October 8, 2014 by rhapcityblog

“A magnificent voice and charming demeanor…” —Metro On September 30, 2014- Joelle Lurie released her long-awaited debut album “Take Me There” with The Pinehurst Trio which made it into the Top 10 jazz albums on iTunes in its first week. The previous night, she played a sold out release concert held at Subculture in New York City.

“Rock Bottom” Never Felt So Good – by Dana Craig

September 14, 2014 by rhapcityblog

I think we throw around the term “force of nature” around willy nilly. Don’t you think? The Dictionary defines the phrase as such: “In physics, one of the fundamental forces that occur in nature and affect the structure of the universe, including gravitation, electromagnetism, strong force, and weak force.” When we then apply the term to human beings, we must be careful, for not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry fits this definition. There have been a few- John Belushi, […]

“I’ll Eat Bette Last”- by Dana Craig

May 8, 2013 by rhapcityblog

So, here’s the thing. Bette Midler is completely satisfying. Her return to Broadway is very exciting for me, as Bette is a rather heavy-duty influence in my life. It passed the “unhealthy” stage about 10 years ago somewhere in high school. I have been known to cut a bitch who counters my steadfast belief that Bette Midler is performer perfection. Having said that, I must offer up a disclaimer for the statements that follow: What you are about to read is not a […]

“I’d Like To Propose A Toast: 15 Reasons Why New York City Will Miss Elaine Stritch”- by Adam Ceschin

April 28, 2013 by rhapcityblog

1. Manhattanites used to wake every morning to Elaine Stritch hanging from the tip of the Empire State Building yelling “RISE!” into a mega phone. 2. Saks Fifth Avenue will have to make up for the dramatic drop in sales of gaudy fur coats. 3. Gone is the irony of Elaine going out to lunch in the city. Ladies Who Lunch 4. Paul McCartney will be stepping in to play all the old bitter brassy lady roles on Broadway. 5. The Carlyle […]

” Woody Allen Gives ZERO F**KS About What You Think And Other New York-isms”- by Adam Ceschin

April 14, 2013 by rhapcityblog

Jesus H. Minnelli, I miss NYC. I lived there only a year but I’ve always felt, I’m talking early childhood on, that I was a New Yorker. It’s just in me. Maybe that’s why I left after only a year? I knew if I didn’t get out then, I would stay there forever. New York feels natural to me. Especially Manhattan, which is an entity unto her own. A self analyzing beast that is equally floated by it’s over-educated self-righteousness […]
