Battle of the Bonnets Swing Dance – NYC Easter Parade 2009 – Mike Arenella & Dreamland Orchestra

admin — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 09:32:39 +0000

Filmed by a random kind stranger, but she kept flipping the camera sideways and back which makes for a dizzying video, but at least we have a memory of the challenging fun dance. It is not often that we would dance with butterflies, reindeer moss, candied eggs, silk flowers, feathers and birds on our heads! I had to tie my boater hat with a white ribbon to prevent it from falling off but it ended up making me look more like Beatrix Potter’s Jemima Puddle Duck. Our hats collided a few times but you just laugh and move on. But in answer to who won the best bonnet in the dance battle? Clearly Michelle’s spectacular psychedelic butterfly paradise won by an eggstatic stretch.

Special mention: Michael Arenella is on the trumpet fronting his fabulous Dreamland Orchestra performing to Tiger Rag. It does not get any better than that.

Easter Sunday, April 12th

12:30 pm – 3 pm

Fifth Avenue near 54th street, a couple blocks north of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral

Michael Arenella and His 11-piece Dreamland Orchestra invites you to join us this Easter Sunday at the Easter Parade.

Prompted by the proliferation of Peruvian karaoke pipists and folks sporting spaghetti strainers as headwear, we’d like to reclaim the Old New York elegance that defined the Easter Parade.

We’ve decided to stake out a corner of Fifth Avenue and greet the glamorous ghosts of yore strolling by in their Sunday best, as well as our flourescent modern counterparts.

Meet us just north of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral (our exact location will depend on the local constabulary) near Fifth Avenue and 54th St.

2008 04-25 Broadway Bulletin: BC/EFA Easter – Pamela’s First

admin — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 10:53:14 +0000

*BC/EFA EASTER BONNET at Minskoff Theatre
*Wendy Wasserstein and BC/ECF event
*PAMELA’S FIRST MUSICAL at Town Hall

Easter is already a faint memory this year. I have no idea why it happened practically in the dead of Winter, and quite honestly, it felt like a non event and there were some pitiful bonnets on 5th Avenue. No matter, you have not seen an Easter bonnet, until you’ve seen the Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS Easter Bonnet Competition. A virtual cornucopia of color and design crafted by the cast and crews of dozens of Broadway shows, one of the bonnets even has a small city living in inside it. The Broadway Cares/ Equity Fights Aids Easter Bonnet is an annual spring event that puts a button on an intensive 6 week fundraising period on Broadway. The competition will be held April 28th and 29th at the Minskoff Theatre and is not to be missed.

Another great BC/EFA event is coming up on May 18th and this one is going to be a hot ticket. The final work of the late Wendy Wasserstein (book) and the late Cy Coleman (music) will be presented in concert at 3:00 on Sunday, May 18 at Town Hall with a reception to follow at Sardi’s. Proceeds will benefit BC/EFA and Theatre Development Fund’s Open Doors Program, which Wendy Wasserstein founded.

Pamela’s First Musical features an all-star cast starring Tony Award winner Donna Murphy as Pamela’s beloved “Aunt Louise.” A ton of stars like Richard Kind, Tommy Tune and Robert Klein are also scheduled to appear…It’s a one act musical, based on Wasserstein’s 1996 children’s book about a young girl from the suburbs who spends an unforgettable birthday with her eccentric, sophisticated Aunt Louise attending a lavish Broadway production and meeting all the glamorous, creative people who made it possible..

Two great events coming up to benefit an awesome organization…
