your youth for so long. I’ll support whatever you want to do.’ She’s helped a lot with that,” she said. Under the direction and choreography of two-time Emmy nominee Fred Tallaksen, “Phineas and Ferb: The Best Live Tour Ever!” features musical productions, slapstick comedy, classic and contemporary movement, tumbling and stunts. It starts with all the characters literally sliding out of the cartoon and onto the stage, with sets and costumes that invoke the TV show’s candy-colored world. Ahlert had seen a few episodes of “Phineas and Ferb” before she was cast but since has watched many others to get a feel for how Candace moves and behaves. She admitted that sometimes the transition from cartoon to live action can be tricky. Candace “makes the most awkward poses and movements that are sometimes humanly impossible, and just trying to look at myself in the mirror that I look the same way she does was a little hard at first, because you naturally don’t stand the way that she does as a normal person,” she said. One thing that “Phineas and Ferb” fans love is that nearly every episode features an original song, ranging in style from 16th-century madrigals and country twang to Broadway show tunes and surf-rock. Fourteen of the most popular are in the live show, including “Squirrels in My Pants,”“Gitchee Gitchee Goo,” “Backyard Beach,” “TruckDriving Boy” and “Disco Golfing King.” Creators Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh also penned an all-new tune called “We’re Gonna Put on a Show.” The musical numbers offer plenty of opportunity for audience interaction. Kids are encouraged to sing
or dance along, and sometimes there are bigger surprises. During “Disco Golfing King,” for instance, huge inflatable golf balls are released into audience to bounce around. (Those who show up 15 minutes before showtime Friday can learn the “Platypus Walk” and answer trivia questions about the TV show.) One of the joys of being Candace, Ahlert said, is the reaction to her role and costume from the tweens who love the show. “It’s the sweetest thing in the whole world. When you see their faces as soon as you come onstage, it makes the whole show for you,” she said. “The more they scream and the more that they sing along and dance along, the better the show is. We all feed off their energy.”

Swift shocked by album sales

LONDON — Taylor Swift says the response to her latest album, “Red,” has been “unbelievable.” “I had hoped that my fans would get what I was doing there — that they would embrace it. And the fact that they celebrated that and 1.2 million of them went out and bought it the first week and it became my first U.K. No. 1 album, it is absolutely unbelievable.”

otherwise so difficult to express.” Bruce Borton, director of the Binghamton University Chorus, said it’s always a thrill to perform the requiem and called Verdi “probably the supreme vocal writer of the 19th century.”
“He writes with such an understanding of the voice and what makes music dramatic — the drama of the piece picks up all these colorful allusions that are in the text, especially in the ‘Dies irae’ section, and brings them to life as he does with his operas,” Borton said. “From a choral singer’s standpoint, though, it’s not an opera because the chorus is front and center
in the piece, and that’s never the case in an opera.” About 140 singers from the chorus will take part in Sunday’s performance at BU’s Anderson Center — a dozen or so more than its usual complement, but Borton recruited extra voices knowing that the “Requiem” performance was on the schedule. One-third of the chorus is students (many of them
majoring in something other than music), half is community singers and the rest are BU faculty members and staff. A few have been in there since the chorus’ founding in 1971, and others have been there for 20-plus years — but vocalists from all levels of experience are welcomed to audition. “The thing I love the most about the university chorus is the diversity of ages, musical talent and musical experience in the group,” said Borton, who has been a BU professor since 1988. “Some of our community singers and faculty singers have been in choruses since they were in high school, so 30 or 40 years of choral singing behind them. Some of them have sung this piece two or three times before. There are also many students who have come from very good high school programs with some really good training. “And there are some other kids who are joining a chorus for the very first time in their lives and have never had this experience before, so the older and more experienced people bring to the rehearsals and the performances a level of understanding about choral singing and this piece that helps the younger, less experienced singers.” The philharmonic and the chorus have a good working relationship and collaborate every few years, with recent concerts including Johannes Brahms’ “Schiksalslied,” Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Symphony No. 9,” Brahms’ “Requiem,” Leonard Bernstein’s “Chichester Psalms” and the rarely performed “Prayers of Kierkegaard” by Samuel Barber. “I’m proud that we have people like Bruce Borton in town working at the university, doing an excellent job training the choruses and getting them in shape by the time they join forces with the philharmonic,” said Novo, who is rehearsing with the singers and the full orchestra this week. “I would not be able to do that all on my own. We’re lucky

that someone like him, who has pretty much dedicated his whole career to Binghamton and cultivated a love for choral music.” Performing as soloists for the requiem Sunday will be Janice Chandler Eteme (soprano), Stacey Rishoi (mezzo-soprano), Marco Panuccio (tenor) and Gustav Andreassen (bass). Novo worked closely with Rishoi and Andreassen when they starred in the first opera he conducted — Bedrich Smetana’s “The Bartered Bride” — as assistant conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, and he knows Panuccio and Eteme through his time in Cincinnati, too. “I hand-picked all the soloists for this piece, because that is one of the most important things. If you don’t have a competent quartet of soloists, it’s a very difficult piece to put together,” Novo said. “That’s why we have invested so much effort and energy to make the best possible vocal quartet that we could get.” Although Hurricane Sandy disrupted final rehearsals last week, Borton believes his singers are ready for the concert: “I’m very excited about it. The chorus sounds terrific and I’m really looking forward to it.”

drink, I smoke in real life. It’s real scotch — I know everybody wonders. I theoretically take my first drink of the day onstage with me, and I light my first cigar when I go onstage, so that’s my little ritual. I’ll be backstage and light a cigar and pour a really nice glass of scotch and turn up some loud rock ‘n’ roll, then go out and do my thing.” If it seems like White is living out his dream — nice house, private jet, TV specials, millions of CDs and DVDs sold, laughter from crowds night after night — that’s because he is. Learning disabilities kept him from graduating high school (“it turns out I’m smart — you just can’t prove it on paper”) and he did a stint in the Navy, but he always had his eye on comedy. For 16 years, he paid his dues by driving his beat-up Nissan pickup truck to small clubs; he didn’t make much money but was “having a blast” doing it. While opening for comedian Jeff Foxworthy (of “you might be a redneck …” fame), White hit the big time when he and Foxworthy joined with Larry the Cable Guy and Bill Engvall for the Blue Collar Comedy Tour in 2000. Three popular concert films and two quadrupleplatinum albums — a feat unheard of in the comedy world — led to Blue Collar shows for up to 20,000 people each during the troupe’s farewell dates in 2006. “What made me a famous comic was all those DVDs floating around and people showing them to each other, because it was a great show,” White said. “All of a sudden — overnight, it seemed — I was a household name.” In September, White followed the lead of Louis C.K., Jim Gaffigan and Aziz Ansari by releasing his latest comedy special, “A Little Unprofessional,” online. More dedicated followers can upgrade to his “Rontourage” fan club (complete
with a “Plastered Card”), a pre-show meet-and-greet or a chance to ride on his jet. “I just wanted to see if I could cut out all the middlemen and offer the thing to my fans at a good price, so it’s $5 for an 80-minute special that probably took me 2½ years to write one joke at a time — so it’s a lot of work,” White said. “I don’t think my base audience is as computer savvy as Louis C.K.’s is, but it still does fine, and then we’re going to offer a hard copy in November at Walmart, but I don’t price that one.” Despite calling the online experiment a success, White doesn’t think he’ll do it again. In fact, “I don’t think I’ll ever release anything else. I’m a (Bill) Cosby fan, but I wouldn’t buy his last album — I wouldn’t, I’d just go see him live.”

White brings ‘Unprofessional’ humor to Elmira By Chris Kocher ckocher@gannett.com
Sure, they hail from vastly different eras of American humor — but it’s not difficult to imagine Mark Twain and Ron White sharing a box of cigars and a bottle of scotch, swapping wry observations about human foibles punctuated by colorful language not printable in a family newspaper. There’s no question that Twain would agree wholeheartedly with White’s most famous quip: “You can’t fix stupid.” So it seems somehow appropriate that White will visit Elmira on Friday night to perform at the Clemens
Center, a theater named for one of the city’s favorite adopted sons. In an interview last month, the Texas-born comedian said that, coincidentally, he’d been watching footage of Twain online earlier that day and learning about the author’s life. White sees the revered icon and his travels around the world as an antecedent to his own line of work. “It was called a ‘speaker’s series,’ but he did straight standup,” he said. “I’m a big fan. (My wife and I) have his autobiography, which is really a reference book. It’s huge — it’s 4 inches thick — and a lot of it are analogies and commentaries, but when you get down to the

meat of it, it’s about everything he’s written also. … “In one of the things we were reading, he was talking about other guys who didn’t do the prep work. He’d go to a town and get ready for these big things, which is just what we do, and you can tell when someone’s got their chops or doesn’t have their chops. He was talking about that 130 or 140 years ago.”
White — at age 55 — may seem like an outsized persona onstage, a tough character nicknamed “Tater Salad” whose quick and earthy wit has gained him millions of fans worldwide. But like Twain, he’s built a career from basically playing himself and letting the chips fall where they may. “It’s 100 percent me. That was always my goal in comedy — once I figured it out,

Concert inspired by Elvis’ gospel music By Chris Kocher ckocher@gannett.com
Elvis Presley is universally hailed as the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll — and rightly so — but his heart always gravitated toward gospel music. The old hymns reminded him of his childhood in Mississippi and his faith in God, and those comforted him through troubled times. He would push to perform them at every opportunity, whether it was “The Ed Sullivan Show” or a Las Vegas revue. Despite Presley’s deep love (and only Grammy Awards) for gospel, few Elvis impersonators or tribute shows focus on that part of his career. In fact, Jack Nelson may be the only one doing so professionally. But don’t expect a hip-shakin’ caricature in a sequined jumpsuit and pasted-on sideburns. “Most of the guys who do Elvis do it for a sexy reason,” Nelson said last month. “They want to wow the women, but you can’t do that if you’re doing a gospel show. It’s not tasteful. So my shows are always familyoriented and shows the side

of Elvis he most preferred.” Friday night, the Endicott musician will bring together four acts for the Jack Nelson & Friends Homecoming Concert at the First Assembly of God in Binghamton: himself singing Presley’s gospel favorites as well as the four-part harmonies of the Southern gospel group Soul Purpose Quartet, 1950sstyle gospel singer John “Legs” Lawrenzi and special guest John “Yanni” Koutsaris. During his early years in Harriman, Tenn., Nelson heard plenty of records from Presley and Ricky Nelson thanks to his seven sisters. He used to take his dogs back into the woods behind his home and sing gospel music to himself. Then, he said, “we were taking a family trip one time — we lived in Tennessee and were driving to Indiana. ... I told my mother, ‘Ma, I think I can sing a song.’ I was pretty scared and my voice was trembling, but I made it through a verse and she said, ‘Son, you have a beautiful voice.’” He also received an early boost from Ed Parton, pastor at the Harriman Tabernacle and cousin to country star Dolly Parton. “He would sometimes trick me into coming up to sing,” Nelson said. “He’d say, ‘My cousin’s famous, you all know that, but I kinda like this little fella.’ ” As he hit puberty and his voice began to change, Nelson developed a striking similarity to Presley’s unmistakable tones. While serving with the U.S. Army Military Police Corps after high school, he spent eight years both stateside and in Germany (where he met his wife, Iris). He’d sing for fellow soldiers at NCO clubs. After the Army, he earned theology degrees

and also worked for the U.S. Postal Service, doing ministry on the side. It wasn’t until 1995 that Nelson made his first professional album. He’d wanted merely to make a tape for his mother, but the Nashville studio where he recorded was owned by a top gospel artists who wanted to release the project on Morningstar Records. The first three songs hit the Top 80 in gospel charts in a matter of weeks with little promotion. “People would call into DJs and say, ‘Spin that last Elvis record,’ and they’d say, ‘That’s not Elvis — that’s Jack Nelson,’” he said. The “late bloomer” made up for lost time by recording several other albums since, including a 20-track tribute to Presley’s gospel output. He’s also performed with some of the King’s old collaborators, such as Donnie Sumner, a background singer and close friend of Presley who joined him for a 2000 performance at the Forum in Binghamton. Now retired from his postal job, Nelson is booking Elvis gospel tribute shows for 2013 and planning an event he calls Gospel Fest USA that will bring together all genres of gospel music in Lancaster, Pa., next year. He hopes Friday’s free concert is the start of something big. “It’s a way to entertain people but at the same time get the gospel message across,” Nelson said.

The Endicott Performing Arts Center Repertory Company will present the Tony Award-winning
Broadway show “Fiddler On The Roof” at the EPAC Theater starting Friday. “Fiddler” takes place “in the little village of Anatevka” where Tevye, a poor dairyman, tries to instill in his five daughters the traditions of his tight-knit Jewish community in the face of changing social mores and the anti-Semitism of Czarist Russia. Rich in historical and ethnic detail, “Fiddler On The Roof” has touched audiences around the world with its humor, warmth and honesty. The show is led by EPAC artistic director Patrick Foti with musical direction by Maureen Helms. A seven-piece orchestra will accompany more than 30 performers. “It’s great to have Lou Ligouri and Paula Bacorn back to reprise the roles of Tevye and his wife Golde,” Foti said. “It’s a timeless musical celebrating life and all its joys and trials and a perfect show for the entire family.” Performances are 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday, and 8 p.m. Nov. 16 and 17 and 3 p.m. Nov. 18 at 102 Washington Ave. in Endicott.

As guitarist and songwriter, Rodgers grateful for the Dead By Chris Kocher ckocher@gannett.com
After more than two decades of interviewing and writing about musicians, Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers has some bad news and some good news. The bad news first: There is no one secret for
becoming a great singer/ songwriter, no one trick that can turn a pile of random ideas into a finished tune. Now the good news: Any number of pathways can lead to that destination, and musicians just need to find out what techniques work best for them.
The Syracuse-area resident got to talk with some of the biggest names in the business as the founding editor of Acoustic Guitar magazine; today, he serves as the publication’s contributing editor and covers music for NPR’s “All Things Considered,” as well as teaching songwriting at
Syracuse University. With his own music, his song “Fly” recently won the grand prize in the prestigious John Lennon Songwriting Contest. “What I do as a journalist and what I do as a musician — things have been tied together for me for so many years, I can’t really pull them apart at this point,” Rodgers said in an interview last week. “My background as a musician is why, when I go into interviews, I ask very different questions than they normally will hear, because I’m looking at it from a musician’s point of view rather than a critic’s point of view. When I write music and holding a guitar on the other side, I definitely wouldn’t be writing and playing the music that I play if I hadn’t spent all these years in the company of all these great artists.” On Saturday night, he’ll perform with his trio as part of the Songwriter Showcase at Cyber Café West in Binghamton, and earlier in the day he’ll conduct a workshop there on one of his seminal influences: the Grateful Dead. Growing up, Rodgers loved acoustic tunes from artists such as James Taylor, Neil Young and Simon & Garfunkel, but also funkier grooves from Stevie Wonder and Earth, Wind & Fire. In high school, as he and his brother formed a band together, they fell in love with the Dead and saw concerts up and down the East Coast. “I think of it as part of my DNA in terms of how I think about guitar and songwriting,” Rodgers said. “They tapped into so many great roots artists of all kinds, from blues to mountain music, so over the years you follow the trail from the Dead’s music to a lot of things that inspired them.” Later, writing for Acoustic Guitar, he scored indepth interviews with Dead legends Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir, discussing the writing and recording some

of their most famous tunes. More recently, he released an EP of acoustically arranged tunes called “Dead to the Core” as well as an instructional DVD so others can learn them, too. The workshops — ideally six to 12 students — allows musicians of various skill levels a couple of hours to go through some Grateful Dead songs, jam a bit and share their common interest in the San Francisco legends.

GOOD TIMES
The Binghamton JCC will hold its annual fundraising event Saturday featuring an original onewoman show by local ac-
tress Heidi Weeks. This special performance will be the highlight of the evening that will also include cocktails, light dinner, music and dancing. Weeks created her script for “Cholent” by “mixing up a batch of monologues and scenes from some of my favorite plays by Jewish playwrights ... along with a bit of Heidi Weeks.” Weeks moved back to the Binghamton area after living and working for 15 years as a professional actor in both theatre and television in Toronto. She studied at The Neighborhood Playhouse School of Theatre in New York City and has performed in theater across Canada as well as in both New York City and Los Angeles. Aside from performing with many of the local theaters, Weeks is co-founder of Southern Tier Actor’s Read (S.T.A.R.). All proceeds will benefit families in Greater Binghamton in need of scholarship assistance for daycare, day camp and preschool as well as general support for youth recreation leagues and physical education programming. The event is open to the public and begins at 7:30 p.m. at 500 Clubhouse Road in Vestal. Tickets are $65 per person.

Binghamton Zoo has successful summer season As the 2012 season winds down, the Binghamton Zoo at Ross Park enjoyed a summer full of exciting new additions, fun special events and tons of family fun. The highlight of the summer was the addition of two female Amur tigers. The 3-year-old sisters, Koosaka and Terney, were welcomed in Binghamton at the end of August. The pair comes to us from ZooMontana, located in Billings, Mont. The big
cats have adapted well, and are enjoying their newly updated enclosure, thanks to Madugno Masonry Inc. Also joining us this summer were two bobcats. Flapjack and Pancake came to us from the Brit Spaugh Zoo in Great Bend, Kan. They are an extremely charismatic pair who are doing very well on exhibit. This summer featured a
very successful special events schedule at the Binghamton Zoo. More than 4,000 guests visited the zoo during our events alone. Great weather helped the success of our popular annual events, including Ice Cream Safari (July), Feast with the Beasts (August), Zoo Brew (September), and Boo at the Zoo (October). This year also saw the premiere of Pirates
of Torzooga and Animal Olympics, two new events at the zoo. Planning for next year’s events is already under way. While our regular operating schedule comes to a close for the year, the Binghamton Zoo staff remains busy. Holiday events are being considered and organized. Plans are being made for the 2013 season. But most importantly, the keeping staff continues to care for the animals throughout
the winter. Visitors often ask, “Where do the animals go in the cold weather?” In fact, most animals are able to withstand the chilly Binghamton weather but are always given access to indoor facilities. Those animals, such as our African penguins who, ironically, cannot withstand such a cold climate, are kept nice and warm inside. No matter the weather, be sure to look for upcoming events and programs from the Binghamton Zoo at Ross Park. We appreciate all the continuing support from our community. As we continue to offer new programs, events, and activities at the zoo, we invite you keep up to date with all of this information on our website. All events and program information can be found online at www.rossparkzoo.com. You can also find us on several social media sites, including Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and Google+.

Spouse already has cheated, will do it again Dear Annie: I have been married to my husband for only one month, and he already has had a brief fling with a woman from his office. This caught me completely off guard. I thought we were happy, and I am pretty sure my husband enjoys being married to me. He always says I am much more than he deserves. I have repeatedly asked him why he would cheat on me. He says he needs more sex with different females to be satisfied. What should I do? — New Bride

Annie’s Mailbox in the future. Unless this is your idea of a good marriage, we don’t see much hope. Get checked for sexually transmitted diseases, and then see a counselor and figure out your next move. Dear Annie: I am in my mid-20s, married with children. My mother lives with us. In fact, I’ve never lived without her, and now I want my family to have a place of our own. Having Mom here has been good because it helps cut expenses and she watches our kids. I love her so much, and she is my best friend, but I am really ready to do everything on my own. When I asked my mother about getting a
separate place, it really hurt her. She cried because she wouldn’t be with her grandchildren every day. She was so upset that I gave in and said maybe we should just get a bigger house. Annie, I don’t want a bigger house. I want a small place with just my husband and children. How can I get Mom to understand? — Lost in Mother’s Feelings
Dear Lost: You don’t need Mom to understand. You are a married woman with a family. You are entitled to have a place of your own. Discuss this with your husband and form a united front. Then tell your mother that this is what you are going to do, you love her and she is welcome to visit.
Dear Annie: This is in response to “Trying To Avoid a Christmas Circus this Year,” whose mother has been giving unequal gifts to the grandchildren. I have six grandchildren who receive different monetary gifts, and it has nothing to do with favoritism or need. I love them all equally, and their parents are well off. However, three of them are appreciative and send me thank-you notes. The other three wouldn’t know a thank-you note from a grocery list. I finally decided that I would give everyone presents and try to form relationships with all the grandkids, but would no longer serve as an ATM for the ungrateful ones. — Texas
HOROSCOPE By HOLIDAY MATHIS Creators Syndicate
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Random scattered efforts can at times be magically effective, but not now. The result you desire is best attained with a methodical approach. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Don’t believe what you hear about other people. You’ll keep friends if you steer clear of gossip and make up your own mind about people. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Doing something correctly once is not enough to constitute success. Truly successful actions can be repeated. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re a kind of social director now, so create social scenarios in which you can shine. The friends you invite to experience your brand of fun will become enamored of you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Is good enough really good enough? In certain jobs, you feel that you must go beyond the expectation for your efforts to really count. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It is far easier for you to accept others as imperfect than to accept yourself as a work in progress. Keep in mind that you bond with your
fellow man through your vulnerabilities, not through your strengths. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Selfconfidence takes time. You may feel that there is some area of your life in which you are underperforming. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There will be a bit of inner turmoil to contend with, so anything you can do to bring a sense of calm to your inner world will be extremely helpful. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are in such a laid-back mood that others feel instantly relaxed when they are around you. Suddenly they can be themselves without judgment or worry. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). To be human is to sometimes fear that you’re not going to be good enough to handle the task at hand. The jolt helps. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are fully aware that what works for you won’t work for everyone. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will be praised for your talent and skill. As wonderful as this is, it’s not why you do what you do. The personal satisfaction you get from doing your best is your motivation.

Harpur Cinema film series features Peter Rose Peter Rose is Tuesday’s visiting artist for the Harpur Cinema Department’s fall visiting film and video artists series at Binghamton University. Since 1968, Rose has made more than 30 films, tapes, performances and installations. Many of the early works raise intriguing questions about the nature of time, space, light and perception and draw upon Rose’s background in the mathematics and on the influence of structuralist filmmakers. He subsequently became interested in language and made works that played with concrete texts, political satire, oddball performance, and a kind of intellectual comedy. Rose has been widely exhibited, both nationally and internationally, having been included in shows at the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Biennial, the Centre Pompidou, and many others. He has been awarded fellowships by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Guggenheim Foundation, the Pew Foundation. Tuesday’s program will include: » “Secondary Currents” (1982) — 16 mm, B&W, sound. » “Metalogue” (1996) — 3 minutes. » “The man who could not see far enough” (1981) — 33 minutes, 16mm, color, sound. » “The Pressures of the Text” (1983) — 17 minutes, video, color, sound. » “Odysseus in Ithaca” (2006) — 5 minutes, video. » “The Indeserian Tablets — (2011) 16:20 minutes, two-channel video installation. The program begins at 7:30 p.m. in Lecture Hall 6 on the Binghamton University campus. It is free and open to the public. For more information, e-mail Nancy Wlostowski at nwlostow@binghamton.edu.

Novo, said with a laugh last week. Verdi wrote the requiem in memory of Italian poet and novelist Alessandro Manzoni, and it was first performed one year after Manzoni’s death in 1874. Over its 90-minute length, the religiously ambivalent composer adapted the musical setting of the Roman Catholic funeral mass into a meditation on life, death, redemption and faith. “What helps to make this piece so powerful is that
Verdi wrote it inspired by the death of a person he admired so much, so it is very heartfelt — and I think that is very evident in the music,” Novo said. “When you are in the middle of a performance, it is so easy to relate to what one person has gone through losing a loved one or a family member, because it is so real. This is how music can serve so well to express emotions that See VERDI, Page 36

2013 marks the bicentennial of Giuseppe Verdi’s birth, and for that august anniversary, symphonies and opera houses around the world are preparing their tributes to the revered Italian composer. On Sunday, the Binghamton Philharmonic begins the celebration a bit early by teaming up with the Binghamton University Chorus and four vocal soloists for one of Verdi’s masterpieces, the “Messa da Requiem.” “We wanted to beat everyone by performing this the year before, so that by the time everyone is tired of listening again to Verdi’s ‘Requiem,’ we have beat the crowd!” the philharmonic’s music director, José-Luis

Although the increasingly shorter days of late autumn are upon us, it’s forever summer in the world of stepbrothers Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher — and that means the boys have yet another chance to use their wild imaginations to make that day the best ever. Millions of children worldwide have enjoyed the animated exploits of Disney’s Emmy Awardwinning “Phineas and Ferb” since the TV show’s debut in 2007 (as have their parents, thanks to rapid-fire pop-culture reference aimed at an adult audience), so taking the act on the road makes perfect sense. “Phineas and Ferb: The Best Live Tour Ever!” stops at the Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena for two shows Friday. Along for the ride are the eponymous boys and their merry gang of TriState Area misfits: bossy sister Candace, pet platypus (and secret agent) Perry, sinister scientist Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, Candace’s would-be boyfriend Jeremy, “Mexican Jewish” neighbor Isabella and all the rest. Demi Ahlert — who plays Candace in the live show — said that role is an interesting one, because Candace is always trying to get her brothers into trouble for their outlandish schemes but still loves them. “At the same time that she wants to bust her brothers, to be a momma bear and protect them, she wants to have fun with
As in the “Phineas and Ferb” television series, one of the subplots of the live show is the battle between Perry the platypus (“Agent P”) and the evil Dr. Doofenshmirtz. PHOTO PROVIDED

them as well,” Ahlert said in an interview from the road last week. “She is so in love with Jeremy that it’s not even OK – it’s more of an obsession. Every day, I never get bored.” The Orlando, Fla., actress has been onstage since age 3, and show business is in her DNA. “My mom was a performer her whole life, since she was that age, so as soon as I was born, it was like, ‘OK, let’s see what you can
do, Demi!’” Ahlert said with a laugh. “I started dance classes, and up until about my sixth-grade year in middle school, I just danced — tap, modern, ballet, everything. Then I started doing musical theater, singing and doing musicals on top of all my dance classes.” After working as a performer at Disneyworld for her last couple of years in high school, Ahlert won the role in the “Phineas and Ferb” tour after graduating
