I Love You Because Songwriters Get Benefit Concert Spotlight Aug. 21
By Kenneth Jones
14 Aug 2006

Ryan Cunningham and Joshua Salzman, the creative team of Off-Broadway's I Love You Because, are the featured songwriters in the second ArtCents Benefit Concert, Aug. 21 in Manhattan.

Presented by ASTEP (Artists Striving to End Poverty), the concerts at the Triad on West 72nd Street are devoted to emerging songwriters — and helping kids at risk. Admission is a jar of change.

I Love You Because will be seen in regional theatres in the coming year, and a cast album will be released by PS Classics (www.psclassics.com).

The Aug. 21 benefit concert features performances by Marie-France Arcilla (Shout!), David A. Austin (I Love You Because), Colin Hanlon (Rent, I Love You Because), Lisa Howard (…Spelling Bee) and writer Cunningham. Salzman will accompany on piano. There is also a two-drink minimum. The Triad on New York's Upper West Side is at 158 W. 72nd St.

For reservations for the 7 PM concert, call [phone] or send an email to [e-mail].

I love Lisa Howard. She can do no wrong. Gifted on a level that no one knows because she's doing this comedy role right now but oh my, when she's doing Passion and Gypsy in 15 years watch out. People won't know what hit them.

I saw Lisa Howard a couple of times as Mme. Thénardier six years ago. Very funny lady. If I make it to NY when she's still Rona Lisa, I'm there, too!

Peronista, Lisa has already done 'Passion.' She played Fosca while she was at CCM.

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.
