paved paradise

Paved Paradise: The Songs of Joni Mitchell
Created and performed by John Kelly
November 1-4, 2007

"Worshipful and Uproarious! Lovingly devastating."
-New York Times

"Downright inspired! An homage that transcends!"-Daily News


A poignant homage to the legendary folk-rock diva, lovingly performed by one of New York's most talented multimedia artists. Award-winning John Kelly masterfully inhabits Joni's personae and sings with an uncanny likeness to the smoky soprano herself. Too exquisite to be camp-too improbable to be anything else! After seeing the show, Joni herself told the New York Times: "I was braced for a lampooning...I didn't expect to be so touched."

"Haunting crystalline countertenor is somewhere between male and female, human and angel."-New York Magazine

Definitely not your grandmother's Nutcracker! The Bang Group takes every little girl's favorite Christmas show and tears it limb from limb, with hilarious new twists for 2007! Mixing Tchaikovsky's original score with blues, jazz and contemporary music, the company turns the sugarcoated ballet into a beautifully executed piece of irreverent dance theatre. Whether you love or hate the original, this campy riff is brilliant for adults, rib-tickling for kids! "The Nutcracker on crack!"-The New York Times
