Every Friday from 10:30pm till 2am, join hosts BRANDON CUTRELL (MAC & Bistro Award winner) and ALYSHA UMPHRESS (XL Star), as well as RAY FELLMAN (Captain Louie) at the piano, for this weekly party in the heart of Manhattan's theatre district. There is no cover charge and no minimum. Come and sing yourself as the mic is always open (only rule: your selection must be from a musical!), or sit back and enjoy a cocktail with friends. Located just blocks from the Great White Way, you never know who might drop in.
On Friday, October 20, we're pleased to welcome special guests, Drama Desk nominee Leslie Kritzer (The Great American Trailer Park Musical, Leslie Kritzer is Patti LuPone at Les Mouches, forthcoming Legally Blonde) as well as the cast of the upcoming benefit concert of Falsettoland, including Colin Hanlon (I Love You Because, Rent), and Michael Hunsaker (Listen to My Heart: The Music of David Friedman).
Leslie will be on hand to belt out a few numbers as only she can. As a special treat, all night long we'll be celebrating the music of William Finn. Fabulous prizes will be presented to the evening's best performances of Bill Finn's music; so dust off those CD's of Falsettos, In Trousers, Spelling Bee, Elegies, A New Brain…
The Laurie Beechman Theatre is located downstairs, within The West Bank Café, 407 West 42nd St at 9th Avenue. There is a full bar and bar menu available, and reservations are not necessary for this event.
LESLIE KRITZER was most recently seen by New York audiences at Joe's Pub in her one woman show, Leslie Kritzer is Patti LuPone at Les Mouches. Prior to her debut at Joe's Pub, Leslie was Pickles in The Great American Trailer Park Musical, for which she received a Drama Desk nomination and was called "Flat-out hilarious, a consistent source of off-kilter brilliance" by The New York Times. The Times hailed her as "A young dynamo with Judy Garland's chops, who has an electric stage presence and is deliciously goofy, eliciting perfectly timed laughter with a pliable face that rivals Jim Carrey's" upon her starring turn as Fanny Brice in the PaperMill Playhouse production of Funny Girl. Leslie has appeared on Broadway in Hairspray, Off-Broadway in Bat Boy and Godspell, on tour in Urinetown and regionally in Tell Me On A Sunday (Kennedy Center), Company (Pittsburgh CLO), Joseph…(Casa Manana), Babes in Arms (Goodspeed Opera House), Grease (PaperMill), Evita (Merry-Go-Round Playhouse), Richard Forman's Yiddisher Teddy Bears and Charles Mee's Wintertime (both at the Sundance Theater Lab) and at TheatreWorks in Palo Atlo in the world premiere of Vanities.

COLIN HANLON, who will be playing 'Whizzer' in Miracle House's upcoming benefit, will be on hand to sing a favorite William Finn song. Colin was most recently seen in the Off-Broadway production of I Love You Because, just released on CD. He has also appeared in the Broadway company of Rent. Regional credits include The Last Five Years, Tick, Tick, Boom!, and Peter Pan and Wendy. Colin is slated to reprise the role of 'Whizzer' at The George Street Playhouse this spring.

Other credits include Listen to My Heart: The Music of David Friedman (original cast recording) and the national tours of Ragtime and Chess. He was seen this summer in Sacramento Music Theatre's production of Aida (Radames). In addition, Michael is an accomplished composer/lyricist.

Hey there--
I host a weekly open-mic party at The Laurie Beechman Theatre at the West Bank Cafe (www.westbankcafe.com).

Anyone can get up and sing, though, so it's really fun. Some people are great, some people ar

JOY is having a party for JOY. There is no way for me to know who will be there and will not. The Duplex is not throwing the party, only providing the space. It's my understanding that everyone involved with the production has been invited to appear; since the theatre is right down the street, I would think many JOY people would be there.
If you know Ben Rimalower, the director, feel free to ask him. He's the one who told me about it (not The Duplex).

Oh, poor Mr. Roddick. Sadness abounding. Ray Fellman, Marianne Stegeland, Angelo Watler and I were at the Open on Tuesday night and witnessed Roddick's surprising and upsetting loss.
Ahh, well. He wins the prize for the cutest tennis player... though Rafael Nadal is pretty fine, too!
