<p>The post <a href="https://culturalattache.co/2021/03/12/four-days-of-best-bets-march-12th-march-15th/">Four Days of Best Bets: March 12th &#8211; March 15th</a> appeared first on <a href="https://culturalattache.co">Cultural Attaché</a>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>If you get asked what good is sitting all alone in your room, you can respond, &#8220;I&#8217;ve got Cultural Attaché&#8217;s Best Bets: March 12th &#8211; March 15th.&#8221; Of course, you don&#8217;t have to sit all alone. Hopefully you have family and/or vaccinated friends who can join you. We have a lot of choices for you.</p>



<p>Topping our list is a special celebration of Liza Minnelli&#8217;s 75th birthday. The stars are coming out in droves to celebrate the woman who forever put her mark on Sally Bowles, who famously served as Gwen Verdon&#8217;s understudy (look that one up!), captured Arthur&#8217;s heart and made us all try singing <em>New York, New York</em> just like she does.</p>



<p>We have an unbelievable 21 different shows for you this week. No one will be left out. Whether you like opera, dance, classical music, Broadway musicals, plays or jazz, there&#8217;s something great for you to watch this weekend.</p>



<p>But you&#8217;ll have to be careful with your time. You lose an hour this weekend. Sunday marks the return of Daylight Savings Time. So don&#8217;t forget to move your clocks one hour forward on Sunday. You don&#8217;t want to miss the start of these shows!</p>



<p>Here are your Best Bets: March 12th &#8211; March 15th starting with our Top Pick. The rest are in order of availability.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignleft size-medium"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="300" height="169" src="https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/A-Love-Letter-to-Liza-1-300x169.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-13449" srcset="https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/A-Love-Letter-to-Liza-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/A-Love-Letter-to-Liza-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/A-Love-Letter-to-Liza-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/A-Love-Letter-to-Liza-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/A-Love-Letter-to-Liza-1-696x392.jpg 696w, https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/A-Love-Letter-to-Liza-1-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/A-Love-Letter-to-Liza-1-747x420.jpg 747w, https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/A-Love-Letter-to-Liza-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /><figcaption><br>Liza Minnelli&#8217;s 75th All-Star Birthday Tribute Celebration tops our list!</figcaption></figure></div>



<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">*TOP PICK</span></strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>*</strong></em></span>: <em><strong><a href="https://www.stellartickets.com/o/club-cumming-presents/events/a-love-letter-to-liza-minnelli-75th-all-star-birthday-tribute-celebration" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">A Love Letter to Liza Minnelli: 75th All-Star Birthday Tribute Celebration</a></strong></em> &#8211; March 12th &#8211; March 14th</p>



<p>You know it&#8217;s either a monumental birthday or you&#8217;re quite beloved if <a href="https://culturalattache.co/2016/09/14/lea-delaria-sings-bowie-2/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lea DeLaria</a>, Michael Feinstein, Joel Grey, <a href="https://culturalattache.co/2015/12/16/ute-lemper-celebrates-30-years-in-theatre-with-last-tango-in-berlin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ute Lemper</a>, Melissa Manchester, Seth Sikes, <a href="https://culturalattache.co/2014/03/19/billy-stritch-23-years-lizas-confidant-music-director/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Billy Stritch</a>, Haley Swindal, Lily Tomlin, <a href="https://culturalattache.co/2019/07/17/the-simple-joys-of-ben-vereen/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ben Vereen</a> and more are performing to celebrate you.</p>



<p>It&#8217;s actually both for Oscar, Tony and Emmy Award-winning actress/singer Liza Minnelli. </p>



<p>The star of Bob Fosse&#8217;s <em>Cabaret</em> and the Broadway musicals <em>Flora, the Red Menace</em>, <em>Chicago</em>, <em>The Act</em> and <em>The Rink</em> turns 75 on Friday. And her friends are celebrating the best way they can during a pandemic &#8211; with an on-line event.</p>

<p><strong>PLAY</strong>: <a href="https://www.manhattantheatreclub.com/events/mtc-curtain-call-series/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>Three Day</em>s <em>of Rain</em></a> &#8211; Manhattan Theatre Club &#8211; Now &#8211; March 21st</p>



<p>In 2006 Richard Greenberg&#8217;s play <em>Three Days of Rain</em> was performed on Broadway by Bradley Cooper, Julia Roberts and Paul Rudd. But that was not its first appearance in New York. In 1997, Manhattan Theatre Club offered the first production with Patricia Clarkson, John Slattery and Bradley Whitford.</p>



<p>That cast, along with original director Evan Yionoulis, have reunited for an online reading of <em>Three Days of Rain</em> that began on Thursday and will continue being available through Sunday, March 21st. </p>



<p><em>Three Days of Rain</em> tells the story of a brother and sister who return to settle their father&#8217;s affairs after his passing. They are joined by their best friend, Pip. Upon discovering a diary they learn more about their parents than they ever expected to. What they learn helps them understand more about their own lives. </p>



<p>There&#8217;s no charge to watch the reading, but you do need to register at Manhattan Theatre Club&#8217;s website.</p>

<p><strong>DANCE</strong>: <em><a href="https://www.theford.com/events/performances/1224/2021-03-11/invertigo-dance-theatre-presents-after-it-happened?" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">After It Happened</a></em> &#8211; Invertigo Dance Theatre &#8211; Now available</p>



<p>Laura Karlin choreographed this work for nine dancers that was performed at The Ford Theatre in 2016. Two musicians perform the score by composers Toby Karlin, Diana Lynn and Hyosun Choi.</p>



<p>The &#8220;it&#8221; that happened is a natural disaster in this work created in 2014. What the dancers discover, performing as the community dealing with the aftermath if the event, is that they must forge together to overcome the tragedy that has befallen them.</p>

<p><strong>PLAY/DISCUSSION</strong>: <em><a href="https://www.pasadenaplayhouse.org/another-days-begun-exploring-our-town/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Another Day&#8217;s Begun: Exploring Our Town</a></em> &#8211; Pasadena Playhouse &#8211; Now available</p>



<p>Thorton Wilder&#8217;s <em>Our Town</em> is one of the most often-produced plays. Wilder won the Pulitzer Prize for this deceptively simple play in which the lives of the citizens of Grover&#8217;s Corners are shared and depicted. Along the way there are guest lecturers and even questions from the audience. Leading the whole show is the role of the Stage Manager. This is a spare show and a powerfully moving one. </p>



<p>Jane Kaczmarek will perform scenes from <em>Our Town</em> and lead a discussion with author Howard Sherman. His book gives this program its name. Also participating in performance are Youssef Kerkour, Keith Randolph Smith and Alexandria Wailes.</p>



<p>For trivia buffs, Frank Craven originated the role of the Stage Manager when the play debuted on Broadway in 1938. Marc Connelly played the part in a 1944 revival (that also featured Montgomery Clift as George Gibbs). In 1969 Henry Fonda headlined a production as the Stage Manager. Spalding Gray took on the part in a 1988 revival. Paul Newman played the part in a 2002 revival.</p>



<p>There&#8217;s no charge to watch this show.</p>

<p><strong>RADIO PLAY</strong>: <em><a href="https://www.theatreinthedark.com/#moby-dick-in-the-dark-section" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Moby Dick &#8230; in the Dark</a></em> &#8211; Theatre in the Dark &#8211;  Now &#8211; April 10th</p>



<p>If like many of us you&#8217;ve found it a big of a slog to get through Herman Melville&#8217;s <em>Moby Dick</em>, and the thought of listening to a full book on tape is also daunting, but you still want to know what all the fuss is about, Chicago&#8217;s Theatre in the Dark is presenting a radio play version that&#8217;s much shorter.</p>



<p>If you don&#8217;t know the story it is, at least on the surface, about one man&#8217;s relentless effort to capture the white whale that gives this story its title. He will stop at nothing with little concern of what it costs.</p>



<p>Corey Bradberry, who also directs, adapted Melville&#8217;s story. This will be a true radio play. There are no visuals. An original score by Nick Montopoli will be married with recorded sound, live foley effects and the performances of the cast.</p>



<p>Elizabeth McCoy plays Ishmael (and some other characters). Mack Gordon plays Starbuck, Stubb and other characters. Robinson J. Cyprian plays Captain Ahab and others. </p>



<p>All tickets are Pay-what-you-can. There is a $20-$30 suggested donation. Performances are available Thursday-Sunday until the last week where the performance schedule is Wednesday-Saturday. Tickets can be purchased <a href="https://www.theatreinthedark.com/tickets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.</p>

<p>In October of 2020, when things were looking up for England during the pandemic, The Royal Ballet held a special performance called <em>Back on Stage</em>. While they were only briefly back on stage, one highlight from that evening will be available for streaming beginning this weekend.</p>



<p>Kenneth MacMillan&#8217;s <em>Elite Syncopations</em> is set to the music of Scott Joplin (best known for the use of his music in the film <em>The Sting</em>). MacMillan debuted the 35-minute work in 1974. Even critics who weren&#8217;t as fond of it as others said it was impossible to watch this work and not have a smile on your face.</p>

<p>If I were a parent I might be scratching my head at a title that claims to be &#8220;A Horror Opera for Children.&#8221; The story of <em>The Pied Piper of Hamelin</em> is the inspiration for this world premiere work by Conor Mitchell.

<p>This is a film of a live performance for the Belfast Children&#8217;s Festival. It features a 16-piece orchestra and a four-person cast (Matthew Cavan, Paul Carey Jones, Rebecca Murphy and Sarah Richmond).</p>



<p>This work is recommended for kids ages 6 and above. Tickets are £5 which equates to approximately $6.00 (without service charges) and can be purchased <a href="https://qft.vhx.tv/checkout/the-musician/purchase" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.</p>

<p><strong>CLASSICAL MUSIC</strong>: <a href="https://www.laco.org/events/the-soldiers-tale/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stravinsky&#8217;s <em>The Soldier&#8217;s Tale</em></a> &#8211; Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra &#8211; Debuts March 12th &#8211; 9:30 PM EST/6:30 PM PST</p>



<p>On paper this appears to be the most ambitious of LACO&#8217;s <em>Close Quarters</em> series. Igor Stravinsky&#8217;s <em>The Soldier&#8217;s Tale</em> is over an hour in length. Based on a Russian folk tale, the work tells the story of a a soldier who makes a deal with the devil. The devil offers him wealth in exchange for the soldier&#8217;s fiddle. As written <em>The Soldier&#8217;s Tale</em> calls for seven musicians, three actors and one or more dancers.</p>



<p>For this film LACO is collaborating with Robey Theatre Company. Ben Guillory will serve as the narrator. Julio Hanson plays the soldier. William Warren plays the devil.</p>



<p>Because this is part of <a href="https://culturalattache.co/2021/01/21/james-darrah-director-designer-disruptor/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">James Darrah</a>&#8216;s exploration of new ways to present classical music, LACO has added another collaborator to this film: artist Huimeng Wang. I&#8217;m excited to see her contribution which is described on the website as: &#8220;Wang’s&nbsp;work features a grand piano being dramatically and violently destroyed&nbsp;by gunfire&nbsp;before being reborn&nbsp;with&nbsp;stunning deep red velvet flocking.&#8221;</p>



<p>For those who want to dive deeper into this work, there is a <a href="https://www.laco.org/events/robey-theatre-and-washburn/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">pre-broadcast talk</a> with the three actors and LACO principal trumpeter David Washburn. The live conversation will happen at 8:30 PM EST/5:30 PM PST on March 12th in advance of the premiere. You must register to see the live conversation as it will be available on Zoom. If you&#8217;re unable to catch it live, it will be available for viewing afterwards.</p>



<p>There&#8217;s no charge for any of this programming. Donations to LACO are encouraged.</p>

<p>Jazz trumpeter Jeremy Pelt just released a new record entitled <em>Griot &#8211; This is Important!</em> It&#8217;s a combination of spoken word and instrumentals. It&#8217;s a stunning album.</p>



<p>Will selections from <em>Griot</em> be on the setlist for these two shows from Smalls in New York? </p>



<p>Whatever he chooses to play it will be with his incredibly beautiful phrasing and emotion.</p>



<p>Joining Pelt for these two shows are Vicente Archer on bass; Victor Gould on piano; Chien Chien Lu on vibraphone and Allan Mednard on drums.</p>



<p>There&#8217;s no charge to watch these shows. Those who can donate can make &#8220;reservations&#8221; for the show.</p>

<p>Writer Joan Didion shared her own experiences and thoughts after suffering several tragedies in her life in her book <em>The Year of Magical Thinking</em>. The emotional book was turned into an one-person show. Vanessa Redgrave starred in the play on Broadway in 2007.</p>



<p>This weekend the equally talented Kathleen Chalfant (<em>Angels in America</em>) will take on the role in a live streaming event for Off-Broadway&#8217;s Keen Company.</p>



<p>I saw Redgrave perform the show in the months after her own daughter&#8217;s (Natasha Richardson) tragic death in 2009. It&#8217;s an incredibly moving work. After a year with the pandemic and quarantines, I can only imagine how much more deeply and personally we will all respond to this work on Saturday.</p>



<p>Tickets are $25 and will include a post-show talkback with Chalfant and director Jonathan Silverstein.</p>

<p>A young man decides he wants to walk from Pennsylvania to California with a sign on his backpack that says, &#8220;Walking to Listen.&#8221; Wouldn&#8217;t it be nice if more people wanted to listen these days? Anyway, along the way he documented his many encounters with people and their stories.</p>



<p>Upon hearing about Andrew Forsthoefel, who took this trip unsure about what to do with his life post-college, composer/lyricist Brett Ryback and book writer Eric Ulloa knew immediately there was a musical in this true story.</p>



<p><em>Passing Through</em> is the result of their collaboration. Goodspeed Musicals presented a workshop production of the musical in the summer of 2019. A film of that production will be available for streaming on demand starting on March 15th and running through April 4th.</p>

<p><strong>OPERA</strong>: <em><a href="https://schoolofmusic.ucla.edu/event/for-the-love-of-opera-celebrating-rbgs-88th-birthday/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">For the Love of Opera: Celebrating RBG&#8217;s 88th Birthday</a></em> &#8211; Lowell Milken Center of American Jewish Experience at The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music/National Museum of American Jewish History/Opera Philadelphia &#8211; March 15th &#8211; 8:00 PM EDT/5:00 PM PDT</p>



<p>Liza&#8217;s not the only one being feted. So is the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. It wasn&#8217;t just law that she loved, it was also opera. To celebrate what would have been RBG&#8217;s 88th birthday, a program of arias from operas that address issues of social justice, equality and more will be performed.</p>



<p>The program is set to include arias from Donizetti&#8217;s <em>L&#8217;elisir d&#8217;amore</em>; Puccini&#8217;s <em>Gianni Schicchi</em>, Mozart&#8217;s <em>Le nozze de Figaro</em> and <em>Cosí fan tutte</em>, Verdi&#8217;s <em>Falstaff</em>, Menotti&#8217;s <em>The Consul</em> and a song from the Flaherty and Aherns musical <em>Ragtime</em>.</p>



<p>Performers are Joshua Blue (tenor), Norman Garrett (baritone), Michelle Rice (soprano) and Ashley Marie Robillard (soprano). Pianists Stephen Karr and Grant Loehnig will accompany on piano.</p>



<p>The event will be presented via Zoom, so you will need to register to see it. The program will become available on demand shortly after its conclusion on the various venues&#8217; social media pages.</p>
