#Rodrick Covington

[tenaciouspostfun]

If you are looking for a fun musical Rock & Roll Man is for you. At the New World Stages Gary Kupper, Larry Marshak and Rose Caiola have written a fun show about Alan Freed, the man credited with inventing the term Rock & Roll from the vast R & B singers of the 1950's and 60's.

The musical is somewhat informative about the Cleveland DJ who refused to have the new music of that era silenced. Freed would end up drinking himself to death. Although it wasn't made really clear in the play, Freed was a womanizer, cavorted with gangsters, Joe Pantoliano as Morris Levy ( Pantoliano would double as Leo Mintz, a record store owner).

As Alan Freed, Constantine Maroulis sings and dances his way into the audiences hearts. With a spunky cast and set(Tim Mackabee), and gitchy but insightful costumes (Leon Dobkowski) and backing both of these two spectacles is superb lighting by Matthew Richards and Aja M. Jackson. Freed is able to tell his story about how he brought Little Richard (Rodrick Covington), Valisia Lekae as VaVern Baker, Dominique Scott as Jerry Lee Lewis and many more to the big stage and gave them plenty of air time, even toured with them. It was Freed that took the time, the chance, giving these great artists a shot at the big time.

Eventually Freed would come to New York City radio (WINS) and would meet Levy, a promoter, nightclub owner (Birdland) and gangster. This would lead to many problems. Already in the crosshairs of the FBI, J.Edgar Hoover (Bob Ari) would investigate Freed for graft (payola). It is here where the story gets dicey and weak a little bit. Was Freed in a drunken stupor, or was Hoover actually there? It was never really clear and the cross dressing scene with Hoover was very cheesy, indeed! I think the direction (Randal Myler) at this juncture in a otherwise good musical gets weakened. For the most part the Choreography by Stephanie Klemons is strong. The vast majority of the actors impersonating the famous singers are spot on.

In the music and lyrics by Gary Kupper, the show hammers out some terrific song... "Ready Teddy", "Sixty Minute Man", 'Jim Dandy" in the first act and act two with... "Peggy Sue", "Roll Over Beethoven, "Good Man" and the final song with the great voice of Maroulis "Rock and Roll Music".

As far as a musical goes, "Rock & Roll Man" is a goody; as its plot line goes, it is fair at best bordering on weak.

When you provide your body an indeed, life will certainly grin back at you as well as provide you an of course. You are one indeed far from what you want in life.

His workout jam

' Blem' by Drake, or anything on the Fit Radio app.

What motivated you to come to be a trainer?

Growing up as the 18th kid out of 19, I obtained to embrace the extremes of self-control and mayhem before moving out on my very own at 16 years of ages. In university, my dean urged me to strike the gym to discover balance as an entertainer. As I educated, my body formed as well as all over I would go, people would certainly request for my suggestions concerning health and fitness.

' My fitness approach is not so much regarding what you're doing, it's about being clear concerning that you intend to be.'

When I would certainly exercise with associates in the show business and also would certainly see the outcomes they were producing in their body, mind, and spirit. I made it my company to maintain them encouraged and also determined, as well as I discovered that the a lot more I did that, the more I came to be encouraged as well as motivated.

What's the most unusual thing you have actually discovered being a physical fitness pro?

I never laid out to mix being spiritual and also being a physical fitness pro, yet I uncovered that for me, they are the same.

The moment we’ve been waiting for has arrived, partially. The first cast announcement for the Broadway revival of Once On This Island has been made by producers Ken Davenport and Hunter Arnold. We’re excited to announce Tony Award nominee Phillip Boykin (Porgy and Bess) as Tonton Julian, Alysha Deslorieux (Hamilton) as Andrea, Kenita R.

Once On This Island is the Broadway musical celebration that sweeps us across the sea to a small village—where, in the aftermath of a great storm, a joyous new life begins. It is the tale of Ti Moune, a fearless peasant girl who falls in love with a wealthy boy from the other side of the island. When their divided cultures threaten to keep them apart, Ti Moune, guided by the island gods, sets out on a remarkable quest to reunite with the man who has captured her heart.

The revival will play in the Circle in the Square Theatre (235 W. 50th Street, NYC) this fall, directed by Tony nominee Michael Arden, and choreographed by the critically acclaimed Camille A. Brown. Tony Award winner Nikki M. James is set as the Assistant Director. Production is set to begin preview performances on Thursday, November 9, 2017, and officially open on Sunday, December 3.

Additional casting will be announced at a later date. Ti Moune, Papa Ge, & more are yet to be announced.
