Two-time Tony-winning actress Sutton Foster recently appeared as Princess Winnifred in the Broadway revival of Once Upon a Mattress at the Hudson Theatre, and starred as Mrs. Lovett opposite Aaron Tveit in the Tony Award–winning Broadway revival of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. Her performance as Marian Paroo in the 2022 Broadway revival of The Music Man at the Winter Garden Theatre earned her seventh Tony award nomination and the 2022 Drama League Distinguished Performance Award. In 2021 she reprised the role of Reno Sweeney in Anything Goes at London’s Barbican Theatre, earning an Olivier Award nomination for Best Actress in a Musical. That same year she released her debut memoir, Hooked: How Crafting Saved My Life.

Stanley Jordan Plays Jimi
World-renowned guitarist Stanley Jordan has developed a new live show called “Stanley Plays Jimi.” This is a tribute show, but it’s not pure imitation. Instead Stanley builds on Jimi’s legacy in a creative way. As Stanley explains it, “This is my fantasy Jimi Hendrix concert if Jimi were still alive and playing today. By re-imagining his music and channeling his persona I try to bring that fantasy to life.” It may be surprising that Stanley Jordan would take on a project like this. After all, Stanley is already a well-known guitarist with a signature style, four Grammy nominations, a cameo in a Blake Edwards film (Blind Date), and a host of TV appearances over a long career including Jimmy Fallon, David Letterman, Jay Leno and Johnny Carson to name a few. Stanley also adds a few original compositions to the setlist- fantasy songs that could have been written by Jimi today, just to fill out the repertoire and to give shape to some of the new concepts Jimi was developing. This is the Hendrix of today, not yesterday.
