Dear WANZeGRAM Fan,
|
|
Only two weeks till Good Friday!
Which begs the question...
Just what was so
damned good about it?
Why not live in the
here and now, today, on this most excellent
Friday, March 19, 2010. And here's
one really good thing about this very
Friday...
...it's opening day of
the Winter Park Sidewalk Arts Festival!
Another really good
Friday is coming your way on April 9,
2010.That's when Broadway's biggest
cheerleader and chatterbox, SETH RUDESKY,
returns to the PH for one night only.
Read all about both
events in today's WANZeGRAM.
And in the spirit of
Spring, why not make plans to visit the
splendor and the whimsy of the Flower &
Garden Festival currently underway at
Epcot.
If you don't live in
Florida, or if you do but you can't afford
Epcot, why not plant some flower seeds this
fine Friday?
Begin fashioning a
bush into your very own Topiary, and in a
mere 3 to 5 years you'll likely just have a
badly mangled shrub of some
indistinguishable misshapen identity - but
still, it might be fun to try.
 |
The point is; we just
sprung the clocks forward, and Spring is in
the air! (At least here in Florida, anyway.)
So get out there and do something to soak in
the new season that's upon us. Go see some
Art in a lovely outdoor setting, or go smell
the Flowers, or ride a bike, or take a hike,
or take your dog to the dog park - that is
right after you order your tickets for
Leslie Jordan, Seth Rudetsky, and
Wanzie's 55 WEST: A High Rise Church Street
Comedy.
It's a good Friday;
ENJOY IT! |

Seth
Rudetsky: Deconstructing The Brady Bunch
Variety Hour |
|
Seth Rudetsky will be presenting an
evening of doing his favorite thing:
"Deconstructing"- And he'll be
deconstructing at the invitation of
Wanzie Presents at the Footlight Theatre
for one night only - Friday, April 9,
2010 at 8 PM.
It's a new show!
For his return
engagement at the Footlight Theatre,
Seth will be focusing on the short-lived
but mind-boggling series, The Brady
Bunch Variety Hour. The show debuted
in 1977 and was (not surprisingly)
cancelled the same year, but there are
nine delicious episodes that merit
severe analysis. You will explore: The
bedazzled outfits, the horribly executed
dance steps, the swimming pool (ripped
off from Donny and Marie's Ice Skating
Rink), the disco song medleys including
"Shake Your Booty," and the hot budding
romance between Alice the maid and a
real estate agent played by...Rip
Taylor. Plus a special section
focusing on the moving sub-plot of Greg
moving out of the house (in his
mid-twenties), and Carol Brady's ensuing
depression...all enacted in song.
Finally, most shockingly, you will see
the singing and dancing fake Jan!
Seth Rudetsky, who
delighted Footlight Theatre audiences
during his Orlando debut last year, is
the Broadway host on Sirius/XM Radio
every afternoon as well as a weekly
columnist for Playbill. He's been
on Broadway as a pianist, conductor, and
actor, and has is best known to
television audiences as the real-life
vocal coach on MTV's LEGALLY BLONDE:
THE SEARCH FOR THE NEXT ELLE WOODS.
As a
comic, Seth won the title "Funniest
Gay Male in NY" at Stand-Up NY, had
a long-running show at Caroline's Comedy
Club, and spent two years as a comedy
writer on THE ROSIE O'DONNELL SHOW
(three Emmy nominations). As an actor he
played Arnold in the Gallery Players
production of TORCH SONG TRILOGY,
had roles on ALL MY CHILDREN and LAW
AND ORDER: C.I., and in 2007 made
his acting debut on Broadway in THE
RITZ directed by Joe Mantello for
The Roundabout Theater playing Sheldon
Farenthold and singing "Magic To Do" in
a (devastating) unitard.
Seth's books, "The
Q Guide to Broadway" and "Broadway
Nights," are about to enter their fourth
printing, and his
audible.com
version of "Broadway Nights" stars
himself, Kristin Chenoweth, and
Jonathan Groff.
Since his last
appearance at The Parliament House, Seth
was in London and Liverpool filming a
British TV show, and spent August
performing his new show, Seth's
Broadway 101 to sold-out
audiences in New York. This Spring Seth
will be featured on an episode of the
Emmy-Award-winning Kathy Griffin
Show on Bravo.

Seth
Rudetsky's Audition Master Class |
|
IN ORLANDO FOR ONE
DAY ONLY: Come learn to love auditioning
for musical theater, and learn how to
get hired on Broadway.
Seth will help you
get the right audition song and stop
singing the wrong song (or 16 bars) at
auditions.
These questions are all answered by
Seth:
Where do I look
when I audition?
How do I end this
song?
What do I think
about when I'm singing?
What should I do
with my body/hands?
Can I sing this
song at an audition for (fill in the
blank)?
Stop hating the
song you're using at auditions. So many
singers have a signature song, but no
longer enjoy singing it.
Seth's master class will help you learn
to
love your song and book the job!
Seth has played piano for more than a
dozen Broadway shows
including RAGTIME, LES MIZ, and
PHANTOM, and was the vocal coach
for the LEGALLY BLONDE reality
show on MTV. He was the Artistic
Producer/Music Director for the
first five annual Actors Fund Fall
Concerts including DREAMGIRLS
with Audra MacDonald (recorded on
Nonesuch Records), and HAIR with
Jennifer Hudson (recorded on
Ghostlight Records, Grammy Nomination).

Faboo Sidewalk
Arts Festival Begins Today! |
|
It's that time of the
year again. Time for one of the most
prestigious and enjoyable arts festivals in
the country, and we in the Central Florida
area are fortunate to have it right in our
own back yard.
The 51st
Annual Winter Park Sidewalk Arts Festival
begins its 3-day run today - Friday, March
19, along Park Avenue South in Downtown
Winter Park and in the adjacent Central
Park.
We at the WANZeGRAM
feel there is a residual benefit to the
horrifically cold winter we've had as it
relates to the festival. Quite often the
heat is a downer at the festival. Probably
not so this year. In fact the weather might
just be delightful for walking, viewing art,
listening to great jazz, and eating
fair-food out of doors.
Running today,
Saturday, and Sunday,
the annual Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival
attracts over 350,000 visitors each year and
is one of the biggest and most prestigious
outdoor art festivals in the country. Over
1,600 artists from all over the world apply
to attend the famous show, and a panel of
judges selects between 250 and 300 to
exhibit. Visitors can view the various works
on display. In addition, there are numerous
entertainment acts and children's events
planned for the three-day festival.
This year's festival
will feature over 300 artists whose mediums
include
CLAY DRAWINGS & GRAPHICS
FIBER GLASS JEWELRY
LEATHER
METAL MIXED MEDIA PAINTING
PHOTOGRAPHY
SCULPTURE
WATERCOLOR WOOD
And 5 artists in the
newest category - DIGITAL ART!
2010 Winter Park
Sidewalk Art Festival
Winning Poster Design:
Poster by artist
Ken Bowser (No relation to Doug)
Ken
Bowser brings a fresh look to this year's
official art festival poster with his
whimsical and edgy illustrative style. In
addition to writing and illustrating four of
his own books for children, Ken Bowser has
illustrated scores of other published book
titles. His work has appeared in countless
magazines, newspapers, and periodicals
worldwide including The New York Daily News,
The Chicago Tribune, Time, and Newsweek, to
name just a few.
In preparation for
creating the illustration for this
year's poster, Ken spent a day strolling
along Park Avenue, and he translated his
experience into his final design. To Ken
each element in the poster is symbolic
of something that represents the Winter
Park experience. He incorporated bricks
to represent the quaint sidewalks and
brick streets of Winter Park. The
cloth-covered tables and bottle of wine
represent the city's entertainment and
fine dining. The shopping bag and the
red shoes represent the retail and
fashion aspects of the town. The dog
peering into the window represents the
family friendly atmosphere, (Although we
at the WANZeGRAM feel this would be good
time to remind you that dogs and
pets of any kind are not permitted at
the festival; in fact, they are
not permitted on Park Avenue at all
during festival operating hours), and
the empty chair is an inviting place for
you to sit. Reminiscent of M. C. Escher,
Ken has created a world within a world
by repeating the poster design many
times within the poster. Take a good
look and see how many hidden messages
you can find. See that eyeball? That's
Ken looking back at you, hoping you
enjoy his light-hearted design.

Leslie
Jordan's All New
FROM WHENCE I CAME
The Footlight
Theatre
Sunday, March 28, 2010
Beloved
Emmy Award-winning actor/comedian
LESLIE JORDAN returns to one of his
favorite stomping grounds, ORLANDO, to
kick off his latest stage show, aptly
titled Leslie Jordan's ALL
NEW-FROM WHENCE I CAME.
Jordan continues to regale captive
audiences by dishing the dirt with his
many celebrity encounters and delving
into a never ending well spring of
salacious stories, both personal and
professional, as he did with such recent
stage triumphs -- ensemble pieces
SOUTHERN BAPTIST SISSIES and
A SORDID AFFAIRE, along with
his classic solo turns in LIKE A
DOG ON LINOLEUM, MY TRIP DOWN THE PINK
CARPET (soon to premiere
off-Broadway for a 12 week run at the
Manhattan Theatre in NYC), and
LESLIE JORDAN - FULL OF GIN & REGRET.
His numerous
memorable television and film
appearances define the Jordan canon. A
career pinnacle came with his first Emmy
for his recurring role as the caustic,
camp, BEVERLEY LESLEY on the ground
breaking NBC comedy WILL & GRACE.
In feature film he made his mark with
his indelible classic portrayal of the
delusional but endearing Tammy Wynette-obsessed
character BROTHER BOY in SORDID
LIVES, a role which he reprieved
in Logo TV's version of the film,
SORDID LIVES, THE PREQUEL.
Actor, author,
activist are but a few of the many
dimensions on display through his innate
story telling abilities chronicling his
astonishing life and career.
This
one-night-only performance of Leslie's
all new show is scheduled for March 28
at 8 PM at the Footlight Theatre at the
Parliament House Resort.
Tickets are on
sale today, in advance of all other
publicity, which kicks in on Friday. So
take advantage of this special advance
notice and select your seat today
through the WANZIE.com on line box
office.
Also, if you have
not yet purchased your tickets for the
newest Wanzie-penned play - 55 WEST -
remember you can order tickets for
multiple events at the same time and pay
only one transaction fee.
NOTICE: All three of
Leslie's previous appearances at the
Footlight Theatre were SOLD OUT

advance reservations are strongly
encouraged.
Leslie Jordan's ALL NEW -
FROM WHENCE I CAME
brings the popular entertainer back
to one of his personal favorite
venues, the FOOTLIGHT THEATRE at the
PARLIAMENT HOUSE RESORT.
"Audiences here just seem to get
it...me, my humor, angst and all. I
suppose it comes from y'all being
Southern boys, too," Jordan
quips with that unmistakable,
naughty twinkle in his eye.

Invitation
to Socialize With Stuart Milk as he
Endorses Linda Stewart for Mayor /
Events to Suit Everyone
By Jack Dixon
As you probably
know, I am working on Linda Stewart's
campaign for Orange County Mayor.
We have planned a
series of fund raising events for the
20th of March.
Stuart Milk,
nephew of Harvey Milk, is coming to town
exclusively to endorse Linda for Mayor
of Orange County, and he will be at the
events.
We would like to
invite you to come and celebrate this
significant occasion with us and share
in the excitement.
In keeping with
the philosophy of inclusiveness espoused
by both Linda and Stuart, the events
have been structured so everyone can
afford to participate at a level at
which they are comfortable. We are
having a VIP event at the Star Tower,
and are asking for a minimum donation of
$250 to attend that event. This VIP
event will be a cocktail party with hors
d'oeuvres, and will allow plenty of time
to mingle with both Linda and Stuart.
Donating to that event also gets you in
to the evening event, which will have
live entertainment by blue. The evening
event will also allow some mingling with
Linda and Stuart. We'd love for you to
attend both events, but if you can only
attend one, that's okay, too.
Details on both
events are shown below.
If you intend to
attend the VIP event, please contact
Margo at 321-663-4135.
If you just want
to attend the evening event, you can
register on
Facebook and pay at the door. The
minimum donation for just the evening
event is $25.
If you are unable to attend, you can
still support Linda's campaign by

THEATRE -
CITIZEN EVE
A reading, under
the direction of Kenny Howard. In
this fascinating play centered around
the writing of the film All About
Eve, Orlando actress and WANZeGRAM
fav Becky Fisher will once again assume
the persona of Bette Davis, which she so
amazingly embodied in the critically
acclaimed Me And Jezebel, for
which Fisher won The Lillie Stoates
Award for Best Performance by an Actress
in the 1997 Orlando theatrical season.
Other familiar actors appearing in
CITIZEN EVE include Becky's own
husband and gifted performer in his own
right, Joe Swanberg, the fabulous Frank
McClain, the talented Alan Finic,
luscious newcomer Michael Ealy, brassy &
sassy Meagan Maroney, the always
delectable Heather Leonardi, sultry
Katherine Skelton in the role of Marylyn
Monroe, and our own Wanzie in the role
of Charles Foster Cane.
It's 1950 and Joe
Mankiewicz is toiling and troubling over
the script of "All About Eve." Enter the

A Note From Wanzie:
|
It was my plan this week to make the
Note From Wanzie a page from our
photo album. I have so many great
photos from recent events, ranging
from opening nights to nights out.
(But you’ll have to wait till next
week to enjoy those photos.)
I totally sent the Gram into the
editing and formatting staff at THE
WANZeGRAM WORLD HEADQUARTERS, LAKE
MARY SATELLITE OFFICE on Tuesday
with no Note From Wanzie included.
I wasn’t going to worry about being
inspired. I was just going to
select, group, and caption photos
first thing this morning, and send
them along to the formatting staff
at the afore mentioned satellite
office before noon.
But things got away from me.
It all started when Sam and I were
setting up for the St. Patrick’s Day
party the day prior to Thursday, and
Susan starting sending me drinks at
2:30 in the afternoon. From about
midway through the happy hour party
until just about now – 9 PM on
Thursday evening – it’s all pretty
much a blur. Then I graduated up to
a blur with a low fog hanging over
it. In the midst of my hazy blur I
had an unexpected reunion with a
friend who dropped over at about
1:30 PM, and he seemed like he could
use a cocktail, which I made for
him; and not wanting to be a rude
host, I started drinking again…a
combination of good etiquette and my
belief that doing so would take the
edge off. Long story short, it’s
9:30 Thursday evening; the phone
rang, and Gary asked, “What am I
supposed to do with a WANZeGRAM with
no Note attached to it?” (I didn’t
tell him the first thing that came
to mind.)
So I’m sitting here at 9:45 on
Thursday night acutely struggling to
write this Note From Wanzie and get
