But Warren’s slow-if-steady rise to the top shot up like a rocket the second she stepped on the stage of London’s Aldwych Theatre in the spring of 2018 as the legendary rock goddess Tina Turner in the biomusical “Tina.” She received raves from the critics, who used words such as “astonishing” and “starmaking” to describe her work—and she earned a coveted Olivier Award nomination for Best Actress in a Musical.

Now, after a fairly brief hiatus, Warren is once again tackling this iconic role at Broadway’s Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, shimmying and shaking through such hit songs as “Private Dancer,” “What’s Love Got to Do With It?” and “Proud Mary.” Warren spoke to IN New York about the challenges of the part, what she has personally learned from Tina Turner, why she is so happy to be finally back in New York City, and what fellow performer would “freak her out” if she came to the show.

Adrienne Warren channels Tina Turner on Broadway.

BY BRIAN SCOTT LIPTON

How did you get the role of Tina?

I had a very unconventional way of getting involved in the show. I was asked to be part of the first table read in 2016, but when I went to my agent’s office to pick up the script, I did not know what it was going to be. When I saw that it was “Tina,” I thought, “This will be great!” And then I asked what part they wanted me to read. I never figured it was actually Tina.

Adrienne Warren

IN JUST A DECADE onstage, 32-year-old actress Adrienne Warren has already made a major splash in the pool of musical theater. She first caught audiences’ attention portraying the role of sassy Lorrell Robinson in the 2009 touring production of “Dreamgirls,” took Broadway by storm in 2012 as high school cheerleader Danielle in the joyful “Bring It On,” and stole the spotlight in 2016’s star-studded “Shuffle Along,” earning a Tony Award nomination for Best Featured Actress in a Musical for her dual roles of divalicious actress Gertrude Saunders and the more demure Florence Mills.

IN NEW YORK | NOVEMBER-DECEMBER 2019 | INNEWYORK.COM

Once you got the part—which I hear Tina personally picked you for—what kind of research did you do for the role?

I read her autobiography, “I, Tina,” immediately, and then I watched as many YouTube videos of her as I could find. But it wasn’t so much about the research; I had to find it in myself to become the best Adrienne I could be to become the best Tina I could be. There is so much responsibility in sharing her story, both as a fan and a performer, that I literally changed my body and my voice in order to capture her energy and style. I put a lot of pressure on myself, so I was very relieved when the audiences in London liked what they saw. I think when you’re onstage in a part like this, you know that if the show doesn’t work, it’s really all on you!

Over the last two years, you have become friendly with Tina.

What have you learned from her, both about being a performer and being a woman?

First, Tina taught me there are no shortcuts as a performer.

What we do is hard work, and you have to do the work.

PHOTO: ADRIENNE WARREN, TIFFANY NICHOLSON

Why would you think that?

First, I idolized Tina so much as a kid, I really thought no one can play her. But I really didn’t think anyone would see me as her when I had just done “Shuffle Along,” which was set in the 1920s and used more traditional Broadway music. Eventually, I did ask someone why they wanted me, and I found out the great casting director Bernie Telsey had given them my name.

He knew rock ’n’ roll was always in my blood. In fact, I was in a rock band in college, and I later toured with the Jim Steinman Band and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I’ve come full circle, in a way.

Second, and more important than anything else, she has taught me the importance of believing in yourself, especially when no one else is there for you. She always says you have to find something to push you onto the path you want to take, and then you take it, and then you remember that there is no obstacle you can’t overcome. She has an inner strength that is so admirable; it’s why she and her music resonate so strongly after all these years. You can hear her tenacity in every breath she takes and see it in every move she makes.

This show is so exhausting that you’re only doing six shows a week. In fact, I thought you might not want to do it again in New York after the London run. Did that thought ever cross your mind?

I didn’t ever think I wouldn’t do it, but I wasn’t sure my body would make it. It was particularly hard for me in London, because I didn’t have my family or personal support system nearby. But now I feel ready to do it again. And I feel really grateful to have the opportunity.

How much does it mean to you now that you’re back in New York City?

I’ve loved this city my entire life. I grew up in Virginia, and I first came to visit when I was 10. We saw Heather Headley in “The Lion King” (she was the original Nala), and I told my mom during the show, “This is what I want to do.” I don’t think she was thrilled. But I did everything I could to be able to come here and then get to Broadway, including going to Marymount Manhattan College. Of course, that said, I never thought it would lead to playing Tina!

Other than your “support system,” what did you miss most about New York during your time in London?

Honestly, I really missed having my Broadway community around. Our theaters are so close together here, which isn’t true over there. I barely saw anyone in London. I felt very isolated. Now, I can just pop over to Restaurant Row, which has a lot of my favorite places, to get lunch or a drink with friends or my fellow actors. That makes me so happy!

You had a lot of celebrity visitors in London, including the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Oprah Winfrey and Benedict Cumberbatch, to name a few. Whom do you most want to come see the show here?

I’d really love the Obamas to come. And then there’s Beyoncé, although I don’t think I could actually go onstage if I knew she was in the audience! Knowing she was there would just freak me out.

So how do you top playing Tina Turner?

I don’t think you do. Artistically, this show is probably the most fulfilled I will ever be in musical theater, and that’s OK! But there are other things I want to do. I want to produce; I want to create work for other artists; and when I come back onstage, I think I’d like to do it in a play. Don’t worry, I’m not going to retire. All I can do is just keep moving forward.

THERE’S NO PLACE like home for the holidays. Maybe it’s the decorated store windows, or a familiar song belted by a busking saxophonist, or the way snowflakes dance down to the sidewalk, but there’s something about New York City this time of year that makes locals and visitors alike feel homesick. Where can we find the comfort of home in the Big Apple?

makes you feel like you’ve been transported to [a German] town’s oldest café with familiar sights, sounds and, most importantly, smells,” he says. “It’s the perfect spot on a cold winter night when you need a bit of German gemütlichkeit [good cheer] or coziness.”

Another place that banishes homesickness for Gill is Zum Schneider in Alphabet City. “Zum Schneider has a year-round biergarten vibe, especially when a soccer game is on the big screen,” he says. “All of the waiters speak German. There’s no better way to feel at home than when you’re speaking your mother tongue and eating your favorite foods.”

To find out, we consulted some bona fide experts on homesickness—foreign diplomats. They spend years away from home, running the consulates in NYC. Like many travelers, these officials have learned that familiar flavors are often the fastest cure for homesickness. And lucky for them (and us!), this vibrant city has restaurants serving cuisines from every corner of the world.

Diplomats have scoured all five boroughs to find the best versions of comfort food from their homelands. Here’s where they dine for a taste of home.

AUSTRALIA

GERMANY When German Consul General David Gill hankers after food from home, he heads to the Upper East Side’s Heidelberg, one of the oldest family-run German restaurants in the United States. “It has a classic German atmosphere that

Alastair J.M. Walton, Australian consul general, may not be able to find the open spaces and beaches that he misses in Australia here in New York, but he’s pinpointed a few places in the city to nosh on Down Under grub.

“You only have to visit NoLIta, which has been dubbed ‘Little Australia,’ to get your Aussie fix,” he says. “It’s incredible seeing the likes of Two Hands, Charley St, Bluestone Bowery Café, Ruby’s Cafe, Gran Tivoli and Good Thanks taking over the area.” Nothing beats an Aussie breakfast, and for that, Walton heads to Banter in Greenwich Village.

“I also visit Chinese Tuxedo for its Australian-Asian fusion [cooking],” he says. “Lastly, we can’t forget about The Australian Bar and Restaurant in Midtown—the iconic goto when you want a parma [chicken Parmesan] or meat pie paired with live Australian sport.”

Barbecue is a big deal in Brazil, according to Marco Antonio Nakata, the country’s deputy consul general in New York.

Servers cut a staggering array of beef tableside, and diners can also hit the buffet for salads, sides and fixins.

For the most genuine Brazilian barbecue experience here, Nakata makes a reservation at Fogo de Chão, across from the Museum of Modern Art. “When I’m there, I feel that I’m in a steak house in Brazil,” he says. “It has the right atmosphere and interior design.”

But when Nakata craves something lighter (say, Brazil’s beloved cheese bread snack, pão de queijo), he pops into Padoca, a Brazilian bakery on the Upper East Side. And when he’s looking for Brazilian home cooking (and the warm hospitality of his motherland), he chooses Casa in the West Village.

“Casa uses decorations from Brazil. The furniture, the color of the walls and everything reminds me of a traditional Brazilian home,” he says. Plus, the chef there prepares Brazil’s national dish, feijoada, a black bean stew that might just be the ultimate comfort food for Brazilian expats.

INDONESIA Most Indonesian immigrants to New York have made Queens their home, which is exactly why Annisa Tyas Purwanti, Indonesia’s consul for consular affairs, heads to this diverse borough when she yearns for the country’s spicy fried foods.

IN NEW YORK | NOVEMBER-DECEMBER 2019 | INNEWYORK.COM

“We’re a nation of foodies, and food is the lifeblood of every social gathering or life event,” she says. “Don’t be surprised that each Indonesian has their own strongly championed favorite dish or vendor.”

This Indonesian’s favorites include Awang Kitchen, Asian Taste 86 Halal Indonesian Fusion and Upi Jaya. “From Awang Kitchen my go to-is always the crispy fried duck or chicken, with green chili sambal. It’s Indonesian-style fried chicken, so it’s been marinated and steamed with spices and then fried,” says Purwanti.

“From Asian Taste 86, I love the grilled fish and the steamed fish dumplings and veggies with peanut sauce,” she continues. “And from Upi Jaya, [I get] Indonesia’s most iconic dishes, beef rendang and saté padang.”

JAPAN Sushi, tempura, ramen and even okonomiyaki—Japanese foods are everywhere in New York. So which spots serve authentic Japanese cuisine?

“Sakagura and Jukai,” says Yusuke Mizoroki, consul of the economic division at the Consulate General of Japan, referring to two restaurants in Midtown East. “I find these restaurants are really cozy [and] a good way to feel Japan itself.”

He typically orders seafood dishes and washes them down with complementary sake when he’s feeling homesick.

But it’s not just the cuisine that makes him feel at home—it’s the hospitality, especially the ritual of the oshibori [wet towel] offered to diners to clean their hands before the meal.

ESTONIA Estonian cuisine is rooted in its famous black rye bread.

Known as leib, the hearty bread is served at most meals with cultured butter. The simplicity of the crispy crust and fermented flavor is deeply satisfying.

When Kairi Künka, Estonian consul general, longs for leib (or home in general), she heads to Estonian House, a cultural center with a bar and restaurant in Murray Hill.

“First and foremost, it’s the people [at Estonian House who] give you a taste of home. [But] it also provides the most popular staples of Estonian cuisine,” she says.

In December, Künka looks forward to trying the holiday specialties at the restaurant. “The Christmas menu with sauerkraut, blood sausage and potatoes is a family favorite,” she adds.

PORTUGAL When Portuguese Consul General Maria de Fátima Mendes, a self-proclaimed “sweet tooth,” longs for a pastel de nata, a traditional Portuguese egg custard tart, in New York, she turns to Joey Bats Café on Allen Street. “The pastel de nata is Joe’s mother’s recipe, and it’s delicious and crusty,” she says.

But when the diplomat finds herself missing the savory side of Portuguese cuisine, she’s found a few restaurants in New York with top-notch menus. “For dinner, Aldea by Chef George Mendes creates haute cuisine from original Portuguese recipes, with an innovative approach,” she says of the upscale restaurant that has earned a Michelin star for traditional dishes like arroz de pato (rice with duck) and shrimp with corn porridge.

Mendes also recommends Taberna 97, a tavern that offers Portuguese-style tapas. Diners can choose from small, flavorpacked plates like smoked firewater-grilled sausage, jumbo shrimp sautéed with garlic and white wine, and cod fritters.

MEXICO In the six years Carlos Gerardo Izzo, Mexican consul for public affairs, has been posted in New York City, he’s had a chance to try a lot of the city’s Mexican restaurants.

“The first thing I think of when I’m homesick is tacos. So I go to Taco Mix in East Harlem. It’s really rustic, and it has tacos al pastor, made like a gyro,” he says. “I also like La Chula, in the heart of Spanish Harlem, where the trays are made of tin.”

When he wants a more elaborate Mexican meal, Cosme is his restaurant of choice. The sleek spot in the Flatiron District earned the highest ranking among U.S. restaurants on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list this year.

And finally, when he wants a fun, unfussy place to sip margaritas and crunch on chips and guac after a day at the consulate, he grabs a seat at the bar at La Pulperia, a Latin fusion restaurant on the Upper East Side. “La Pulperia has the best margaritas and sangria,” he says. “But it’s not the food that reminds me most of Mexico—it’s the warmth of the Mexican people working there. Food is just the excuse.”

A major new exhibition turns the spotlight on Broadway’s most protean talent, the late Harold Prince.

By Harry Haun YEAR IN AND YEAR OUT, theater-savvy visitors to New York routinely pounce on the same 13 blocks of magical real estate called Broadway. That’s all well and good, but now and through the end of March, they’ll want to cast a wider net—one that stretches north 13 more blocks to The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center, where a free and fascinating exhibit is currently in full sway. It’s titled “In the Company of Harold Prince: Broadway Producer, Director, Collaborator.”

The exhibition opens with a replica of Prince’s office.

The young Hal Prince—everybody called him Hal, referencing Shakespeare’s Prince Hal—at work.

IN NEW YORK | NOVEMBER-DECEMBER 2019 | INNEWYORK.COM

Prince was all of those things—in spades! He produced the original productions of “Damn Yankees” (1955), “West Side Story” (1957), “Fiorello!” (1959), “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” (1962), “Fiddler on the Roof” (1964) and “Zorba” (1968). He directed “She Loves Me” (1963), “Company” (1970), “Follies” (1971), “Sweeney Todd” (1979), “Show Boat” (1994), “Parade” (1998) and his “current hit”—still running majestically after 32 years (and counting) at Broadway’s Majestic Theatre— “The Phantom of the Opera” (1988).

Some of these he produced with his left hand and directed with his right. His collaborations were so profound and transformative on shows like “Cabaret” (1966), “Pacific Overtures” (1976) and “Evita” (1979), he was as much of an auteur as the people who wrote them.

In one capacity or another, Prince brought 59 shows to town, and they brought him 21 Tonys—eight for directing, eight for producing the year’s Best Musical, two as Best Producer of a Musical and three special awards. Put them all together, and that makes him the all-time Tony Award champ. Bashful but practical, he feared that, once this awesome, untouchable total got out, he would never win another—and he didn’t.

But, in short, it’s no exaggeration to say that, for 60-plus years, Hal Prince was Broadway.

Doug Reside, curator for the library’s Billy Rose Theatre Division, threw this elaborate installation together in three

years’ time. It helped being a lifelong fan of Prince’s work and having The Great Man on hand to run things by him.

Prince was pleased with the library’s work and expected the exhibition to be exciting and theatrical. But it’s the one opening he didn’t make. He died on July 31, 2019, at age 91, 50 days before it opened.

In the artifice assembled—miniature sets, original costumes, and archival video and audio of Prince’s work—Reside strives to show how Prince encouraged and inspired designers, actors, composers and writers, unifying all in a common goal.

“He talked about how he realized the need to be present with his collaborators,” Reside recalls. “For ‘Kiss of the Spider Woman’ in 1995, [composer and lyricist] John Kander and Fred Ebb rewrote several numbers, as one does during the process. I think just having him there to respond to the work was really important to them, as it was with all of his collaborators. He would give very, very detailed notes—not just to writers but also to the actors and designers. He was always very, very interested in design.”

For example, Prince asked scenic designer Boris Aronson to present set models for “Company,” “A Little Night Music” (1973) and “Pacific Overtures” first so Stephen Sondheim and the various librettists would have an idea of how to proceed with the music and story. “I was fascinated to see the first meeting for a show always [began] with them looking at set models, often before the score was complete or even written,” says Reside. “Hal had a visual approach to directing.”

But Broadway, whether you’re a director or a producer, is a gamble. Ruth Mitchell, Prince’s associate producer, reminded him of it when she gave him a roulette wheel of his show titles. It’s the exhibition’s centerpiece.

In 1948, Prince bolted out of the University of Pennsylvania, full of energy and with letters of recommendation that

“The Phantom of the Opera” is the longest-running show in Broadway history.

eventually got him a job in the theater—first as an assistant stage manager for “Tickets, Please!” and “Call Me Madam” in 1950, then three years later as a full-time stage manager on “Wonderful Town” and finally as co-producer of “The Pajama Game” in 1954. The rest, as they say, is history.

Richard Bissell’s 1953 novel “Say, Darling” about turning another of his novels, “7½ Cents,” into “The Pajama Game” became an Abe Burrows/Jule Styne 1958 play with music, also titled “Say, Darling,” and Prince became a character in it—a hotshot young producer, daftly dispatched by actor Robert Morse. “Initially, Hal may have been a bit offended by it,” says Reside, “but he came to realize it was fun, and he thought it might be nice to have [an Al] Hirschfeld caricature of the character in the exhibition.”

The first stop on this exhibit is a replica of the office Prince shared with his first co-producer, Robert Griffith. On the door, over their names in a protective arc, are the words George Abbott. Prince couldn’t have had a better mentor than theatrical giant Abbott, but they didn’t always agree.

There’s a video of Kander and Ebb and Liza Minnelli talking about how director Abbott was adamantly opposed to her as their “Flora, the Red Menace” in the 1965 musical of that name. Producer Prince sweet-talked Abbott, who ultimately embraced the idea. And a star (Minnelli) was born.

As you journey through the library’s Princeland, gently wafting around in the background are lilting, surging, subliminal Sondheim sounds—sometimes the “Follies” pro-

logue, sometimes the “Night Waltz” from “A Little Night Music.” On personal loan from actress Patti LuPone is a floral print dress she wore in “Evita.” Exhibition designer Caitlin Whittington, who positioned the myriad of props within the gallery and says it’s the largest number of artifacts the library has attempted, found a place of prominence for the boat that the Phantom uses to negotiate the underground Paris sewers. Variations of it have played all the key capitals of the world, but this particular one is docked in the library from a freshly wrapped Australian production.

After an interview spanning his whole career, Prince phoned me with a crucial postscript. He wanted to make sure “The Phantom of the Opera” didn’t get short shrift in my article. “It’s the show that made all of this possible,” he said.

On the day of his death, and for several weeks thereafter, the Majestic Theatre’s marquee had a commemorative red rose resting under its iconic white mask logo. As long as the Phantom roams the catacombs of the globe, the legacy of Harold Prince lives on.
