Engeman’s ‘Newsies’ Is Filled With Passion, Energy

By Janee Law

info@longislandergroup.com

Engeman Theater’s newest production, “Newsies,” is filled with passion, inspiration and energy.

Last Thursday night at the Northport Village theater, Woodmere resident Tina Millman was among an audience that was captivated from start to finish.

“I think they did a nice job with the scenery, everyone had a terrific voice and the dancing was great.”

The production takes the audience to lower Manhattan and back in time to the newsboys’ strike of 1899. The story follows charismatic newsboy Jack Kelly (portrayed by Dan Tracy), the strong and courageous leader of a ragged band of teenaged ‘newsies.’

“Newsies” is based on a 1992 Disney film of the same name that was written

by Bob Tzudliker and Noni White.

Engeman’s production is directed

by Igor Goldin and choreographed by Sandalio Alvarez. It features a score by eight-time Academy Award-winner

The John W. Engeman Theater’s cast of “Newsies” commands the stage with its passionate performances, inspirational numbers and high-energy dance sequences.

Alan Menken and Jack Feldman that includes powerful numbers like “Carrying the Banner,” “Seize the Day,” “King of New York” and “Santa Fe.” Last week’s performance had many in the audience grinning ear-to-ear from the start. “Carrying the Banner”

sets the tone early on in the show’s runtime, delivering a number that’s action-packed and lively, and that gives the audience a taste of the highenergy performances to come.

Engeman’s ensemble takes things up a notch with exciting dance number “Seize the Day,” to which the crowd couldn’t help but clap along to.

Unlike the film, the musical takes a

different approach to the role of the reporter by casting a woman, Whitney Winfield, who portrays Katherine. Winfield’s portrayal of the character is mesmerizing. She delivers a strong and empowering message regarding a woman’s drive to break into a male-dominated field in “Watch What Happens.”

Her journey parallels that of male

Audience member Alice Tibbert, of Queens, said after the show the two characters were her favorite, praising their chemistry and love story.

Tibbert also noted her satisfaction with the production, adding, “It was full of action, had fantastic dancing,

and the songs were great.”

Tracy said after the show that Jack Kelly’s journey is inspirational.

“Jack is the leader, but I don’t think he sees himself as that, he’s like the glue,” Tracy said. “I think the cool part about the show is the journey he takes from a kid who doesn’t know how important he is to a man who understands that he has a voice and can make an impact in the world.”

The John W. Engeman Theater’s cast of “Newsies” offers high-spirited performance in the classic number of “The World Will Know.”

Tracy added that “Santa Fe” is his favorite number to perform, but also enjoys “The World Will Know” and “Seize the Day,” during which the cast comes together and unites as a powerful front.

“That type of stuff with all the boys is so fun, and I think that a lot of the kids in this ensemble are going to be on Broadway very soon,” he said.

“This cast is worth seeing.”

Performances of “Newsies” continue through Sept. 2 at the 250 Main St. theater in Northport Village. Show times are 8 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays; 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Saturdays; and 2 p.m. on Sundays. There are also select shows on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 7 p.m.

Tickets ($73-$78) are available at the box office or buy them online at Engemantheater.com.

M U S IC SPOTLIGHT

By Peter Sloggatt

psloggatt@longislandergroup.com

It’s Huntington night at The Paramount Aug. 11 when two bands with local ties take the stage.

Headlining the night is Even The Losers, a Tom Petty tribute band made up of Long Island-based musicians, some of whom work in the technical end of production at The Paramount. Brian Byrne of Locust Valley and Brad Cordaro of Huntington put the band together shortly after Petty’s death in Oct. 2017 as a way to honor the legacy of a songwriter and performer who had influenced them in their early years.

Byrne handles the vocals – not an easy task as anyone whose ever tried a sing-along with Petty in the car can tell you. Drummer and longtime friend Cordaro and he pulled together an eight-piece band for their first gig at The Paramount last January.

The pair said they felt a strong connection to Petty because his songs served as their introduction to music.

“We are all younger guys so Tom Petty for us was kind of the soundtrack to our childhood, so we wanted to bring back that feeling for everybody,” Byrne told Long Islander News last January.

Cordaro said the band tries to create an atmosphere of celebration on stage without trying to do a re-creation. No costumes, no wigs, no lookalikes, they instead focus on learning the music and playing it well.

“You can’t pretend to be Tom Petty,” Byrne said, with Cordaro adding, “It’s about the songs; it’s about the music.”

The pair will be among those cheering on the night’s opening act, The Caption, whose musical careers have crossed paths with Cardoro and Byrne’s.

The Caption is Chris Davey, who grew up in Huntington, and Jack Tangney of Rockville Centre. Today, both live and work in the music industry in Brooklyn, but they came together in the seemingly small world that is the Long Island music scene.

“Jack and I grew up satelliting around each other before we finally came together,” Davies said. The pair started a recording studio in Davies’ parents basement during their high shool years, and have recently been recording in the studio where Davies works. Music videos on their website (Thecaptionmusic.com) show an almost closetlike room with Tangney at piano and Davies on guitar performing what Davies calls “piano pop, or grown-up emo, maybe.”

Tangney, with a floppy shock of red hair, is the more outgoing of the two and handles lead vocals on most of their tracks, while Davies harmonizes from across the room. But, Davies said, “we both have huge egos, so we trade off a lot.”

The pair are process-oriented, and the songs are multi-layered weavings of chords and words, but structured, thanks to Davies’ degree in jazz theory.

For the Paramount show, they’ll be joined by Peter Pearson on cello, and in an effort to make the show more accessible to a new audience, the trio will be mixing in some covers for their 45-minute set.

“We’ll just be [three] dudes trying to make as much noise as possible,” Davies said.

Tickets for Even The Losers with The Caption show cost between $20-$35 and can be purchased at the box office or online at Paramountny.com. Doors open at 7 p.m. for the 8 p.m. show.

THE FOODIES

Start The Presses! Reinventing NY Panini

By Peter Sloggatt

psloggatt@longislandergroup.com

New York Panini is celebrating its 10th anniversary by doing what they’ve done best all along. They’re reinventing themselves.

When Joe Quirke, a retired NYPD cop from Greenlawn, and his wife, Phyllis, opened the Huntington village take-out spot a decade ago, it was under the La Bottega name. Not quite a franchise, but an independently owned part of a small chain of successful eateries, the restaurant found its groove on Wall Street with a hotoff-the-presses menu of made-toorder Panini and salad offerings that was a hit with lunchtime crowds and folks looking for a fast dinner on the go. But the constraints of working under someone else’s rules eventually became too much and the familyowned business and its corporate parent went their separate ways, bringing about the first of several reinventions.

Under a new name, New York Panini, the storefront eatery has flourished and continually tickled and tweaked everything from its menu to the décor to way they serve your meal. And the addition of Joe and Phyliss’ son Chris to the management team a few years back has only accelerated that process.

Chris Quirke was a veteran of the food industry when he joined the team a few years back. He started as manager with the food concession at Nassau Coliseum, later helped launch Shake Shack at Citifield, and did a stint with the guys that run New York City-based Union Square Café. After leaving for Florida to attend college, Chris came home to join the family business.

He’s spiced things up, both literally and figuratively.

On the menu side, his preferences for spicy fare and a tendency to tinker

with the menu offerings produced some new hits, starting with the Brooklyn ($9.95), a rustic roll stuffed with spicy hot sausage, fresh mozzarella, hot peppers and grilled red onions. Mostly a creations of “the guys in the kitchen,” the sandwich was a hit. So too were additions like the Buffalo ($11.75), comprised of chicken cutlet, bacon, fresh mozzarella, red onion, red peppers and classic buffalo sauce with ranch or blue cheese dressing.

The next big hit, “coming soon,” says Chris, will be the Fuggediboutit combining a spicy breaded cutlet, homemade spicy mayo, pepper jack cheese and sriracha peppers.

The introduction of wraps to the menu also took a happy collaborative change when, after tinkering with the sandwich contents in the kitchen, “my guy says we’re throwing it on the grill, right?” Chris said, adding that customers are enjoying the lightly grilled wraps.

The menu spans seafood, pork,

beef, Italian cured meats and beef, in addition to chicken, with a healthy dose of vegetarian options as well.

Fresh meats, cheeses, vegetables and sauces in tantalizing combinations on ciabata or krispina, come off the Panini press with efficiency. Nearly three dozen salad options ($6.95 to $15.95), pasta dishes made to order ($13.50 to $20.95), and appetizer favorites ($3 to $11.25) round out the menu. Family-friendly New York Panini offers a kids menu ($3.25 to $8.45) as well.

The ever-evolving restaurant recently launched a new project that extends the food day well into the night.

After a few weeks of construction on the back patio area, and a few nights of soft opening, New York Panini has gone late night. From 8-11 p.m., Thursday through Saturday nights, patrons can stop by to enjoy live entertainment, beer on tap from Sand City Brewery, as well as late night snacks like the newly introduced Gnarly Fries, a basket of spicy chicken strips,

Do You Know How The Stock Market Works? asktheexpert@longislandergroup.com

I just met with a young man I have known for many years. I know the entire family. Over the last few years he has moved south and married to a wonderful young lady with whom he has purchased a home. He was very happy because we discussed his future a few years back and he mentioned buying a house in the future. He wanted to save for the house and at the same time wanted to save for the future. We agreed that a ROTH IRA would make sense because he would not be buying for at least five or more years. He was able to take money out of the ROTH tax free for a first time home purchase.

We were reviewing his investment positions and going over details they should be addressing (if they haven’t).

This is what CFPs do – go over all the areas which should be addressed periodically.

I had them create a budget and balance sheet so they can clearly see what money is coming in and where the money going out is spent. This well be a yearly review.

Overall it was a very gratifying meeting. I have helped a young couple get on a level program of coverage and investments going forward. We will be reviewing these plans periodically going forward.

So, how is your family coverage? Is it enough to cover the expenses of losing a loved one and maintaining the family obligations and comfort?

After Fire, Tea Company Opens New Location

cbeach@longislandergroup.com

The Clipper Ship Tea Company has found a new home in Huntington where tea drinkers can scour the selection of hundreds of teas to find just what they are looking for.

Originally located in Northport Village for eight years, the Clipper Ship Tea Company was damaged in the 2017 fire at neighboring Gunther’s Tap Room.

After the fire, owner Melissa Wawrzonek moved the business to a temporary “pop-up shop” while she decided what was next.

Wawrzonek, of Northport, said, after much thought, the decision was made to move the tea company out of Northport and into its new location at 297 Main Street in Huntington village.

“We had our soft opening June 30, so we are still in our soft opening stage,” Wawrzonek said.

Melissa Wawrzonek has relocated her Clipper Ship Tea Company to Main Street in Huntington village.

The walls of the new store are lined with 200 different loose leaf teas, according to Wawrzonek. 100 of those are “single estate premium teas,” while the other 100 are innovative

The walls of the new store are lined with 200 different types of loose leaf tea.

blends the Clipper Ship Tea Company is known for, including over 70 teas that are certified organic.

“The single estate teas are really important if someone is a premium tea drinker or a high-end tea drinker,” Wawrzonek said. “Then we have 100 of the really fun and innovative blends.”

Those tea blends include banana cream, butter cream and snow monkey.

Wawrzonek, who grew up drinking tea, developed her knowledge of the blends and premium teas during a five-year course to become a certified tea specialist at the Manhattanbased Specialty Tea Institute.

Wawrzonek also took the time to visit the places where many of the teas that she sells are grown.

“I got the opportunity to visit India, Sri Lanka, China, Taiwan and Japan to really study tea in depth,” Wawrzonek said.

After retiring from her previous job as a merchant marine, Wawrzonek decided to open the Clipper Ship Tea Company and turn her passion into a profession.

In addition to the 200 loose leaf teas that currently line the wall at the Clipper Ship Tea Company’s

new location, the shop also offers a variety of sleep and decaf teas, teapots, tea mugs, infusers and a selection of both local and international honey.

Wawrzonek said that the tea shop will begin offering both hot and iced teas “to go” after the official grand opening. She said plans are also in the works to set up an outdoor patio in the rear of the shop.

The move to Huntington is not the first time that tea lovers have seen Clipper Ship teas in town. The company’s teas are also available at Southdown Coffee, Hatch and the Book Revue Café.

“We are excited to be here and we like the really strong foundation there is here in Huntington for local and independent small businesses,” Wawrzonek said. “We’re ready to start our second chapter.”
