New Year’s eVe

The clock will strike midnight, the ball will drop, kisses will be exchanged, and the promise of a New Year will light up the night sky. If there’s any town that can be trusted to get New Year’s right, it’s NYC, where Times Square provides a focal point for the world. A million people join the celebration live, and over a billion people watch on TV. If you go, dress warmly and be sure to get there very early—security is tight and the area is locked down hours before the ball drop. The ball itself is a wonder: nearly six tons, covered in Waterford crystals, with more than 16 million colors. It’s been a Times Square tradition since 1907.

The city will be putting on tons of great parties, headed up by the award-winning, multi-platinum selling singer, songwriter, and actress Macy Gray. She’s performing on December 30th and 31st at legendary midtown haunt The Iridium, with a NYE Ball Drop Party that includes a three-course prix fixe meal with open bar and champagne toast, as well as an escort to watch the ball drop at midnight. Nearby hotspot The Ribbon will also be escorting guests outside in time for midnight, on top of a DJ and four-course dinner.

(The Ribbon’s original Upper West Side spot is hosting New Year’s Eve with a prix fixe dinner, free-flowing champagne, and the music of the Harlem Blues Project.) You can laugh your way into the new decade in the heart of Times Square at LOL Times Square Comedy Club, or down in Chelsea at Gotham Comedy Club, which presents two shows with The Gotham All-Stars.

American Cut pays homage to that ultimate New York dining experience—the steakhouse. Both midtown and Tribeca locations will be serving updated takes on the classics for New Year’s Eve. For a Cuban take on the holiday, look to Havana Central, which offers a five-course Cuban feast and live Latin music by Conjunto Guantanamo at the 9pm seating. To celebrate at one of NYC’s most famous landmarks, enjoy hand-crafted beers and cocktails, hors d’oeuvres platters, and more at Heartland Brewery & Rotisserie in the Empire State Building. Le Privé, the Theater District’s home for “French dining, redefined,” will have a Roaring ‘20s theme and a prix fixe with entree temptations like paella, steak frites, whole grilled branzino, or house signature magret de canard. For an elegant Greek slant on New Year’s Eve dinner, Midtown East’s Nerai is your destination, with a choice of four- or seven-course tasting menus.

David Burke Tavern on the Upper East Side is a modern American restaurant by award-winning celebrity chef David Burke. On New Year’s Eve you can find creative lunch and dinner seatings; New Year’s Day will feature a special 2020 Champagne Brunch & Happy Hour from 11am-4pm.)

Downtown, you can find the biggest party at the biggest beer hall in all of Manhattan, the West Village’s Houston Hall. The evening features a Roaring ‘20s theme and a live DJ. You can dance the night away at beloved beer hall Flatiron Hall with a four-hour open bar from 9pm–1am. At the very tip of the island, The Oyster House at Pier A welcomes guests to its landmark location with celebratory cocktails, scrumptious food, live music, a midnight champagne toast, and riverside views of the fireworks.

You can finish out 2019 on a peaceful note at the New Year’s Eve Concert for Peace, an annual performance at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine that was started by Leonard Bernstein in 1984. For fireworks at year’s end, check out the NYRR Midnight Run in Central Park. Join the fun and celebrate with music and dancing (starting at 10pm) as 2019 comes to a close. A four-mile run begins on the stroke of midnight, as will a spectacular pyrotechnic display.

Cover Story Caissie Levy Sparkles as Frozen’s Elsa

Deen van Meer

By Meryl Pearlstein

Caissie Levy as Elsa, with the waltzing company of Frozen.

When you step into Broadway’s St. James Theatre for Disney’s latest stage adaptation of an animated feature, don’t think for a moment its appeal is limited to kids. Frozen, despite a guaranteed cavalcade of mini Elsas, Annas, and Olafs posing for snapshots and voguing in the aisles, goes far deeper into the lives of royal sisters Elsa and Anna than the 2013 film did.

“It’s a story that means a lot to both adults and children,” says Caissie Levy, who plays the conflicted “Ice Queen,” Elsa, whose magic leaves her soul “spiraling in frozen fractals all around.”

A musical theater veteran whose Broadway credits include Les Misérables, Ghost, Hair, Wicked, and Hairspray, Levy goes on to explain how the stage version (book by Jennifer Lee; direction by Tony winner Michael Grandage), highlights the princesses’ backstories and relationships. “There are many themes at play here, from love to self-discovery and self-acceptance. It’s an important Broadway show for theatergoers of all ages.”

Adding action and dimension to these themes are thrilling visuals: giant castle doors…treacherous snow-studded mountains…a breathtaking ice palace—all portals to an otherworldly time and place where Elsa, born with the power to conjure snow and ice, goes from carefree child to solitary adolescent to reluctant queen, forced to distance herself from Anna, who desperately longs to be with her enchanted big sister.

But once Elsa’s powers are unleashed 26

facebook.com/cityguideny

full force on the village and beyond—creating a supernatural winter in the middle of summer—she runs off, leaving her kingdom, subjects, and sister behind. Her objective is a familiar one: to find herself.

“I hear a lot about the appeal of the show when I meet people at the stage door.

People tell me how Elsa’s struggles are like their own…about fitting in or about accepting personal issues,” says Levy. “They see Elsa as someone who turns her own difficult situation and need to be perfect into something beautiful, something that finally allows her to be free.”

It’s for these theatergoers that Levy’s gorgeous delivery of Frozen’s Grammy-winning “Let It Go” soars beyond show-stopping stature. “I’m singing an anthem that, for many, reaches their soul,” notes the Canadian-born actress, who clearly understands the impact of such lyric lines as: “Let it go, let it go…

Here I stand and here I’ll stay…I’m never going back/The past is in the past!”

That transformative number, Elsa’s “aha!” moment, ends Act I and sets the stage for a second act in which Anna (Patti Murin), who has spent several scenes

“An important Broadway show for theatergoers of all ages...”

@cityguidenyc

instagram.com/cityguideny

wending her way through snowy terrain in search of her sister, has her own epiphany.

Murin’s Anna, whose mischievous personality is made up of equal parts spunk, optimism, and naiveté, finds herself on the flip side of magic, dealing with down-to-earth emotional triggers stemming from attraction, loss, friendship, and romance.

Although instantly smitten by Prince Hans of the Southern Isles (John Riddle), she finds herself inexplicably drawn to commoner/ mountain dude Kristoff (Jelani Aladdin) who, along with his reindeer companion Sven (Andrew Pirozzi), become her traveling companions on her quest to find Elsa. The trio becomes a foursome when Anna and Elsa’s imaginary friend from childhood—a lovably goofy snowman named Olaf (Greg Hildreth)— materializes. Note: Sven and Olaf, characters already adored by fans of the movie, have been ingeniously brought to stage life through

awesome costume and puppet artistry.

(Stuffed versions are for sale in the theater, and no, you don’t have to be a youngster to absolutely need to take them home with you.)

As for the score, composers Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez have added several outstanding new numbers to their beloved movie songbook, while the dances by Tony-winning choreographer Rob Ashford are, quite simply, enchanting. In fact, every aspect of Frozen seems to seamlessly blend together.

“While the story is about love, it’s not a girl-meets-boy kind of love,” says Levy. “Here it’s about the love between two sisters and how that triumphs over all. For me, it’s interesting, too, because it’s the first play that I’ve been in where my character isn’t involved in any romance,” she adds with a laugh. “But Elsa is still an anguished female with a love story, and that’s a role that’s exciting to play.”

Frozen is playing at Broadway’s St James Theatre, 246 W. 44th St. For tickets call 877-250-2929 or visit frozenthemusical.com.

staten island A New Horizon for New York Visitors: Staten Island Travelers to New York have long known about the Staten Island Ferry, the free ride through New York Harbor that offers stunning views of the Lower Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty. What’s been less well known are the enticements of Staten Island itself, which have significantly increased with the arrival of the city’s first outlet mall, Empire Outlets.

Spectacular views from dawn to dusk at Top of the Rock.

New York is a vertical city and there’s no place better to take it all in than the incredible top of the rock, a stunning perch atop Rockefeller Center.

You’ll find state-of-the-art features such as reserved-time tickets (meaning you won’t need to spend hours standing in line), multimedia exhibits, an indoor viewing area (nice and cozy for colder days), and transparent safety-glass panels that allow wholly unobstructed views of the city’s most iconic landmarks, including the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the rivers, and all of Central Park (its size can only truly be appreciated when seen from above).

This crown jewel of NYC sightseeing also boasts two crystal installations by Swarovski and the jaw-dropping Sky Shuttle elevators.

Outfitted with transparent glass ceilings, the Sky Shuttles let riders view their own rapid acceleration through the building’s shaftway as they zip their way towards the light and open air above. The Grand Viewing Deck on the 69th floor offers unparalleled views of the city, with visibility reaching some 30 miles on a clear day.

The 70th Floor is the proverbial cherry on top, allowing visitors to experience a 360-degree panorama of Manhattan in all of its glory. This is an open-air perch with completely unobstructed views—no glass or anything. It provides a vantage point unlike any other in the city...or the world. Open daily 8am-midnight. Admission $36 adults, $34 seniors above age 62, $30 children 6-12.; kids 6 and under free. 30 Rockefeller Plaza (btw. Fifth & Sixth Aves.), 877-NYC-ROCK, topoftherocknyc.com

A New Decade of Big Apple Theatre Takes Off!

By GRIFFIN MILLER

Taylor Louderman, as apex predator Regina George, stands front and center in Mean Girls.

Deen van Meer

A shiny New Year has arrived, urging us to plunge (headlong or otherwise) into our annual list of resolutions. Dieting and decluttering aside, I recommend tackling the fun stuff first, especially the resolve to up our live entertainment ante—New York City theatre in particular. And as it happens, January is the perfect jumping off point. In fact, with seasonal shoppers and Times Square revelers heading home, this is prime time to ditch the winter chill factor and cozy up to some of Broadway’s best, including the Tony winning musicals The Book of Mormon, Chicago, Dear Evan Hansen, Hadestown, The Lion King, Oklahoma!, and The Phantom of the Opera.

Naturally, this is only a partial list of the high-profile Broadway shows playing to standing ovations every performance. Original musicals like Aladdin, Come From Away, Frozen, Mean Girls and Wicked continue

Jonathan Freeman excels at villainy as Aladdin’s Jafar, with some help from Don Darryl Rivera’s Iago.

to amass must-see accolades, as does an electrifying trio of jukebox musicals: Ain’t Too Proud—The Life and Times of the Temptations, Jagged Little Pill, and TINA: The Tina Turner Musical.

Also worth checking out are the two Broadway previews currently underway. First off comes the big buzz revival of the Jerome Robbins/Arthur Laurents/Leonard Bernstein/ Stephen Sondheim classic, West Side Story.

Jettisoning the show’s original choreography is that of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, whose work has been breaking new artistic ground since 1980. The all-new production is directed by Tony winner Ivo van Hove (A View from the Bridge) and features a predominantly young cast, 23 of whom are making their Broadway debuts.

The second preview is My Name Is Lucy Barton, a solo show adapted for the stage by Rona Munro from the bestselling novel by Pulitzer Prize winner Elizabeth Strout. The play stars Laura Linney, whose awards, four Emmys and two Golden Globes—alongside three Oscar and four Tony nominations—confirm her status as an actor of exceptional gifts and emotional range. To see her in a onewoman performance that has been described as “luminous” is clearly an opportunity not to be passed up.

In casting news, Tony Goldwyn will take on the role of Henry Wilcox in The Inheritance for a limited stint beginning January 5th. He’ll be filling in for Tony winner John Benjamin Hickey, who is taking a planned

@cityguidenyc

instagram.com/cityguideny

leave of absence to direct Neil Simon’s Plaza Suite starring Emmy winner Sarah Jessica Parker and her husband, Tony winner Matthew Broderick (previews set to begin midMarch). Goldwyn, last seen on Broadway in last season’s Network with Bryan Cranston, has a massive bio that includes such TV work as Scandal, Chambers, and From the Earth to the Moon, and films like Ghost, Divergent, and The Pelican Brief.

The acclaimed production, like the Tonywinning hit Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, is presented in two separate parts that can be booked back to back or on separate days. As for its storyline, the play is a 21st-century re-envisioning of E.M. Forster’s Howard’s End by playwright Matthew Lopez. Set in Manhattan, The Inheritance mesmerizes with dynamic performances and compelling direction by Tony and Olivier Award winner Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot; The Crown)

Harris), will begin Little Shop performances on January 21st.

While West Side Story has locked down Broadway when it comes to redefining Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, on January 14th, A.R.T./New York Theatres is launching the spoof Romeo & Bernadette, in which a misguided Romeo finds himself in 1960s Brooklyn chasing the daughter of a mob boss.

And speaking of spoofs, get ready for the return of a bona fide NYC favorite: Forbidden Broadway: The Next Generation.

Taking up residence at its new York Theatre Company home on January 15th, this proven crowd pleaser by Tony winner Gerard Alessandrini takes aim at the best of the best, from Hamilton to Hadestown, Billy Porter to Bette Midler…nothing and no one is sacred in this white-hot revue!

As you might have guessed, January also amasses points for being a terrific time to explore the city’s sizable collection of Off-Broadway shows, starting with three long-running, family-friendly, highly original productions: the wildly funny, buoyantly messy, techno-surreal Blue Man Group; the percussion-savvy Stomp, with its cacophony of rhythms and seismic choreography; and the Gazillion Bubble Show, where visual razzle-dazzle comes wrapped in mondo-bubbles, cool special effects, and post-show photo ops.

OFF THE GREAT WHITE WAY

You’ll heart Josh Lamon and Lesli Margherita in Emojiland at The Duke on 42nd Street.

Finally, get ready for a truly unique and timely new musical in which your favorite text addendums come to life. Welcome to Emojiland, a neighborhood populated by familiar Emoji characters (i.e., smiley face, princess, policeman, skull, construction worker, and so on) who, it seems, actually have a life outside of text messages.

Not only that, they’re dealing with all kinds of personal and interpersonal issues. And beware the software! Updates just might demolish their world. A number of first-rate Broadway veterans—including Tony nominee Lesli Margherita (Matilda), make up the ensemble cast that inhabits this funny and surprisingly poignant musical.

Not to be confused with, and very much unlike The Emoji Movie, this acclaimed musical is an electric ensemble piece about a diverse community of archetypes who take one another at face value: a smiling face dealing with depression; a princess who doesn’t want a prince; a skull dying for deletion; a nerd face too smart for his own good; a face with sunglasses who can’t see past his own reflection; and a police officer and construction worker who just want to work together. When a software update threatens to destroy life as they know it, Emojiland faces the most fundamental questions a society – and a heart – can face: Who are we? And who matters?

Waterfront Views Meet Fresh Seafood at The Oyster House at Pier A BY Merrill lee Girardeau One of the best views in Manhattan, Pier A looks out onto New York Harbor, filled with boats, ferries, and Lady Liberty herself. Come gaze at this incredible view, and relish a plate of fresh seafood while you’re at it. The Oyster House at Pier A is a casual seafood bar and eatery, perfect for a stop-off after a visit to the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Wall Street, One World Observatory, or any other Lower Manhattan attraction.

The eaTs The restaurant harkens back to New York’s historical oyster eateries and downtown institutions like the Fulton Fish Market. Raw offerings include East Coast and West Coast oysters with all the fixings. Or you might like your fish fried or grilled—try beer-battered haddock or the Colossal Shrimp, served with French fries and tartar sauce. Grilled seafoods include tiger shrimp, mahi mahi, and Cajun-style swordfish, all served with salad and sauces like salsa verde or sweet chili lime.

Not feeling seafood? Have grilled chicken kebab with a house salad, a Double Stack Burger with cheddar, or chicken tinga tacos.

Plant-eaters can enjoy the Black Bean Veggie Burger or butternut squash soup, and

gluten-free dishes are clearly labeled; opt for a sandwich with gluten-free bread or indulge in snacks like Chinatown Pickled Eggs or Old Bay Fries. The Oyster House welcomes families, too—there’s even a kids’ menu.

True to New York roots, local purveyors here include Acme Smoked Fish, featured on the shareable Brooklyn Lox Plate. Also from Brooklyn is Steve’s Key Lime Pie, the famous Red Hook dessert that caps off your meal perfectly.

The Drinks A full-service bar offers unique cocktails in addition to beer and wine. Try a Red Snapper, a Bloody Mary variation with cucumber vodka, tomato, celery, and spices. Perfect for the pub-like atmosphere, you can also have an Irish coffee at brunch or a pineapple daiquiri when you’re feeling tropical. Come for The Oyster Hour, Monday through Friday from 3 to 7pm, for deals on drinks and bites. Right now you can pair six fresh oysters on the half shell with drinks like Guinness, a house martini, or a glass of muscadet.

The LocaTion The Oyster House operates via counter service rather than table service. Here’s how it works: order from The Oyster House’s all-day menu at one of the bars. You’ll get a tracker that alerts you when your food is ready. A member of the staff will drop off your order when the tracker turns on.

The Oyster House takes pride in the area’s history and is located inside a building that opened in 1886. Pier A is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Study the walls inside for photographs and objects that recall the storied past of New York’s waterfront. Also keep The Oyster House in mind if you ever have a company party, reunion, birthday, or other celebration—flexible spaces are available for groups of all sizes.

One of the best views in Manhattan...

The Oyster House at Pier A is located at 22 Battery Pl. (Little West St.), 212-785-0153, PierA.com.
