Joined by an invited cast of all-star Broadway talent, Schonfeld will demonstrate why he is quickly becoming a sensation on New York's art-rock scene." "A true piano man and storyteller through song, Jeremy Schonfeld ( Drift, NYMF '06) chronicles New York through his richly layered blend of rock-theater fusion. Weaving together the stories of eleven New Yorkers whose lives change course after 9/11, Clear Blue Tuesday explores how we examine our own lives against the backdrop of catastrophic world events."
SCOTT SCHWARTZ NAKED MOVIE
"Director Elizabeth Lucas (NYMF: The View From Here, Captain Gravy's Wavy Navy, The Last Starfighter) presents an evening of songs from the rock movie musical Clear Blue Tuesday, featuring the film's extraordinary cast of actor-singer-songwriters. With memorable songs like 'Nice Jewish Boys' and 'Fagnet,' Mel & El: This Show Rhymes has been described as a musical Kathy & Mo meets 'Sex and the City.' Created and performed by funny femmes Melanie Adelman and Ellie Dvorkin, with music by Patrick Spencer Bodd, Evan Toth, Kimberly Stern, Noah Diamond and Amanda Sisk." "If Bette Midler, Carol Burnett and Roz Russell all got drunk and did it - Mel & El would be the result.

"Songwriters Joe Iconis (2007 Kleban Award winner) and Robert Maddock team up with director John Simpkins and a cast of starry musical theater punks for a night of piano smashing music. Some Mendelbaum classics on this program include: 'Blinded By Love' (from Mendelbaum's 1971 Gay Oedipus) 'Midnight Train To Moscow' (from the infamous R&B Chekhov adaptation, Tree Sistaz!) and 'Naked Brunch' (the title song from what critics have called 'the most offensive show of all time')."
