World-Renowned Guitarist Pete Huttlinger Performs this Wed. as part of Songs From The South also with Jon Pousette-Dart Band

Since his days of subway busking, Pete Huttlinger has developed into a world-renowned guitarist. Even as a must-have sideman, he occupied some pretty choice real estate, including the Hollywood Bowl and London’s Royal Albert Hall with John Denver, Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas and stadiums around the world with numerous other pop and country superstars.

He has been a featured artist with the San Diego and Houston symphonies and is a favorite guest artist of the Nashville Chamber Orchestra. In 2000 Huttlinger won the title of National Fingerstyle Champion at the prestigious Walnut Valley Festival.

During the early ‘90’s, John Denver’s tour manager and producer Kris O’Connor heard Huttlinger on another project and was so impressed that he recommended him for Denver’s band. Huttlinger toured, recorded and performed on television with Denver from 1994 until the singer’s death in 1997.

He has been featured on the cover of Fingerstyle Guitar twice, and has been profiled in Guitar Player, Acoustic Guitar, Vintage Guitar and Guitar World Acoustic.

Peers consider Huttlinger one of today’s finest fingerstyle guitarists. Guitar Player magazine referred to his playing as "…an amazing display of all-around fingerstyle mastery. Scary stuff.”

What' So Funny About Jazz??!!!!

Best Vocal CDs of 2004” - "The Right Time"
- All About Jazz New York Annual Top 5 Critics' Poll

Melody Breyer-Grell -Vocalist Extraordinaire

What' So Funny About Jazz??!!!!

Melody Breyer-Grell may not have a right to sing the Blues, but she certainly knows how to whine about them!

In a business, where an emerging vocalist feels fortunate if she has just broken even, "What's so Funny About Jazz??!!!” relentlessly parodies all aspects of the "business" in this hilarious, ego deflating satire. (At NYC’s Triad Theatre April 8th & 22nd @ 9:15PM, April 18th @ 5:00PM.)

Ms. Breyer-Grell knows of what she whines. Impulsively choosing to pursue a career as a vocalist upon her first exposure to Ella Fitzgerald's Song Books, she has spent the last few years attempting to scratch out a place in the highly competitive world of "JAZZ/STANDARD's VOCALISTS."

"I was definitely on too much caffeine when I decided to throw my hat into the ring of this field."


Melody's Debut CD "The Right Time" had a favorable response from the critics, and also won the highly coveted Best of 2004, In NYC Jazz Bible "All About Jazz"

So what has prompted her to take the satirical road?

"I was in the world of Classical Music when I was young...the most competitive conservatories and such. I naively figured the jazz world would be loose, swinging and very and free."

Little did she know what she was getting into.......

Come see "What's so Funny About Jazz??!!!" and find out.


HEAR--- for the first time in public, the instant classics……

"CD's for Sale"

"Still Can't Sing the Midnight Sun"

"The Night is Cold, and My Bus is so Late"

Just to name a few.........

In the past two years Melody has taken her act out on the road singing in Key West, California, New Jersey and her home turf, New York City. The venues include Trumpets Jazz Club, Sweet Rhythm (formerly Sweet Basil), Triad, Push Room, Danny's Skylight Room, and the Grand Havana Club. Melody was most recently heard During IAJE at Birdland in a JAZZCORNER sponsored event.


"highly imaginative vocalist brings a fresh & innovative experience to each song…her voice lingers with you like a haunting refrain because of her sweet, swinging, sophistication…Melody Breyer-Grell's use of several harmonic complexities & her unique approach is both modern & nostalgic.” -Paula Edelstein---All Music Guide

“Sophisticated, progressive ballad presentations....very groovy arranging & production!"
-Dick Crockett” STILL ANOTHER JAZZ SHOW" 88.7 FM, Sacramento, CA

voice that is perfectly suited to deliver the traditional jazz ballad....... she is able to use pitch, tone and phrasing in a controlled way to induce deep moods.... rich vocals ..... Enchanting... “Out of This World.” -Elliott Simon -All about Jazz

understand's how to shape a song, is assured and sings at her own pace, as if floating........values melody and words for affecting outreach to the listener.... singing with determination and delicacy .
Bill Donaldson -- Jazz improv

"…full of pleasures…Melody communicates words with clarity & warmth, while letting the composer's intentions shine through! ”- James Gavin, critic & author.


"An astounding transfer of vocal sound to the world of Jazz-Cabaret…lovely & sexy too!”
-Mark Murphy

Songs From the South Series - Message from Jon Pousette-Dart

Who are J. Fred Knobloch, and Jelly Roll Johnson and why should they matter to you?

The men who made hits for Ray Charles, Delbert McClinton, Faith Hill, Etta James for a start. How about soulful nuances from Missisippi that will grab you and won’t let go. How about aside of the south that never quite manages to get north of the Mason Dixon line. I fell in love with this stuff as a kid and it has never let me go.

Hence, “Songs from the South” a series at the upstairs Triad monthly, featuring the best writers, singers and players I’ve had the pleasure to collaborate with, and a set with my favorite players in NYC including Paul Socolow, Eric Parker and Jim Chapdelaine. An evening of pure fun in a small intimate room that sounds great, and I don’t have to jump on a plane to Nashville to make it happen. This is a monthly series that I am more than pleased to finally have in motion. Fred and Jelly will be featured with PDB following and who knows where it will end. This is a small room and will sell out quickly. Don’t miss this.

Bush Is Bad Enters It's Fifth Month

Kate Baldwin Returns to BUSH IS BAD
Hit Musical Revue Enters its Fifth Month

NEW YORK, NY, January 16, 2006 – Kate Baldwin, an original cast member of BUSH IS BAD: The Musical Cure for the Blue-State Blues, will re-join the production starting on Thursday, January 19, following a leave of absence to star in White Christmas at the Orpheum Theater in San Francisco. Baldwin replaces Jill Abramovitz, who covered Baldwin’s leave for two months. Also in the company are original cast member Neal Mayer, and Tom Treadwell, who is temporarily replacing Michael McCoy while McCoy performs for three weeks in Pittsburgh with the Phantom of the Opera national tour.

“I’m thrilled that we’ve been running long enough that we can actually have a cast member leave and then return,” said composer/lyricist/pianist Joshua Rosenblum. “Kate and Jill are both magnificently talented in very different ways—each with her own distinctive approach to Bush-bashing. It’s quite inspirational.”

BUSH IS BAD, the hilarious, cathartic and unabashedly partisan musical revue, is playing Off-Broadway at The Triad Theatre, 158 West 72nd Street (between Broadway and Columbus). Originally slated for only eight performances, the show extended its run twice due to popular demand, and is now continuing indefinitely, offering Thursday and Friday night performances at 9 PM, with occasional Monday night shows as well.

Check www.theatermania.com or call 212-352-3101 for performance schedule and tickets. Tickets are $25 with a two-drink minimum.

BUSH IS BAD, which has been described as a cross between Forbidden Broadway and The Daily Show, offers catchy tunes, wickedly funny lyrics and scathing impersonations of the president and his dissembling gang of conspirators. Among the best-reviewed new musicals of the season, it has been described as “savvy, uproarious, [and] delicious,” with “lyrics that draw blood and melodies that stick in the brain,” eliciting “raucous, borderline orgasmic reactions.” The New York Times declared that “Bush-hating has become fun again!” BUSH IS BAD is directed and choreographed by Gary Slavin with musical direction by Rosenblum. Costumes are by Anne Auberjonois, with lighting and sound by Tonya Pierre.

Song titles include “How Can 59 Million People Be So Dumb?,” “Good Conservative Values,” “The Gay Agenda,” and “New Hope for the Fabulously Wealthy.” There are also riffs on how famous composers of the past would have treated the “Bush is Bad” theme, with German Romantic composer Robert Schumann’s “Das Busch ist Schlecht,” and a transformation of Kurt Weill’s “Surabaya, Johnny” into a lament by Laura Bush called “Sure, You Betcha, Georgie.”


Joshua Rosenblum has served as conductor and/or pianist for fourteen Broadway and Off-Broadway shows, including Miss Saigon, The Music Man, Falsettos, Wonderful Town, and, most recently, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Rosenblum is the composer and co-lyricist of Fermat’s Last Tango and his musical Einstein’s Dreams received its world premiere in Lisbon last fall. Some of his compositions can be heard on the CD, Impetuosities—Music of Joshua Rosenblum As a pianist, he has appeared with the New York Pops at Carnegie Hall, New York Chamber Symphony, New Jersey Symphony, and the American Symphony Orchestra.

Kate Baldwin Broadway: The Full Monty, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Wonderful Town. NY: Opening Doors (Zankel Hall) Babes in Arms, A Connecticut Yankee, Bloomer Girl (City Center Encores!) Wall to Wall Sondheim (Symphony Space) Regional: South Pacific (Helen Hayes Award nom.), Finian's Rainbow (Joseph Jefferson Award nom.), The Sound of Music, Guys and Dolls, Miss Saigon, Passion, Falsettos, The Last Five Years, Baby. Kate just returned from San Francisco’s Orpheum Theatre, playing opposite husband Graham Rowat in White Christmas.

Neal Mayer was on Broadway in Les MisĂ©rables (final company); Off-Broadway: Forbidden Broadway Strikes Back, That’s Life! (Cast Recording) and The Wizard of Oz in Concert (also on TNT). He toured in Golf: the Musical, and has numerous regional credits at North Shore Music Theatre, Arena Stage, Goodspeed, Coronet Theatre (L.A.) and others.

Tom Treadwell has appeared on Broadway in the 20th anniversary production of Annie starring Nell Carter, as well as in the National Tours of Ragtime, Cats and Company. Tom was recently featured in the York Theatre Company’s Miss Liberty, where he had previously appeared in Mata Hari. Regionally, he has performed at the Goodspeed Opera House, Sacramento Music Circus, The Paper Mill Playhouse, The Studio Arena Theatre and The Westchester Broadway Theatre.

Gary Slavin (Director) has been active in the professional theatre for over 23 years. He has choreographed and/or directed for numerous stock: Starlight Indianapolis; Starlight Kansas City – world premiere, The Prince and The Pauper; as well as at numerous regional theatres, and for television (Stop the World…; Loving) and in Europe (Little Shop of Horrors tour.)

Triad Theater Comments on Closing of the Show Kabbalah

The show Kabbalah has closed prematurely & prior to the end of it's scheduled run. There has been quite a bit of National Press lately about the show on Larry King, Access Hollywood, Inside Edition, Star Magazine, Entertainment Weekly etc. since the Star of the show was Emily Stern (Howard Stern's daughter). Emily apparently felt that word was getting around the Howard Stern fan community that she was in the show & she felt from what we have heard that the director was publicizing her appearence or singling her out for publicity. All we can say here at the Triad was that no one on the entire staff knew Emily was Howard's daughter. It was kept a secret from us and we only found out about it through the news media ourselves. The show was reviewed by the NY Times on Page 2 of the weekend section on November 25th so had attracted a lot of press prior to anyone knowing Emily was in it. Emily along with all the other actors did a fine job in the show and it was a pleasure to have them at the Triad for the limited run that was the show Kabbalah.

Daddy’s fame has her bailing

Wedding Services Search
BY ROBERT KAHN
STAFF WRITER

January 4, 2006

Howard Stern's daughter Emily has pulled out of a satirical stage performance in which she appears nude, apparently worried that enemies of her father would distribute pictures of her on the Internet.

Emily Stern, 22, has starred since "November in "Kaballah," staged by the Jewish Theater of New York at the Triad Theater, 158 W. 72nd St. She has been playing Madonna, the pop singer who gained an interest in the mystic Jewish form of study.

Yesterday, the company abruptly canceled its scheduled performances for this week at the 136-seat theater, saying Stern had dropped out after learning that she had become the subject of rumors on several Howard Stern fan club Web sites.

"She's very scared now," said Isi Tenonbom, a spokeswoman for the Jewish Theater, who said the company was looking for a replacement actress.

Tenonbom said that members of at least one fan club had left "vulgar" comments about Emily in online chat rooms, "thus creating the possibility that throngs of them would come to take her pictures in compromising poses."

The operator of one site said he was aware that some nude photos of Emily had made their way to the Web, and that site administrators were attempting to have them removed.

Tenonbom said the company had previously agreed not to divulge Stern's relationship to the talk show host, whose morning program enters a second life Monday on satellite radio.

A Web site for "Kaballah," www.jewish theater.org, says only that the lead, Madonna, will be played by a "Long Island-born-and-raised Jewish actress, the talented Emily Stern."

Tuvia Tenonbom, the show's director, said Stern's departure puts the rest of the cast "in a very tough spot."

Isi Tenonbom said Emily Stern's mother, Alison, had seen the show but that Howard had not and that he did not want his daughter to do the show because his enemies would exploit the situation.

A spokesman for Howard Stern could not be reached for comment last night.

A HUNDRED YEARS OF BREAK-THROUGH SONGS BY WOMEN

NEW OFF-BROADWAY REVUE "HER SONG" WORLD PREMIERES AT TRIAD BEGINNING JANUARY 14

A HUNDRED YEARS OF BREAK-THROUGH SONGS BY WOMEN

OUTSTANDING CAST OF LEADING LADIES INCLUDES B.J. CROSBY, NINA HENNESSY, TERRI
KLAUSNER AND DEBORAH TRANELLI

(December 16, 2005) "Her Song," a new musical revue celebrating the musical
milestones of some of the most influential women songwriters of the past
century, begins performances at The Triad Theatre, 158 West 72nd Street, on Saturday
January 14 at 7pm. Co-conceived and co-written by Brenda and Barry Levitt,
"Her Song" is directed by Barry Levitt, the longtime former music and artistic
director of the 92nd Street Y's prestigious "Lyrics and Lyricists" concert
series. The world premiere Off-Broadway engagement of "Her Song" (which is
open-ended, with an opening date to be announced) is produced by Barbara M. Fisher,
Ed & Dot Slade, and Michael Tanchum. Performances are Saturdays at 7pm and
Sundays at 3pm. Tickets are $40 and are on sale now through TheaterMania.com at
(212) 352-3101 or online at www.theatermania.com (There is a 2 drink minimum.) Running time is 90 minutes.

The cast-of-four stars a power-pack of leading ladies -- B.J. Crosby, Nina
Hennessy, Terri Klausner and Deborah Tranelli. Under the music direction of
Barry Levitt, "Her Song" pours out a cornucopia of hits, novelty songs and
obscure curiosities by a wide variety of some of the finest female tunesmiths
America has ever produced. This panoramic compendium of songs by women, stretching
as far back as Nora Bayes (who wrote the lyrics to "Shine On Harvest Moon" for
the Ziegfeld Follies of 1908) all the way to Dolly Parton's "9 to 5" and
beyond, traces the accomplishments of multiple generations of women songwriters.

Taken as a whole, the impact of these women writers, who write or wrote for
the stage, film and popular recordings, is still vastly underrated. While some
toiled for others, and many performed their own creations, the range of
musical and generational styles and sensibilities is stunning and illuminating.
Among the songwriters and singer-songwriters represented are Dorothy Fields,
Carolyn Leigh, Peggy Lee, Billie Holliday, Edith Piaf, Carole King, Stevie Nicks,
Carly Simon, Donna Summer, Marilyn Bergman, Betty Comden and Cynthia Weil.

Among the songs interpreted in "Her Song" are such timely touchstones as "The
Way We Were" (Bergman), "Natural Woman" (King), "God Bless the Child"
(Holiday), "A Good Day" (Lee) "The Way You Look Tonight" (Fields), "La Vie en Rose"
(Edith Piaf) and "America the Beautiful" penned by a so-called one-hit wonder
Katharine Lee Bates.

The Tony-nominated B.J. Crosby starred on Broadway in the Grammy-winning
"Smokey Joe's Café," as well as in "One Mo' Time," Harlem Song," "Chicago" and
"The Life." Nina Hennessy was featured on Broadway in "Cats," "Les Miserables,"
"Dream Girls," and "Annie" among others. Terri Klausner performed the starring
role in "Evita" on tour and Broadway and was featured in "A Chorus Line" and
"Sophisticated Ladies." Deborah Tranelli was Phyllis for eleven seasons on
Dallas, and starred Off-Broadway in "Tallulah's Party" as well as in
touring/regional productions of "Company," "Kismet" and "Man of La Mancha."

Barry Levitt, the producing artistic director of "Lyrics and Lyricists" from
1997 to 2003, is the highly acclaimed Broadway music director, arranger and
conductor whose list of credits include "Little Shop of Horrors," "Swinging on a
Star," "Catskills on Broadway," "Rockefeller Center Christmas on Ice,"
"Taking my Turn" on Great Performances on PBS, and as guest conductor of The Boston
Pops, The New York Pops at Carnegie Hall, The Detroit Pops and The St. Louis
Pops.

“THE ACCIDENTAL PERVERT” INFILTRATES MANHATTAN

THE ACCIDENTAL PERVERT” INFILTRATES MANHATTAN

A Revealing Comedic Solo Show About An Ex-Porn Addict Who Poignantly Transforms His Life Through Love

New York, NY – The Triad Theater is proud to present a limited engagement of The Accidental Pervert, written and performed by Andrew Goffman, and directed by Charles Messina (Cirque Jacqueline, Mercury). Performances will run from February 2, 2006 to February 24, 2006 at The Triad Theater (158 West 72nd St.) in NYC. 10% of the proceeds from the show will go to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids.

The Accidental Pervert is an unexpectedly warmhearted one-man show about a boy’s coming of age via a childhood studded with perpetual pornography. When young Andrew happens upon his father’s collection of pornographic videotapes, it sparks an addiction to pornography that affects the way he sees women, sexuality and himself. Only when he later falls in love and has a daughter is he able to challenge his views.

Playwright/Actor Andrew Goffman takes his audience on a hilarious and self-deprecating journey into his world of video vixens, shocking pictorials, and an array of X-Rated fantasies, illuminating his struggle to define what it means to be a man, from puberty into adulthood.

Andrew Goffman has been touring the comedy circuit since 1997, performing in over 150 comedy clubs including: Caroline’s, Catch A Rising Star, The Comic Strip, Rascals and across the border in Canada’s popular Yuk Yuks. As an actor, he has appeared in such films as The First Wives Club and the independent comedy, The Stand In. On stage, Andy performed at New York’s Soho Playhouse in the Off-Broadway hit Grandma Sylvia’s Funeral.

Director Charles Messina is best known for his work on the Off-Broadway hit Cirque Jacqueline, the one-woman show about the life of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Messina also directed and penned the Off-Broadway hit monodrama Mercury: The Afterlife and Times of a Rock God, about the life of rocker Freddie Mercury. Currently, Messina is directing the musical Be My Love, about the tragic life of legendary tenor Mario Lanza, which is being produced by Sonny Grosso and Phil Ramone.
