New Yorks Radio City Rockettes Christmas Spectacular Ticket Deals
been high-kicking off the Holiday season with classic dance numbers,
special effects, gorgeous costumes and innovative staging since 1933.
Every year, more than one million people enter Radio City Music Hall to
see the one-of-a-kind show and participate in a classic New York
tradition. In fact, for many theatergoers, the Radio City Christmas
Spectacular is an annual event, right up there with the Rockefeller
Christmas tree and the Holiday window displays, and a quintessential
part of the Christmas-in-New-York experience.
A Christmas Story, The Musical
debuted, and the holiday hijinks of the Depression-era Parker family
have been part of American culture ever since. Driven by nine-year-old
Ralphie Parker’s desperate wish to find a Red Ryder BB Gun in his
stocking, the movie has become an annual event, joining It’s a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street
in the pantheon of Christmas classics. Now reimagined for the stage as a
musical, the holiday hit will once again come to the stage in December.

What queen doesn’t want get backstage at Radio City Music Hall??
During the Radio City Stage Door Tour, guests go behind the scenes of
New York City’s iconic Radio City Music Hall to learn about its history,
exquisite Art Deco architecture and the secrets of the “Great Stage.”
Plus, visitors can take advantage of a fun photo opportunity to
high-kick in step with a Radio City Rockette.
A friendly, knowledgeable tour guide welcomes visitors into the
venue’s art deco lobby adorned with enormous jeweled chandeliers, golden
doors and a majestic staircase. The tour takes guests back to 1932 when
Radio City, the first building in the Rockefeller Center complex,
opened as the world’s largest indoor theater (at the time) and daily
presented the Rockettes and other live acts in between movies. Guests
hear fascinating stories about the building’s stunning murals, nude
aluminum statues (that were once taboo) as well as the intriguing
justification for how the ladies’ and gentlemen’s bathrooms and lounges
were decorated.
Inside the theater, visitors view the massive stage that stretches
an entire city block (from 50th to 51st Streets) and learn how it gets
raised and lowered by its original hydraulic system. On the top floor,
guests view a short film inside the former private apartment of Radio
City Music Hall’s innovator and theatrical impresario, the late S.L.
“Roxy” Rothafel. Framed posters of famed Radio City acts line the
corridors, including Prince, Elton John, Justin Timberlake and Bette
Midler, who broke a Radio City record in 1993 by selling out 30 shows.

October 11th Premiere of HIDDEN HILLS
small group of people have been producing a film that will hopefully
make a huge impact on your life. Not only will it make you laugh, think,
and get a big old lump in your throat, but hopefully, it will help you
rethink some really important stereotypes you might carry with you.
in Hidden Hills, California. A handsome real estate agent, Drew Drake
finds himself in a secret relationship that has become an overbearing
lie. For seven years he has secretly been dating and living with his
business partner Whitey Ford. None of his friends know. The issue isn’t
that they’re gay. Nearly everyone in Hidden Hills is gay. (Straight
people are the ones hiding in the closet.) The problem is that both Drew
and Whitey are Caucasian.
No
one dates the same race! It’s a social taboo. Will Drew Drake have the
nerve to buck societal norms and come clean about his love for Whitey
Ford? Can two white men admit their love for each other and take their
relationship to the next level – marriage?
Starring
Ted Trent and Tim O’Leary, Hidden Hills is a comedy that looks at race,
sexuality, aging, and weight issues, flipping the world upside down in a
72 minute feature film that mimics the classic styling of Rock Hudson
and Doris Day movies. Also featuring up and coming Hollywood talent
including Joy Sudduth (Criminal Minds), Wendy Shapero (Robot Chicken),
and Chris Fennessy (Zoey 101) and a performance of an original song by
Jane Wiedlin of The Go-Go’s. The movie was written and directed by Dan
Steadman (Red Lodge) whose first project Jesus People: The Movie is to
be released in early 2014. It features Wendi McLendon-Covey
(Bridesmaids) and Academy Award® winner Octavia Spencer (The Help).

Unbroken Circle & Tennessee William’s The Two Character Play – Hosting a LGBT night September 12th and 19th
TWO CHARACTER PLAY: SEPTEMBER 12th
Tony Award winner Amanda Plummer (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Agnes of
God, Pulp Fiction) and Academy Award nominee Brad Dourif (The voice of Chucky in the Child’s Play Series,
Lord of the Rings Trilogy, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,
Deadwood) unite their white-hot talents for this highly anticipated
production of Tennessee Williams’ The Two-Character Play. Reality and
fantasy are interwoven with terrifying power as two actors on tour –
brother and sister – find themselves deserted by their troupe. Faced by
an audience expecting a performance, they enact The Two-Character Play. As they
dip in and out of performance they find it difficult to differentiate
themselves from their roles and reality from illusion. Haunting, provocative,
and often funny, The Two-Character Play is one of Tennessee Williams’
most personal – and mystifying – works. Now playing, for more info
go to www.thetwocharacterplay.com
Purchase a $40 ticket to Tennessee Williams’ The Two-Character Play when you use code CPLGBT816 and receive admission to a
special post show LGBT Night reception.
