NEW YORK

This was an unexpected perk: When the Where magazine offices moved to Midtown last December, I realized suddenly that I was in walking distance of Broadway. Which meant I was also in walking distance of all the restaurants in that area: No more mad rushes to pre-theater dinner, or having to forsake eating altogether for an early curtain. Case in point: “Amélie” was as quirky as I expected, and so I hit upon the perfect place: Coffeemania, whose name suggests a coffee bar rather than a full-blown restaurant, with flavorful Russian-influenced dishes. For Tennessee Williams’ drama, “The Glass Menagerie,” spicy salmon rolls from Haru Sushi lightened the evening. And for the marvelous musical portraying humanity at its best, “Come From Away,” Serafina offered an (almost) equally marvelous rigatoni Bolognese. Round of applause for all!

GIFTS FOR DAD

Shopping for Father’s Day? Joan Kaufman can help.

If you are on the hunt for some special dad gifts (Father’s Day is June 18), NYC personal shopper Joan Kaufman (whose clients include a Middle Eastern royal family, Fortune 500 executives and movie producers) is here to help. Start with Monocle, a cozy West Village shop with luxury apparel, accessories and paper goods. The wood-framed Revo Radio from the U.K. seems retro but is super-modern, with internet connection, Spotify and more. Turnbull & Asser, in Midtown, is a British-based luxury shop famed for its finishing details on its made-in-England shirts. (Kaufman also loves Turnbull & Asser’s pajamas.) At Jeffrey Rüdes, a contemporary Italian men’s store in SoHo, look for the black suede, double-breasted suit jacket and the 1960s-style leather and suede boots that will remind you of the Beatles.

And the Winner Should Be…

As a passionate theatergoer, I’ve picked my favorites for Broadway’s highest accolade, the Tony Award.

By Francis Lewis

22

WHE RE I A P R I L 2017

PHOTOS: THE TONY AWARD, COURTESY THE TONY AWARDS; “COME FROM AWAY,” MATTHEW MURPHY, 2016; “GROUNDHOG DAY” AND “SWEAT,” ©JOAN MARCUS, 2017

FOR 10 OR SO YEARS, I was a Tony Award voter—a privilege that I took seriously. Very seriously. My choices weren’t always in sync with those of my fellow voters (members of the press, producers and industry insiders), but that was OK: I voted as I saw fit.

Now, as an interested theatergoer free of all Tony obligations, I judge a Broadway play or musical not only on the basis of its artistic merits but also on how much bang for the buck it delivers. So, as the awards gala on June 11 at Radio City Music Hall nears, let me put on my Tony voter hat again. These are the shows and artists that, I believe, should win a Tony. More importantly, these are the shows and artists from the 2016–17 season that—win, lose or draw—deserve your time and dime.

But first, an observation. When the Tony nominations were announced on May 2, shock waves of disappointment could be felt from one end of the Theater District to the other. My main beefs? The total absence of recognition for “A Bronx Tale” and the dismissal of “Anastasia” and “Bandstand” with only two nods each. These are musicals with proven crowd appeal (standing ovations at every performance) and songs that, in a melodically unmemorable season, audiences walk out humming. They should have been contenders.

Those shows that are in the running for Best Musical—“Come From Away,” “Dear Evan Hansen,” “Groundhog Day” and “Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812” (with the season’s longest title and most nominations, 12)—are a mixed bag. This category usually draws the greatest attention, and certainly there is something for every theatergoer in this year’s nominees.

“The Great Comet,” a sweeping, romantic spectacle derived from Tolstoy’s “War and Peace,” makes capital of its literary credentials. “Groundhog Day” is a clever, fast-paced adaptation of a popular movie, featuring a magnetic performance by Andy Karl that puts him in the first rank of leading men. Karl should take home the Tony for Best Actor in a Musical. Millennials, if not always their elders (like me), enthusiastically embrace “Dear Evan Hansen,” the Great White Way’s first social-media musical.

As to “Come From Away,” it is the sleeper hit of the season. Fluidly staged, economic in its construction and consummately performed, the show is an unlikely musical. The plot follows planeloads of travelers, who are rerouted on 9/11 to a remote part of Canada, where they pick up the pieces of their lives with the help of sympathetic and generous locals. The

authors have based their characters on real-life people, focusing the narrative perhaps too narrowly on obvious stereotypes among the stranded passengers—the bickering gay couple, the rabbi, the Muslim, the romantic middle-aged twosome, the first female captain of a U.S. airline. But the cumulative effect is a resounding and joyous affirmation of the resilience of the human spirit. By the finale, the theater is awash in feel-good tears. This show gets my vote.

So does Lynn Nottage’s “Sweat,” in spite of fierce competition from “A Doll’s House, Part 2,” “Indecent” and “Oslo” in the Best Play category. Rarely does elitist Broadway hold the mirror up to how the other half— America’s working class—lives. “Sweat” is that wake-up call: a realistic, gut-wrenching, no-holds-barred, compassionate look at how Pennsylvania factory workers fall victim to circumstances beyond their control.

Nottage’s dialogue crackles as delivered by an exemplary cast, whose work proves that the time is long overdue for the Tonys to initiate an award for Best Ensemble. Until then, Michelle Wilson and Johanna Day have been singled out from the cast and are up against each other for Best Featured Actress in a Play honors. If it were up to me, they would share the award. Inexplicably, Kate Whoriskey, the play’s peerless coordinator, has been denied a Best Director nom.

Shame on the nominating committee.

In life, two things are certain: death and taxes. On Broadway, there is a third certainty: Bette Midler. The Divine Miss M is a shoo-in to win the 2017 Tony as Best Actress in a Musical for her turn in “Hello, Dolly!” Thanks to reams of critical acclaim, an outpouring of public affection and millions of dollars generated in ticket sales, the wind is beneath her wings. She will ascend to Mount Olympus on Tony night.

In the vast, eclectic expanse of New York City, where competition for entertainment is fierce, professional sports have long maintained a superstar status.

By Rich Fisher

WHE RE I J U N E 2017

Whether completely empty or packed with enthusiastic fans, a renowned athletic arena breathes a life of its own, much like a famous theater or historical landmark.

There is an immediate vibe upon entry. The memories produce tingles of excitement and nostalgia; the ghosts of greatness seem to call out.

OLD/NEW YANKEE STADIUM When the original Yankee Stadium opened in 1923, it was christened the House That Ruth Built because slugger Babe Ruth’s home-run prowess put enough cash in the coffers to construct it. Innumerable highlights would follow in the architectural masterpiece, which was the first stadium to feature three decks of grandstands. Over the years, it was identified by Monument Park; the legendary facade around the upper deck; and public address announcer Bob Sheppard’s

distinguished voice. When it closed in 2008, it had hosted 37 World Series. It was home to Hall of Fame royalty Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra and Mickey Mantle, and backdrop for iconic moments such as Gehrig’s tearful farewell speech.

The Derek Jeter-led Yanks immediately established a winning tradition in the new stadium by winning the 2009 World Series.

The updated version, built across the street from the original, maintained much the same look, but with added amenities. The Stadium also hosts the MLS New York City FC and college football’s Pinstripe Bowl.

SHEA STADIUM/CITI FIELD Opening in the shadow of the 1964 World’s Fair amid a new excitement in America, Shea Stadium reflected a young Mets team that had played its first two years in the old Polo Grounds. The Beatles invaded one year lat-

The venues where New York athletes play are so much more than mere stadiums, fields and courts. er, and other legendary rock bands graced the Flushing Meadows palace, as well as Pope John Paul II. Shea debuted on April 17, 1964 (the Mets lost to Pittsburgh, 4-3), featuring 21 escalators and a gigantic outfield scoreboard that provided information and entertainment. In 1981, a Big Apple Top Hat in centerfield began surfacing after each Mets homer. “The Amazin’” became hometown heroes when they won the World Series in 1969, a year that had started with Joe Namath and the Jets—another Shea tenant—shocking the world by winning Super Bowl III in Miami. In 1975, the Mets, Jets, Giants and Yanks played at Shea during Yankee Stadium’s renovation, marking the only year two MLB and NFL teams ever shared the same stadium. Citi Field, a shrine to NYC National League baseball, opened in 2009. Numerous clubs and restaurants, a food court and concessions provide good eats and refreshments. .

WEST SIDE TENNIS CLUB/USTA BILLIE JEAN KING NATIONAL TENNIS CENTER The US Open moved from Rhode Island to Forest Hill’s West Side Tennis Club in 1915. After moving to Philadelphia for three years, the Open returned in 1924 to a newly constructed West Side Tennis Club, a 15,000-seat U-shaped stadium with grass courts. In 1978, the event moved to Flushing Meadows-Corona Park as the USTA National Tennis Center opened near Shea Stadium. It was renamed in 2006 to honor tennis great Billie Jean King. The threestadium complex includes Arthur Ashe Stadium as the event’s main venue; there is also the Grandstand, which seats 6,000.

While the playing surface has changed from grass to clay to its current hard-court status, one constant has been outstanding play. The 21st century has belonged mainly to Venus and Serena Williams, sisters who each won two crowns between 1999 and 2002, beating each other in the finals one

time apiece. Serena has won four more since, including three from 2012 to 2014.

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN Sitting above the railroad tracks of Penn Station, Madison Square Garden has seen it all.

MSG, as it is called, has been known for years as the “mecca of basketball,” and yet the historic first Ali-Frazier fight took place there in 1971 with Frank Sinatra shooting ringside photos for Life magazine. Sinatra made his comeback “Main Event” televised concert there in 1974, while such historic shows as George Harrison’s Concert for Bangladesh, the post-9/11 Concert for New York City and the Concert for Sandy Relief also took center stage. The New York Rangers, Ringling Brothers Circus, Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show and four presidential conventions also called the Garden home, making it easy to see why it’s known as “The World’s Most Famous Arena.” With its famed concave ceiling, the current structure (the first was built in 1879) opened in 1968 at 4 Pennsylvania Plaza in Midtown. In college basketball circles, the Garden plays host to the St. John’s Red Storm, the NIT Final Four and the Big East Tournament. In the 1970 NBA finals, a frozen-in-time moment occurred when injured captain Willis Reed hobbled from the locker room and made his first two shots in Game 7 as the Knicks beat the Lakers for their first NBA championship. The 1993 playoff series with the Bulls produced “The Dunk,” when John Starks threw down a ferocious left-handed slam over Michael Jordan and Horace Grant. The Knicks lost the 1994 finals to Houston in seven games as MSG became part of one of the most bizarre television nights in American history. As Game 5 unfolded, O.J. Simpson went on his low-speed freeway chase with the Los Angeles police.

NBC affiliates began running split-screen coverage of both the game and the chase taking place 3,000 miles away.
