modern dance, becoming a repertory staple of companies around the world. Using the complete 1910 score for 69 musicians, choreographer Alexei Ratmansky fans the flames of an all-new production, created for American Ballet Theatre (left, Misty Copeland, digitally enhanced for fiery effect) and performed during its New York season on Jun. 11 thru 13 and 21 thru 23. » American Ballet Theatre, Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center, Columbus Ave., btw W. 63rd & W. 64th sts., 212.362.6000, thru Jul. 7

When it comes to creating oneof-a-kind artisan jewelry, Aaron Macsai, whose studio is in Morton Grove, Ill., does it all. “I like the hands-on approach of manipulating metal,” he says. “I forge, extrude, file, fuse gold (bond with heat, no solder), etch, sandblast and polish. I primarily use various colors of 18-karat gold, in combination with other precious and nonprecious materials.” The master’s tanzanite-and-diamond gold brooch (right) is representative of the pieces he will be showing at the 36th annual American Crafts Festival. » American Crafts Festival, Lincoln Center, Columbus Ave., at W. 64th St., 973.746.0091, Jun. 9-10, 16-17

behind the curtain news » by Francis Lewis

Funny Lady “Farce is normal people in outrageous situations,” says Patricia Kalember apropos of her role as a soigné adulterous wife in Broadway’s Don’t Dress for Dinner. Apart from the technical requirements of the genre—the timing, the physicality, the language—for farce to succeed she (the actress) and we (the audience) must buy into these elegant people doing inelegant things. “The last thing you want is to be unbelievable,” explains Kalember (near left, with Spencer Kayden and Ben Daniels). To that end, her husband, actor/director Daniel Gerroll, gave her some useful insight: “They’re passionate people living in France, he told me. They turn on a dime.” Written by a Frenchman, Marc Camoletti, but adapted by an Englishman, Robin Hawdon, the script has a decidedly British tone, which Kalember affects with aplomb. Here, again, her London-born husband may have helped. Certainly, her son has his opinion as to why the comedy works: “‘Oh, Mom, everything’s funnier in an English accent,’ my 15-year-old said to me.” » Don’t Dress for Dinner, American Airlines Theatre, 227 W. 42nd St., 212.719.1300

Rock ‘n’ roll history may not have been made on Apr. 7, but a milestone was reached that day when Rock of Ages (below) entered its fourth year on Broadway. The big-hair tribute to the head-banging 1980s is a dance-in-the-aisles party, fueled by a hit parade of tunes from the era—everything from “Cum on Feel the Noize” to “We Built This City.” Following in a long tradition of great Broadway musicals that have become great Hollywood films (think: My Fair Lady, The Sound of Music, West Side Story and Chicago, among others), Rock of Ages, the movie, is set for release on Jun. 15, starring Tom Cruise in heavy metal overdrive. Rad. But with over 2,000 live performances under its sweatband, Rock of Ages on Broadway takes its cue from the Journey song “Don’t Stop Believin’”: “It goes on and on and on and on.” » Rock of Ages, Helen Hayes Theatre, 240 W. 44th St., 212.239.6200

The Lion Roars Tonight Its six 1998 Tony Awards (including the top prize for Best Musical) and Grammy for Best Musical Show Album attest to the artistic merits of The Lion King on Broadway (above). But other figures put it in the record book. Financially, the show is a gold mine. In early April, The Lion King surpassed The Phantom of the Opera as the Great White Way’s highest-grossing production ever, having taken in $853,846,062 at the box office since opening on Nov. 13, 1997. The accomplishment is even sweeter given

The Phantom of the Opera’s 10-year head start (the Andrew Lloyd Webber tuner opened on Jan. 26, 1988, at the Majestic Theatre, where it continues to play). Having given its 6,000th performance on Apr. 18, The Lion King now wears the crown as Broadway’s sixth longest-running show. It’s a solid winner in social-media circles, too, and the first Broadway show with more than 1 million Facebook “likes.” King of the Beasts indeed. » The Lion King, Minskoff Theatre, 200 W. 45th St., 866.870.2717

Papery Pleasures “Works on paper have often been marginalized, seen as less important or valuable than those on canvas or in marble,” observes Halley Harrisburg, director of the Michael Rosenfeld Gallery. To counteract that impression: . . . On Paper, an exhibit of 36 works spanning the last 80 years. Some are by artists who worked exclusively on pulp, such as Charles Wolff and Morris Graves; others are “a surprise,” Harrisburg says, by artists associated with other mediums, such as sculptor Gaston Lachaise, represented by a ca. 1930 drawing of a big-hipped nude (a typical subject, despite the atypical format) and painter/ set designer Pavel Tchelitchew, whose “Untitled” (above, 1953) seems a pastel portrait of a pulsating atom. » Michael Rosenfeld Gallery, 24 W. 57th St., 212.247.0082, thru Jun. 29

Antiques aficionados see Japan’s Meiji Period (1868-1912) as a golden age, when a dynamic young emperor and a redistribution of wealth inspired artisans to create works of exquisite detail. Typical is a shimmering vase (left) made of parcel gilt and silver. Raised, sculpted chrysanthemums decorate its body, while a serpent—the snake in the enameled garden?—slithers realistically around its neck. One of a pair, the vase was intended for export to the West, where such examples of “Japonisme” were all the rage—perfect for displaying in elaborate mahogany whatnots and carved curio chests. » Flying Cranes

Boys From the ’Hood Two of Fountain Gallery’s regular artists have been particularly prolific of late, causing the gallery to feature them in a dual show. Osvaldo Cruz/Keith Pavia: New Works is also loosely tied together by a New York “street” theme: Graffiti artist Cruz is a master of spray paint, using a variety of nozzles to render abstract images—some bold, some refined—on Masonite slabs, while Pavia offers gouaches inspired by the city’s subways. Pavia is also displaying several mixed-media “kimono” works, such as “Her Light of Day” (above, 2012), with a Chagall-filtered-through-Tokyo sensibility. » Fountain Gallery, 702 Ninth Ave., 212.262.2756, thru Jul. 11

the Birds and the Bees “I draw inspiration from nature’s oddities and its perfect forms,” says sculptor Natalie Tyler. Several results of that inspiration are on view in a solo exhibit of sculptures, which render the habitats of animals and insects, such as the honey-colored, honeycomb-like crystal “Wasps Nests” (left, 2011). A sense of the life cycle unifies the show: If one series depicts bronzedipped, decaying sunflowers, another shows birds’ nests with translucent resin eggs—with a suggestion of the chicks inside.

INSIDE FINE ART GALLERY HASTED KRAEUTLER SARAH HASTED & JOSEPH KRAEUTLER Owners of Hasted Kraeutler, a contemporary art gallery that specializes in photography is located in the heart of New York’s Chelsea art district. Sarah and Joseph share two of their favorite photographs from the gallery’s exhibition On This Earth, A Shadow Falls, by fine art photographer Nick Brandt.

NICK BRANDT On This Earth, A Shadow Falls, features stunning images of endangered African animals, which he photographs “in the same way I would a human being, watching for the right ‘pose’ that hopefully will best capture his or her spirit,” he says. Always “moving in close” he never uses a telephoto lens, because it is too impersonal. Prices of the photographs in the exhibition start at $4,500. Hasted Kraeutler is open to the public Tuesday - Saturday, 11 am - 6 pm. For further information please contact Hasted Kraeutler at 212-627-0006 or email info@hastedkraeutler.com

Just Ducky

Duck is an ingredient of innovation on Chef/owner Simpson Wong’s Asian-inspired menu at Wong. Seated on schoolhouse chairs (the kind with a shelf underneath for textbooks) at communal tables, adventurous diners can experience scallops and crispy duck tongues with cucumber and jellyfish; duck bun with cucumber and Chinese celery; and seasonal vegetables grilled in duck fat. To make the restaurant’s signature dessert, duck à la plum (left), Pastry Chef Judy Chen infuses ice cream with the flavor of a whole roasted duck (the process takes three days), then serves two savory scoops with star-anise-poached plums, a sugar tuile and five-spice cookie. » Wong, 7 Cornelia St., 212.989.3399

refined dining Upon entering Vic & Anthony’s Steakhouse (below), guests receive Texas-size greetings—”Welcome to Vic & Anthony’s!”—from a phalanx of hostesses and servers as enthusiastic as cheerleaders for the Houston Texans. It makes perfect sense, since the handsome restaurant, outfitted with handcrafted mahogany woodwork and plush leather furnishings, is the newest link in a popular Houstonbased chain, with outposts in Las Vegas and Atlantic City. Here, Executive Chef Brandi McHan is in charge, turning out signature dishes, such as fresh oysters Rockefeller, maple-glazed quail with spicy Sriracha sauce and USDA Prime grain-fed beef (rib eye, New York strip, porterhouse and filet mignon), not to mention seafood and chops, in an open kitchen. Diners can choose to be seated at the high counter overlooking the stoves, for an up close view of all the sautéing and sizzling. » Vic & Anthony’s Steakhouse, 233 Park Ave. So., 212.220.9200

Raising the Stakes

Sculpted metal accents the walls of Vitae (above); its chainlink motif is echoed on the terrazzo floors. The effect is to create a sense of privacy and exclusivity for the Midtown power lunch and dinner crowds, as they sample Chef/owner Edwin Bellanco’s Modern American offerings, including fluke tartare, chicken and ricotta meatballs and veal cheek agnolotti. » Vitae, 4 E. 46th St., 212.682.3562

Above It All Two words: stunning view. A glowing panorama of the bright lights and city bustle of Times Square dominates the scene at Broadway Lounge (left), where a curved wall of floor-to-ceiling windows supplies a breathtaking vista from every seat in the house. This family- and group-friendly spot is convenient for and conducive to pre- and post-theater drinks or dinner. In fact, to honor the revival of Broadway hit Evita, playing downstairs at the Marquis Theatre, Argentinean tapas with wine pairings are being served. One can get comfy, order a cocktail (or two), and relax while watching the crowds scurry frantically below. » Broadway Lounge, New York Marriott Marquis Hotel, 1535 Broadway, 212.704.8900

Hauntingly Hip Think 19th-century Victorian parlor meets polysexual hipster hangout: the kind of place where you could easily imagine Jack the Ripper and Elton John sitting down to share a drink. Confused? Don’t be. Bedlam (left), a swanky new dance bar, brings the haunting air of London’s East End to NYC’s cooler-than-thou East Village. Its distinctive décor includes taxidermic beasts (bear, warthog, countless birds and an enormous moose head), laboratory vials, anatomical dioramas, wallpaper made from hundred-year-old scientific journals and disco balls hanging alongside ornate chandeliers. You can sip the Bedlam Cup (Pimm’s, elderflower liqueur and a splash of framboise) in burnished red leather booths or boogie down on the dance floor (with DJs playing everything from pop to hip-hop to disco). Named after the infamous London looney bin, Bedlam lives up to its moniker—midnight madness is thick in the air. » Bedlam, 40 Ave. C, 212.2281049

When one envisions a NY vineyard, pastoral eastern Long Island may come to mind, but Brooklyn Winery brings the ancient art of wine-making to one of the city’s five boroughs. In a cool, industrial atmosphere furnished with communal tables, visitors sample wines from France, Chile, Italy and Germany but the real thrill is indulging in the house varieties (zinfandel and pinot noir) made on-premises. Big spenders can even crush grapes to customize their own boutique blends. The idea is unconventional, but genius. It’s as if the Greek god of wine woke up in a New York state of mind and thought, “Perhaps I’ll move to Williamsburg.” » Brooklyn Winery, 213 N. 8th St., Williamsburg, Brooklyn, 347.763.1506

Upon entering the bi-level emporium, all white leather and acrylic, shoppers gaze upon an 18-foot video monitor showcasing models prancing down the runway.

Follow the Light

Neuhaus, the Belgian bonbon maker since 1857 and selfdescribed inventor of chocolates with fillings, has opened a new temple to temptation.

Handsome Hollywood veteran Blair Underwood is quietly ensconced at an upstairs table at Sardi’s, the legendary Theater District restaurant. Behind him, vintage Richard Baratz caricatures of theatrical legends line the walls. In front of him is a bowl of French onion soup and tea with honey and lemon. His manner is genteel and relaxed, yet he attracts glances from waitresses and fellow patrons. The man was, after all, one of People’s “Sexiest Men Alive” in 2004—and that was long before he bulked up for his current, chest-baring role. Underwood has time for only a quick bite before he heads across the street to the Broadhurst Theatre, where he’s making his Broadway debut in a revival of Tennessee Williams’ classic A Streetcar Named Desire. Eight times a

plains. “Stanley is such a physical character—when he’s offstage, he’s probably fighting, yelling at somebody, pushing somebody around. His hair-trigger temper is always right below the surface. He’s always on edge, but there’s also that side of him that’s incredibly fragile. And it’s on full display when he’s screaming in that cry from the heart to his wife, Stella. He is so complicated. That’s why I think it’s one of the greatest roles in the American theater for an actor.” You might say Underwood has been gearing up for this role his whole life. He was born Blair E. Underwood in Tacoma, Wash., on Aug. 25, 1964, the second of four children to Army Colonel Frank Underwood Sr. and his wife, fashion designer Marilyn. His father’s career took them all over the world, but they finally settled in Petersburg, Va., where young

Stages of Desire week, he stalks the stage, sweaty and intimidating, wreaking emotional havoc and screaming “Stella!” into the New Orleans night, as the animalistic Stanley, a role made iconic on stage and screen by Marlon Brando. Although Underwood recently earned a Drama League Award nomination, he is well aware of the long shadow that Brando casts. “I don’t think you can erase it,” he says. “For me the objective is to carve out a character in Stanley that is honest and authentic, that’s as real and as relevant as I can make him. You know, people often talk about the ghosts of not only Brando, but also Elia Kazan’s 1947 stage production and the movie in 1951. I’ve embraced the ghosts. The idea is not to be haunted by them!” There’s a common misconception about Stanley, he continues. “People think that, because he’s a brute, he’s stupid. In fact, he’s not ignorant. He’s not unintelligent. He’s just very clear and very direct about who he is and what he wants, and how he wants it. And he doesn’t let anybody get in the way.” The role demands that Underwood hits the stage on fire every night. “I work out before I go on, so I’m physically and literally pumped,” he ex-

Underwood began performing at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg. He went on to study drama at Carnegie Mellon University, but dropped out for financial reasons—which turned out to be a blessing in disguise. “I decided to go to New York to look for a job and a place to stay,” he recalls, “and one of my teachers at Carnegie Mellon said he’d introduce me to his agent. My second day in New York in 1985, I got a spot on an episode of The Cosby Show. That happened so fast. It opened up doors. I lived on Eastern Parkway in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, for a year and a half, took the No. 3 train into Manhattan every day to go to auditions and landed my first movie, Krush Groove (1985). After that, I was on One Life to Live for three months.” And then, a short-lived TV series called Downtown (CBS, 1986-1987), a Los Angeles police drama, required him to relocate to the West Coast, where he promptly shot to fame as attorney Jonathan Rollins on L.A. Law (NBC, 1987-1994) and Underwood never looked back. He has logged 27 years in film and television, earning Golden Globe nominations for L.A. Law and In Treatment (HBO, 2008), two NAACP Image Award nominations for playing a NY Knicks’ team doc-

tor who romanced Miranda on Sex and the City (HBO, 20032004) and a Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word for Vice President Al Gore’s album An Inconvenient Truth (2009). And now, Broadway has beckoned for a 16-week limited run. “It’s been extraordinary. In general, theater is magical, but there is another level of magic on the Broadway stage. I’ve spent most of my career doing camera work, where there’s no continuity. You stop and start. You come to the set, rehearse, block it and then shoot it. Here, we recreate it every night. And it grows and matures and morphs every night. It’s like improvisational jazz!” Live theater, of course, has its own set of perils, too. One night, a slight miscalculation sent cups flying into audience members’ laps during one of Stanley’s violent outbursts. And then there’s the moment Stanley removes his shirt. When told that women have been heard gasping at the star’s finely chiseled pectorals and abs, Underwood, who has three children with wife Désirée DaCosta, bursts out laughing. “Well,” he says, “that’s another part of the role that comes with the territory.” Being on Broadway is “the epitome of the American theater experience,” he adds. “I can tell you in no uncertain terms that this has been a dream come true.” With that, dinner’s over. It’s almost showtime, and Underwood can’t wait to see what happens tonight.

roletarians protest overcompensated overlords. Presidential hopefuls sling mud. Gentrifiers ignite racial tensions. Devotees defend faith in the face of adversity. Though these may sound like front-page headlines, they could have also come from the lively arts section of today’s newspaper—specifically, the theater reviews. After a couple of seasons when joyous frivolity was the hot thing (Anything Goes, Priscilla Queen of the Desert), weighty issues are seizing center stage on today’s Great White Way. From the soberest of plays to the bounciest of musicals, escape from escapism is all the rage. Perhaps the most current of the au courant crop is Gore Vidal’s The Best Man (Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, 236 W. 45th St., 212.239.6200). Never mind its 1960 copyright. Its depiction of the dealings, dirty and otherwise, behind the scenes at a presidential nominating convention make it as timeless as it is timely—particularly in this roller-coaster of an election year. John Larroquette and Eric McCormack (leading a cast featuring the luminous likes of James Earl Jones, Angela Lansbury and Candice Bergen) play fictional candidates of varying virtues, and if they seem familiar, well, that’s completely coincidental … and totally by design. “The Best Man is entirely fiction,” Vidal said in 2000, on the occasion of the play’s last Broadway revival. “The characters reflect certain traits that they [share] with actual politicians, nothing more. Political archetypes seldom vary in our politics. There is the populist. There is the candidate of corporate America. As a study in presidential character, the play is as relevant as it was when I wrote it.” Political themes also permeate the Jon Robin Baitz drama Other Desert

Cities (Booth Theatre, 222 W. 45th St., 212.239.6200). Stacy Keach plays a staunch Republican actor-turned-Reagan-era-ambassador with a couple of radically liberal children, one of whom is intent on publishing a memoir exhuming a best-left-buried family tragedy. Though it’s set in the near past, the play’s examination of the ways political allegiances can drive wedges between people couldn’t be more of the moment. The Columnist (Samuel J. Friedman Theatre, 261 W. 47th St., 212.239.6200), David Auburn’s new play about über-powerful Washington political writer and closeted homosexual Joseph Alsop, is another hotbed of hot-button issues. “He carried on this extraordinary journalistic mission,” says John Lithgow, who stars as Alsop, an outspoken supporter of President John F. Kennedy and the Vietnam War. “He was a public man with a private secret, which in those days was a very dark secret. That’s the real tension in the play. In so many ways, it’s a portrait of the difference between that time and ours.” Yes, but with homophobia and the power of the press as major motifs, the similarities between then and now are undeniable. As the tale of midcentury Argentinean president Juan Perón’s opportunistic wife, Evita (Marquis Theatre, 1535 Broadway, 877.250.2929)—Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s sardonic pop opera enjoying a lavish revival with Argentinean dynamo Elena Roger and “La Vida Loca”-livin’ Ricky Martin—certainly is “political theater.” But as emphasized by director Michael Grandage’s lucid production, Evita isn’t so much about literal politics as it is about how a person of dubious talent and IN New YORK | june 2012 | innewyork.com

bigotry blackmail few ethics can rise to the top via sheer will and sex appeal, as a besotted nation cheers. (If Eva Perón were around today, she’d probably have her own reality show, as well.) In Evita, the working poor blindly adore their (allegedly) corrupt leaders, but in Newsies (Nederlander Theatre, 208 W. 41st St., 866.870.2717) they rise—no, kick their heels—up against them. Inspired by the 1899 labor dispute between headline-hawking urchins and media magnate Joseph Pulitzer, this adaptation of a 1994 film boasts acrobatic dance numbers performed by a veritable army of athletic lads. While stylistically the show’s a rollicking throwback to familyfriendly, kid-filled extravaganzas like Oliver! and Annie, its chronicle of have-nots protesting against entrenched haves strikes an all-too-contemporary chord. Studies of race relations are not new to Broadway. Memphis, winner of the 2010 Tony Award for Best Musical and still going strong at the Shubert Theatre (225 W. 44th St., 212.239.6200), depicts a love affair between a white DJ and a black singer—a dangerous business in the segregated titular city of the 1950s. This season, the old adage “the more things change, the more they stay the same” is given an audacious topical spin in the 2011 Pulitzer Prize-winning Clybourne Park (Walter Kerr Theatre, 219 W. 48th St., 212.239.6200), an ingenious exploration of this nation’s immutable racial tensions, then and now. Written by Bruce Norris, Clybourne Park pays homage to A Raisin in the Sun: In its first act, set in 1959, a character from Lorraine Hansberry’s groundbreaking drama attempts to convince homeowners in an all-white neighborhood not to sell to a black family. Act II flashes forward 50 years: The now-blighted (and black) neighborhood is gentrifying, and a white family wants the house. This time, bigoted suspicions, sentiments and, yes, even epithets emerge from both sides of the racial divide.

Bigger than politics, bigger than race, are Broadway’s most contentious, most galvanizing musical subjects: religion and faith. Coverage of them began last season, albeit in a lighthearted way, with The Book of Mormon (Eugene O’Neill Theatre, 230 W. 49th St., 212.239.6200), the mega-hit musical from the creators of TV’s South Park about missionaries in Uganda. Though its heart—yes, it has one—is about sticking to your convictions while under (literal) fire, what really sticks in audience’s minds is its blasphemous humor. Likewise, Sister Act (Broadway Theatre, 1681 Broadway, 212.239.6200), about a not-especially-religious person who’s safely ensconced in a convent after she witnesses a murder, makes some meaningful points about spiritual devotion—but the show’s focus is on its jokeladen book and spangles-filled, disco-fied musical numbers. This season’s shows take a more earnest approach, especially two retellings of the greatest story ever told. A revival of Jesus Christ Superstar (Neil Simon Theatre, 250 W. 52nd St., 877.250.2929) includes all the high-tech trappings usually associated with Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s 1971 passion-play-cum-rock-opera, as well as its comparison of religious leadership to show-biz stardom; but this staging adds a human element by suggesting a love triangle between Jesus, Judas and Mary Magdalene. Meanwhile, Godspell (Circle in the Square, 1633 Broadway, 212.239.6200) occupies the more mellow end of the spectrum, with a beatific but plucky cast performing parables from the Gospel of St. Matthew through ad hocstyle staging and groovy Stephen (Wicked) Schwartz tunes like “Day by Day.” Its timeless messages—relating to the dangers of materialism and the importance of spirituality—are lent immediacy via shout-outs to texting, Facebook and a host of other 21st-century concerns. Another of this season’s offerings, the recently closed Leap of Faith, dealt with religious hucksterism. The gospel-tinged tuner told the tale of an evangelical preacher (Raúl Esparza), a con artist who begins to doubt his own disbelief after pitching his tent in a small, drought-stricken Kansas town. Yes, this season’s most talked-about productions mirror the tumultuous times in which we live. But while the subjects may be serious, they’re presented with all the skill and élan one could hope for in a Broadway show. To quote Medda Larkin, the vivacious burlesque queen portrayed by Capathia Jenkins in Newsies, “where better to escape trouble than a theater?”

abaret. The word conjures up bygone worlds of glamour—Belle Époque Paris, with red velvet curtains rising to reveal bejeweled chanteuses and cancan dancers; or Jazz Era Manhattan with singers in slinky gowns or a sax player blowin’ the blues. These images, like the genre itself, may have dimmed for a while, outshone by flashier, electronic entertainments. But now, as a burst of new venues and filled-to-capacity rooms suggests, its flame is once more burning bright—albeit with a 21st-century sensibility. The newest of the new is 54 Below (254 W. 54th St., 866.468.7619), opening Jun. 5 with Patti LuPone. The 144-seat venue bills itself as “Broadway’s Nightclub,” not only for its locale—it’s situated beneath the discoturned-theater Studio 54—but for its creative team: From the vaguely 1890s interior (complete with wrought-iron balustrades and raised red banquettes) to the lighting to the sound, “our design lineup is literally a parade of

Tony Award winners,” says founding partner Tom Viertel (himself a producer along the Great White Way for over 25 years). The acts also feature Broadway’s best, blended with nightclub and comedy club stars. After Ms. LuPone, this month’s roster offers Brian d’Arcy James (of the musical Shrek and TV’s Smash), comedienne Jackie Hoffman and Justin Vivian Bond (once of the duo Kiki and Herb). “People can come dine, see the show and then remain for dancing and drinks late into the night,” Viertel says. If 54 Below is bringing Broadway professionalism to cabaret, Jazz at Kitano (The Kitano New York, 66 Park Ave., 212.885.7000), which opened in May, is imparting it with an Asian technique. The Japanese-owned hotel had offered live jazz for nine years in its balcony bar, a feature that had grown so popular, the management decided to pump up the volume by converting one of the restaurants into a full-fledged club. The farthest table is only 25 feet away from the performance area,

ttention to ambience also characterizes Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola (Jazz at Lincoln Center, Broadway, at W. 60th St., 212.258.9595). Ensconced on the fifth floor, the light, airy, ultra-modern room is dominated by a glass wall overlooking Columbus Circle; but since it boasts state-of-the-art soundproofing, it provides no distracting noise, only a beautiful, metropolitan mosaic to the music, which celebrates jazz in all its incarnations, from ragtime to rap. In contrast, the venerable jazz joint Birdland (315 W. 44th St., 212.581.3080) keeps itself young with events such as Jim Caruso’s Cast Party, a Monday-night gathering in which professional and amateur musicians of all stripes—jazz, classical, theatrical— sign up upon arrival to perform, creating a unique jam session. The party has welcomed stars of all generations and genres, from Tony Bennett to Jon Bon Jovi. “It’s about respecting the past, but also bringing new talent into the spotlight,” says Birdland Owner Gianni Valenti. And everything old is new again at Garage Restaurant & Café (99 Seventh Ave. So., 212.645.0600), a Village institution built on 1940s nostalgia, from the antique auto parts decorating the walls to the Big Band acts it regularly books. “Depending on the night, we could have 17 instruments on the stage at once,” notes General Manager Juan Carlos Briones. The Swing Era sound “is becoming one of our signature performances.” Another art form enjoying a big-time revival: burlesque. “People sometimes confuse burlesque with strip clubs, but nothing could be less accurate,” explains Gary Beeber, producer of two shows, Gotham Burlesque and The Naked Truth, both at The Triad (158 W. 72nd St., 212.362.2590). True burlesque, which flourished in the 1920s to 1940s, is a revue that uses songs, dance, comics, skits and, yes, a scantily clad female contingent, to entertain audiences. “Today’s burlesque performers come from modern dance and performance-art backgrounds, and they weave political satire and comedy into each act,” Beeber adds.

“A true supper club places equal emphasis on the cuisine and the stage, creating a whole night’s experience in one setting.”

with fabric-paneled walls to “push” the sound forward. Reflecting the hotel’s clientele, the menu has a Pan-Asian influence, and an international air permeates the schedule: June acts include Wycliffe Gordon, Katsuko Tanaka and Joe Locke. But the venue isn’t just for The Kitano’s guests: “We want to be the neighborhood place,” says General Manager Clement Carey, “and the neighborhood is the whole world.”

Striptease in tasteful surroundings is featured at Duane Park

Designer John Lee Beatty’s rendering of the new venue 54 Below, located under the theater Studio 54, which aims to be “Broadway’s Nightclub.”

“You can trace burlesque back to vaudeville and the days when the circus went indoors,” agrees Robert Elmes. Each Saturday, his Galapagos Art Space (16 Main St., DUMBO, Brooklyn, 718.212.8500) offers the Floating Kabarette (so named because guests sit on booths hovering above a 1,600-square-foot indoor lake), a fourhour spectacular of elaborately costumed acts: trapeze acrobats, contortionists, racy comics, jazz bands and striptease artists. Lovely ladies also disrobe regularly at Duane Park (157 Duane St., 212.732.5555), whose shows include comedians, torch singers and magicians. Though it lacks a lake, the TriBeCa venue offers an elegant Rococo-style room, a five-piece band to back up the dancers, elaborate cocktails and fresh American fare.

he neo-nightspots do, indeed, pride themselves on their tables. “A true supper club places equal emphasis on the cuisine and the stage, creating a whole night’s experience in one setting,” says Ronnie Madra, partner in The Darby (244 W. 14th St., 212.242.4411), which opened in late 2010. Within the lavish room, suffused with sparkles from a weblike, copper/silver ceiling sculpture, patrons listen to live music while feasting on updated American classics by Executive Chef Alex Guarnaschelli, known for her TV appearances and Butter restaurant (415 Lafayette St., 212.253.2828). “We draw celebrity guests, who’ve been known to perform impromptu, because our chef is a celebrity in her own right,” Madra says. A famed toque also helms Harlem’s Ginny’s Supper Club (310 Lenox Ave., 212.792.9001): Marcus Samuelsson, who characterizes the cozy spot beneath his Red Rooster restaurant as “based on a 1940s supper club, but done in a modern way.” The modernity derives from the menu, a mix of Southern, Asian and French influences, reflecting the smorgasbord of sounds (reggae, Latin percussion, gospel) on the stage. For all the contemporary trimmings, cabaret remains a classic art form. So why the revival now? Melanie Stace, appearing this month at Feinstein’s at Loews Regency (Loews Regency Hotel, 540 Park Ave., 212.339.4095) offers an intriguing answer: “In this electronic age, people need live performance more than ever.”

Talking to the Stars Celebrity sightings are commonplace in New York City, where a constellation of stars live and work, or are often in town while appearing on Broadway or shooting a film or TV show. Locals are characteristically nonchalant when they spot a famous face, but that doesn’t mean you can’t approach your favorite actor—as long as you “use common sense,” says Gina Bianco, concierge at The Benjamin. “Performers are very busy people.” If you spot a star rushing down the street, or having an intense tête-à-tête in a restaurant, that’s probably not the best time to ask for an autograph or for a photo for your Facebook page. But if he or she doesn’t seem otherwise engaged, you can approach. Be ultra-polite—use “Mr.” or “Ms.”—and get right to the point: “I just want to say how much I enjoyed your performance in...” (It’s especially endearing if you compliment him/her on a lesser-known role or short-lived venture, which marks you as a longtime admirer.) Keep the conversation professional—work or, perhaps, a cause they support, never personal life. Of course, the time-honored place to meet your idol is at the stage door after a show (the house manager or TIPS FROM: an usher can direct you to it).
