Mar 1: American Showstoppers: AN EVENING OF JERRY HERMAN, featuring the Fred Barton Orchestra

On Saturday evening, March 1st at 7:30pm Pace University will present American Showstoppers, with the 13 piece Fred Barton Orchestra, AN EVENING OF JERRY HERMAN. The evening is directed and choreographed by Scott Thompson and produced, orchestrated and hosted by Fred Barton. Herman’s epic contributions to Broadway and Hollywood will be celebrated in an evening exploring his career from his early revue days to his heyday of mega-musicals such as HELLO DOLLY!, MAME, DEAR WORLD, LA CAGE AUX FOLLES, MACK AND MABEL, and many more.

Klea Blackhurst, Toni DiBuono, Jeffry Denman, Tari Kelly, Damon Kirsche, Beth Leavel, Karen Murphy and the inimitable Lee Roy Reams lead the cast which features Lianne Marie Dobbs, AJ Hunsucker, Jesse Luttrell and the Scott Thompson dancers.

Fred Barton's orchestrations are played regularly at Carnegie Hall and by symphony orchestras around the country and Canada. He's conducted Broadway and national tour productions of City of Angels, Hal Prince's Cabaret, Zorba with Anthony Quinn, and Camelot with Robert Goulet. He was co-creator of the original Forbidden Broadway, and for television co-composed "The Magic Schoolbus," orchestrated and conducted "Wonder Pets!," and music-supervised "HBO's Cathouse: The Musical" and the children's show "Olivia."

2/22: The Great LA Air Raid of 1942

On Saturday, I join Dean Mora and the Ft. MacArthur Officers Orchestra and fellow vocalist Kayre Morrison as we commemorate The Great Los Angeles Air Raid of 1942, performing songs of the WWII era and wearing period uniforms from The Fort MacArthur Museum's collection:

“The Great LA Air Raid,” hosted by Maxwell DeMille, includes a vintage atmosphere with music performed by Dean Mora and the Fort MacArthur Officers Orchestra. Also on display is a collection of vintage military equipment including four fully restored WWII vintage searchlights. The evening will be capped off by a planned special effects show featuring the museum’s staff of volunteers. The event has been featured on the PBS program “California’s Gold” hosted by Huell Howser, as well as “Mail Call” hosted by R. Lee Ermey, and “Cities of the Underworld” hosted by Don Wildman on The History Channel.
