PHOTOGRAPH BY EMMA SUMMERTON; STYLED BY NATASHA ROYT. Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night is so often staged, I brought with me to Central Park, to the refurbished Delacorte Theater, the memory of prior productions of this comedy, fixating on one hilarious wardrobe detail. I couldn’t wait for Malvolio in his yellow socks, the accessory he thinks will…

Perhaps with a nod to her legendary father, the great Ravi Shankar, pop music superstar Norah Jones, attired in an India-inspired sequined tiger on her green jacket, performed on Long Island’s East End to benefit the Montauk Lighthouse. You cannot beat this yearly event, especially for bringing together a warm community, contributing to the Montauk…

The Gotham Awards in the fall celebrated excellence in film just as the awards season was heating up. Television awards used to be included in the program. Now, the small screen is having a moment with a ceremony all its own. “Let’s keep the arts alive.” The sublimely arch Parker Posey could not have said…

This year’s Best Supporting Actor Oscar winner Kieran Culkin can banter with the best of them, in this case, the real estate winners and losers of David Mamet’s now classic “Glengarry Glen Ross.” A natural choice to play Richard Roma, Culkin fast talked his way through A REAL PAIN, as the titular “real pain,” and…

Hollywood sent a message at this year’s Oscars. Winning Best Actor for his role in THE BRUTALIST, his second for this prize, Adrien Brody hoped for a healthier, happier, more inclusive world: “Don’t let hate go unchecked.” That’s not a small ask. From his first win for THE PIANIST in 2002, the actor whose mother,…

The fictive White Lotus resort in Thailand, the locus of Mike White’s mega HBO series in its third season, has nothing on the Six Senses wellness retreats in India. Seeing the staff line up to greet guests arriving by boat in episode one recalled entrée into the extraordinarily fabulously fashioned Six Senses Fort Barwara in…

A fashion crowd crammed into the Campbell Bar at Grand Central station this week, to celebrate Consuelo Vanderbilt Costin, covergirl of Vogue Magazine. For most of us, the issue was unreadable, in Czech, but that didn’t matter. Air kissing is universal, after all. So is the greeting, “You look great.” That applied to everyone in…

Old Hollywood likes their leading men handsome and debonair—think Cary Grant, Rock Hudson—but with this year’s Gotham selection of A DIFFERENT MAN for the top prize, Best Feature, a new look grabs at your attention. You have to love an awards season that starts with a celebration of –well, difference. A hit at the New…

Before becoming the pioneering televangelist power couple, Jim Bakker and his enterprising wife Tammy Faye Bakker sold God using puppets out of the back seat of a car, creating an industry and an empire. Religion, as we know, is big business. Limning their rise—and fall– in fame and fortune, the new Elton John musical, Tammy…

The work is detailed and geographic, tonal, you might say, like bop graffiti on brick in a Detroit abandoned building. The artist, McArthur Binions, in fact, comes from Detroit but spent a lot of time in New York meeting Thelonius Monk and Miles Davis, moving on to Chicago where he now lives and works. Artist…

Begging the question: is it too soon to laugh about the pandemic year, 2020, a collection of short plays by masterful playwrights, did just that in a one-nighter at Guild Hall, directed by Bob Balaban. That was July 2021. Now for July 2024, as we ponder where we are in an arguably post-pandemic year, Balaban…
