Friday, May 4th at 8:00PM
Saturday, May 5th at 2:00PM and 8:00PM
Sunday, May 6th at 1:30PM and 7:00PM
The New York Times calls Les Misérables “an unquestionably spectacular production from start to finish.” The London Times hails the new show “a five star hit, astonishingly powerful and as good as the original.” The Star-Ledger says "a dynamically re-imagined hit. This Les Misérables has improved with age” and NY1-TV proclaims “this new production actually exceeds the original. The storytelling is clearer, the perspective grittier and the motivations more honest. Musical theatre fans can rejoice: Les Miz is born again.”
“I’m delighted that 25 years after Les Miz originally opened in London, the audience for this marvelous show is bigger and younger than ever before,” said producer Cameron Mackintosh. “Over the years, I have seen many successful but visually different productions, so it has been exciting to draw inspiration from the brilliant drawings and paintings of Victor Hugo himself, integrated with spectacular projections. The new Les Miz is a magnificent mix of dazzling images and epic staging, driving one of the greatest musical stories ever told.”
Based on Victor Hugo’s classic novel, Les Misérables is an epic and uplifting story about the survival of the human spirit. The magnificent score of Les Misérables includes the classic songs “I Dreamed a Dream,” “On My Own,” “Stars,” “Bring Him Home,” “Do You Hear the People Sing?,” “One Day More,” “Empty Chairs at Empty Tables,” “Master Of The House” and many more.
Cameron Mackintosh’s new production of Boublil and Schönberg’s Les Misérables has music by Claude-Michel Schönberg, lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer from the original French text by Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel, additional material by James Fenton and original adaptation by Trevor Nunn and John Caird. The original Les Misérables orchestrations are by John Cameron with new orchestrations by Christopher Jahnke and additional orchestrations by Stephen Metcalfe and Stephen Brooker. The production is directed by Laurence Connor and James Powell, designed by Matt Kinley inspired by the paintings of Victor Hugo with costumes by Andreane Neofitou and additional costumes by Christine Rowlands, lighting by Paule Constable, sound by Mick Potter, musical staging by Michael Ashcroft and projections by Fifty-Nine Productions.
Les Misérables originally opened in London at the Barbican Theatre on October 8, 1985, transferred to the Palace Theatre on December 4, 1985 and moved to its current home at the Queen’s Theatre on April 3, 2004 where it continues to play to packed houses. When Les Misérables celebrated its 21st London birthday on October 8, 2006, it became the World’s Longest-Running Musical, surpassing the record previously held by Cats in London’s West End.
In celebration of its 25th anniversary, the legendary musical Les Misérables made theatrical history with an international first - three different productions in London at the same time. The Original Production (still
playing to packed houses at the Queen’s Theatre), the acclaimed New 25th Anniversary Production at the Barbican (where the show originally premiered) and a celebratory concert at The O2 Arena. The O2 Concert was presented in over 500 cinemas throughout the United States on November 17, 2010 and is now available on Blu-ray DVD through Universal Studios Home Entertainment.
The Broadway production of Les Misérables originally opened at the Broadway Theatre on March 12, 1987 and transferred to the Imperial Theatre on October 17, 1990 running for 6,680 performances. The US National Tour began in November 1987 and visited over 150 cities before closing in St. Louis, MO in 2006. Broadway audiences welcomed Les Miz back to New York on November 9, 2006 where the show played the Broadhurst Theatre until its final performance on January 6, 2008. To date, Les Misérables remains the 3rd longest-running Broadway production of all time.
Seen by nearly 60 million people worldwide in 42 countries and in 21 languages, Les Misérables is undisputedly one of the world’s most popular musicals ever written, with new productions continually opening around the globe, with seven more currently scheduled. There have been 36 cast recordings of Les Misérables, including the multi-platinum London cast recording, the Grammy Award-winning Broadway cast and complete symphonic albums and the soon to be released live recording of the New 25th Anniversary Production. The video of the 10th Anniversary Royal Albert Hall Gala Concert has sold millions of copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling musical videos ever in the UK. There are over 2,500 productions of the Les Misérables School’s Edition scheduled or being performed by over 125,000 school children in the UK, US and Australia, making it the most successful musical ever produced in schools. Cameron Mackintosh is currently developing the film of Les Misérables with Working Title and Universal.

THE MALE INTELLECT: AN OXYMORON?
THE ARTIST SERIES PRESENTS
ROBERT DUBAC’S
THE MALE INTELLECT: AN OXYMORON?
APRIL 10th - APRIL 15th
WILSON CENTER FOR THE ARTS
When:
Tuesday, April 10th through Sunday, April 15th
7 performances, matinee and evening shows
Where:
Wilson Center for the Arts
Florida State College at Jacksonville’s South Campus
11901 Beach Blvd.
Jacksonville, FL 32246
What:
‘Hilarious’ is the only way to describe THE MALE INTELLECT: AN OXYMORON? as Robert Dubac ransacks his brain to answer the age old question, "What do women want?" This hit one-man show pinpoints the differences between the sexes and celebrates them with 90 minutes of non-stop laughter. It is a multi-character comedy with Dubac playing all roles.
Tickets start at $31.50 and are on sale now by phone at (904) 632-3373 or online at www.artistseriesjax.org. Discounts are available for groups of 10+ by calling (904) 632-3228 or groupsales@fscj.edu.
When the show opens, we meet "Bobby" in a very confused state having been dumped by the girl of his dreams. Unable to understand why, he channels some not-so-wise, but hilarious, advice from his five chauvinistic mentors. With a shrug of his shoulders or a crook of his neck Robert Dubac seamlessly transforms himself into these five alter egos; each offering their own brand of misguided advice. They are:
THE COLONEL who insists that the key to what women want is honesty, hence all men should admit they're boneheads so they always have an out.
JEAN-MICHEL who says communication is what women want.…and communicating with double-talk and mindless metaphors is completely acceptable as long as you speak with a sexy accent.
FAST EDDIE who gives women want they want - passion! But he doles it out from the fast lane professing men have to "love 'em fast and leave 'em first."
OLD MR. LINGER who believes women want a sense of humor. He understands women can play hard to get. He also understands that if a man plays hard to get – he doesn’t get anything. Old Mr. Linger is 123 years old and believes he has discovered the secret to life - remaining single.
RONNIE CABREZZI who believes all that women want is some sensitivity. He also thinks sharing your secrets makes you sensitive. However, the kind of secrets he shares with his fiancé, Lucy, just piss her off.
Bobby realizes that their suggestions are worthless, but with help from his "feminine side," he is able to sift through the bad advice and discover the real answer to the age-old question, "What do women want?" - all while drinking a beer. Brace yourself, ladies, this is how men think! There are two types of people who should rush and see it - men and women.

MUSEUM OF THE MOVING IMAGE ANNOUNCES FIRST-EVER RETROSPECTIVE OF ERNIE KOVACS AND EDIE ADAMS
Opening night panel on April 27 moderated by comedian
Robert Klein, with participants Harold Prince, Jeff Greenfield, David Bianculli
and Ben Model
Retrospective from April 27–May 27, 2012, marks Kovacs’s
60th anniversary on network television and the 50th anniversary
of Here’s Edie variety show
Museum
of the Moving Image and Ediad Productions, announced today a month-long
retrospective from April 27 through May 27, 2012, of one of television’s most
talented and beloved married couples, legendary comedian Ernie Kovacs (www.erniekovacs.com)
and Tony Award-winning entertainer Edie Adams (www.edieadams.com).
The retrospective, the first to feature the careers of both
Ernie Kovacs and Edie Adams, will kick off at Museum of the Moving Image in New
York on Friday, April 27, with a celebrity panel discussion moderated by
comedian and actor Robert Klein, and featuring legendary Broadway producer
Harold Prince, newsman Jeff Greenfield, television critic David Bianculli, and
guest curator Ben Model, a film and television historian and archivist for the estates
of both Ernie Kovacs and Edie Adams. The panel discussion will include rare
clips from both performers. Daily through May 27, compilations of both Kovacs
and Adams’s shows will play continuously in TV Lounge, an artwork by Jim
Isermann, in the Museum’s core exhibition Behind the Screen. On May 19 and 20,
a special compilation for children, “Kovacs for Kids,” will offer an
introduction for families to Ernie Kovacs’s playful and endlessly inventive
comedy, often filled with tricks and surprises, designed to delight audiences
of all ages.
Edie Adams’s son, Josh Mills, who controls rights to the
works of both his mother and Kovacs, provided the shows that will be screened
and will attend the retrospective’s opening on April 27.
This retrospective coincides with two milestones in the
performers’ careers. The year 2012 is the 60thanniversary of
Kovacs’s network television debut on Kovacs Unlimited on CBS, and is also the
50th anniversary of Edie Adams Here’s Edie pilot which debuted
on April 9, 1962 on ABC.
“Ernie Kovacs is one of the most admired and influential
comic artists ever to work in the television medium,” said the Museum’s Chief
Curator, David Schwartz. “His inventive, self-reflexive, boundary-breaking
humor has inspired countless performers, directors, and artists. We are
thrilled to present this month-long retrospective, and also thrilled that it
will put a spotlight on the underrated career of Edie Adams. She was a
brilliant singer, actress, and comedienne, with Kovacs and on her own.”
“Fans of Kovacs’s inventive comedy will be in for a real
treat as we screen episodes of his numerous shows alongside Edie Adams’s
Emmy-nominated series,” said Joshua Mills, President of Ediad Productions,
which runs the Estates of both Kovacs and Adams. “Our archive has many
treasures that have not been seen in 50 or more years. There should be
something new to discover for fans, historians, and academics.”
Ernie Kovacs was a comic genius and a television pioneer
whose inventive use of the medium inspired countless performers, directors, and
video artists. In addition to creating such indelible characters as Percy
Dovetonsils, Matzoh Hepplewhite, and Uncle Gruesome, Kovacs invented a
distinctly modern form of comedy that playfully subverted the television medium.
The gifted singer/performer Edie Adams was his on-screen partner and his wife.
Kovacs and Adams first performed together on the Kovacs-hosted WPTZ show “Three
to Get Ready” in Philadelphia in 1951, married in 1954, and appeared on screen
consistently—on all four networks—until Kovacs’s death in 1962. While
performing with her husband on television, Adams steadily built a career as a
Broadway entertainer, appearing on stage with Rosalind Russell in “Wonderful
Town” (1953) whose stage manager was Hal Prince. Edie’s second leading role on
Broadway won her a Tony Award for her role as Daisy Mae in “Li’l Abner” (1956).
After Kovacs’s death in 1962, Adams was given the
opportunity to host her own variety series Here’s Edie and later The Edie Adams
Show (1963). These were half-hour shows that alternated weeks with The Sid
Caesar Show and featured iconic jazz and classical performances from Duke
Ellington, Count Basie, Stan Getz and Andre Previn; popular singers Sammy
Davis, Jr., Bobby Darin, Johnny Mathis and Nancy Wilson; comedians such as
Buddy Hackett, Bob Hope, Dick Shawn and Rowan & Martin, as well as actors
Peter Falk, Sir Michael Redgrave and Zsa Zsa Gabor, among others.

Archaic Ornaments
Next up at Bold Hype Gallery is the very talented Beau
Stanton's debut solo show in NYC, titled 'Archaic Ornaments'. The Opening
reception is Thursday April 12 6pm - 9pm. The artist will be present.
Hope we see you there!
Unearthing ancient narratives from the detritus of
industrial decline, where Sirens grapple with sinking ships and Sibyls predict
cataclysmic events, Beau Stanton gilds his apocryphal myth with the graphical
elements of creation, destruction and rebirth, inviting the viewer inside our
collective unconscious ornamented by layers of chipped artifice and the rusted
machinations of time.
The work combines classical oil painting with intricate silk-screened patterns inspired by pre-modern architecture, letterpress printing designs, and decayed infrastructure. To create the unifying foundation for the body of work, Stanton began exploring abandoned 19th century sites around the greater New York City area, collecting photo references, cogs and gears from Staten Island's Rossville Boat Yard, and metal and glass from Brooklyn's Dead Horse Bay. The initial studies of these artifacts were distilled into highly ornate silk-screened compositions. Finally, the pieces are fully rendered with oil paint, manipulating focus, light and perspective.
A member of the third generation of Pop Surrealism, Stanton hails from California and was influenced heavily by the Aesthetic Movement as well as Realist painters Andrew Wyeth and Alphonse Mucha. He relocated to New York after graduation in 2008, and has since been mentored by New York Pop Surrealist Ron English. He has exhibited work with Ad Hoc Art, Gallery Hijinks, Opera New York, and Last Rites Galleries. This is his debut New York solo exhibition.
