War Horse composer Hector berlioz, the firebrand of the romantic movement, was at heart a classicist. He revered Virgil and Shakespeare, finding inspiration for operas in works by both. Les Troyens (right), his grand retelling of the Trojan war based on Virgil’s Aeneid, has been given a spectacular, five-hour production by the metropolitan opera. onstage are a cast of hundreds and two of opera’s reigning divas—soprano deborah Voigt as cassandra and mezzo-soprano Susan Graham as dido—interpreting two of the most challenging roles in the French canon. » Metropolitan Opera house at Lincoln center, columbus ave., btw w. 63rd & w. 64th sts., 212. 362.6000, dec. 13, 17, 21, 26, 29

Contemporary choreographer Russell Maliphant is intensely interested in sculpture, especially the sculpture of Auguste Rodin. It was in the Musée Rodin in Paris that the idea for his latest work, The Rodin Project (right), came to him. “I felt there were so many qualities in his figures—the tension, the line, the flow—that I could use in dance,” he has said. But what about the weight of these massive bronzes? For Maliphant, that meant creating a vocabulary of movement, drawn in part from hiphop and that form’s characteristic low center of gravity and exaggerated twists.

Capoeira, the Brazilian martial art, also informs the language. And more elements will be added, for The Rodin Project is an ever-evolving work in progress. » Russell Maliphant: The Rodin Project, Joyce Theater, 175 Eighth Ave., 212.242.0800, Dec. 5-9

behind the curtain news » by Francis Lewis

The role of Masha in Christopher Durang’s new OffBroadway comedy, Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, would seem to be tailor-made for Sigourney Weaver (far left, with Genevieve Angelson and David Hyde Pierce). Masha is a globe-trotting movie star, something Weaver can definitely relate to, having filmed in such faraway places as the Philippines (The Year of Living Dangerously), Rwanda (Gorillas in the Mist)—and outer space (Alien, its three sequels and Avatar). She and Durang have known each other since drama school at Yale; so, did the playwright’s famous actress friend inspire the flamboyant Masha? Yes, a fact that Weaver finds just “slightly frightening.”

Much less frightening is her evident pleasure in performing live onstage: “I really enjoy the intimacy of working in the theater, with the opportunity to look into the audience.” » Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater, Lincoln Center, 150 W. 65th St., 212.239.6200

A Mean Green One As Kermit the Frog famously lamented, “it’s not easy being green.” Well, now there’s someone who can share your pain, Kermit. The Grinch, in the person of actor Jeff McCarthy in Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical (below), has moved into town for the holidays. The green giant’s costume, designed by Robert Morgan, was “a lot to digest at first,” McCarthy admits. It can take him an hour and a half to dress and get into full makeup. A foam-rubber and spandex bodysuit creates The Grinch’s pear shape and bulbous stomach. Over that goes a fur coat, made of a material so sheer you can almost see hair growing out of the skin. Then come a cowl, wig, shoes and gloves. The pointy shoes are potentially hazardous, if he doesn’t watch his step.

Still, The Grinch’s garb is “less inhibiting” than that worn by McCarthy as The Beast in Beauty and the Beast on Broadway. “It weighed 20 pounds and would eventually get 15 pounds heavier with sweating.” » Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas!

The Musical, The Theater at Madison Square Garden, Seventh Ave., btw W. 31st & W. 33rd sts., 866.858.0008

Learning Curve “Working onstage is the 10-mile run to the short walk of working on TV,” says Chris Bauer (right), who is spending his hiatus from True Blood, the HBO series in which he plays Sheriff Andy Bellefleur, keeping fit in the world premiere of Melissa James Gibson’s What Rhymes With America. Why Off-Broadway now?

“It’s not about showing the audience how good of an actor I am,” he insists. “It’s about letting a play sing its song through me.” And this play’s song is “tough like a bare-knuckle boxer.” Bauer’s character, Hank, is estranged from his 17-year-old

daughter; his marriage has failed; he can’t find work as an economist. Yet the play’s emotional atmosphere is “humane, full of longing and a desperate desire to connect. I learn so much from inhabiting folks like Hank and Sheriff Bellefleur, people who have been unable to transcend their fears or insecurities to the detriment of their broader lives. It’s humbling.” » What Rhymes With America, Atlantic Theatre Company, The Linda Gross Theater, 336 W. 20th St., 212.279.4200

Where do you go when you’ve got a hankering for cuttlefish with carrots and zucchini? Oxtail with truffled mashed potatoes? Endives with blue cheese, oranges, walnuts and cream?

How about papas bravas (fried potatoes with spicy dipping sauce), assorted chorizos, salchichón and serrano ham, all washed down with a nice glass of rioja? You could hop a flight to Spain, or you could head to Lizarran (above), the Rockefeller Center area branch of a Spanish chain (with more than 200 international locations), where tapas (cold and hot), cheeses, cured meats, salads and pintxos are las especialidades de la casa. The casual, congenial setting is conducive to lively conversation over pitchers of sangria and plates of yummy finger food, as well as more traditional meals of paella, meat and chicken, rice and pastas. » Lizarran, 11 W. 51st St., 646.998.4351

In Living Color A host of metal, brightly hued butterflies flutter up from the pages of a book. Four bronze letters, painted with cheerful daisies and stars, twist themselves into the word “love.” Audrey Hepburn’s winsome face is set against a shocking pink background. Such creations characterize the inventory of Eden Fine Art, a gallery that specializes in vibrant, colorful works, from Israeli and other international painters, sculptors and photographers. “The focus here is happy art,” as Director Guy Vardi likes to say. “Happy art” doesn’t necessarily translate as “carefree art,” however. Influenced by his studies of scripture, painter Yoel Benharrouche explores how the spiritual meshes with the material in works such as “Le Sens de la Profondeur de l’Ame,” or “A Sense of the Soul’s Depth” (left, 2012), for example—a portrait of a violinist so absorbed in music that her hair even seems to curl in the shape of a treble clef. » Eden Fine Art, 437 Madison Ave., 212.888.0177

culture clash known as the ultravelvet collection, two artists who specialize in photomontage make their nyc exhibit debut with sex invaders. it’s a provocative title, and several of the works live up to it, with pac-man video game images or darth vader-like helmets superimposed over scantily clad ladies. “what we’re doing is merging our adult and childhood fantasies,” explains eric hajjar, one half of the team. the theme of dual identity also permeates the show: several pictures display duplicate images of a female figure, as in “prism twins” (right, 2012).

» Hionas Gallery, 89 Franklin st, 212.274.9003, thru Dec. 29

Opposites Attract Ken Fandell loves contrasts. “I’m always drawing from the same conceptual toolbox—large and small, high and low, [then pairing them] so that these two things fight against each other,” the Chicago-based artist says. Such dichotomies flourish in the 30-odd digital photographs, arranged in three series, in his current exhibition, Lasers, Fog, Crystals, Waves, and Grids (lengthy show titles being another Fandell characteristic). In one series, “Lasers” (left, 2012), rainbow-hued beams punctuate a pitch-black space. For “Grids,” the artist repeatedly crushed a piece of graph paper, distorting the symmetrical perfection of its lines into irregular shapes. And in the collage “Crystals and Waves,” hard, fixed crystalline specimens sit atop white-capped parabolas of water. » Tomlinson Kong Contemporary, 270 Bowery, 212.966.3566, thru Dec. 21

INSIDE FINE ART GALLERY HASTED KRAEUTLER SARAH HASTED & JOSEPH KRAEUTLER

Owners of Hasted Kraeutler, a contemporary art gallery that is located in the heart of New York’s Chelsea art district. Sarah and Joseph share their favorite art works from the gallery’s current exhibition with photographer, Albert Watson & from this year’s previous exhibitions with photographer, Nick Brandt and painter, Kim Dong Yoo.

Kim Dong Yoo Installation view

ALBERT WATSON Artist Albert Watson, with Sarah Hasted and Joseph Kraeutler

Albert Watson is a world famous photographer. The photographs in this solo exhibition celebrate the 20th anniversary of Cyclops (Callaway Editions, 1994), which was the artist’s first major monograph. Cyclops will display unique vintage platinum and silver prints by the artist, spanning 40 years of the photographer’s career, including iconic celebrity portraits, such as Mick Jagger, Los Angeles, 1992, Kate Moss, Marrakech, Morocco, 1993 (below) and Alfred Hitchcock, Los Angeles, 1973.

NICK BRANDT Nick Brandt’s photographs feature 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 from the exhibition start at $4,500.

Hasted Kraeutler is open to the public Tuesday - Saturday, 11 am - 6 pm.

The Sporting Life This isn’t your typical sports bar. Bounce Sporting Club brings an upscale air—and a touch of discotheque—to a night spent watching the game. This 4,000-square-foot haven of dance and drinks, complete with a DJ booth that blasts weekend beats, has something for all species of fanatics: From football to basketball to boxing, you’re bound to find the game you’re looking for on any of the 30 flat screens on the premises. Black-and-white photos, depicting sports clubs of yesteryear, line antiqued oak walls while horseshoe-shaped, red leather booths accommodate those seeking bottle service. To ensure you keep your head in the game, the back wall of the bar (left) is designed to emulate an outfield scoreboard. Just arrive early to beat the cheering crowds, or you’ll have to argue with the umpire—er, bouncer. » Bounce Sporting Club, 55 W. 21st St., 212.675.8007

Ever imagine yourself sitting before a roaring fireplace, strong drink in hand, in an elegantly decorated parlor? 1 Oak (below), a swanky and exclusive Chelsea lounge, just may be your cup of tea (or whiskey, rather). After passing through a coat-check corridor with sprawling script engraved on the walls, patrons step into a space with raw oak ceilings and black-and-white zigzag flooring. You can order a cocktail at the black lacquered bar before getting comfortable in an ostrich-leather banquette or retreating to the burning hearth housed in the corner. An outdoor patio, partly enclosed by mirrored walls, serves as a smoker’s sanctuary. After a night here, you just may decode the spot’s namesake acronym: 1 Oak aims to deliver a “one-of-a-kind” experience. » 1 Oak, 435 W. 17th St., 212.242.1111

from Depression era dramas to sunny musicals, revivals rule on Broadway this season. a look at some of the hottest return engagements.

The sensual, fierce yet vulnerable Maggie the Cat, heroine of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, has always been a plum part for an actress.

roadway is in the grip of full-blown revival fever.

Among the most obvious symptoms of this heat wave: Scarlett Johansson arrives in a new revival of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. The curvaceous blonde, whose plump-lipped smile and creamy skin have hypnotized audiences in films such as Lost in Translation (2003) and Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008), steams up the stage as the slip-clad Maggie the Cat, the play’s heroine. Simultaneously seductive and vulnerable, fighting to both hold on to her sexually unresponsive husband and ensure his inheritance, Maggie is one of the most vibrant characters in the American theater canon—and catnip for ambitious actresses ever since Barbara Bel Geddes originated the role in 1955.

Since then, every generation has had its iconic Maggie: Elizabeth Ashley (1974), Kathleen Turner (1990) and Ashley Judd (2003) have starred in subsequent revivals on Broadway. And, of course, there is the 1958 film version, which featured the reigning Hollywood beauty of that era, Elizabeth Taylor.

Like Taylor in her lifetime, Johansson has made a smooth transition from child to teen to adult roles. Now, having just turned 28, she is arguably

in her physical prime, just as Taylor was when she portrayed Maggie on the big screen. However, “I never wanted to be a sex symbol, I wanted to be a character actor. Those are the ones that I admire,” says the New York City native. “I think women that are curvy can be pigeonholed in that bombshell thing.” Indeed, Johansson deliberately went against “that bombshell thing” for her Broadway debut two years ago, dyeing her golden tresses dark brown to play a working-class, Italian-American girl in a revival of Arthur Miller’s A View From The Bridge.

That performance, for which she won a Tony Award, led to this production of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (Richard Rodgers Theatre, 226 W. 46th St., 877.250.2929), which begins previews Dec. 18.

Director Rob Ashford says he was so blown away by Johansson’s stage power in the Miller play, he hoped he’d get the opportunity to work with her one day. It seems the theater gods were listening:

Evita

1979

Ashford shares the same agent with Johansson, and, knowing of the actress’ desire to play Maggie, the agent suggested that his two clients have a conversation. With the star aligned, the revival became reality—although Ashford, who describes himself as “a Southern boy and a huge Tennessee Williams fan,” points out that the playwright’s steamy Southern Gothic stew (which has had almost as many Broadway lives as its titular feline) certainly deserves yet another mounting on its own merits. “What is so beautiful about Tennessee’s writing is the poetry ... the poetry as well as the pain,” the director says.

Cat is just one of several vintage shows currently making a Broadway comeback. Of course, revivals have always figured strongly on New York City stages: The 1996 edition of Chicago (Ambassador Theatre, 219 W. 49th St., 212.239.6200) is still playing—and it has not only surpassed the 1975 original’s two-year

2012

South American authenticity is the watchword for the current revival of Evita, the Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice musical about Argentina’s First Lady, from the score’s new arrangements to its Latino stars.

run, it also has the distinction of being the longest-running American musical in Broadway history. Last season’s revival of Evita (Marquis Theatre, 1535 Broadway, 877.250.2929), about the notorious 1940s First Lady of Argentina, is also still going strong.

According to director Michael Grandage, the new production was requested by the 1979 musical’s composer, Andrew Lloyd Webber.

“Andrew thought there were possibly two generations of people who had never seen Evita onstage,” recalls Grandage. “He wanted us to come up with a vision that allowed a new audience an opportunity to see the production in a new way.” The focus of this revival, he explains, is “authenticity,” which is enhanced by new Latin American arrangements for the score, a scenic design that evokes the architecture of Buenos Aires and the casting of Argentinean actress Elena Roger as Evita and Latin superstar Ricky Martin as the show’s narrator, Che. Even so, this seems to be a particularly rich season for revivals—for a variety of reasons.

As with Cat, The Heiress (Walter Kerr Theatre, 219 W. 48th St., 212.239.6200, thru Feb. 10, 2013), a 1947 drama by Ruth and Augustus Goetz based on the Henry James novel Washington Square, has a healthy dose of star power in its current incarnation. Jessica Chastain (The Help) makes her Broadway debut as Catherine Sloper, a plain but wealthy young woman caught between her domineering father (David Strathairn) and the first lover she’s ever had (Downton Abbey heartthrob Dan Stevens). Despite its 1850 setting, Chastain feels “the story’s very relevant because throughout history, women have been defined by the men in their lives. Catherine in the beginning of the play is defined by her father, and then she’s defined by her suitor. At the end, she sets boundaries and she’s defined by herself. And I’m really moved by that.”

The interest of a star performer, combined with a suddenly timely text, became the driver for a new presentation of Glengarry Glen Ross (Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, 236 W. 45th St., 212.239.6200, thru Jan. 20, 2013), says the revival’s producer, Jeffrey Richards. A while back, he and playwright David Mamet were talking about the way the recent mortgage-industry crisis has lent an all-too-painful relevance to Mamet’s cynical 1984 dog-eat-

dog drama about real estate salesmen. The playwright subsequently floated the idea of a revival to Al Pacino, who was filming a Mamet-scripted docudrama at the time—and who of course had starred in the 1992 film version of Glengarry. Pacino’s presence clinched the deal, as a Mamet character might say, and is proving a selling point to audiences (“Pacino Glengarry Mamet” as the posters proclaim). Those with fond cinematic memories may be interested to learn that Pacino has a different part in the revival— that of a failing elder salesman, Shelly Levene; his movie character, Ricky Roma, the office hotshot, is played by Bobby Cannavale (currently embodying psychopathic gangster Gyp Rosetti in the HBO series Boardwalk Empire).

Screen beauty Jessica chastain deglamorizes herself in her broadway debut as The Heiress.

Though set in 1850, the costume drama’s theme of a woman defined by the men in her life remains relevant today, the actress feels.

11/12/12 10:34:44 AM

In contrast to these starry vehicles, the play’s the thing at OffBroadway’s Signature Theatre, whose mission is to celebrate playwrights and writers. Along with the late August Wilson’s The Piano Lesson, the company is currently reviving David Henry Hwang’s Golden Child (Pershing Square Signature Center, 480 W. 42nd St., 212.244.7529, thru Dec. 16). Hwang has taken the opportunity to rewrite the opening and closing scenes of his 1998 work, which was inspired by the life of his maternal grandmother—whose father decided to convert to Christianity in 1918 China, causing turmoil among his family. “I feel the show got short shrift when it [originally] played on Broadway,” says Hwang. “I’m hoping that this is a new, improved version of the play.”

Reappreciation is also the motivating factor behind Lincoln Center Theater’s production of Clifford Odets’ Golden Boy (Belasco Theatre, 111 W. 44th St., 212.239.6200, thru Jan. 20, 2013), at the same theater where the original premiered 75 years ago.

Artistic Director André Bishop says LCT’s acclaimed 2006 production of Odets’ Awake and Sing! made

them “hungry” to do more of the playwright’s work. “The specific Odets language, the colorful street vernacular, the deep emotions, the fervent Americanism, the idealism and the loneliness that exists in us all: These are permanent themes of his work, and they are just as meaningful now as they were then,” Bishop explains. And the dilemma of Golden Boy’s Depression Era hero—whether he can afford to follow his dream (becoming a violinist) when he has a chance to make ready money (by becoming a prizefighter)— strikes a resonant chord in these recessionary times.

Commemorating a milestone premiere was also the rationale for the return of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (Booth Theatre, 222 W. 45th St., 212.239.6200, thru Feb. 24, 2013), even though Edward Albee’s lacerating love/hate story of a middle-aged couple had been revived only seven years ago on the Great White Way. This production celebrates the show’s 50th anniversary and, in fact, opened on the same month and day (Oct. 13) the original did back in 1962. Meanwhile, sexual sparks fly among adolescents in the Roundabout Theatre Company’s revival of Picnic (American Airlines Theatre, 227 W. 42nd St., 212.719.1300, thru Feb. 24, 2013). Director Sam Gold, himself a wunderkind in the New York theater world, contends that the 1953 work by William Inge is “a beautiful, romantic and often extremely funny portrait of the

dreams that burn in the young, and also an uncompromising exploration of how those dreams drive you to make choices that will have shattering impact on the rest of your life.”

It’s not all straight plays, though: Musicals are coming in for revivals, too. For producer Arielle Tepper Madover, bringing back Annie (Palace Theatre, 1554 Broadway, 877.250.2929) was first and foremost a labor of love. She was 8 years old when her grandmother took her to see the original production, which opened in 1977, about an indefatigable orphan’s adventures. “It was my first Broadway show and it was incredible to see all these girls who were my age singing and dancing,” Madover recalls. “Being an only child, I loved the idea that these girls had grown up as sisters.

It changed my life”—getting her hooked on the theater and leading to her decision in college to embark on a producer’s career (with Annie on her “must-do-someday” list of shows).

Unlike Annie, which ran for nearly six years on Broadway, and is frequently produced around the country, The Mystery of Edwin Drood (Studio 54, 254 W. 54th St., 212.719.1300, thru Feb. 10, 2013) hasn’t been seen in New York since it won the 1985 Tony Award for Best Musical in 1986. Drood is based on a novel by Charles Dickens—his last novel; the author, in fact, died before finishing it (and resolving the mystery of the title character’s disappearance). So composer/librettist Rupert Holmes devised an inge-

Producer Arielle Tepper Madover saw the original production of Annie (left, with Reid Shelton and Kristi Coombs) as a child, and now has brought the show about the plucky orphan back to Broadway (right, with Lilla Crawford and Anthony Warlow).

nious series of multiple endings for the show, which takes place within a Victorian music hall: At each performance, the audience votes on which character dispatched poor Drood, and the cast then acts out that version. “It’s very much a celebration of the collaboration between audiences and actors that has been taking place since theater began,” Holmes says. “It’s really about putting on a show.” Though an ensemble piece, this revival promises a star turn from beloved Broadway veteran Chita Rivera, playing Princess Puffer, a nefarious opium den owner.

The strong slate of return engagements this month has developed from a variety of factors, from a bankable star’s interest to a plot’s contemporary relevance to the fact that, as Glengarry Glen Ross and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf producer Jeffrey Richards notes, “You have to seize the opportunity to do first-class productions of great works of the American theater, whenever you get the chance.” And that’s as good a reason as any to bring back a favorite play or musical. After all, a revival for one generation is a brand-new experience for the next.

Gramercy Park Hotel

All Is Fair A terrific strategy for saving time and energy when buying presents for all the people on your list is to head to the special holiday fairs and pop-up gift bazaars around town, according to Austin Herzing, concierge at the Gramercy Park Hotel. “You can find a diverse array of handcrafted, one-of-a-kind gifts in one place,” he explains. Vendors at the Columbus Circle Holiday Market sell everything from jewelry to home accessories and toys. Bonus: It’s footsteps away from The Shops at Columbus Circle, where the atrium features a dozen 14-foot stars and a light show synchronized to holiday music until Jan. 2, 2013. Both the Grand Central Holiday Fair and the Holiday Shops at Bryant Park carry a large assortment of unique gifts for men, women and children, while items at Artists & Fleas, located inside Chelsea Market, are made exclusively by New York City craftspeople. For NYC-themed Christmas tree ornaments, the Union Square Holiday Market is your best bet, and “when shopping for foodies, The Plaza Food Hall is amazing,” notes Herzing. “The food is artfully displayed behind glass, like fine jewelry.”

TIPS FROM: In Williamsburg, Brooklyn—about 20 minutes from Austin Herzing, Concierge, Gramercy Manhattan on the L train—there’s the year-round Park Hotel, 2 Lexington Brooklyn Flea, where “many of the booths are manned Ave., 917.720.7514 by the artists themselves.

Trivia and tidbits on the city that never sleeps

Park Style Fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg has not only gifted more than $35 million to the High Line, but also created limited-edition tees, a gauze scarf (left) and other items emblazoned with “dreams come true on the High Line,” available at the High Line Merchandise Cart (W. 16th St. entrance).

Rhapsody in NYC Woody Allen opens his 1979 film Manhattan with these words: “Chapter One. He adored New York City.

He idolized it all out of proportion … No, make that: he, he romanticized it all out of proportion. Yes. To him, no matter what the season was, this was still a town that existed in black and white and pulsated to the great tunes of George

Book Bag As stunning and spectacular as its legendary subject matter, Windows of Bergorf Goodman (below, Assouline) is a hand-bound, slipcased collectors edition that comes with a complimentary canvas tote bag.

Heavy Crystal

Private Ice For the first time in

Music music everywhere / Happiness is in the air / Not a soul has got a care / “ Holiday in Harlem. / Up and down the avenue / you see faces old and new / With a smile that welcomes you / ‘Cause it’s holiday in Harlem.”

— Chick Webb, “Holiday in Harlem,” 1937 100
