Idina Menzel, What Was the First Album You Ever Bought?
Monday, June 28th, 2010
“It’s so corny. I wish it could be Led Zeppelin or something cool like that. But it was actually ‘A Star Is Born,’ the soundtrack with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson. I mean, how hokey is that?
My grandmother took me to see the movie, and it was a great movie. So then it was the first album that I got. And I remember sitting on the floor and listening to it. The album had a really cool picture book inside, too.”
Tony Award-winning singer-actress (and “Glee” cast member) Idina Menzel steps into the spotlight as the featured vocalist with Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops Orchestra at Tanglewood in Lenox at 8:30pm on Friday. Other special guests include trumpeter Doc Severinsen and pianist Michael Chertock. Tix are $21-$115.

Be Here Now: Arlo Guthrie @ Shakespeare & Company, 12/5/09
Tuesday, December 1st, 2009
Certainly some of Arlo Guthrie‘s classic shaggy dog tales are as confounding and convoluted as Shakespeare’s finest, but don’t expect Arlo to tackle the Bard with this concert at Shakespeare & Company’s Founders’ Theatre in Lenox, Mass.
No, instead, he’s helping out with this benefit performance to help raise much-needed funds for Shakespeare & Company. Tickets are $30, $65 and $100, and admission includes a post-concert dessert reception.
Showtime is 8pm, and if you’re planning dinner out prior to the performance, consider dining at one of the many area restaurants that are also making donations to Shakespeare & Company on Saturday.
