It went BRILLIANTLY. Some technical touch-ups to do as that
is what previews are for but all is well and the cast/crew
etc.The crew have over three weeks to get ready for opening
night. It's very exciting. Michael McElroy, who plays "Blue"
is wonderful and Phylicia superb. In fact, there is not a
weak member of the cast - all terrific. AND people were asking
for 'the music' afterwards!!!! GO

Roundabout Gramercy Theatre
After the huge reaction given her last performance at the
Sunset Junction Music Festival in Los Angeles, Nona Hendryx
and her stellar funk/rock band has been asked back this
year to HEADLINE. Nona will close the festival on August
18th, 2001.
A new book chronicalling the life and times of the Talking
Heads has been released entitled "This Must be the Place"
by David Bowman. Lots of interviews with Nona Hendryx are
included--for those of you who are unaware, Nona sang on
their classic album "Remain in Light" and toured with them
off and on from 1980-81. Nona was also a featured vocalist
on 1983's "Speaking in Tongues" and also Heads' keyboardist
Jerry Harrison's 1981 killer release "the Red and the Black."
And if you really want to hear the greatest version of Al
Greene's "Take Me to the River" ever, check out CD "The
Name of This Band is Talking Heads." Nona and Dolette MacDonald
just dominate on that song!
New ambient CD from former Nona Hendryx and Zero Cool band-member
Michael Allison aka Darshan. The music is very atmospheric
and beautiful. For more information go here: ORDER
