The Return of Avi (@Ailey)

Avi Scher and Dancers opened their season last night at the Ailey Center and I was on hand (parked in the front row) to snap away and deliver some photos to this here blog.  Below you'll find a few selections featuring the spectacular roster of dancers Scher's lined up for the weekend of performances, which contains not one, but two, world premieres.  Don't miss your chance to see it.  Grab a ticket to see Monday's show!

JRB and GS by CAP and BS (That's "Broadway Stars")

For those of you who aren't die hard musical theater fans, let me translate the title of this post.  That's the music of "Jason Robert Brown and Georgia Stitt (performed) by  CAP 21 and Broadway Stars."  Quite the evening at Hunter College this past Monday, where Brown and fellow composer Georgia Stitt were honored and proved why by enlisting a slew of high-profile performers to sing their fantastic material.  Here are some shots from the evening.
