  • CANCELLED: Jarrod Spector & Kelli Barrett This Is Dedicated: Music’s Greatest Marriages

    DUE TO SCHEDULING DIFFICULTIES THIS SHOW HAS BEEN CANCELLED.
    Newly-married Broadway veterans Jarrod Spector and Kelli Barrett are often asked, “What’s it like to be married to a fellow artist?”

    Bringing to life the greatest songs birthed from the greatest marriages, the two attempt to answer the question. From Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil and Alan & Marilyn Bergman to Sonny & Cher to Beyonce & Jay-Z, the themes of love, heartbreak, triumph, and despair infuse not only these incredible songs but also the storied partnerships themselves. In an evening filled with humor, heart, and powerhouse vocals, Barrett & Spector celebrate marriage as the driving force behind this timeless music and tackle the difficult questions behind keeping it all together.

    Audiences can expect to hear such classics as Bruce Springsteen/Patti Scialfa’s “Because The Night,” Sonny & Cher’s “The Beat Goes On,” Johnny Cash & June Carter’s “Going To Jackson,” The Bergman’s “How Do You Keep The Music Playing” and many more songs written and/or performed by iconic married couples.

    Tony Award nominee Jarrod Spector originated the role of Barry Mann in Beautiful. About his 54 Below debut, The New York Times wrote: “Witty, energetic and infused with a jolt of passion!” Jarrod is also known for his vocal prowess in the role of Frankie Valli in Jersey Boys, which he played on Broadway.

    Kelli Barrett recently originated the leading role of Lara in Broadway’s Doctor Zhivago. She has also appeared on Broadway in Wicked, Baby It’s You!, and The Royal Family.

  • Bob Dylan: Photographs by Daniel Kramer Curated by the GRAMMY Museum ® at LA LIVE

    Curated by the GRAMMY Museum ® at LA LIVE

    Curated by the GRAMMY Museum, in cooperation with Daniel Kramer, Daniel Kramer: Photographs of Bob Dylan features more than 40 of Kramer’s photographs from his time on tour with Dylan in 1964 and 1965. Kramer’s photographs are a striking, intimate account of the folk singer’s metamorphosis into a rock star. This photographic “backstage view” of the singer/songwriter showcases key moments in Dylan’s musical career during one of the most dynamic periods in American history. These seminal pictures of Dylan not only revealed the rising young star to international audiences, but set a standard by which all other rock portraits would be judged.

    Daniel Kramer and Bob Santelli from the GRAMMY Museum will give a talk during the opening reception.

  • Drones by Karina Aguilera Skvirsky

    Lecture: Feb. 2, from 4:30 – 5:30 p.m. in  Wilson Hall Auditorium

    Opening reception: Friday, Feb. 2, from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m.

    Drones are in the news. They carry out targeted killings; they are manned with cameras to record movements on the ground; hobbyists fly them in public spaces; Amazon wants to use them to deliver their products. Appropriating visual juxtapositions from the surrealists and kitsch sic-fi invasion films, Drones is a series of photo-collages that put flying objects into our aerial landscapes.

    This series includes landscapes from US, Ecuador and other unidentifiable locations. “The Drones” function like a photographic bricolage of buildings. The cut of a scissors and Photoshop suggest something crucial about Drones: their immediate extraterrestrial appearance places them in a space between reality and fiction mirroring our own abstract experience (via the Internet).
