<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Broadway show <i><a href="http://www.scfta.org/home/Events/EventDetail.aspx?EventID=1575">KINKY BOOTS</a></i> that comes to the Center December 30 – January 11 was inspired by a true story. And the special </span><i style="font-family: Calibri;">KINKY BOOTS</i><span style="font-family: Calibri;">-themed menu at <a href="http://www.patinagroup.com/restaurant.php?restaurants_id=20">Leatherby’s Café Rouge</a> is the inspiration of Executive Chef Ross Pangilinan. You can enjoy this delicious three-course prix fixe designer dinner before any evening performance of </span><i style="font-family: Calibri;">KINKY BOOTS</i><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> in Segerstrom Hall. Leatherby’s Café Rouge is located in the beautiful Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall, an easy walk across the Arts Plaza from the show – even in the most uncomfortable, albeit utterly fashionable, pair of shoes.</span></div>

In fact, to honor the arrival of <i>DR. SEUSS' HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS! THE MUSICAL</i> at Segerstrom Center from December 10 – 14, Leatherby’s Café Rouge in the Center’s Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall has a very special festive three-course prix fixe menu that will turn even the grinchiest Grinch into a pussycat.

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><i>Historic collaboration brings musical theater programs to OC schools. First in a series. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Segerstrom Center for the Arts and Disney Theatrical Group are off and running on an exciting new project, and four OC schools are bound to soon discover there may be something there that wasn’t there before. The <b>Disney Musicals in the Schools</b> program, the result of a $100,000 grant awarded by Disney to Segerstrom Center for the Arts last spring, recently dispatched eight teaching artists to four OC schools, where they will work with educators to produce a 30-minute Disney musical and lay the groundwork for ongoing musical theater programs.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Training began with a flourish in our Studio Performance Space a few weeks ago with three days of intense instruction in which teaching artists were run through the paces of building an elementary school musical from the ground up. Directing, blocking and casting were just some of the elements featured in the sessions, the third day of which brought the actual classroom teachers from the four school sites in to the fray. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The four schools taking part include Eisenhower and Hill Elementary Schools in Garden Grove, Price Elementary in Anaheim and Rea Elementary in Costa Mesa. Teachers were given little time to stand on ceremony. “They had us jump right in,” Rea Elementary 2nd grade teacher Jessica DeLloyd told <i>The OC Register</i>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The 17-week program is free to participating schools and the goal is to bring substantial and meaningful encounters with the arts for students, building confidence and community, which in turn aims to enrich relationships and bolster motivation in academics. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It’s also going to be fun – and once that genie’s out of the bottle, he’s not going back in.

In the story titled “What Mazzie Knows” by Kellow, he writes, “On September 26, 2005, in a one-night staged concert performance to benefit the Actors Fund of America, Marin Mazzie gave the greatest single performance I have experienced in the musical theater.“ For those who remember and are in the musical theater know, Mazzie and her also-star-quality husband Jason Danieley were sensations in the Center’s 2012 – 2013 Cabaret Series. They performed a special Valentine’s Day program. In addition to their performances in Samueli Theater, the celebrated couple conducted a master cla</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">ss for promising young Orange County artists who have their eyes on the Great White Way. </span></div>

Copeland was raised and studied dance in San Pedro. On page 242, she writes, “Before kicking off our season at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, we debuted <i>The Firebird</i> on the road. Our first performances were at Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Orange County, California. It was a homecoming....” The chapter goes on to quote Jean Lenihan’s <i>LA Times</i> blogged review: ”Ratmansky’s revised storyline and forward-backward movement idiom finally emerged clearly with second cast leads Misty Copeland and Herman Cornejo, a hypnotizing pair.... With them, the audience’s standing ovation was absolutely spontaneous.” </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; text-align: center;">There’s been ballet, dance classes, opera, an electric guitar concert, parties, rock bands, <i>The Car Plays</i>, Movie Mondays, community festivals, Walks for various causes – and now – World Cup soccer! The Center welcomed soccer fans to watch The Netherlands vs. Brazil on Saturday, July 12th and Argentina vs. Germany on Sunday, July 13th (lucky 13 as it turned out for Germany). The games were shown on LED jumbotrons. Food trucks fed the hungry, and the Center’s children’s Imagination Playground provided diversions for little ones not yet in the soccer groove. </span><br />

During dance class, students learned choreography from shows such as <i>Thoroughly Modern Millie</i>, <i>The Will Rogers Follies</i> and <i>Catch Me If You Can</i>. The “acting on film” session featured students working on-camera as they practiced cold readings in front of their peers. The program culminated with an open classroom session showcasing the week’s efforts to family and friends.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri; text-align: center;">Orange County foodies have reason to celebrate when they get together on the Arts Plaza for the annual free Movie Mondays. For the first time in Movie Mondays history, popular food trucks will sell gourmet snacks for fans to enjoy under the stars, while they watch films projected on the side of Segerstrom Hall. Guests may set up beach chairs and easily portable seats as early as 5:30 p.m., and trucks will begin selling food at 6 p.m. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri; text-align: center;">First up: <i>The Little Colonel</i> tonight, featuring the adorable little Shirley Temple and the iconic stair dancing scene with Bill “Bojangles” Robinson. May we suggest burgers, bite-size appetizers and root beer floats for this American classic? </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">To get a preview of Hammond B-3 master Dr. Lonnie Smith's Center debut this weekend, I went back to his 2012 CD, <i>The Healer</i>. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Again, I was immediately pulled in by the less-is-more interplay of Smith and guitarist Jonathan Kreisberg, who along with drummer Johnathan Blake accompanies the organist in Samueli Theater this Friday and Saturday. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The way they weave together various styles and rhythms produces music that is both immediate and timeless. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">"The sound is a combination," Smith says. "You have fusion, mixed in with hip-hop, jazz, and funk without even thinking or trying to do that." </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">At 71, Smith has clearly gotten the upper hand on time. Whether it's a single song tempo, the signature beat of an era, or his life, there's an energy that comes across. You can't help but feel rejuvenated. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">"I think his specialty is making people feel something," Kreisberg says. "I've seen an audience rise to their feet and lose their woes. He's almost like a healer, you know, and that's how we got the idea." </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When Ramsey Lewis wanted a segment on the Hammond B-3 for his 13-episode series, <i>Legends of Jazz</i>, in 2006, he invited two greats from two generations: Smith and Joey DeFrancesco, who appeared here a couple years back with vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson. Now it's Smith's turn to show how it's done.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">He continues to appeal to artists of every era, with his music recently sampled by Jay-Z and Mary J. Blige. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">"I don't even think about the age because I don't feel that way," Smith adds. "I'm just doing it and it feels great: Just doing it while I have a chance to do it."</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The brilliant Diana Vishneva swirled among other dancers on the Sochi stadium floor until they eventually created the shape of a dove, which was followed by opera star Anna Netrebko singing the Olympic anthem. Among Vishneva’s many appearances at the Center, she has starred in two solo evenings created for her by the Center in association with Ardani Artists – <i>Diana Vishneva: Beauty in Motion</i> and <i>Diana Vishneva: On the Edge</i>. Her performance in <i>Beauty in Motion</i> won Russia’s prestigious Golden Mask award for the Center, that nations’ highest accolade for achievement in the arts. </span><br />
