But Valland, who inspired the character played by Cate Blanchett, was not going to easily give up her information. Living in Nazi-occupied Paris had made her wary, even of her fellow countrymen, and she wanted to know that she was giving the information to someone who would help return the works to their rightful owners. “Valland’s watching everything that Rorimer’s doing,” said Edsel. “What evolves between the two of them is this dance … She’s testing him. She’s trying to find out where his loyalties lie.”.

Kidjo is hardly the first African-born musician to find inspiration in Afro-Cuban music, Rhythms, religious rituals and instrumental practices have flowed back and forth between the old and new worlds for centuries, but Cuban son found particularly fertile soil in Africa in the 1940s, followed by the styles son gave birth to, like salsa, Growing up in the 1960s and ’70s, Kidjo recalls that “there was no party without salsa, Salsa and rumba was always part of our musical background, When Celia started singing with that 6/8 feel, that’s West African music, too — that’s the girls ballerina art, girls wall art, ballerina room wall art, ballet shoes, polka dot, pre teen girls room, girls posters, set o basis of salsa, I’m recording an album to bring salsa back to its origins in Africa.”..

Which brings us back to the wooden sheep. Their appearance two months ago marks the first new sign on the property since Michael was born. The Kukars had tired of the notoriety. They wanted to concentrate on rearing their baby. But with the news that Jill is due in April, George began to worry that he might be slighting their second child. He decided to produce a series of signs to alert motorists to the pending birth. So he enlisted Jill, and they cut the sheep silhouettes out of plywood, painted 12 white and one black (why not?) and wrote the first message: “Do a little Dance.”.

Town Hall’s ‘Moon Over Buffalo’ opens Saturday. For the final show of Town Hall Theatre’s 2014-2015 season, veteran director Scott Fryer returns to helm one of the greatest farces of our time, Ken Ludwig’s “Moon Over Buffalo.”. For George & Charlotte Hay, two Broadway has-beens, time is running out. After a short stint in Hollywood, they’ve retreated to run a repertory theater in Buffalo, N.Y., all hope for stardom is lost … until legendary director Frank Capra loses the lead in his upcoming film adaptation of “The Scarlet Pimpernel.” If Capra likes what he sees at that afternoon’s repertory matinee, the two fading stars may get a second chance.
