Let Me Love You Now

September 15, 2012

We had the pleasure of attending the wedding of our friends Roberta and Federico in early June in Puglia, Italy.  As a surprise gift – we asked Michael’s cousin Silvia to translate one of our love songs into Italian – and Dan performed it at the wedding reception.  Title translation:  Let Me Love You Now = Lasciati Amar Cosi

Totally Divine!

April 22, 2012

Here’s a photo of Javier Munoz, Olivia Mell, and Cameron Folmar rehearsing TOTALLY DIVINE last summer where we did our first staged reading of MARRY HARRY as part of New York Stage and Film’s Powerhouse Season at Vassar College.

TOTALLY DIVINE opens ACT 2 with Bernard – the faux French wedding consultant extraordinaire – transforming Cudicini’s Restaurant into a magical wedding fairyland – assisted by his entourage of designers including Wayne – his rapper assistant!  In this recording Cameron sings Bernard, Javier sings Wayne, and Olivia and Javier sing backup.  Jeff Caldwell is the musical director/pianist.

I Never Saw Another Butterfly

April 22, 2012

Dan’s been working on an intense and beautiful project – producing the demo CD for a children’s musical called I NEVER SAW ANOTHER BUTTERFLY.  It’s based on the true story of kids who were imprisoned at the Nazi concentration camp Terezin – and whose poems and drawings survived to tell their stories.

The music is by Betsy Alexander and lyrics are by Joe Robinette.  The cast includes Jonathan Brody, Philip Deyesso, Kate Lippstreu, Howie Michael Smith, Jordi Wallen, and April Woodall – with musical direction by Jeff Caldwell.

Here’s a clip of the rough mix of Jordi and Howie (accompanied by Jeff) singing an excerpt of THE GIFT – one of the more lighthearted songs in the show!
