Buzz Lines: Gere-ing Up for the Future by Michael Portantiere
posted at 9/27/2001 02:27:03 PM by James Marino | Item Link



Calling all anthem singers! Local sports teams are interested in having Broadway talent sing anthems and the now oft adopted "God Bless America" before their games. In some cases, some teams, like the NY Islanders, will let performers do a number in-between periods. So we are looking for people who have done the anthem before, who are available (this would take out many working currently, although there are Sunday and Monday games). If you are or have been a member of a Broadway cast, please contact Paige Price or email us at [email protected]. We will pass your info onto the appropriate people. Also, if you could pass on this information to those performers who may not read this website we would appreciate it. Thanks.

B'WAY UNION TURNS OFF 'THE MUSIC MAN' By MICHAEL RIEDEL
BROADWAY'S most powerful union has told the "The Music Man" to take a hike. The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), which last week granted 25 percent across-the-board salary cuts to six struggling Broadway musicals, has decided not to do the same for the revival of Meredith Willson's classic show about a traveling salesman.
