Have any plans tonight?

Now you do! If you live in New York City, tonight is PACKED with musical theatre goodness that is begging to be seen.

• You've got John Znidarsic's Songbook Concert Series at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center at 6:00 p.m., which will be featuring the music of Beth Falcone.

• There's Are You Working on Something New? at Don't Tell Mama at 7 p.m., which will feature music from Gary Apple, Adam David Cohen, Mark T. Evans, Patrick Gallagher, William TN Hall, Jake Honoroff, Timothy Huang, Dave Hudson, Eric Kubo, Emmy Laybourne, Paul Libman, Jim Merritt, Andy Roninson and Katya Stanislavskaya.

• Check out the songs of Mishaela Faucher in her show Blame It On The Booze at NYTB D-Lounge at 7:30 p.m.

• Make your way to the Canal Room for an awesome double header. Kerrigan and Lowdermilk open with a set at 7:30 as a part of their their You Made This Tour, to be followed by a concert from NewMusicalTheatre.com writers, including songs by Michael Friedman, Gaby Alter, Sam Carner & Derek Gregor, Bobby Cronin, Drew Gasparini, Jonathan Reid Gealt, Paul Gordon, Michael Kooman & Christopher Dimond, Joshua Salzman & Ryan Cunningham, Jeff Thomson & Jordan Mann, and Will Van Dyke at 8:30 p.m.

• And to top off your night, Joe Iconis' Things to Ruin will be back and badder than ever at (Le) Poisson Rouge, kicking off their latest 4 performance run at 10:00 p.m. (...and more on my excitement for this later!)

So what are you doing? Get out there and enjoy some new musical works!

I will lead them home...

I am starting to get really antsy counting down the days to Rated RSO at Joe's Pub on Monday. So, still high off of Eric Michael Krop's angelic voice from last night's concert of Bunked!, I am holding my sanity together by watching the new videos Ryan Scott Oliver uploaded to his youtube channel. The one I'm particularly obsessed with at the moment is Eric singing "Odyssey," not only a gorgeous piece (especially when the ensemble kicks in), but also an incredibly visionary journey enhanced by RSO's unique musical styling.



Both the 7:30 and 9:30 shows for Rated RSO on Monday are already sold out, but if you don't have tickets, I also highly reccommend getting over your sorrows by checking out my other favorite composer Joe Iconis playing his amazing tunes and -- hopefully -- providing some charmingly awkward banter in between (for free!) at the New York Public Library at 6 as a part of John Znidarsic’s Songbook Series. Joe Iconis and Ryan Scott Oliver in one day? Don't say I never gave you nothin', because an opportunity like this, in my opinion, is pure musical theatre gold.
