Vegan Dinner Party

Broadway fairy tale coming to Grand Rapids

G

RAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Cinderella,” the 2013 To n y Aw a r d - w i n n i n g Broadway musical from the creators of “The King & I” and “The Sound of Music,” will play at DeVos Performance Hall for a limited engagement from Sept. 27 through Oct. 2.

Tickets for “Cinderella” are available now at the Broadway Grand Rapids box office at 122 Lyon St. NW or at the DeVos Performance Hall box office located at 303 Monroe Ave. NW. Tickets can also be purchased at all Ticketmaster outlets, by visiting www. broadwaygrandrapids. com, or by calling 1-800745-3000. Group orders of 10 or more may be placed by calling (616) 235-6285.

With its fresh new take on the beloved tale of a young woman who is transformed from a chambermaid into a princess, this hilarious and romantic Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Cinderella” combines the story’s classic elements — glass slippers, pumpkin and a beautiful ball along with some surprising twists.

More than just a pretty face with the right shoe size, this Cinderella is a contemporary figure living in a fairy tale setting.

She is a spirited young

woman with savvy and soul who doesn’t let her rags or her gowns trip her up in her quest for kindness, compassion and forgiveness. She longs to escape the drudgery of her work at home and instead work to make the world a better place. She not only fights for her own dreams, but forces the prince to open his eyes to the world around him and realize his dreams too.

“Cinderella” has music

by Richard Rodgers, lyrics

by Oscar Hammerstein II, a new book by Douglas Carter Beane and original book by Oscar Hammerstein II.

Originally directed by Mark Brokaw, the tour is directed by Gina Rattan and choreographed by Josh Rhodes. Music adaptation and arrangements are by David Chase and music supervision is by Valerie Gebert. Orchestrations are by Bill Elliott and are adapted from the original Broadway orchestrations by Danny Troob.

One of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s most popular titles, “Cinderella” was written for television — debuting in 1957 starring Julie Andrews. In 2013, the show made its long-overdue Broadway debut. Along with “Cin-

derella,” Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein’s legendary musicals include “Oklahoma!”, “Carousel,” “The King and I,” “South Pacific” and “The Sound of Music.”

Beane’s book for “Cinderella” blends masterfully with the musical’s cherished score with songs including “In My Own Little Corner,” “Impossible/It’s Possible,” “Ten Minutes Ago” and “Do I Love You Because You’re Beautiful?”

The creative team includes scenic design by Tony Award nominee Anna Louizos, costume design by six-time Tony Award-winner William Ivey Long, lighting design

by Tony Award-winner Kenneth Posner and sound design by Tony Award nominee Nevin Steinberg.

The “Cinderella” tour is produced by Work Light Productions. “Cinderella” was produced on Broadway by Robyn Goodman, Jill Furman, Stephen Kocis, Edward Walson, Venetian Glass Productions, The Araca Group, Luigi Caiola & Rose Caiola, Roy Furman, Walt Grossman, Peter May/Sanford Robertson, Glass Slipper Productions LLC/Eric Schmidt, Ted Liebowitz/ James Spry, Blanket Fort Productions and in association with Center Theatre Group.

Gordon Lightfoot to perform at Mendel Center

B

ENTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. — After 50 active years of hit song making and international album sales well into the multi-millions, esteemed singer-songwriter and musician Gordon Lightfoot resides with some very exclusive company atop the list of all-time greats. This iconic artist will perform selections from his vast song catalog at The Mendel Center Mainstage for one show only at 8 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 9 Among his immortal hits are “Early Morning Rain,” “If You Could Read My Mind,” “Carefree Highway,” “Sundown,” “(That’s What You Get) For Lovin Me,” “The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald,” “Cold On The Shoulder,” “Canadian Railroad Trilogy,” “Ribbon Of Darkness,” “Beautiful,” “Song For A Winter’s Night,” “Shadows,” “Rainy Day People,” “Did She Mention My Name,” and “Summertime Dream,” to name just a few.

This year is special for the legendary artist who has embarked upon a cross-country USA tour. The tour features his well-known hits as well as some deep album cuts for the die-hard fans. The songs are woven together with some of Lightfoot’s own behind the scenes stories and personal anecdotes about his historic 50-year musical career.

Lightfoot has recorded 20 albums and has five Grammy nominations.

His songs have been aired regularly for 50 years, earning him Radio Singles Chart Positions in North America achieved by few others. Lightfoot’s radio hits in the USA have earned five #1s, five Top 10s, and 13 Top 40 hits.

In Canada he has earned 16 #1s, 18 Top 10s, and 21 Top 40 hits.

Aside from his success in writing, singing, and performing his own music, Lightfoot’s songs have been recorded and performed by some of the greatest of all time including Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Jr., Marty Robbins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Judy Collins, Eric Clapton, Johnny Mathis, Anne Murray, Olivia Newton-John, Sarah McLachlan, Barbra Streisand, Peter Paul & Mary, Harry Belafonte, Jane’s Addiction, Richie Havens, Glen Campbell, Toby Keith, Alison Krauss, and George Hamilton IV. Lightfoot was recently inducted into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame which honored his role in defining the folk-pop sound of the 1960s and ‘70s.

In his native Canada, Lightfoot has been decorated with the highest honors bestowed to a civilian including the Governor’s General Award and the Companion to the Order of Canada honor of merit. He has also won 17 Juno Awards, Canada’s equivalent to the Grammy Awards. Lightfoot is a member of Canada’s Walk of Fame and The Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame.

TOURIST FOR A DAY

More to love Shipshewana Trading Place expands event offerings

S

HIPSHEWANA, Ind. — Beginning Oct. 1, Shipshewana Trading Place will expand the event offerings and venue by changing the use of the building that currently houses the Shipshewana Antique Mall.

Future plans for this facility will include special events operated by Shipshewana Trading Place, but will also be made available for rent to outside promoters and groups for other special happenings in the area.

With 31,000 square feet of space alone, this more than doubles the overall size available for events on the complex located on the West side of SR 5 to over 46,000 square feet of potential indoor and outdoor conference and event space. This complex will be inclusive of the Farmstead Inn & Conference Center, Expo Barn and Event Pavilion, all Shipshewana Trading Place properties.

The new plans already underway for this building in-

clude a special Saturday Antique Auction scheduled for March 4, 2017. This sale will be catalogued and focus on Re-purposed/Upcycled Items; Primitives; Mid-Century Modern; Decorative Arts & Antiques; Industrial; and Furniture, with at least one additional date being considered annually. Other new events, including the Fall Market Series will likely find their home in the newly named Farmstead Expo Barn as the venue is a perfect fit for indoor events just like these. In addition to the new series of Specialty Auctions and Pop-Up Markets, Shipshewana Trading Place will continue to hold their popularly attended Shipshewana Antique Markets at the Farmstead Event Pavilion.

“We are excited about the change for the use of this building and want to grow where we are strongest. Our employees have been doing this for years with our wellknown Midwest’s Largest Flea Market and Weekly Misc.
