JJ Vavrik<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cSomething Rotten\u201d is a Tony Award-nominated\u00a0musical written by brothers Wayne and Karey Kirkpatrick. It was a situation where two brothers wrote a musical about two brothers writing a musical.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
The hilarious comedy is running now through February 23 at the Candlelight Dinner Theatre (2208 Millers Road, Arden, Delaware, www.candlelighttheatredelaware.org<\/a><\/i>).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The show opened on Broadway in 2015 at the St. James Theatre and closed in January 2017 after 742 performances. It was nominated for 10\u00a0Tony Awards, including\u00a0Best Musical, and won one (for Christian Borle as\u00a0Best Featured Actor in a Musical).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Despite the accolades, the show didn\u2019t fare quite as well on the road.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It had a brief National Tour in 2018 that touched down at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The show also launched a Non-Equity\u00a0National Tour beginning in September 2018. That tour visited the area for a run at the Playhouse Theatre in Wilmington in 2019.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
The production at the Candlelight features JJ Vavrik as Nick Bottom, Kaedon Knight as Shakespeare, Nigel Grant, Jr. as Nigel Bottom, Alexa Wilder as Bea and Malik Muhammad as Nostradamus.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI was familiar with this show because my brother Chris Monaco played the same role in a production at the Players Club of Swarthmore,\u201d said Vavrik, during a phone interview Wednesday from his home in Wallingford.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI also listened to the soundtrack a lot. This was a role that was on my bucket list.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI think having a show with a reduced audience familiarity was a benefit. At Candlelight, the actors in the show line up in the lobby after the show to greet the audience members as they leave.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve heard a lot of people say \u2013 \u2018I didn\u2019t know \u2018Something Rotten\u2019 before and now it\u2019s one of my favorites.\u2019 It\u2019s a really fun way to inject joy into people\u2019s lives.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s funnier than a lot of shows. For a stupid comedy, it\u2019s put together really well. For the audience, it\u2019s a fun way to sort the pieces of the puzzle together with all the different references.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The show includes references to numerous musicals.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For example, during the song \u201cA Musical,\u201d Nostradamus and the chorus men don sailor hats, which harkens to several nautical-themed musicals, including\u00a0\u201cSouth Pacific,\u201d \u201cAnything Goes,\u201d, \u201cOn the Town\u201d\u00a0and\u00a0\u201cDames at Sea.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When Nostradamus sings the first \u201cIt\u2019s a musical,\u201d the melody is similar to one from the song \u201cWonderful\u201d from the hit musical \u201cWicked.\u201d \u201cFascinating Rhythm\u201d is a song from\u00a0\u201cLady, Be Good.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Counting \u201c5-6-7-8\u201d is a way of starting dances. It may also be a reference to \u201cI Hope I Get It\u201d from\u00a0\u201cA Chorus Line.\u201d The line \u201cA true, blue, new musical\u201d is backed by the tune of \u201cAll of That Jazz\u201d from\u00a0\u201cChicago.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
However, even long-time Broadway fans could watch four or five performances and still not pick up on all the musical and lyrical references in \u201cSomething Rotten.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Set in 1595, the story follows the Bottom brothers, Nick and Nigel, who struggle to find success in the theatrical world, as they compete with the wild popularity of their contemporary William Shakespeare.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The ultra-humorous comedy tells the story of the Bottom brothers \u2013 two siblings who are desperate to write their own hit play while the \u201crock star\u201d Shakespeare keeps getting all the hits.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world\u2019s very first musical.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Vavrik, who shines in the role of Nick, is a Candlelight veteran. He has performed in five shows at the comfortable dinner theater including \u201cIt\u2019s a Wonderful Life,\u201d \u201cMamma Mia!,\u201d and \u201cSweet Charity.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cBack in 2022, a friend of mine, Will Daniels, dragged me along to aa show at Candlelight,\u201d said Vavrik, an alumnus of Strath Haven High who attended Temple University and graduated in 2019 with a degree in theatre with a concentration in musicals and acting.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cAlso, the director there at Candlelight was Peter Reynolds, and I knew him from when I was a student, and he was a professor at Temple.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Reynolds is currently Head of Musical Theater for the Department of Theater at Temple University and Artistic Director of Philadelphia\u2019s Mauckingbird Theater Co.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In \u201cSomething Rotten,\u201d Vavrik has found ways to relate to Nick Bottoms.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cFor me as a person, I\u2019ve always been a person who puts his head down and works through the problem,\u201d said Vavrik, who also has his own home repair business (www.jjvavrik.com<\/a>).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cNick is a writer without success, but he keeps pushing. He wants to write a hit — to be a playwright and to do something new in theater.<\/div>\n
\u201cI look at him as a character whose heart is beating the right way.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Tickets, which include dinner and show, are $70.50 for adults and $35 for children (ages 4-12).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Last week, it was time for Lunar New Year in many Asian countries \u2013 time to celebrate the \u201cYear of the Snake.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This weekend, it\u2019s time for topflight blues performances in the Philly area \u2013 time to celebrate the \u201cWeekend of the Alligator.\u201d<\/div>\n

Shemekia Copeland<\/p><\/div>\n

This weekend, two of Alligator\u2019s top artists will have shows in the area — Shemekia Copeland on February 7 and Toronzo Cannon on February 8.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Alligator Records was founded in 1971 in Chicago by Bruce Iglauer. Since then, the label has released more than 250 blues and blues\/rock albums.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Alligator has become one of the preeminent blues labels in the country. It has received \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 more than 50 Grammy nominations and four wins \u2014 the first in 1982.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The long list of blues great on Alligator Records includes Elvin Bishop & Charlie Musselwhite, Selwyn Birchwood, Roomful of Blues, Tinsley Ellis, Coco Montoya, Christone \u201cKingfish\u201d Ingram, Marcia Ball, Janiva Magnes \u2013 and, of course, Copeland and Cannon.<\/div>\n
On Friday night, Copeland\u00a0will celebrate the release of her powerful three-time GRAMMY-nominated Alligator Records album,\u00a0\u201cBlame It On Eve,\u201d with a live performance at\u00a0Penn Live Arts\u2019 at Annenberg Center – Zellerbach Theatre (3680 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, www.pennlivearts.org<\/a>).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cBlame It On Eve\u201d earned Copeland the GRAMMY nomination for Best Contemporary Blues Album. For the title track, she received nominations for Best American Roots Performance and for Best American Roots Song (written by John Hahn and Will Kimbrough). She now has a total of eight GRAMMY nominations.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cBlame It On Eve\u201d was recorded in Nashville and produced by instrumentalist\/songwriter Will Kimbrough (who also produced her previous three albums). The songs tackle subjects as important as a woman\u2019s right to choose and climate change but also leave space for Copeland to have fun and unwind.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Copeland possesses one of the most instantly recognizable and deeply soulful roots music voices of our time. She is beloved and honored worldwide for the fearlessness, honesty and humor of her revelatory songs, as well as for her winning, engaging personality.<\/div>\n
Copeland was born in Harlem, New York on April 10, 1979, and came to her singing career naturally. Her bluesman father (the late Johnny Clyde Copeland) recognized his daughter\u2019s talent early on.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He always encouraged her to sing at home and even brought her on stage to sing at Harlem\u2019s famed Cotton Club when she was just eight. At that time Copeland\u2019s embarrassment outweighed her desire to sing.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But when she was 15, and her father\u2019s health began to slow him down, she received the calling. At 16, Copeland joined her father on his tours after he was diagnosed with a degenerative heart condition. Soon enough Copeland was opening, and sometimes even stealing her father\u2019s shows.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Copeland stepped out of her father\u2019s shadow in 1998 with her groundbreaking debut CD \u201cTurn The Heat Up,\u201d which was recorded when she was only 18.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
From her debut through 2005\u2019s\u00a0\u201cThe Soul Truth,\u201d Copeland earned eight Blues Music Awards and a host of\u00a0Living Blues\u00a0Awards. 2000\u2019s\u00a0\u201cWicked\u201d\u00a0received the first of her four Grammy nominations.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
After two successful releases on Telarc (including 2012\u2019s Grammy-nominated\u00a0\u201c33 1\/3\u201d), Copeland returned to Alligator Records in 2015 with the Grammy-nominated, Blues Music Award-winning\u00a0\u201cOutskirts Of Love,\u201d which melded blues with more rootsy, Americana sounds.<\/div>\n
MOJO\u00a0magazine named\u00a0\u201cAmerica\u2019s Child\u201d\u00a0the #1 blues release of 2018. It won both the Blues Music Award and the\u00a0Living Blues\u00a0Award for Album Of The Year.\u00a0Copeland\u2019s groundbreaking 2020 release\u00a0\u201cUncivil War\u201d\u00a0was named the 2020 Blues Album Of The Year by\u00a0DownBeat, MOJO\u00a0and\u00a0Living Blues\u00a0magazines.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Copeland has performed thousands of gigs at clubs, festivals and concert halls all over the world, and has appeared in films, on national television, NPR, and has been the subject of major feature stories in hundreds of magazines, newspapers and internet publications.<\/div>\n
She\u2019s sung with Bonnie Raitt, Keith Richards, Carlos Santana, Dr. John, James Cotton and many others, and has shared a bill with The Rolling Stones. She entertained U.S. troops in Iraq and Kuwait in 2008.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In 2012, she performed with B.B. King, Mick Jagger, Buddy Guy, Trombone Shorty, Gary Clark, Jr. and others at the White House for President and Mrs. Obama. She has showcased on PBS\u2019s\u00a0Austin City Limits\u00a0and was the subject of a six-minute feature on the\u00a0PBS News Hour.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI\u2019m an idea person \u2013 not so much a songwriter,\u201d: said Copeland. \u201cWriting really happens organically with what goes on in the world and what I\u2019m going through.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI work with great songwriters. It\u2019s almost like having songs tailor-made for me. For us, it is not political at all — it\u2019s just about what is happening.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
On February 8, Toronzo Cannon will be performing songs from his new album, \u201cShut Up & Play!\u201d The album was just released on February 7 on Alligator Records.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
With his richly detailed, truth-telling original songs, blistering, inventive guitar work and impassioned vocals, Cannon is on the cutting edge of today\u2019s contemporary blues scene. The Chicago bluesman is known as one of the genre\u2019s most creative artists.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
His sound is inspired by his heroes, including Hound Dog Taylor, Muddy Waters, Elmore James, Albert King, Son Seals and Jimi Hendrix.<\/div>\n
On \u201cShut Up & Play!,\u201d he blazes his own path with 11 emotionally-charged originals. From serious to humorous, Cannon’s imaginative songs are fueled by his powerful, cathartic guitar solos and his soulfully authoritative voice.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cShut Up & Play!\u201d was co-produced by Cannon and Alligator president Bruce Iglauer. The album finds Cannon, a former Chicago Transit Authority bus driver, delivering timeless stories of common experiences, often unfolding in uncommon ways.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
His passionate and focused guitar playing sets his lyrics ablaze.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Cannon has performed at clubs and festivals at major cities all over the U.S. and continues to bring his music directly to his fans. He\u2019s toured Canada, the UK, made his way across Europe and even to Japan.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Now, with \u201cShut Up & Play!,\u201d Cannon delivers his songs with purpose and passion.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
According to Cannon, \u201cIt\u2019s not about the solos — it\u2019s about the songs. People get used to everyday life, so it\u2019s easy to miss the things around them.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI know the problems of Chicago, the hardships. I write about those things. But I love my city, warts and all. I grew up here. It molded me and gave me the people and places I know and love.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cAnd it produced the Chicago blues giants that came here from down south. I\u2019m proud to be from Chicago and to be able to stand on the shoulders of every great Chicago blues musician who came before me.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
All the attention he\u2019s received only makes Cannon more focused. \u201cI feel like I\u2019ve become an ambassador for Chicago blues. People expect a lot from me,\u201d said Cannon. \u201cBut it\u2019s good, because I\u2019m forced to keep upping my game.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Cannon and Iglauer are happy partners.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cBruce produced the new album too,\u201d said Cannon, during a phone interview\u00a0from New York City. \u201cWe recorded it in winter 2023 \u2013 back in November.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWe used JoyRide Studio in Chicago \u2013 the same studio we used for my last two on Alligator. Bruce and I co-produced it and Blaise Barton was the engineer.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI had a little more influence on the production this time. I was more comfortable in the studio \u2013 and I had a lot more ideas.<\/div>\n
\u201cBruce and I are flexible when we\u2019re working together. We do go back and forth. The object is to make the best record we can. I had the band in the studio for two days and then we spent two months mixing.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe songs came in over a period of a year-and-a-half. I got divorced in 2021, so the storyline is about what\u2019s going on post-divorce. You\u2019re used to something for 20 years and then you\u2019re back in the pond.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cBut it is not a bunch of \u2018woe is me\u2019 songs. It\u2019s a great album with a lot of different songs.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
His previous album derived inspiration from his former day job\u00a0as a bus driver for\u00a0CTA.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Cannon retired four years ago. Back then, he talked about the link between his two professions.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe things I see while driving my bus are inspiration for songs,\u201d said Cannon, during an interview a few years ago.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe whole CD (\u201cThe Preacher, The Politician Or The Pimp\u201d) was written on the bus. I get a lot of ideas when I’m driving. I\u2019ve looked back and seen people shooting up heroin in the back of the bus. I\u2019ve had grandmothers fighting on my bus.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Real-life situations are great topics for songwriters. Cannon had\u00a0had the benefit of sitting in a front row seat for years and having the ability to transform what he sees into stellar blues tracks.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cMe being from Chicago and seeing what I see every day exposes me to a lot of tax brackets,\u201d said Cannon. \u201cI talk to people. I don\u2019t know who you are, but you tell me. The other day, I had to coax a guy off my bus in a tough section and then a few minutes later, I\u2019m driving on the \u2018Magnificent Mile,\u2019 which is one of the richest areas in Chicago. My bus goes through a LOT of tax brackets.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Almost every day, Cannon was\u00a0in a great \u2013 and constantly moving \u2013 position to be an observer of life in a big American city.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cMy last album was a funny take on real life,\u201d said Cannon this week. \u201cThis new album is socially conscious.<\/div>\n
\u201cI\u2019m writing real stuff with a slant that is not particularly happy. It\u2019s more bluesy than the last album. It\u2019s music by a bluesman from Chicago.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Cannon grew up on the South Side of Chicago near the Robert Taylor Homes and Theresa\u2019s Lounge where he heard blues artists including Buddy Guy and Junior Wells.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Throughout the history of Chicago blues, the intensely competitive local club scene has served as a proving ground, where only the best musicians rise to the top.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Iconic blues artists from Muddy Waters to Howlin\u2019 Wolf to Koko Taylor to Hound Dog Taylor to Luther Allison all paid their dues in the Chicago blues bars before making their mark on the world.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The same holds true today, as newcomers look to living legends like Buddy Guy, Eddy Clearwater and Lil\u2019 Ed Williams for inspiration in taking their music from Chicago to fans across the globe.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Now, Cannon is ready to write his own story as he claims his place as one of the city\u2019s most popular and innovative blues musicians.<\/div>\n
\u201cI came in the side door of blues,\u201d said Cannon.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI grew up around it. When I started playing guitar, I wanted to play reggae. All the clubs around Chicago were blues clubs. I grew up in the neighborhood of Theresa\u2019s Lounge and never even knew how famous it was until I got older.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI remember hearing all these great blues guys like Buddy Guy and Muddy Waters. Now, I\u2019m a blues musician. I have had some full-circle moments. I play blues for this age.\u201d<\/div>\n
