![]() ![]() CLIF MALONEY died on a mountaintop in China.Our sympathy for his wife,Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (Dem.NY) and his daughters Virginia and Christina who spoke warmly about their father. PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON attended. A friend,who sang and played piano at the church was CAROLE KING. The song was "So Far Away". Mrs. Maloney had recently decided not to run for the Senate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ******** Why should Andrew Lloyd Weber write all the musicals for Broadway? Still in progress THE NEW YORK MUSICAL THEATRE FESTIVAL Everyday till October 18, you can see musical theater for $20 The number is 212- 3523101 or www.nymf.org. Executive Director Issac Robert Hurwitz said "we have amazing 30 shows including some in foreign languages". Sharon Fallon, chair of the Board of Directors said "this is the best year for the Festival". My favorite was 'ANJOU'-A Tale of Horror in Spanish.The Executive producer Ricardo Carvajal presented a very impressive musical in Spanish. The story is true,all about death. Catalina d'Medici, queen of France creates a blood bath of murder in order that her son Henry d'Anjou become King. Inviting Protestants to the wedding for her Catholic daughter, she has some 6,000 murdered in cold blood. The music is brilliant, filled with passion that exceeds any expectations. Kudos - should be on Broadway. |
