Some residents of Miami Beach were happy with the large police presence, the traffic restrictions and the barricades, but other residents and business owners were definitely not. Rafa Carvajal One thing is clear, we need some leadership to properly address the real issues without Publisher/Editor in Chief importing an army of police officers from several jurisdictions and spending millions of taxpayer dollars. A year ago in issue #23, June 9, 2011, I wrote a column entitled “Miami Associate Publisher Beach Needs to Become A Different Kind of War Zone” suggesting a concrete solution Jesse Spencer and plan to address the Memorial Day weekend and urged City officials to exercise some leadership and create a new weekend honoring our veterans. I am once again printing Editor portions of that column below to see if someone in the City of Miami Beach exercises some James Cubby leadership on this matter. Associate Editor There is another alternative and Miami Beach could be a different kind of “war zone” Antwyone Ingram during Memorial Day weekend. It would just take some planning and leadership from city government, local businesses, and city residents. It will also require everyone to actu- Design & Production Director ally remember what Memorial Day is about. What happens during Urban Beach Week Jose Gonzalez is completely unacceptable and should not be tolerated. Furthermore, it has absolutely nothing to do with the color of people’s skin. As a Hispanic myself, if Miami Beach held an annual Latin Weekend that created as much mayhem, excessive noise, and total Columnists disruption in the lives of Miami Beach residents as Urban Weekend, I would also agree Alfredo Barrios with anyone who categorized such a Latin Weekend as unacceptable. Alyn Darnay Dane Steele Green Memorial Day, which was originally called Decoration Day, was established as a day of Ken Hunt remembrance for those who have died serving our country, rather than a day of partying Dr. Gregg A Pizzi where so many Americans forget the meaning and traditions of Memorial Day.

And when Paris, an appearance as well! the “City of Lights,” hosts the first festival of French gay culture ever, the Paris Circuit Party, on June 28-July 2, it’s my guess that there will be a lot of kissing going on - among other things. Steele Luxury Travel has unbelievable discounted business class airfare to Paris and great deals on hotels as well. June 28: HUNKUT Things start off with the notorious HUNKUT Party (June 28) at the La Scene Bastille club. A circuit party from Brussels with a hard French twist, it’s got fetish, it’s got leather, it’s got porn stars. It’s got fetish porn stars in leather. In a club named after a prison. I don’t think I can really add anything more to this… June 29: Rapido Charging hell-for-leather (!) out of Amsterdam’s gravity-defying party scene, this is one of Europe’s true world circuit events, pulling in power DJs Giangi Cappai, Fabio White, and Xavier Seulmand from all over the continent to the Montparnasse mega- club Redlight. June 30: Weekends Major Party Here’s where things really hit warp-speed. This is just that—major. Taking place under the Grande Arche de la Défense, two clubs equaling 100 square meters and with a capacity of 5,000 are gearing up for the be all and end all of Parisian parties. Planners are coy as to just what is to take place, but performances by the high-heeled Ukrainian bevy of beautiful boys, Kazaky, promise to set the tone for the night. July 1: UNDER, Que Fuerté, and the Supermartxe Closing Party OK, Circuit Queens, can you handle three parties in one day? As Weekends winds down, UNDER, the official after-party, kicks off. Later on, it’s the Que Fuerté tea dance on the banks of the Seine, and all you need is your swimsuit. No, the party isn’t in the river, but on-site the foam pool does require the proper attire (Of course, once you go in, all bets are off).

That’s right, all ogres are destined to live lonely, miserable lives being chased by torch-wielding mobs who want to kill them. So the young Shrek set off, and eventually found a patch of swampland far away from the world that despised him. Many years pass, and the little ogre grows into a very big ogre, who has learned to love the solitude and privacy of his wonderfully stinky swamp (Big Bright Beautiful World.) Unfortunately, Shrek’s quiet little life is turned upside down when a pack of distraught Fairy Tale Creatures are dumped on his precious land. Pinocchio and his ragtag crew of pigs, witches and bears, lament their sorry fate, and explain that they’ve been banished from the Kingdom of Duloc by the evil Lord Farquaad for being freakishly different from everyone else (Story Of My Life.) Left with no choice, the grumpy ogre sets off left to right Jacob Ming-Trent to give that egotistical zealot a piece of his mind, and to Adam Riegler hopefully get his swamp back, exactly as it was.

  • Recommended Talking Points
    RECOMMENDED TALKING POINTS “What is SHREK THE MUSICAL?” The official title of the show is SHREK THE MUSICAL. SHREK THE MUSICAL is an entirely new musical based on the story and characters from William Steig’s book Shrek!, as well as the Oscar® winning DreamWorks Animation film Shrek, the first chapter of the Shrek movie series. SHREK THE MUSICAL looks backwards at all the fairy tale traditions we grew up on: a hero (a big, green, ill-tempered ogre), a beautiful princess (who is not all she appears to be), and a dastardly villain (with some obvious shortcomings) and takes great fun turning all their storytelling conventions upside-down and inside-out (and on their ear). “How did the musical come about?” Sam Mendes, the British director and producer, was a big fan of the first film, and he suggested the idea of creating a musical to DreamWorks’ Jeffrey Katzenberg, around the time the second film was in production. Now, the musical is being produced by DreamWorks Theatricals (Bill Damaschke, President) and Neal Street Productions, Ltd (principals Sam Mendes and Caro Newling). “How does the new musical fit into the Shrek pantheon?” The story of the musical follows the events and characters of the first Shrek feature film, which won the first-ever Academy Award® for Best Animated Feature. In SHREK THE MUSICAL, the creative team will go deeper into the background and story of Shrek, Princess Fiona, Donkey and the lovable collection of everyone’s favorite Fairy-Tale characters. SHREK THE MUSICAL will feature a completely original score by one the theatre’s most eclectic composers, Jeanine Tesori, working in theatre today.

We’re so glad you could join us! Musical theater is a unique American creation. It’s also a joyful mixture of song and story, and, since 1945, Dallas Summer Musicals has brought the finest musicals to Dallas. Want to know what goes into making a musical? Just two simple ingredients: singing and acting (song and story). There’s just something about a song that makes a story mean more than just regular speech. It touches us in a different way. Whether a show uses classical music or rock, a musical uses music to tell its story, to suggest feelings, emotions, and attitudes. As long as it mixes song and story, musical theater can be about literally anything, and this season’s shows are great examples of the wide range of subjects. From the blockbuster musical Wicked to the sweeping epic of Camelot, each production reveals a different aspect of what makes musical theater so special. The story of Dallas Summer Musicals is a long and honored one, and by learning about and attending one of our shows, you are now part of that story too! Sincerely, Michael A.

The musical weaves the plots of several fairy tales of brothers Grimm and Charles Perrault, exploring the consequences of the wishes and quests of the characters. The main characters are taken from Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the bean stalk, Rapunzel and Cinderella, as well as a number of others. The musical is connected with the story of the childless baker and his wife and their desire to create a family (the original beginning of the Rapunzel of the Brothers Grimm), their interaction with the witch, which imposes a curse on them, and their interaction with other characters of the collection of stories during their journey. The musical debuted in San Diego at the Old Globe Theater in 1986 and premiered on Broadway on November 5, 1987, where it won several Tony Awards, including best score, best book, and best actress in a musical (Joanna Gleeson), a year dominated by The Phantom of the Opera (1988).

    Contact: Joe Guttridge, Director, Communications [email protected] 212.763.1279 Nicholas Barasch, Wayne Duvall, Charlie Franklin, Kyle Scatliffe, Tony Sheldon, Christopher Sieber, Lauren Worsham, and more will star in the Encores! production of Big River, directed by Lear deBessonet, Feb 8—12 December 15, 2016/New York, NY—Encores! Artistic Director Jack Viertel today announced casting for the Encores! production of Big River: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the Tony Award‐winning musical based on Mark Twain’s classic American novel. Big River will star Nicholas Barasch, Patrice Covington, Andrew Cristi, Wayne Duvall, Mike Evariste, Charlie Franklin, Annie Golden, Katherine A. Guy, Megan Masako Haley, Adrianna Hicks, Zachary Infante, Gizel Jimenez, Andrew Kruep, John‐Michael Lyles, Cass Morgan, Tom Nelis, Horace V. Rogers, Kyle Scatliffe, Tony Sheldon, Christopher Sieber, and Lauren Worsham. A thoroughly original retelling of Twain’s historic tale of friendship, freedom, and the untamed Mississippi, Big River follows Huckleberry Finn (Nicholas Barasch, She Loves Me) as he escapes down the river and encounters Jim (Kyle Scatliffe, The Color Purple), a runaway slave, and the notorious pair known as the Duke (Christopher Sieber, Matilda) and the King (Tony Sheldon, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert). A musical underdog as scrappy and restless as Huck himself, Big River was created in the age of British spectacles by a quintessentially American artist—the beloved country‐western singer Roger Miller—and his Tony Award‐ winning score is a scintillating blend of bluegrass, gospel, and honky tonk. More than thirty years later, Big River remains an affecting journey through 1840s America in all its beauty and savagery.
