Vanity Crash and An Evening With(out) David Bowie - Fri June 30 & Sat July 1 - Bop Stop
by Dennis Van Crash via NEohioPAL 21 Jun '17

21 Jun '17

Vanity Crash had some amazing shows these past few weeks. The Glam/Jam Fashion show at the Aquarium, Shaker's Tavern and the Dancing Wheels benefit at Nautica Pavilion Stage are three of them. Thank you to all who attended!!! - Now for what's upcoming: A Crash Course For The Ravers... Dear friends, Many of you attended last January's presentations on David Bowie that we hosted at the BOP STOP. And many of you were unable to attend as four separate shows sold out quickly. Now's your chance to see it, for Friday June 30 and Saturday July 1 we're mounting An Evening With(out) David Bowie, and we've posted a page specifically for folks like you: http://www.BowieShows.com I wanted to send a reminder that we have revised the show and expanded it into two parts. On Fri 6/30 at 7:30PM, we present Early Bowie (through Young Americans), then at 9:30PM it's Mid- to Late-Bowie (Station to Station through Blackstar ★ and beyond). http://www.themusicsettlement.org/calendar/2017/06/30/an-evening-without-da… The same two parts are repeated the next night, Sat 7/1. Most folks are coming to both Part 1 and Part 2 and staying all night either Fri or Sat. http://www.themusicsettlement.org/calendar/2017/07/01/an-evening-without-da… As before, Cleveland's premiere glam punk superstars Vanity Crash will hit the stage after each section to bring a cathartic jolt with newly prepared Bowie classics, along with a few of their stellar originals, including NEW SONGS from their NEW UPCOMING FALL RELEASE. If you attended past presentations, you should know that the show has been re-designed and DOUBLED in size! So much material has surfaced since the artist's passing: unseen videos and photos, new details and factoids, re-mastered and cleaned up audio and video, and rare outtakes. We'll have a lot more time to play clips and songs that we had to breeze through before. Full bar and kitchen service will be provided by the BOP STOP, and all proceeds from the food & bev will go towards supporting their mission to educate Cleveland area youth through the age of 18 with music instruction, music therapy, and preschool, day school, and kindergarten. Written in pain, written in awe/By a puzzled man who questioned/What we were here for I invite you to attend one or more of these exciting special presentations!

Audiences and critics are raving about "Hairspray" at Weathervane Playhouse.
by Fred Gloor via NEohioPAL 21 Jun '17

21 Jun '17

"Hairspray" review from the West Side Leader: http://www.akron.com/akron-ohio-entertainment-news.asp?aID=34513 And here are just a few of the things that audiences are saying about "Hairspray" at Weathervane Playhouse: "Hairspray was phenomenal" "The set was amazing, the costumes were beautiful" "WHAT A SHOW!! KUDOS! Bravo! Don't miss this show, folks" Weathervane Playhouse presents the multi-Tony Award-winning Hairspray. "You Can't Stop the Beat" in this delightful story of dancing, romance, and social justice. AKRON - The 1950s are out, and change is in the air! Hairspray, the winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, makes its way to the Weathervane stage June 8 through July 2. This family-friendly musical is piled bouffant-high with laughter, romance, and deliriously tuneful songs. It's 1962 in Baltimore, and the lovable plus-size teen, Tracy Turnblad, has only one desire - to dance on the popular Corny Collins Show. When her dream comes true, Tracy is transformed from social outcast to sudden star. She must use her newfound power to dethrone the reigning Teen Queen, win the affections of heartthrob, Link Larkin, and integrate a TV network... all without denting her 'do! Hairspray runs Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $22 - $26 and are available by calling 330-836-2626 or going to www.weathervaneplayhouse.com<http://www.weathervaneplayhouse.com/> Director Marissa Leenaarts says "Hairspray still holds relevance in today's society. Laugh, sing, and tap your feet through this upbeat fast-paced show, but take this lesson away - we as an audience must always continue to strive for acceptance of all people. Together, we can do so much more to overcome what has divided us in the past. YOU can't stop the beat!" Weathervane Playhouse's production of Hairspray is sponsored by a generous donation from the Akron/Summit Convention and Visitors Bureau.

ATT. READERS - GET YOUR ORIGINAL GANGSTERS RIGHT HERE!
by Joseph Bauer via NEohioPAL 21 Jun '17

21 Jun '17

*Occupation Wiseguy*, a novel by native Cleveland author Joey Bauer, on Amazon kindle now, is a must read! Based on a true story, it revisits the glory days when our fair city’s colorful home-grown gangster elite: the anti-heroes, Angelo Lonardo, John Licavoli, John Scalish, Frank Broncato, Shondor Birns, Al Polizzi, Tommy Mc Ginty, and their entourage were rock stars and explosive mob enforcer, the much feared Big Ange De Nello, was the first one they called and the last man you want to meet; he was bullet proof, until iconic New York hitman Crazy Joe Gallo brought his gun to town, and then he wasn’t. Other invited guests at Big Ange’s exclusive surprise party included the three kings: Meyer Lansky, Lucky Luciano and Bugsy Siegel, and there were fireworks at the end to send him off with a bang.
