Paved Paradise: The Songs of Joni Mitchell

Paved Paradise

starring John Kelly
with Zecca Esquibel
featuring the music of Joni Mitchell
11/1/2007-11/4/2007

A poignant homage to the legendary folk-rock diva, lovingly performed by one of New York’s most talented multimedia artists.

Award-winning John Kelly masterfully inhabits Joni's personae and sings with an uncanny likeness to the smoky soprano herself. Too exquisite to be camp—too improbable to be anything else! After seeing the show, Joni herself told The New York Times: "I was braced for a lampooning...I didn't expect to be so touched."

"Worshipful and Uproarious! Lovingly devastating." —New York Times

"Downright inspired! An homage that transcends!" —Daily News

Back by Popular Demand!

Definitely not your grandmother's Nutcracker! The Bang Group takes every little girl's favorite Christmas show and tears it limb from limb, with hilarious new twists for 2007! Mixing Tchaikovsky's original score with more contemporary music, the company turns the sugarcoated ballet into a beautifully executed piece of irreverent dance theatre. Whether you love or hate the original, this campy riff is brilliant for adults, rib-tickling for kids!

"The Nutcracker on crack!"
