Elegant And Enchanted Evenings With John Lloyd Young At Cafe Carlyle

John Lloyd Young and Cafe Carlyle have a long, magical history together.

He is part of a storied group of artists and performers who have, and continue, to grace the Carlyle stage - a legendary and quintessential part of classic New  York.  

And this past week, JLY celebrated that history while bringing it into the future...elegant, creative, prolific...and more enchanting than ever.  

That future began with his new musical director, Jacquelyn Schreiber, taking her seat at the piano - preparing as JLY was introduced, with him walking from the bar area to the front, and beginning the set with his classic rendition of  “My Prayer”, commanding the stage from the first note. 

He then moved into some new material for this Carlyle residency, making each song his own with his brilliant interpretations. Roy Orbison’s “Love Hurts” is a perfect fit for him, rich and emotional.  And he told some of his wonderful Little Anthony stories as he took us on a journey with “I’m On The Outside Looking In”, which is one of several songs that continue to play in our minds long after the performance.

JLY has mentioned a few times about how much he loves history, so playing the Carlyle and sharing some of its incredible history with the audience is as enjoyable for him as it is for us. He motions around the room to various sections of the incredible murals by Oscar-winning French artist, Marcel Vertès, pointing out certain characteristics and techniques. Then he talks about the the first person to own an apartment/condo at the Carlyle, Richard Rodgers, while musing about the songs that may have been inspired here. It’s the perfect segue into his beautiful, romantic version of “I Have Dreamed” from The King And I.

He blows us away with Stevie Wonder’s “Knocks Me Off My Feet”, then comes around the room to greet and serenade us with “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me”...which is always a thrill.  JLY has a special way of connecting with friends and fans, and new audience members, that puts him in a class by himself.  And we of course get to hear one of our favorites, “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You”, stronger than ever, and complete with audience participation.  

Next up is Nat King Cole’s “Let There Be Love”, featuring Jacquelyn’s extraordinary jazz piano skills and JLY’s luxurious baritone.  They play off each  other well, and the future is bright for this creative partnership.

We head back into Jersey Boys territory - but with a definite jazz influence.  After some of JLY’s entertaining stories about making the Jersey Boys movie, he performs a breathtaking “Moody’s Mood For Love” - forget Frankie and Bob for a minute...at this moment, the line “I need to write for this voice” pertains to JLY and JLY alone.  Creating anything for his wonderful, versatile vocal instrument is something any writer and/or musician would be honored to do.  This is followed up by the always beautiful “My Eyes Adored You”, fresh and new with Jacquelyn on harmony.

JLY explained next that sometimes when he and his fellow Broadway castmates were invited to perform for events, they weren’t given permission to sing the songs from the show - so Ron Melrose, the arranger and musical director for Jersey Boys, came up with a workaround...and one of the songs for this was “I Only Have Eyes For You”, which JLY performed to perfection in this set at Cafe Carlyle.

The next two songs were absolute standouts (even though every song in the set remains in my head at various times throughout the day) because of JLY’s ingenious vocals and interpretation of Jacquelyn’s inventive arrangements.  She might be new to being the musical director, but she completely owns it, and her creativity knows no bounds. “The Air That I Breathe” is so touchingly beautiful, and JLY’s voice both soothing and emotional - the perfect adult lullaby.  And he takes us on a full journey through “Both Sides Now”, giving even more meaning to Joni Mitchell’s lyrics and giving us more food for thought. 

On the final evening of JLY’s residency, former Ambassador to Finland, Robert Pence, and his wife Suzy, were there along with their friends.  Ambassador Pence had requested a special song for his friends, which JLY learned especially for this evening.  “One In A Million You” was outstanding, and I hope that he performs it again in the future.

JLY finished the evening with “Maybe I’m Amazed”,  and I still have a hard time listening to Sir Paul McCartney’s original because I prefer JLY’s even more.  Then we were all up on our feet for “Sherry”...I would say going out on a high note, but in reality, the entire set was filled with high notes.

John Lloyd Young and Cafe Carlyle go hand in hand...the perfect fit for past, present, and future.  With all of the new material and creative influences, I can’t wait to see what’s next. And I am so glad that we are all along on the journey with him!

[book spoilers]

Lockwood’s idea of a grand gesture is to be more of a fool than usual, more death-defying than usual, to make sure that Lockwood & Co. was always on front page news because if Lucy was the best then Lockwood & Co. could be nothing less than THE best agency to deserve her, to get her to return. And no, he doesn’t stop there. He may not have asked you to return on bended knee like you wanted Lucy, but like any proper gentleman caller he couldn’t come to your door empty-handed. He brings THE case, that one case that Lucy could never refuse coming from Fittes herself. I bet he spent all those four months searching for that one case. Because see the plan was always for her to return and Lockwood has always been an end-justifies-the-means kind of guy. And the way he gets her on board speaks a lot about his own character and how well he knows Lucy.

Lockwood has always been slightly manipulative and he uses the full force of that skill during that reunion with Lucy. Every move was calculated. From his suit he wears like armor, each one carefully chosen. An old coat that reminds them of a case they worked on together, an immaculate new suit (Really? Just to hire her again?), and to top it all of, a tie which Lucy specifically gave him. He catches her off guard, he doesn’t give her time to get her bearings. He knows asking her outright to return wouldn’t work. Even if he did beg, that already failed when he ended up so angry that he left Lucy behind in that cafe (the fact that Lockwood who prides himself on being a gentleman could leave a girl, and Lucy of all people, shows that his emotions were completely haywire that day). In other words, Lucy’s stubbornness proved stronger than his own. So he had to change tactics. He had to make sure that her returning would be all her idea, that she would return all on her own.

Because see, he didn’t need a case to see her. He could have visited at any time after they didn’t have closure when Lucy snuck away in the dawn to leave. He could have normalized ties between them and remained friends even as Lucy was now a freelance agent. But he didn’t. He made sure they didn’t have closure. He didn’t even acknowledge her leaving because to do otherwise would make it final. On Lucy’s end I think she wouldn’t have minded if they could be friends and talk casually together again. She wanted it. But that’s not what Lockwood wanted. He wouldn’t have been satisfied unless Lucy was back home with them. Like a jilted lover, he needed a grand gesture to draw her back in.

So he does everything. He lies. “I wouldn’t ask you again to return.” “It’s just a one-off.” “One night, two max.” But and even though Lucy couldn’t fully see through him, what they really meant, she did pick up on signs of him fraying and unraveling. The uncertain smile that was simultaneously just for her and was shades paler than his usual gigawatt smile, the slight bitterness that she was willing to work with other agencies but not his, that studied nonchalance as if he wasn’t keeping track of her progress and whereabouts the same way Lucy tried not to follow news of Lockwood and Co., the deflection, deflection, deflection.

He doesn’t answer properly regarding Holly because he still thinks she might have had something to do with Lucy leaving.

“George didn’t like it.” This is his mixing up of I and we tendency again but way worse. For him to use George to say that she was missed was egregious because couldn’t he just say that he missed her? Or even we missed you, we didn’t like it [the idea of replacing you]. It wouldn’t be so strange. He is as much her friend as George. Unless her leaving cut him more deeply. And we know he represses that sh*t. So he doesn’t even include himself in the equation anymore maybe because he thought it would make Lucy uncomfortable because not even him losing control of his emotions, being exposed and raw could get her to stay. Or at least that’s what he tells himself when in reality he’s fortified his barriers once again. He made himself open for Lucy, all the anger he’d kept tightly locked inside, and still - she left. So he can’t even talk to Lucy anymore without using someone or something as a conduit, projecting himself because he can’t expose himself to that sort of vulnerability again until he accomplishes his goal. So yeah there’s plenty of bitterness on his part, but what trumps that, always trumps it and his pride (because I’m sure part of him expected that Lucy would come back earlier on her own so he was just waiting and when that didn’t happen because see in a contest of wills Lucy’s would always trump his own, he’s weak when it comes to her, he’s the one who comes to her instead) - is that base desire for her to just come back.

#lockwood and co #locklyle #lockwood & co #anthony lockwood #lucy carlyle #see this is why I like manipulative characters #but ouch the angst #he was desperate by that point #you can’t tell me he didn’t have a plan a to z #everything is muted from lucy’s perspective because she always downplays everything lockwood does to or in relation to her #except at least she picked up his tendency to be self-sacrificial for her #but of course she turns it around and assumes it’s entirely her fault because she can’t control her emotions #when you know lucy it could be that it’s lockwood who can’t control his emotions #when it comes to you #see this is why I will not survive if there isn’t a second #(and hopefully third and fourth best case scenario four seasons) #because I desperately need to see that cafe conversation from outside lucy’s pov #because if that’s the way she described it #then lockwood must have been livid and entirely heartbroken #which doubles the angst when you consider what they went through this first season #and while he may have been aware of his feelings for lucy this first season #I think he took the stupid stupid route of thinking he wasn’t good enough for her #which is why he sort of stays away during the events of the hollow boy as to not burden her with his feelings #which unfortunately also contributed to lucy feeling that perhaps she did have to leave #when that was the last thing he wanted he never meant or even wanted for her to go #there is so much angst in the hollow boy and the creeping shadown #they already tripled the angst with the first season #if we get the second season focusing on these two books with perhaps a mid season finale at the point where lucy leaves the agency #I will not survive the angst #but I still need it

John Lloyd Young At View Arts Center and Cafe Carlyle - Creating Magic For Every Season

John Lloyd Young knows how to bring the magic alive - wherever he performs, and whatever the season.

It's just about the end of summer and the beginning of fall, and JLY wove the two together seamlessly...first with his entertaining summer Unchained Melodies set at View Arts Center in Old Forge, then opening the fall season at Cafe Carlyle in NYC with class and style.

Whenever JLY performs at View, it is in many ways a homecoming for him. He grew up in the Upstate New York and Adirondacks region, and several friends and relatives from the area are in the audience - along with other friends and fans from all over the country. It's always special for all of us to experience the homecoming with him, as he shares special stories with the music, and raises the roof of Gould Hall.

He opened the evening with a powerful "My Prayer", then went right into his lovely, charming version of "I Have Dreamed", showcasing his rich baritone and connection with the audience.

Before the rest of the set, JLY introduced his friend and fellow Brown University theatre alumnus Andrew Hertz accompanying him on the piano...and told a couple of stories of sharing musical theatre knowledge on the university's radio station. The joy that they have collaborating was evident throughout the night.

JLY brought out some of our favorites, like the soulful "Show And Tell", and the passionate "Unchained Melody", which he mentioned always makes his aunt cry whenever he performs it. He came around into the audience for "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me" and "Cara Mia", to the delight of everyone in attendance. It always amazes me how well he works his way around the room - especially in a larger venue - to connect with as many people as he can as he spies both new and familiar faces throughout the room.

He performed some Jersey Boys favorites as well - "Can't Take My Eyes Off You", "My Eyes Adored You", "Moody's Mood For Love", and "Big Girls Don't Cry" - while telling stories about the making of the movie. He also included a story about "Big Girls Don't Cry" from his trip to Cuba as part of the arts delegation, which segued well into his stories of singing to and with Smokey Robinson there as he performed a stunning "Ooh Baby Baby".

JLY also performed his beautiful interpretation of "I Only Have Eyes For You", arranged by Ron Melrose for Jersey Boys, and showed his incredible vocal range on "Only The Lonely". I still think he would be the perfect person to play Roy Orbison in a biopic as well.

He completed the evening with everyone on their feet for "Sherry", and everyone talking about what an incredible show it was. For the lady sitting next to me, it was her first time experiencing a JLY performance. She loved every minute, and will be back whenever he performs again at View. It's a musical homecoming that everyone looks forward to every year.

Two days later, JLY opened the fall season in NYC at Cafe Carlyle. He is the perfect choice to open the 2023 Fall Season, as he fits the Carlyle so well with his combination of talent, humor, class, and style.

He included some of the songs from the View set, like "My Prayer", "Show And Tell", "Only The Lonely", and "I Have Dreamed" - which was preceded by the story of how Richard Rodgers was the first person to own an apartment at the Carlyle. He also talked about the history of Cafe Carlyle, including the incredible murals by Academy Award winner Marcel Vertès. You can tell just how much JLY appreciates the rich history of the Carlyle, which makes him the perfect ambassador for them.

He also did most of the Jersey Boys songs from the previous set, complete with audience participation, exciting stories, and that iconic voice that that takes your breath away.

JLY came around the room to all of us for "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me", which really is always a thrill. He also included a few different songs in this set.

One of these was "Nevertheless" - JLY's musical director and pianist for this special night at Cafe Carlyle was Ron Abel, and they did the arrangement of this song that they had done at 54 Below in January. It was truly breathtaking. JLY and Ron also collaborate well together, especially on their arrangement of Nell Carter's "Mean To Me". JLY already blew us away on this song when he debuted it last year, and now it's even more stunning. His vocal range is always out of this world - but this song takes it to an even greater level.

It was so good to hear "Since I Fell For You" in the set again, along with the unreleased Orbison track "Say No More", which is stronger and more emotional than ever.

JLY finished the evening with "Maybe I'm Amazed" (I will always stress how his version surpasses Sir Paul's) and some singing and dancing along to "Sherry", as we all left on a high that still continues long after the performance.

John Lloyd Young is truly a man and performer for all seasons. With a voice like his, you can't help but be moved, inspired, and amazed. I am so glad that we are all on this magical journey with him, and look forward to what the next season and all future seasons bring!
