The facade of our South Philly joint lit up for the holiday - the lights are actually red but the camera couldn’t get the colors right at dusk…

I’ve just accepted an invitation to visit the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts, to help conduct an assessment of their musical theater program. Above, an image from their production of Fiddler On The Roof (in Cantonese).
Here is a link to a little bit of video from their program. Stay tuned to the Chazzyblog for further tales of Musical Theater in the Far East!

The Internet theater site Talkin’ Broadway has a very nice write-up of The Dinosaur Musical, which their reviewer liked even better than Frog and Toad - imagine that! This reviewer appreciated the show in every imaginable way, a very nourishing form of praise.

The New York Times published this wonderful piece about Barbara Cook and a master class that she conducted with Juilliard singing actors. I’ve been coaching my third year students on a round of standards and have been repeating many of the same mantras, but I don’t get paid the big master class fees to do it. It’s affirming to see a great artist affirm this approach to singing-acting.
