Jane & Maine

November 27, 2015 by rhapcityblog

I’d like to propose a toast… Here’s to the lady of the hour!!  JANE ORANS is more than just a sentient human being. She’s an idea. A philosophy of life. A force that is unstoppable. Simply put: I would totally choose Jane Orans over John Cena if I ever needed an assist during a fight. (He’s like the Gaston of professional wrestling for those of you struggling with the WWE reference.) This woman means a lot to me. Shall I count […]

The New Yorker Festival Gave Me All The Feels

October 14, 2014 by rhapcityblog

“Entertainment changes the world.” – Peter Paige This past weekend I attended two events at The New Yorker Festival. I full out fangirl for this weekend every October because it is an example of exactly why I came to New York in the first place. Now in its 15th year, The New Yorker Festival is an opportunity to sit in a room with extraordinary talents, legends, tastemakers, cultural icons, and experts in the fields of TV, Film, Art, Food, Music, Stage, Economics, […]

“What’s Been Going on Down Below” – by Dylan Bustamante

September 6, 2013 by rhapcityblog

So about a year ago, I was blessed with probably one of the most unique jobs a person can have in the Broadway community. Being dropped into a world where anything can happen, anyone can show up, and anything can go wrong. I work at 54 Below. Located in the basement of the old Studio 54, it’s the go-to theatre hangout where each night you are sure to find Broadway legends (Patti LuPone, Bebe Neuwirth), downtown favorites (Bridget Everett, Jackie […]

“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 […]
