Courtesy of Wikipedia.org The Roseland Ballroom (also referred to as Roseland Dance City) is a multipurpose hall, in a converted ice skating rink, with a colorful ballroom dancing pedigree, in New York City's theater district, on West 52nd Street. The venue can accommodate 3,200 standing (with an additional 300 upstairs), 2,500 for a dance party, between 1,300 and 1,500 in theater style, 800-1,000 for a sit-down dinner, and 1,500 for a buffet and dancing. The quirky venue has hosted everything, from a Hillary Clinton birthday party, to annual gay circuit parties, to movie premieres, to musical performances from all genres. It is best known after the American singer Fiona Apple threw her infamous tantrum during her concert at the venue in 2000. The rear of the venue faces West 53rd Street and the Ed Sullivan Theater. It is seen virtually every time that comedian David Letterman has outside antics during taping of the Late Show with David Letterman beside his theater (prompting various attempts to paint the industrial-looking wall to make it look better on national television). Roseland Ballroom History Roseland was founded initially in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1917 by Louis Brecker with financing by Frank Yuengling of the D. G. Yuengling & Son beer family. In 1919, they moved the venue to 1658 Broadway at 51st Street in New York. It was a "whites only" dance club called the "home of refined dancing", famed for the "society orchestra" groups that played there, starting with Sam Lanin and his Ipana Troubadours. The all-white, ballroom-dancing atmosphere of the club gradually changed with the ascendance in popularity of hot jazz, as played by African American bands on the New York nightclub scene. The Fletcher Henderson band played at Roseland in the 1920s and 1930s. Louis Armstrong, Count Basie (with his "Roseland Shuffle"), and Chick Webb followed with their orchestras. Other major-name bandleaders who played the venue included Vincent Lopez, Harry James, Tommy Dorsey, and Glenn Miller. Many big-band performances were broadcast live from Roseland by radio networks; recordings survive of several NBC broadcasts of 1940, featuring the young Ella Fitzgerald fronting the Chick Webb band. Brecker popularized marathon dancing until it was banned, staged female prizefights, yo-yo exhibitions, sneezing contests, and dozens of highly publicized jazz weddings with couples who met at the club. As the club grew older, Brecker attempted to formalize the dancing more by having hostesses dance for 11¢ a dance or $1.50 a half-hour with tuxedoed bouncers (politely known as "housemen") keeping order. It was to work its way into stories by Ring Lardner, Sherwood Anderson, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and John O'Hara. Roseland's Current 52nd Street History The original New York Roseland was torn down in 1956 and it moved to its new venue on West 52nd, a building that Brecker earlier had converted from an ice-skating rink to a roller-skating rink. It had been built in 1922 at a cost of $800,000 by the Iceland ice-skating franchise. A thousand skaters showed up on opening night at the 80-by-200-foot rink on November 29, 1922. Iceland went bankrupt in 1932 and the rink opened as the Gay Blades Ice Rink. Brecker took it over in the 1950s and converted it to roller-skating. Time magazine described the new Roseland's opening interior as a "purple-and-cerise tentlike décor that creates a definite harem effect." Brecker attempted to maintain its ballroom dancing style, banning rock and roll and disco. In 1974 Brecker told The New York Times, "Cheek-to-cheek dancing, that's what this place is all about." Brecker sold the building in 1981 to Albert Ginsberg. Under the new owners the Roseland began regularly scheduled "disco nights", which gave rise to a period when it was considered a dangerous venue and neighborhood menace. In 1984, a teenager was shot to death on the dance floor. In 1990, after Utah tourist Brian Watkins was killed in the subway, four of the eight suspects (members of the FTS gang) were found partying at Roseland. As a result, Roseland discontinued the "disco nights". Its low-rise three-story structure on top of the quarter-acre dance floor in the middle of midtown Manhattan has stirred concerns over its being torn down for redevelopment. In 1996, a new owner, Laurence Ginsberg, filed plans to tear down the venue and replace it with a 42-story, 459-unit apartment building. A spokesman for Ginsberg said the filing was to "beat a deadline for new, more stringent earthquake codes, which went into effect earlier" in 1996. The interior space has been subsequently renovated.

Palace Theatre is a Broadway theatre located at 1564 Broadway (at West 47th Street) in midtown Manhattan, New York City. From 1913 through about 1929, the Palace attained legendary status among vaudeville performers as the flagship of the Keith–Albee organization, and the most desired booking in the country."Supreme Vaudeville"Designed by Milwaukee architects Kirchoff & Rose, the 1,740-seat theatre was funded by Martin Beck, a vaudeville entrepreneur based in San Francisco, in an attempt to challenge Keith–Albee's east-coast monopoly. Albee in turn demanded that Beck turn over three-quarters ownership to use acts from the Keith circuit. Beck took the deal, and was in charge of the booking.When the theatre finally opened on March 24, 1913, with headliner Ed Wynn, it was not an instant success and lost money for months.Soon the Palace became the premiere venue of the Keith–Albee circuit. The theater owner Albee sometimes traded on the performers' desire for this goal by forcing acts to take a pay cut for the privilege. Even so, to "play the Palace" meant that an entertainer had reached the pinnacle of his vaudeville career. Performer Jack Haley wrote:

Set in New York in 1982, THIS IS OUR YOUTH follows forty-eight hours in the lives of three very lost young souls: Warren (played by Michael Cera), a dejected nineteen year old who has just stolen $15,000 from his abusive, tycoon father; Dennis (Kieran Culkin), his charismatic drug-dealing friend who helps Warren put the stolen money to good use; and Jessica (Tavi Gevinson), the anxiously insightful young woman who Warren yearns for. Funny, painful and compassionate, THIS IS OUR YOUTH is a living snapshot of the moment when many young people go out into the world on their own—far more sophisticated than their parents realize, and far less effectual than they themselves can possibly imagine.

3-time Emmy® Award winner Bryan Cranston (“Breaking Bad,” Argo) comes to Broadway in ALL THE WAY, a gripping new play from Pulitzer Prize-winner Robert Schenkkan. This thrilling suspense play takes you behind the doors of the Oval Office and inside the first year of Lyndon Baines Johnson’s presidency. 1964 was a pivotal moment in American history: the nation was recovering from a great tragedy and the world was in turmoil. But in the midst of this impossible situation, LBJ dared to champion a landmark civil rights bill. ALL THE WAY brings to life the ambitious, charismatic, cruel, manipulative and complex LBJ, whose machinations and backroom deals with men like J. Edgar Hoover and Martin Luther King Jr. would create a Great Society. Who better to play this larger-than-life political juggernaut than Walter White himself? Don’t miss Bryan Cranston, leading an ensemble of nearly 20 stellar actors, in the theatrical role of a lifetime: LBJ in ALL THE WAY!

About the Gallery David Findlay Jr. Gallery traces its roots to Kansas City, Missouri, where William Wadsworth Findlay opened a gallery in 1870. Among the artists of note, whose works were sold by his firm, were three of America's greatest 19th century artists Frederic Remington, George Caleb Bingham and Charles Russell. The Findlay Galleries prospered in Kansas City through two generations. In 1936 David Findlay Sr., one of the founder's three grandsons, opened a New York City gallery. Many of the most important paintings now in the Amon Carter Museum were acquired from David Findlay Sr., including Remington's great early work, 'A Dash for the Timber'. After working with his father for ten years, David Findlay Jr opened his own gallery in 1982, in the Fuller Building, in order to specialize in American 19th and 20th century paintings and sculpture. In 1988 Lee Findlay Potter joined her father in operating the gallery. In recent years Louis Newman has assumed the role of gallery director in which capacity he has brought over three decades of experience representing both contemporary artists and estates of mid 20th century American artists. With the arrival of the 21st century, David Findlay Jr. moved into larger quarters better to exhibit and represent its growing roster of major American artists. The gallery continues to explore the rich history of American art including artists of the Hudson River School, the American Impressionists, the Ash Can group, the Stieglitz group, the 1930s and 1940s American Modernists, the Indian Space painters, Abstract Expressionists, as well as many important contemporary artists.
"Historic. Hamilton is brewing up a revolution. This is a show that aims impossibly high and hits its target. It's probably not possible to top the adrenaline rush." - Ben Brantley, The New York Times. Now playing on Broadway!
A LEFT HAND CAN BE A DANGEROUS THING. Deep in the heart of Broadway, there lurks a creature so outrageous, so scandalous, so totally insane…and so refreshingly, shockingly true. This is Tyrone, the scene-stealing sprite who springs hilariously to life in this brilliant, Tony-nominated thrill ride of a comedy. True, Tyrone may be an inanimate object, but his riotously raunchy riffs on everything from love to faith shake a small Texas town to its core, while proving that it is both sinfulness and saintliness that make us all truly human…and utterly alive.
