B Equals Broadway in the Big Apple

This week’s Buzz is all about the letter “B!” Broadway and the Big Apple!

If you’re going up to New York this week, it’s exciting. The Tony Awards have all been given out, and there’s a few picks of my own that I recommend. On Monday night, go to Birdland. It’s Legend’s Radio’s New York Minute, Jim Caruso and Billy Stritch at the helm and a Cast Party! All the top stars from Broadway come and share their talent – not to be missed!

Ava Faith, Jim Caruso, and Me — Ava Faith, Billy Stritch, and Me

At the top of everybody’s list is Hello Dolly this season with Bette Midler. A tough ticket, but a must-see. A few new shows on the pike that everyone’s talking about: Natasha Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812 starring Josh Groban, and Come From Away, which is absolutely heartwarming. A revival that everyone is raving about is Miss Saigon – it’s absolutely phenomenal. Get your tickets for any of these fantastic shows online at www.broadway.com.

It's a hot season for Broadway! — It’s a hot season for Broadway!

A personal favorite: War Paint, starring Christine Ebersole and Patti LuPone. Christine’s been a friend of mine for 35 years. She’s won two Tony Awards! Patti LuPone is also a major star on Broadway and a Tony Award winner. They play Elizabeth Arden and Helena Rubinstein – with set designs, and costumes, and voices like that it’s not to be missed!

Everybody is talking about the dramatic plays this season. A Doll’s House Part 2 with Laurie Metcalf and Chris Cooper and we have Oslo, about the Middle East Peace talks of 1993. We also have The Little Foxes, Lillian Hellman’s play, starring Cynthia Nixon and Laura Linney on alternate nights. And, we have Kevin Kline and Noel Coward in Present Laughter.

Fabulous shows to catch this season on Broadway.

My last recommendation is Dear Evan Hansen. It’s at the top of just about everyone’s list. There are many other fabulous plays on Broadway this season- get a ticket to a show if you can!

It’s a sizzling summer in Manhatten. Remember that as I’m buzzing around the country, the letter “B” is my favorite letter, but I have all the letters, A through Z, as part of my Bonnie Roseman BLT Collection of accessories. I have your favorite letter too, dipped in silver or gold, which can make a fabulous necklace or belt – a great addition to any wardrobe.

Email bonnie@bonnieroseman.com to purchase your favorite letter or initials.

Keep checking in with me this summer as I buzz around the country, at LegendsRadio.com and bonnieroseman.com. I’ll be giving you recommendations for where to go, what to see, and what to wear when you get there!

Washington D.C. it hot this time of year, so cottons are best for staying cool. Pair a form-fitting tunic with one of our new leather Daniela Ortiz bags for a fresh summer look.

Jazzy June in Palm Beach

June is quite jazzy and steaming up this month, here in Palm Beach County!

Le Rendez-vous has live music on Sunday nights and Tuesday nights, and you never know who’s going to be jammin’ there! It’s at 221 Datura Street off of Olive in downtown West Palm Beach – a fantastic place with fashion videos and delicious small bites- it’s a great romantic spot.

Then there’s Banko Cantina – it’s a three story restored bank building on Olive just south of Clematis Street, right around the corner from Le Rendez-vous where you can see a fabulous live Motown group singin’ and swingin’. The Motown Sound is on Tuesday nights, but you can always call them for additional information at (561) 355 – 1399.

In North County up in Jupiter it is The Double Roads Tavern off of Indiantown Road on US-1. They’re always having celebrations and anniversaries of all types of jazz, rock n’ roll, and blues. I highly recommend it!

I know Tony Silver and his band will be jammin’ at Dorian’s on Saturday night this week on Clematis Street, another great place to get your toes tapping.

Let’s not forget, in the South part of the county in Boca Raton, it’s the Funky Biscuit! They have live music just about every night of the week. Monday night is blues night – can’t miss that!

A funky venue that knows how to party — A funky venue that has fabulous live music

On Thursday nights every week, at the Waterfront in West Palm Beach, it’s Clematis By Night. This Thursday night, June 1st, Summer in Paradise opens with a tribute band to Michael Jackson called Man in the Mirror. Great activity for the whole family.

Clematis by Night - bring the whole family — Clematis by Night – bring the whole family

Also, there are special activities on Thursday night at the Norton Art Museum for free! Art After Dark – check it out in your local listings. There’s a good chance you’ll hear some live music – always interesting.

Always an interesting collection to see at the Norton — It’s always very entertaining at the Norton on Thursday nights

A couple of my favorites, Michael Masci at the Pelican Cafe every Thursday night this summer – he’ll be singing the American Songbook.

And, Raquel Williams! Singing the beautiful ballads and swinging songs at the Polo Lounge at the Colony Hotel on Saturday night – not to be missed!

As the summer starts to sizzle, and June’s breezes are blowing with swingin’ jazz, remember, it’s all about dressing with style. Bring out those lightweight whites, brights, and pastels.
