Just when you thought we were ready to fall back in love with big live concerts again — Hurricane Henri had other plans for New York City.
The ominous Hurricane Henri washed out what was supposed to be a triumphant night for NYC, more than a year after the COVID-19 pandemic shook the Big Apple. We Love NYC: The Homecoming Concert on the Great Lawn of Central Park on Saturday night.
Midway into the concert as Barry Manilow belted out “I Can’t Smile Without You” the heavens opened up and pre-Henri arrived several hours earlier than expected, with the rain and lightning threat putting an end to what was turning into an epic event.
In all fairness, when the star-studded concert, produced by industry legend Clive Davis and Live Nation which they announced last month by Mayor Bill de Blasio things seemed to be moving in a positive direction.
To be safe EVERY person had to produce a vaccinated card to enter the park.
All and all, it was a beautiful event as the crew hugged and cried just being able to see one another again.
Internationally acclaimed pianist/composer Yoko Miwa is one of the most powerful and compelling performers on the scene today. Her trio, with its remarkable telepathy and infectious energy, has brought audiences to their feet worldwide. Their latest CD, 2019’s Keep Talkin’, showcases Miwa’s fine playing and artful compositions and the trio’s uncanny musical camaraderie. DownBeat gave the recording four stars, calling it “a beautifully constructed album” and noting “the drive and lyricism of a pianist and composer at home in bebop, gospel, pop, and classical.” JazzTimes also reviewed the album favorably, praising Miwa’s “jaw-dropping degree of technique.” The album enjoyed seven weeks in the top 10 on Jazz Week’s charts, much like its predecessor, Miwa’s 2017 release Pathways, which also made Jazz Week’s top 10 for several weeks.
New York City is really buzzing this week to Save The Planet!
Global Citizen is everywhere. Global warming “IS” a thing and world leaders and celebrities came out to spread the news that we MUST help our planet survive…… NOW!!
Hugh Jackman is such a wonderful human being and I met him way back when he hosted the Tony Awards.
We all must leave a good footprint and help save our planet.
In 25 years of working or just passing through Times Square I have never experienced SILENCE…
The high-wire act with brother & sister Nik & Lijana Wallenda was an emotional roller coaster.
The walk marked Lijana’s first high-wire act since 2017 rehearsal accident, which left her severely injured with every bone in her face broken.
A crowd of New Yorkers anxiously watched as Nik and Lijana Wallenda — seventh-generation members of the famed Flying Wallendas circus family — attempted to cross a 1,300-foot-long wire, strung between two skyscrapers in Times Square on Sunday night.
The never-before-attempted stunt was broadcast live on ABC in a two-hour special, Highwire Live in Times Square, hosted by Erin Andrews and Michael Strahan
They beat out every network that night!
Working with this whole family gave me a feeling that if this woman could get back up there with all she has been through, then I too have the faith to move mountains.
What a joy to work with Carol Channing @ The Tony Awards. Here she is backstage with LL Cool J 💥 She forged the way for many women. She was so happy that night, she danced around the makeup room & showed us her black lace underwear. What legs‼️ She lit up every room 🔥 It was a night I will never forget. RIP Sweet Carol 💋
In the middle of the 4th blizzard in March I made it to Paul McCartney's home for an interview that turned out to be the most memorable day that I've had in years.
As I was getting Paul ready for his interview I was helping him read lines and just being present to help, not that Paul needs any help with interviews as he's a wealth of knowledge about any subject.
The interview will air all over social media on the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s death. With so much going on in the world it was refreshing to hear words of peace and hope. Paul spoke of his duet with Stevie Wonder "Ebony & Ivory". Perfect choice!
As Paul was wrapping up his interview I turned to find Meryl Streep standing behind me. I think Paul was even a bit star struck.
Both Paul & Meryl nailed it in 2 takes , enough time for all of us to get home before the blizzard gained momentum.
Driving home in the storm I felt blessed in every way. Life is so GRAND and I get to sit on the sidelines and watch it play out.
I'm so very proud of this piece that I did for Stevie Wonder. I did most of the artists in New York City, so I am not claiming I did all of them as most were shot at their studios & in LA.

The message is what matters!
“On April 4th, 1968 at 7:05 p.m. Central Time, Dr. King’s life was cut tragically short. 50 years later a need for his dream to be fulfilled is far greater than ever. This is precisely why, the dream still lives.

I was the Department Supervisor for Glam (25 assistants) so it was a 3 ring Circus getting Lady Gaga's backup singers ready along with Daddy Yankee, Rihanna, SZA & Despacito but I LOVED every minute of it :)

The Nickelodeon HALO Awards is a TV special that airs on TeenNick but recently has been voted to be aired on all of the Nickelodeon channels except TVLand and Nick Jr. This year it will be hosted on Thanksgiving weekend, but usually is aired every December.[1] It profiles five ordinary teens who are Helping And Leading Others (HALO). Created by chairmanNick Cannon, the show is similar to other awards shows, such as CNN's Heroes award. The HALO Awards "...flips the script and features today’s biggest celebrities giving out the awards instead of receiving them,” said Marjorie Cohn, Executive Vice President, Original Programming and Development of Nickelodeon.[2] It profiles four teens who are usually seniors in high school or have just started college, that sacrificed themselves to better the lives of others.
I had the best time with Jo Jo & Nick Cannon.
The show is close to my heart as it celebrates kids that are trying to make the world a better place.
Here we are again, another year at the beautiful St. John of the Divine in New York City.
This year they honored Billie Jean King & Harvey Fierstein for their years of support among the gay community.
The mayor of Orlando was also honored. Everyone bowed their heads for a moment of silence for the victims that were brutally murdered at Pulse night club.
There were tears and also many laughs.
Joel Grey is the sweetest thing, surrounded by all these drag queens backstage he asked me if I could make him look that good :D
I was fortunate enough to be able to work on his play the final week it was on Broadway in NYC.
This of course is not a "feel good" play but the acting was outstanding.
With Ed Harris as the lead how could it have not been spectacular ?
Taissa Farmiga from "American Horror" was one of the leads as well. She took the play to a whole new level. Poor thing on the last day she got a cold. She said her character took so much out of her. You can totally see that she put her whole heart and soul into it.
The Cast:
Taissa Farmiga, Ed harris, Amy Madigan, Larry Pine, Rich Sommer, Paul Sparks, Nat Wolff
I love Broadway and everything about it. You can shut off your brain and for 2 hours be taken away by the play.
