Broadway Everywhere
Wine and Song!
Opera, Broadway, and wine on a Summer night. Now that is a recipe for one outstanding event-Broadway and operatic selections sung by seasoned performers amidst the splendor of a North Fork winery. Just about the greatest combination ever!
Don’t miss the opportunity to experience an evening of “Opera and Broadway of the Hamptons 2018” on July 14 at Duck Walk Vineyards in Southold.

Finally, a little plug for me…
I have long maintained that theatre and food go hand-in-hand. After all, there’s no question that “dinner and a show” make for a great evening. So, I’m taking the two subjects and combining them into one radio show. Join me for “Bagels and Broadway” the only theatre and food talk show debuting July 7 at 9 AM, on New York radio (on AM970). In addition to theatre and food news, on Saturday’s show, I’ll be chatting with beloved film, stage and tv actress (with the amazing voice!) Brenda Vaccaro, and fellow media personality-turned-theatrical producer, Leslie Gold, also known as “The Radio Chick.” “Bagels and Broadway” will also be podcast on the station’s site and on iHeart Radio. http://am970theanswer.com/personality/3513
