IU grad plays lead role in Indianapolis

By Alyson Brodsy and Lee Ann Chan · Thursday, April 4,2002 10:36 p.m.

Who wouldn't enjoy a play that talks about a boy meeting a girl, falling in love with her and wanting to marry her? "Anything Goes" is the new version of Hoosier native Cole Porter's Broadway extravaganza, which won the 1988 Tony Award for Best Revival. "The musical is very exciting, and we've wanted to do it for a long time," said Ulrike Steinert, the director of marketing at the Indianapolis Civic Theatre.

Special 'Lucia' to close season

By Gabriel Lewin · Thursday, April 4,2002 10:35 p.m.

To close out the 2001-2002 IU Opera Theater season, the IU School of Music will present a special production of Donizetti's tragic opera "Lucia di Lammermoor," opening 8 p.m. Friday at the Musical Arts Center. Beyond the fact that "Lucia" is considered one of the great operatic master works of all time, or that it is Donizetti's own personal masterwork of Bel Canto dramatic opera, it will be a rare occasion for a new production to be conceived and executed all for and at IU.

IU music students \'go for Baroque\'

By Alyson Brodsy and Elise LeBlanc · Thursday, April 4,2002 12:51 a.m.

A woman with a slight frame and striking similarity to the host of "Trading Spaces" stands at the center stage of Auer Hall, surrounded by a semi-circle of students playing odd-looking instruments. She clasps and unclasps her hands while their musical notes slide and poke at the space around her, about to signal her to start singing. When her cue arrives, she unleashes a handsome, mellifluous voice for a song that demands an impressive vocal range.

McCartney fans buy his love in new U.S. tour

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, April 2,2002 11:28 p.m.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Paul McCartney has nothing left to prove. He's a Beatle. He's a knight. He's an honorary American. He's been everywhere, done everything. But in Oakland Monday night, he showed up simply "to rock and roll." And after a two-and-a-half-hour-long feast for the eyes and ears, McCartney had done his job. He left a sell-out crowd of 15,000 satisfied.

By Kathryn Buck · Tuesday, March 26,2002 11:07 p.m.

Many children dream of becoming ballerinas as they dance in front of their bedroom mirrors in pink tutus and ballet slippers.

Oscars: disappointment or not?

By Jack M. Silverstein · Tuesday, March 26,2002 2:55 a.m.

Back-to-back Russell Crowe movies named Best Picture? Are you kidding me? As usual, I'm pretty disappointed with the Best Picture winner, but that's the way it goes. Ron Howard's win and Ben Kingsley's loss were also annoying, and Whoopi -- while more tasteful than her last hosting duty in 1999 -- was not as funny Billy Crystal or Steve Martin. But this year's ceremony was not all bad. The Cirque du Soleil performance alone was worth tuning in for, as was the appearance of Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller. In fact, Sunday night's show featured many pleasant surprises and memorable moments, and so, here were my favorites.

As people gathered in the Education Gallery of the John Waldron Arts Center Friday for an exhibition of student photography, junior Kim Davis was somewhere getting her head shaved.

Her hair will be used to make wigs for those who have lost their own hair through chemotherapy.

Rock and Roll inducts members

By Nekesa Mumbi Moody · Tuesday, March 19,2002 11:47 p.m.

NEW YORK -- They represented the anti-establishment, so it was a bit odd to see the Ramones so happy to become part of the music establishment as members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. But for the remaining members of the punk rock originators -- whose lead singer, Joey Ramone, died last year -- Monday night's induction at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel represented long-overdue respect for the band that helped revolutionize rock with their rapid-fire, guitar-heavy songs.
