Hello friends - Thank you for picking up our September edition! We are incredibly excited for you to enjoy our latest issue, highlighting the best of fall fun in NYC. From the hottest concerts, to new Broadway shows, to the most exciting museum exhibits, we have curated from all over the city for the coolest things to do this month. As you may have noticed on our cover, this issue is a special milestone for us. In September of 2012 we launched NEW YORK CITY Monthly as the newest entertainment and lifestyle magazine in the city. From those humble beginnings, we have seen our readership soar taking us from newbie start-up to the second highest circulation lifestyle magazine in Manhattan. We spent some time discussing this while we worked on the issue, reminiscing about the early years and how much the city has changed since then. To that end, we did a special feature story called “Then & Now” in which we looked at 13 of the most interesting changes of the last 5 years. In a city as dynamic and ever expanding as ours is, 5 years is a big block of time, you’ll be amazed at just how much has evolved. See page 18 to check out what we highlighted. This issue also marked one of our best ever for top shelf interviews. From rockers, to country music stars, to celeb chefs, we have some fantastic exclusive Q&A’s this month. Trust me when I tell you, it wasn’t easy getting big name interviews in the beginning, but now in 2017 we have the great pleasure of interviewing some of the brightest stars across all facets of entertainment, fashion, sports, the arts, and more. As we take a moment to grasp our 5-year anniversary and all of the great times and success we have enjoyed, we wanted to make sure to say thank you. It’s been an exhilarating ride, one that only exists because of great readers, business partners, advertisers, and overall supporters who have been there to make the vision a reality. To each and every one who is reading this right now, and to the scores of people who write in to tell us how much they enjoy NYCM and look forward to each month’s new issue, we offer our heartfelt thank you and genuine gratitude. We love that you love our magazine. Cheers to our first 5 years in the greatest city on Earth. How incredibly fortunate we are to live and work here.

Sincerely, Ron

Jones effortlessly floats through her melodies whether she is on guitar or piano and impressed recently on a cover of Tom Waits' "The Long Way Home." She can truly do it all, from standards to covers, and her original hits stand up to the rest like "Don't Know Why," "Sunrise," "Come Away With Me," "Chasing Pirates," and "Happy Pills," and if you're lucky she may even perform a duet she recorded with Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong.

Zara’s Adidas Originals Leather Biker Jacket Jardim Printed Track Jacket BROADWAY BROADWAY MAKING STATEMENTS Talking About Hot Button Topics he Broadway stage is no stranger to politics. While Tdazzling musicals and sidesplitting comedies offer world-class entertainment and escape from the woes of day-to-day life and political controversies, some of the most powerful dramas engage their audiences in thought-provoking examinations of politics. From recounting the mistakes or triumphs of great historical figures or presenting imagined futures where society has taken drastic turns, theatre affords a unique opportunity for audiences to question their own views. Similarly, theatre has the power to inspire action, using the thrill of life performance to forever change how viewers engage with the world around them. Here we take a look at some of the politically charged productions currently running on Broadway, alternatively offering dark takes on the not-too distant future, or hopeful musings on the nature of human interconnectivity. n the wake of a divisive political season, a Iprovocative new stage adaptation of George Orwell’s quintessential dystopian tale 1984 has taken Broadway by storm. The politically geared drama offers a look at an imagined future where an authoritarian regime has come to power. Viscerally adapted by British theatre artists Robert Icke and Duncan MacMillan, 1984 tells the story of everyman Winston Smith who works for the Ministry of Truth, re-writing newspaper articles from the past so that history reflects positively on the ruling party, thereby ensuring their rule. His world is thrown into disarray when he falls in love with a woman named Julia who shares his distrust of the state.

ritish star of stage and screen Jonno Davies recently took his first trip to New York City and Bwas amazed by the vastness of the buildings, an ironic experience as he continues to take on a role as strenuous as it is chaotic. He emerges in the New York stage premiere of A Clockwork Orange opening September 25 at New World Stages playing the lead Alex DeLarge which recently wrapped a sold-out run in London. Under the direction (and choreography) of Alexandra Spencer-Jones, the production is of course an adaptation of Anthony Burgess' 1962 novel of the same name, further made famous by Stanley Kubrick's 1971 cult classic. A Clockwork Orange tackles good vs. evil and the search for identity in a coming-of-age story that finds main character DeLarge, a violent teenager and sociopath creeping through a dystopian society with his gang of thugs. 25-year-old Davies is the sole talent to appear in both productions, this new one restaged, shifting from an in-the-round UK set. Jonno is the third actor to play Alex, having also starred in the Norway and Singapore productions. Music and movement are at the core of the narrative; they are in fact a part of the language of the storytelling, in addition to the fictional Nadsat language spoken by the hoodlums. DeLarge has a fascination with Beethoven and the production includes modern music as well, interspersed into the scenes with David Bowie, Queen and more. The cast demands a high level of physicality, with an ensemble that is a collection of martial artists, boxers, ballet dancers and overall lots of athleticism and risk-taking. Jonno Davies spoke with New York City Monthly on the play's parallels to problems in society, the demand of his first stage appearance in New York and the physical elements of the production.

You are making your New York stage debut after already playing the lead in A Clockwork Orange in London. What if anything do you think will be most challenging about this new production? The first thing that comes to my mind is we have to re-choreograph the piece because the last time we did the piece it was in the round with 200 people. So, we need to change the choreography quite a lot. It's just fun because it keeps it fresh for me. And I guess the fact that I'm working with a totally new pool of actors.
