PAMELIA STICKNEY, THEREMIN

It takes a lot of musicians to put the life (waltzes, marches and polkas) into this party! We’re also bringing three resolutions into the New Year. Number one: Make new friends, but keep the old. Our new pal Marni Nixon is most famous for being INVISIBLE. In 1964, Time magazine dubbed her the “Ghostess with the Mostest” and spilled the beans on one of Hollywood’s best-kept secrets: she’s the real singing voice of Deborah Kerr, Natalie Wood and Audrey Hepburn in The King and I, West Side Story and My Fair Lady. And that’s just a little conversation starter. Imagine the stories she’ll tell and the music we’ll share… with a little help from her friend and ours, Broadway star Sarah Uriarte Berry. Resolution two: Get our hands on that odd looking instrument you can’t even touch to play. We found it – and one of the best thereminists in the world to play it. We think it’s a pretty safe bet you’ve never heard Rachmaninoff or Gershwin quite like this before! What’s that? The third resolution? Skip the Vienna Café before the show. But you know that’s not gonna happen. Life’s too short not to be sweet.
