IU hopelessly devoted to 'Grease'

By Evan Diamond · Wednesday, Oct. 2,2002 1:28 a.m.

"We go together like rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong…" These recognizable lyrics are from the third longest running show on broadway which opens tonight at the IU Auditorium. "Grease," written by Warren Casey and Jim Jacobs, is the story of Danny Zuko, king of the Burger Palace Boys and Sandy Dumbrowski, the wholesome, naïve, pretty transfer student whose life changes after meeting Rizzo, the tough yet vulnerable leader of the Pink Ladies gang.

Baker's jazz ensemble pleases crowd

By Alyson Brodsy and Brandon Morley · Wednesday, Oct. 2,2002 12:31 a.m.

Director David Baker and his jazz ensemble opened with its first concert of the 2002-03 season to a crowd of over 200 Monday night at the Musical Arts Center. The event was free and open to the public. A noticeable number of the jazz lovers in the audience were today's senior citizens who danced to jazz when it first became widespread the way they did to Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey of the swing era. But the main crowd appeared to be IU students out to enjoy a free evening's entertainment.

Where kids pull the strings

By Lindsay Baron · Tuesday, Oct. 1,2002 1:49 a.m.

The sound of trumpets, cellos and children's voices trickles through Borders Bookstore. Following the noise, one arrives at the store's southwest corner, where a group of parents and kids sit on planet, star and sun-speckled semi-circular steps. Amy Benson, John Richardson and Cheryl Schuster, Bloomington Symphony Orchestra violinists and the objects of the group's enchantment, sit at the bottom.

'Don Giovanni' operatic delight

By Alyson Brodsy and Adam Sedia · Monday, Sept. 30,2002 1:13 a.m.

After months of anticipation and weeks of strenuous rehearsal, Mozart's world-renowned opera "Don Giovanni" had its opening performance at the Musical Arts Center this past Friday. Mozart set his music to the somewhat bawdy libretto written by Lorenzo da Ponte and first performed it in Prague in 1787. It tells the story of a character to whom many college students can relate.

Jazz duo heats up Malibu Grill

By Johnathon Sanders · Monday, Sept. 30,2002 12:45 a.m.

With the clouds hanging low over Bloomington and a steady drizzle keeping all but the most industrious people indoors, the music coming from inside the Malibu Grill Thursday was quite enticing. Piano and bass duo Paul Johnston and Steve Johnson entertained a small but loyal audience of jazz enthusiasts. Oh, and they managed to impress this lone music reviewer to boot. The duo spent the evening playing a mixture of both popular and lesser known jazz arrangements, keeping the music interesting through the entire set. Paul Johnston's flowing piano really got the people to listen, while Steve Johnson's jazz bass kept the groove in overdrive. The result was an enjoyable combination of good old-fashioned upbeat lounge jazz with a solid taste of soul to round out the mix.

It usually brings in about $20,000 and is split equally between the two.

'I Hate Hamlet' debuts

By John DeBoer · Friday, Sept. 27,2002 1:24 a.m.

John Barrymore is often remembered not only as being one of the greatest actors of the Golden Age of Hollywood, but also as one of the most tragic. His career started with such classics as Grand Hotel, Dinner at Eight, and the silent version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. However towards the end of his life, the films he starred in floundered in quality and his career began to unravel. He died at the age of sixty leaving behind one fascinating piece of unfinished business.

The musicians, whose careers span seven decades, also charged Tuesday that the recording industry systematically underreported sales to reduce royalty payments.

Musician, songwriter turns emotion into reality on stage

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Sept. 26,2002 1:07 a.m.

I was a few minutes early when I flung my buzz-bomb of a Buick nicknamed "The Red Hornet" around the corner of Third St. and South Washington St. I quickly found myself in my favorite secret parking place used when visiting the Bloomington Playwrights Project. I was attending an opening night reception that started at 7:30 p.m. to kick off the Cabaret Nouveau Series. The show "Slightly Deranged: A Thinking Woman's Tour D'Vorce," was written and composed by Bloomington local Krista Detor.
