Jessica Pavone<\/p><\/div>\n

A solo viola concert might not seem to be the most interesting of choices for an evening of musical entertainment. But, if the artist onstage is Jessica Pavone, then all preconceived expectations fly out the window.<\/span><\/p>\n

When Pavone performs her solo viola concerts, audiences get drawn into her complex compositions. Boredom never becomes an issue.<\/span><\/p>\n

Area fans will get to experience Pavone in concert when she performs at Fire Museum Presents show on February 21 at Vox Populi \u00a0(319 North 11th Street, Philadelphia, http:\/\/firemuseumpresents.com\/events\/jessica-pavone<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Pavone (composer, viola, violin, electric bass) has performed in innumerable improvisation, avant jazz, experimental, folk, soul, and chamber ensembles since moving to New York City two decades ago. She currently leads her own string ensemble and plays with the band JOBS and in a duo with guitarist Mary Halvorson. Pavone also performs in Anthony Braxton\u2019s Tri-Centric Orchestra and as a solo violist.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was in music school, we were learning classical,\u201d said Pavone, during a phone interview last week from her home in Queens, New York. \u201cMy taste in music is much wider.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNear the end of school, I got into improvisation. That made me aware of this type of creative music.\u00a0 A friend took me to a concert by Anthony Braxton and that opened my mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFrom improvisation, I got into composition. I thought \u2013 what if I took the things I thought were great and formed them into a composition. I started writing music and putting ensembles together. Leroy Jenkins was a huge inspiration because he played my instrument.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

As an instrumentalist, Pavone has worked with and interpreted new music by Aaron Seigel, Andrew Raffo Dewar, Elliott Sharp, Glenn Branca, Henry Threadgill, Leo Smith, Jason Ajemian, Jason Cady, Jeremiah Cymerman, John King, Matana Roberts, Matthew Welch, Tristan Perich, Tyondai Braxton and William Parker. She has also played strings in bands such as Christy and Emily, Pure Horsehair, White Blue Yellow and Clouds, Joy Mega, and The Artificials.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up in Pelham, New York,\u201d said Pavone. \u201cMusic was a personal choice. When I was three, I started asking for a violin. When I was five, I was still asking for a violin, so my parents got me lessons. I liked violin because I liked the sound. I was taking violin lessons for a while and then switched to viola when I was in junior high. I wanted to study cello. With viola, I liked the lower sound.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy main instrument now is viola. I picked up playing upright bass when I was in high school. Then, I learned electric bass — which I still play. After college, I started composing. I studied music and viola at Hartt School of Music in Hartford, Connecticut. Then, I got a master\u2019s degree in composition at the Brooklyn College Conservatory of Music.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ever since then, Pavone has been an in-demand artist as a player and a composer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pavone has toured extensively throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe, performing in venues ranging from international music festivals, universities, and art galleries, to community centers and basements. Her music has premiered in venues in New York City such as, Roulette, Issue Project Room, and The Kitchen, and at the Klangbad Festival in Sheer, Germany. In 2011 she was featured in NPR\u2019s \u201cThe Mix: 100 Composers Under 40.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Pavone\u2019s music is available from Taiga Records, Tzadik, Thirsty Ear, Relative Pitch, Porter, Skirl, and Peacock Recordings. She is now touring in support of her new album \u201cIn the Action\u201d on Relative Pitch Records.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis tour is for the new album,\u201d said Pavone. \u201cI\u2019ve released three solo viola albums \u2013 one in 2014, one in 2016 and the new one. The show will be a mixture of all three, but I\u2019ll be focusing on \u2018In the Action.\u2019 I\u2019m playing viola and a simple chain of pedals.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn the Action\u201d <\/span><\/em>follows Pavone\u2019s previous LPs \u201cKnuckle Under<\/em> (Taiga Records, 2014) and \u201cSilent Spills\u201d<\/em> (Relative Pitch, 2016), and is the third in a series of solo viola albums that connect Pavone’s interest in the tactile experience and use of the body while creating sounds — a consistent theme she has explored in her compositional process.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pavone\u2019s recent works for solo viola and voice stem from years of concentrated long tone practice and an interest in repetition, song form, and sympathetic vibration. She combines her long tone rituals with delay, understated melodies and sparse lyrical content while continuously experimenting with new forms. She is interested in the physicality of performing her somewhat larger-than-comfortable instrument and believes that cultivating physical bodies as a strong container for her thoughts is part of the creative process.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe solo record is a combination of myself as a composer and a performer,\u201d said Pavone. \u201cAs a composer, I think of overall form. I\u2019ll draw images \u2013 shapes of where I see it starting and ending. Often, I begin with a middle piece.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, I\u2019ve been working in the studio. My composer brain came back and I\u2019m writing for a string ensemble \u2013 for eight string players.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

For the show in Philly, Pavone has to concentrate on one string player \u2013 herself on viola \u2013 and that\u2019s more than sufficient.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The show on February 21 at Vox Populi will start at 8 p.m. Tickets are $8.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another Fire Museum Presents show this weekend will feature Joe Morris & Dawn Webster and the Chad Brown Sesi D\u00f6ng\u00fcler Duo on February 22 at United States House Gallery 1816.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

John Ford Coley<\/p><\/div>\n

There have been many famous duos in rock music over the years such as Ashford & Simpson, Sam and Dave, Richard and Linda Thompson, Fripp & Eno, Sonny and Cher, Ike and Tina Turner. Some of them get back together years after they have separated. Others will never be able to reconnect because of the death of one of the members.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of the well-known have even formed duos with other truncated-by-death duos such as Peter and Jeremy \u2013 the fusion of Jeremy Clyde from Chad & Jeremy and Peter Asher, whose partner in Peter and Gordon (Gordon Waller) passed away in 2009.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then there is England Dan & John Ford Coley.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dan Seals (England Dan) and Coley, who went to high school together in Dallas, Texas, formed their musical duo in the early 1970s and released their debut album \u201cEngland Dan & John Ford Coley\u201d in 1971.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the next decade, they had three Number One hits \u2013 \u201cI\u2019d Really Love to See You Tonight,\u201d \u201cWe\u2019ll Never Have to Say Goodbye Again\u201d and \u201cLove Is the Answer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The duo split in 1980 when Seals decided to pursue a career in country music, where he found success throughout the 1980s, scoring hits with \u201cMeet Me in Montana\u201d (with Marie Osmond) and \u201cBop.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Any chance of a reunion down the road evaporated when Seals died in March 2009 following treatment for mantle cell lymphoma.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the duo disbanded, Coley began an acting career and made several television and film appearances in the 1980s.\u00a0He returned to an active touring schedule in the 1990s, along with serving as co-producer for artists such as Eddie Money.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coley has also written his autobiography, \u201cBackstage Pass,\u201d which tells fascinating tales of his many years in the music business. He still undertakes a busy tour schedule — performing to devoted audiences worldwide.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI play around 50 shows a year,\u201d said Coley, during a phone interview last week from his home in Nashville, Tennessee.<\/span><\/p>\n

His current tour brings him to the area for a show on February 22 at Sellersville Theater (24 West Temple Avenue, Sellersville, 215-257-5808,\u00a0<\/span>www.st94.com<\/a><\/span>).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI still enjoy travelling and seeing places,\u201d said Coley. \u201cThis will be the first time I\u2019ve played the Sellersville Theater. I\u2019ve heard about it for a long time \u2013 heard a lot of good things about it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Coley\u2019s most recent album is \u201cEclectic.\u201d It was released in 2016 so this is hardly an album support tour for the disc.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI made my last album about two years ago,\u201d said Coley, who has more than a dozen albums on his musical resume. \u201cIt\u2019s just me. I had all these songs. People have the impression that if you\u2019re not on the radio, you\u2019re not working. That\u2019s not true at all.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the songs on it were written in 1983 and some are current. The album is called \u2018Eclectic.\u2019 I cut it with a friend of mine \u2013 producer Tom Wurth. It has a wide variety of styles.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always been trained in a lot of different styles \u2013 from folk to show\u2026from opera to country. This album has classical, pop, folk, jazz and rock. The variety is there because it\u2019s just what I do. I\u2019m not interested with getting on the radio.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m doing this because I enjoy playing for people. My set list has only three or four songs from \u2018Eclectic.\u2019 I learned a long time ago that people don\u2019t relate to songs they don\u2019t know. So, I play England Dan & John Ford Coley songs. I\u2019ll always play \u2018Love Is the Answer,\u2019 \u2018Gone Too Far\u2019 and \u2018I\u2019d Really Love to See You Tonight.\u2019 People come to the show to go down Memory Lane.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The show at the Sellersville Theater, which has The Cryers as the opening act, will start at 8 p.m. Ticket prices range from $25-$39.50.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other upcoming shows at the Sellersville Theater are Teada on February 21, Jaimoe\u2019s Jasssz Band on February 23, James McMurtry on February 24, Corey Smith on February 25, Gaelic Storm on February 26 and The Fitzgeralds: Fiddle & Step Dance on February 27.<\/span><\/p>\n

Theater fans who like lively musicals with energetic female leads and popular stories are in for an \u201cell<\/i>\u201d of a good time this weekend with visiting national tours featuring Cinderell<\/i>a and Ell<\/i>e Woods.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Cinderella<\/p><\/div>\n

From February 22-24, the Kimmel Center (Broad and Spruce streets, Philadelphia, 215-731-3333, <\/span>www.kimmelcenter.org<\/a><\/span>) will host \u201cRodgers + Hammerstein\u2019s Cinderella\u201d as part of its Broadway Philadelphia series. On February 23 and 24, the Playhouse on Rodney Square (10th and Market streets, Wilmington, Delaware, 302-888-0200, www. duponttheatre.com<\/a>) will present the national tour of \u201cLegally Blonde,\u201d the story of Elle Woods.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCinderella,\u201d one of the most popular fairy tales in the world, exists in many forms \u2013 more than you would imagine.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCinderella,\u201d or \u201cThe Little Glass Slipper,\u201d is a folk tale with thousands of variants throughout the world. The oldest documented version comes from China, and the oldest European version from Italy.<\/span><\/p>\n

The most popular version was first published by Charles Perrault<\/a> in \u201cHistoires ou contes du temps pass\u00e9\u201d in 1697 and later by the Brothers Grimm<\/a> in their folk tale collection \u201cGrimms\u2019 Fairy Tales.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The story of Cinderella has formed the basis of many notable works in opera, books, ballet, songs, theater, films, and television.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a stage production, \u201cCinderella\u201d debuted as a pantomime on stage at the Drury Lane Theatre, London in 1904 and at the Adelphi Theatre in London in 1905.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCinderella\u201d by Rodgers and Hammerstein was produced for television three times and staged live. The only Rodgers and Hammerstein musical written for television, it was originally broadcast live on CBS in 1957 as a vehicle for Julie Andrews, who played the title role.<\/span><\/p>\n

The musical has also been adapted for the stage in a number of versions, including a London West End<\/a> pantomime adaptation, a New York City Opera production that follows the original television version closely and several touring productions.<\/span><\/p>\n

A recent adaptation opened in 2013 on Broadway and now has been followed by a national tour.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella\u201d is the Tony Award-winning musical from the creators of \u201cSouth Pacific\u201d and \u201cThe Sound of Music\u201d that’s delighting audiences with its surprisingly contemporary take on the classic tale. This lush production features an incredible orchestra, jaw-dropping transformations, and all the moments you love — the pumpkin, the glass slipper, the masked ball, and more — plus some surprising new twists.<\/span><\/p>\n

During a phone interview last week from a tour stop in Charleston, South Carolina, Lukas James Miller, who plays the role of Topher, said, \u201cThis production has been out for seven years and started back in October. It has the familiar things like the fairy godmother and carriage and horses. It also has a couple new characters and a couple different plot points.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cStill, there is the overriding fairy tale. I really like this iteration of the show because of the message it sends without being too preachy \u2013 the message of being kind to one another.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Miller grew up in an almost fairy tale existence in the Blue Ridge Mountains.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe lived up a dirt road in alog cabin that my dad built,\u201d said Miller. \u201cWe had to chop wood to heat the house. I was isolated except for school. I started doing theater in high school because it had the nicer kids.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, Miller is an actor, singer, and dancer who recently finished\u00a0his degree in Musical Theatre at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI auditioned in New York in June,\u201d said Miller. \u201cI had heard of it and listened to the soundtrack \u2013 but I had never seen it. Before auditioning, I watched videos, so I was familiar with it. I was looking at the role of Topher.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI like that Topher isn\u2019t the cut-and-dry leading man. He is a young man who is just finding his real self. One of the biggest challenges is to honor the fact that he isn\u2019t a stereotypical prince character.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The touring play is a tribute to the enduring popularity of the story of Cinderella.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAudiences like this show because it rally is just an ageless story \u2013 something that is relatable to audiences of any age,\u201d said Miller. \u201cIt\u2019s really positive and uplifting.\u00a0 And, it\u2019s just a fun thing to watch.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Video link for \u201cCinderella\u201d — https:\/\/youtu.be\/5G81B9Ge3Pk\/<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Performances are scheduled for February 22 at 7:30 p.m.; February 23 at 2 and 7:30 p.m. and February 24 at 1 and 6:30 p.m. Ticket prices range from $20-$124.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>On February 23 and 24, the First National Tour of \u201cLegally Blonde — The Musical\u201d will make a two-day, three-show stop at the Playhouse on Rodney Square as part of the theater\u2019s Broadway in Wilmington series.<\/span><\/p>\n

Based on the beloved movie, \u201cLegally Blonde,\u201d the touring musical follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she tackles stereotypes, sexism, snobbery and scandal in pursuit of her dreams, and proves that you can be legally blonde and the smartest person in the room at the same time. The contemporary, sassy musical moves at a breakneck pace driven by memorable songs and explosive dances. \u201cLegally Blonde — The Musical\u201d warms the heart by proving that self-discovery never goes out of style.<\/span><\/p>\n

Elle Woods appears to have it all. Her life is turned upside down, however, when her boyfriend dumps her so he can start getting more serious about his life and attend Harvard Law. Determined to get him back, Elle uses her ingenuity and charm to get into Harvard too. School begins with endless struggles.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, with the help of her new friends, Elle quickly realizes her potential, and her true assets, as she sets out to prove herself to the world and make everyone a believer.<\/span><\/p>\n

During a phone interview last week from a tour stop in Waterbury, Connecticut, Jill Taylor Anthony, who plays Paulette, said, \u201cPeople who love the movie, will love the musical because of the story. The show is very different from the book. It\u2019s closer to the movie than the book. If you\u2019re a fan of the movie, you\u2019ll see the full story.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

When \u201cLegally Blonde\u201d became a box-office hit in 2001, it came as no surprise to movie buffs. The film was funny, fast-paced and featured a well-cast Reese Witherspoon in the title role. It also was a Golden Globe Award<\/a> nominee for Best Motion Picture: Musical or Comedy.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, it\u2019s unlikely that back in 2001, anyone would have predicted the continuing success of \u201cLegally Blonde\u201d and its spinoffs. There was a popular 2003<\/a> sequel —\u00a0\u201cLegally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde\u201d \u2013 followed by a direct-to-DVD sequel in 2009 titled \u201cLegally Blondes\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s not all.<\/span><\/p>\n

MTV presented its \u201cLegally Blonde: The Search for Elle Woods\u201d reality show in 2009. And, the original story was converted to a stage production. \u201c<\/span>Legally Blonde — The Musical\u201d premiered in January 2007 in San Francisco. Three months later, it moved to New York City and had its Broadway premiere at the Palace Theatre. It also has toured the country several times over the last decade.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 2019 National Tour of Legally Blonde is produced by Daniel Sher of Big League Productions, Inc. The musical is directed by Jeff Moss, with choreography by Bob Richard.\u00a0 Set design is by Randel Wright, lighting by Kirk Bookman, costumes by Derek Lockwood, video design by Jon Infante, and casting by Alison Franck.<\/span><\/p>\n

In every version of \u201cLegally Blonde\u201d, Elle Woods is the main character \u2013 a character who endears herself to the audience. Elle is a very good person with a big heart. She\u2019s very optimistic. In the show, Elle grows and learns to be more than just her hair and her clothes. Another main character is Paulette, the hairdresser.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPaulette is presented a little differently in the movie,\u201d said Anthony, who is from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. \u201cIn the musical, she is developed a little more in a different direction.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a fun process bringing myself to this role. The production team allowed us to bring our own stuff to it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI love everything about Paulette. It\u2019s one of my favorite roles. She speaks her mind and has a huge heart. She is broken but is on a journey to find herself. She is outspoken but also very tender-hearted. She lives life out loud.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

One of Paulette\u2019s moments to shine in the show is the \u201cBend and Snap\u201d number.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Bend and Snap\u2019 is so much fun,\u201d said Taylor, a graduate of Oklahoma University. \u201cIt\u2019s the most fun song ever. I even asked to sing it at auditions back in September.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnother reason audiences love this show is because the music is such fun \u2013 such a great way to tell the story. It\u2019s a human desire to be known as an individual and most of us have been pigeon-holed. This show shows people overcoming obstacles and people can relate to that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
