Broadway Stars Come Home to Jersey for "Guys and Dolls" at the Axelrod

(OCEAN, NJ) -- “Broadway at the Shore” continues on the Axelrod stage from November 1-17 with Frank Loesser’s masterpiece Guys and Dolls, considered by many the greatest musical of the 20th century. “The musical score for Guys and Dolls is why people love to see this show,” enthuses Axelrod Artistic Director Andrew DePrisco. “Everyone loves these songs, yet very few remember who wrote them, which makes Frank Loesser one of Broadway’s best known, yet least known composers. From ‘Luck Be a Lady’ and ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’ to ‘If I Were Bell’ and ‘Heart and Soul,’ Loesser’s songs are instantly recognizable.”

Audiences Love "The Ghost Train" at Centenary

(HACKETTSTOWN, NJ) -- Critics and audiences are raving over Centenary Stage Company’s production of Arnold Ridley’s The Ghost Train which continues its run now through October 20 in the Lackland Performing Arts Center.  First produced in 1925 and filmed no less than three times, The Ghost Train was a long running success in London and on Broadway.

Makin Waves Record of the Week: "What Kind of World?" by Arlan Feiles

With the progressive passion of Woody Guthrie, flashes of the poetry of Bob Dylan, the Americana grit of Bruce Springsteen, the singer-songwriter-instrumentalist sensibility of Jackson Browne, and the Ray Charles-inspired blue-eyed soul of Van Morrison, Jersey Shore-based, Los Angeles-bred Arlan Feiles has established himself as a respected artist worldwide with the release of five independent albums. But his sixth, “What Kind of World?,” is his best because he seems even more inspired with the recent birth of his first son to confront society’s ills with an eclectic palate of roots music, including gospel, soul, blues, folk and country. His view of the world through not only a father’s eyes, but also those of a child, is stunning in its beauty and might.
