ThE EnD OF ThE WORLD AS WE KnOW IT CABARETChristine Ebersole has captivated audiences on the Broadway stage, in television, film, and concert appearances. The End Of The World As We Know It Cabaret premiered this year at the Café Carlyle and received love letters from the critics! Ms. Ebersole’s most sensational cabaret show yet, she combines heartfelt family stories with a dash of political satire and an eclectic song list that includes “Another Winter in a Summer Town” from her Tony Award-winning performance in Grey Gardens, as well as a fast and brassy “Strike Up the Band,” a hilarious rendition of Noel Coward’s tongue-twisting “What’s Going to Happen to the Tots?,” thrilling turns at “Blow, Gabriel, Blow,” and “Johnny One Note,” and an exceptionally stunning “I Loves You, Porgy.”
Ms. Ebersole won two Tony Awards for Outstanding Actress in the roles of Edie Beale in the acclaimed Broadway musical Grey Gardens and Dorothy Brock in the revival of 42nd
Street. She has received virtually every Off-Broadway award, has made concert appearances at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and Boston’s Symphony Hall, and has released four CDs. This fall, Christine co-stars in TBS’ new comedy series “Sullivan & Son” as well as her recurring role in USA’s hit show “Royal Pains.”

is superb!”

FEATURInG ThE STARS OF BROADWAY’S JERSEY BOYSHear some of the greatest doo wop hits of our time by the “boys” who live it every night on Broadway. The Doo Wop Project is a homage to classic doo wop and the music that was inspired by that sound. Featuring songs by Randy & The Rainbows (“Denise”), Thurston Harris (“Little Bitty Pretty One”), The Skyliners (“Since I Don’t Have You”), The Capris (“Morse Code of Love”) and more, this roof-raising concert also will include doo wop spins on some classic contemporary songs. The boys will mix it up with personal stories about life in the business, particularly backstage at The August Wilson Theatre, home of Jersey Boys, where the idea for the Project was born.

RIOULT|$25
In an evening of RIOULT’s most celebrated, highly theatrical, and visually stunning dances, the company will perform works set to four distinctly different classical compositions.
Celestial Tides, set to Bach’s “Brandenburg Concerto No. 6” exemplifies RIOULT’s classic modern background with its sleek, athletic, and technically stunning movement. Like the universe, in perpetual motion yet balanced, the dancers create a mesmerizing and mysterious balance as they move in time and space.
In City, set to Bach’s “Sonata for Violin and Harpsichord No. 6 in G Major,” projections of a city progressively deconstruct and distort as the human drama unfolds on stage.
Les Noces, set to Stravinsky’s composition of the same name, revisits the concept of the marriage ritual with provocative movement and unabashed energy—this wedding will leave you breathless!
The evening concludes on a thrilling note with RIOULT’s bold and unexpected interpretation of Ravel’s famous musical score, Bolero. A perennial sensation among audiences and critics alike, perpetual motion and ever-changing patterns follow the composer’s lead in an unrelenting crescendo of energy. Bolero is a riveting tour de force that speaks to the essence of the music.
“he has met the
challenge of comparison
with George Balanchine.”
—Time Out new York
“Pascal Rioult, before
all, is one of the leaders
… his style blends an
acute sense of classical
structure with a profound
musical sensibility.”
—Le Temps, France
“Perhaps the most
adept and courageous
choreographer in
mainstream modern
dance today.”
—Backstage

Full-length Ballet in Four Acts
A full-scale production set to the music of Tchaikovsky, Swan Lake is a romantic tale of true love and forgiveness taken from Russian folklore and German legend. This enchanting story follows a heroic young prince as he labors to free the beautiful swan maiden from an evil sorcerer’s spell.
Filled with colorful costumes and backed by a sweeping score, Swan Lake is considered one of the greatest classical ballets of all time.
The Moscow Festival Ballet was founded in 1989 when the legendary principal dancer of the Bolshoi Ballet, Sergei Radchenko, sought to realize his vision of an independent company that would bring together the highest classical elements of the great Bolshoi and Kirov Ballet companies within the framework of Russian classical ballet. The Moscow Festival Ballet features 50 leading dancers from across Russia, along with stars of the Bolshoi and Kirov Ballets.

Godlight Theatre Company’s World Premiere ProductionOne Flew Over The Cuckoo’s nest|$20
Godlight Theatre Company presents the acclaimed adaptation of the iconic 20th century novel and basis for the Academy Award-winning film
A wickedly funny parable set in a mental ward, the play chronicles the head-on collision between its hell-raising, life-affirming hero Randle Patrick McMurphy and the totalitarian rule of Nurse Ratched. McMurphy swaggers into the mental ward and turns the place upside down, starting a gambling operation, smuggling in wine and women, and egging on the other patients to join him in open rebellion. But McMurphy’s revolution against Nurse Ratched and everything she stands for
quickly turns from sport to a fierce power struggle with shattering results.
Godlight Theatre Company won the Special Drama Desk Award for “consistent originality and excellence in dramatizing modern literature, and especially for the vibrant theatricality of its innovative productions.” The company has won national and international awards for its adaptations of Slaughterhouse-Five, Fahrenheit 451, A Clockwork Orange, and Blindness.

Alan Safier as George Burns in Say Goodnight Gracie|$20
Alan Safier stars in the hit Broadway play that invites you to spend a hilarious, heart-warming evening in the uplifting company of one of the world’s most beloved entertainers, George Burns. With vintage photographs and video clips from film and television performances, Say Goodnight Gracie brings George Burns’ fascinating story to life.
In Say Goodnight Gracie, we discover George stuck in limbo between this world and the next, until he gives the command performance of his lifetime for God. And so he does, looking back upon his impoverished, plucky youth on the Lower East Side of New York, his disastrous career in vaudeville, the momentous day when he met a fabulously talented young Irish girl named Grace Ethel Cecile Rosalie Allen, and their rise to the pinnacles of vaudeville, movies, radio, and television.

Unpredictable thrills, side-splitting comedy, and daredevil stunts are the signature style of Circo Comedia, starring the fantastic duo Jean Saucier and Patrick Cotè from Montreal. Following in the tradition of the Quebec Circus, master equilibrist, juggler, trick cyclist, acrobat, and magician Jean Saucier performs his feats from dizzying heights while Patrick Cotè, burlesque clown, expert roller skater, and drummer, innocently tries his best to be the (imperfect) assistant.
