PHOTOS from "American Idiot" at Asbury Park Theater Company


The newly formed Asbury Park Theater Company (APTCo) is presenting Green Day’s American Idiot, the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, as the company's debut production. The first weekend of performances took place July 1-3 and photographer John Posada was on hand to take photos.  The production returns July 8-10 with shows on Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00pm and on Sundays at 5:00pm at the Kingsley Theater located inside The Berkeley Oceanfront Hotel, 1401 Ocean Avenue in Asbury Park, NJ.
Music Mountain Theatre presents "In the Heights"


(LAMBERTVILLE, NJ) -- In the Heights will open at Music Mountain Theatre on Friday, July 9 and run weekends through July 24. Conceived by Lin-Manuel Miranda, In the Heights tells the universal story of a vibrant community in New York’s Washington Heights neighborhood - a place where the coffee from the corner bodega is light and sweet, the windows are always open and the breeze carries the rhythm of three generations of music. It’s a community on the brink of change, full of hopes, dreams and pressures, where the biggest struggles can be deciding which traditions you take with you, and which ones you leave behind.

REVIEW: Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats at The Stone Pony


Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats rocked the Stone Pony in Asbury Park for a sold out show this 4th of July weekend.  The Future Tour, in support of their third studio album, kicked off in May and runs through late September.  As the rain held out, the sky broke into glorious shades of reds and blues, when the band took the stage.  Rateliff and the band were in fantastic form— never losing their octane-level energy— or raw and powerful vocals.  With a worldly fusion of blues, rock, folk, and soul (not unlike Van Morrison who they’ve covered in the documentary The Last Waltz), they were their own force of nature— rocking the house from start to finish.  From the soft horn timbres of songs like You Worry Me and Face Down in the Moment…  building up to the raucous, bone shattering tracks like S.O.B., The Night Sweats covered it all.
