Wax Idols<\/p><\/div>\n

Wax Idols, one of four acts playing Fillmore Philadelphia (1100 Canal Street, Philadelphia, 215-309-0150, www.thefillmorephilly.com<\/a>)\u00a0is a band featuring Hether Fortune, Rachel Travers, Peter Lightning and Marisa Prietto.<\/p>\n

In reality, Wax Idols is Hether Fortune (a.k.a. Hether Fedewa).<\/p>\n

\u201cI started the band in 2009,\u201d said Fortune, during a phone interview last week from her home in Oakland, California. \u201cAt first, it was just me making demos in my home.<\/p>\n

\u201cI put them on MySpace and soon people wanted to join the band. I\u2019ve had a lot of band members come and go \u2013 always on good terms. This line-up of four we have right now has been together for two years and Rachel has bene with me for four years\u201d<\/p>\n

So, in reality, Wax Idols is Hether Fortune — and a lot more.<\/p>\n

\u201cRachel has devoted four years of her life to this project so she deserves a say,\u201d said Fortune. \u201cIt\u2019s her band too. Peter and Marisa expressed their desire to be included equally. Prior to these three, I didn\u2019t have the commitment from players in the band.<\/p>\n

\u201cInitially, we were taking a minimal party-rock approach \u2013 pretty straight-forward. Now, the band has taken on a life of its own. It\u2019s more expansive sonically.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re an aggressive goth-pop band played from a punk perspective. On the new album, there are no ballads \u2013 no slow songs \u2013 and that\u2019s a first. We also play house and jazz \u2013 all types of stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

The band\u2019s new album is \u201cHappy Endings,\u201d which will be released later this year on Fortune\u2019s label Etruscan Gold Records.<\/p>\n

According to Wax Idols\u2019 press release, \u201c\u2018Happy Ending\u2019 is a concept album exploring the posthumous consciousness of a fictional protagonist who can still fully perceive the world around herself. \u201cIn a grave, just for you,\u201d Fortune sings with a certain slyness, exploring the abstraction & finality of death from both philosophical and personal perspectives. She also sees this album as a way to process increasing anxieties and fear within the current sociopolitical landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fortune and her bandmates found their focus.<\/p>\n

\u201cLyrically, it\u2019s very compact \u2013 and pretty conceptual,\u201d said Fortune. \u201cThere is the guilt of losing someone \u2013 and the guilt of someone who is lost.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started working on it last year and then got hit with personal tragedies that halted the process. We had hoped to have it out by now. Instead, we\u2019re still going back to rework some of the stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

But, Wax Idols does have something new out right now \u2013 sort of.<\/p>\n

Wax Idols\u2019 critically-acclaimed album, \u201cAmerican Tragic,\u201d was reissued digitally on\u00a0March 10\u00a0with limited-edition alternate cover on purple cassette via the band\u2019s label Etruscan Gold Records. The reissue includes an exclusive remix of \u201cDeborah\u201d by Peter Lightning.
\n\u201c\u2018American Tragic\u2019 was out third album,\u201d said Fortune. \u201cIt came out in 2015. We just reissued it because we started our own label and there are no copies of the original album left.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show at the Fillmore, which also features Thursday, Touche Amore and Basement, will start at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $28.<\/p>\n

Other upcoming shows at the Fillmore are The Menzingers on March 31 and Steel Panther on April 5.<\/p>\n

James McMurtry<\/p><\/div>\n

James McMurtry is back home in the states and currently in the middle of his \u201cEast Coast Stateside Solo Tour,\u201d a tour that includes shows at legendary listening rooms such as the Birchmere in Alexandria, Virginia; World Cafe Live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and New York City\u2019s City Winery.<\/p>\n

According to McMurtry, \u201cNothing makes you miss Waffle House like a couple of weeks in Europe. The term \u2018Continental Breakfast\u2019 is an oxymoron. And I haven\u2019t heard Spanish in nearly a month. I sure miss the States.\u201d<\/p>\n

McMurtry\u2019s \u201c<\/u>East Coast Stateside Solo Tour\u201d started on March 24 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and will conclude on April 6 in Fall River, Massachusetts. On March 31, it will make a local stop at the World Caf\u00e9 Live at the Queen (500 North Market Street, Wilmington, 302- 994-1400,\u00a0www.queen.worldcafelive.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

McMurtry took time from his break between tours for a phone interview last week.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m driving through Dripping Springs (Texas) on my way back from Junction (Texas),\u201d said McMurtry. \u201cI was on a hunting trip to Junction trying to get an Axis deer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just did a month of touring in Europe and now I\u2019m back home in Austin. I\u2019ve been living here for 28 years. This tour I just finished was my first time to tour Europe since 2009.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the eight years since that tour, McMurtry has released just one album \u2013 2015\u2019s \u201cComplicated Games.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cComplicated Games\u201d is McMurtry\u2019s latest collection of narratives and another display of his astute writing. It covers personal and political topics delivered in McMurtry\u2019s inimitable style.<\/p>\n

\u201cI try to avoid writing like the plague,\u201d said McMurtry. \u201cI don\u2019t really start with a topic. Usually, I get two lines and a melody together. It\u2019s \u2014 O.K., who said that? When I find a character, I start to build the story.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce I find the character, I step into his shoes. The biggest thing is to not break character.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor example, the song \u2018Carlisle\u2019s Haul\u2019 is written from the view of commercial fishermen. They want no government regulations. I\u2019m against that stance \u2013 but I\u2019m not pulling my living out of the bay. I can\u2019t break character and give my opinion.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the songs on \u2018Complicated Game,\u2019 some are old and some are new. \u2018You Got to Me\u2019 started 20 years ago while \u2018Ain\u2019t Got a Place\u2019 took 15 minutes. For my set list, I play whatever works. Some songs work and some don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

McMurtry will making this tour without his band.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a solo tour and there\u2019s stuff in my set list from every one of my records. I can\u2019t get my band to the East Coast because I\u2019ve already used up the route since we put the record out.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe toured the whole country in a van \u2014 starting in Texas and working our way around the country. I can\u2019t fly my band east just for a couple shows.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt used to be that we toured an album to promote record sales. It\u2019s changed a lot. We don\u2019t make money on records. Royalties don\u2019t pay very much. Now, we make records to promote our tour dates.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once<\/p><\/div>\n

The emotional musical \u201cOnce\u201d was a huge success when it made its Philadelphia debut in the fall of 2013 with a two-week sold-out run at the Academy of Music. The next time the hit show returned to Philly was for a three-day, five-show run from at the same venue in January 2106.<\/p>\n

Now, the Grammy-winning musical is coming back to the area for another three-day, five-show run \u2013 this time at the Playhouse on Rodney Square (10th and Market streets, Wilmington, Delaware, 302-888-0200, www. duponttheatre.com<\/a>). The show will run from March 31-April 2.<\/p>\n

The main characters are a busker from Dublin who is identified only as \u201cGuy,\u201d a young woman from the Czech Republic identified only as \u201cGirl\u201d and \u201cGirl\u2019s\u201d mother Baru\u0161ka.<\/p>\n

The show opened on\u00a0Broadway\u00a0in February 2012. It received 11\u00a0Tony Award\u00a0nominations and won eight — including Best Musical.\u00a0It also won the\u00a0Drama League Award\u00a0for Distinguished Production of a Musical for the 2011-12 season. \u201cOnce\u201d also was the winner of the 2013 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce\u201d features an ensemble of actor\/musicians who play their own instruments onstage.<\/p>\n

It tells the tale of a Dublin street musician who is about to give up on his dream and the chemistry that takes place when a beautiful young woman takes a sudden interest in his haunting love songs.<\/p>\n

Over the course of a concentrated one-week period of time, their unexpected friendship and collaboration evolves into a powerful but complicated romance that is intensified by the raw emotion of the songs they create together.<\/p>\n

One of the key members of the cast is Alison Rose Munn who plays the role of Baru\u0161ka.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been with \u2018Once\u2019 since September,\u201d said Munn, during a recent phone interview from a tour stop in Wichita, Kansas. \u201cI didn\u2019t audition. I was asked to come on.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got an email telling me to send in a video of me doing a monologue in Czech accent, singing a song and playing some accordion. I rented an accordion for the audition. It was one-and-a-half weeks from then until my first rehearsal.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the Czech accent, I initially learned by listening to a podcast of a Czech person teaching Czech to English teachers. After I joined the show, we had a dialect coach come in. What I found most interesting was that he gave us different Czech accents based on each actor\u2019s age.\u201d<\/p>\n

The story and the music of \u201cOnce\u201d were all new to her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had never seen \u2018Once\u2019 because I was working so much \u2013 I was on tour,\u201d said Munn,\u201d who grew up in Northern California and earned a Bachelor of Music degree from New York University.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve worked continuously throughout my career. I was a singer in \u2018Jubilee\u2019 in Las Vegas and was in the national tour of \u2018The Taffetas.\u2019 \u00a0I\u2019ve played regional theaters all over the place \u2013 including the Dutch Apple Dinner Theater in Lancaster and the Bucks County Playhouse in New Hope.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never saw the movie of \u2018Once\u2019 either. I didn\u2019t have anything to relate to when I became involved with this show. I\u2019ve found out that it\u2019s a wonderful show. It has great music. And, I love the script.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also like Baru\u0161ka. She\u2019s very feisty. You can\u2019t tell her what to do. It took a bit of work at first to get to know her. But, overall, I was able to find her pretty easily.\u201d<\/p>\n

Theater patrons all across America and throughout Europe have embraced this musical.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople like the show because all the characters resonate with the audience,\u201d said Munn. \u201cDespite all their flaws, they are still good people. The show really draws people into the characters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Video link for \u201cOnce\u201d \u2013 http:\/\/oncemusical.com\/about<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The show at the Playhouse will have evening shows on March 31 and April 1 and 2 with matinee performances on April 1 and 2. Ticket prices range from $40-$85.<\/p>\n

The final night in March 2017 will be a busy night all around on Wilmington\u2019s North Market Street.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In addition to the McMurtry concert at the Queen and \u201cOnce\u201d at the Playhouse on Rodney Square, March 31 will also feature Kim Russo performing at the Grand Opera House (818 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware, 302-652-5577, www.thegrandwilmington.org<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Russo, also known as Kim The Happy Medium, has been able to see the world of spirit since she was a young child.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was around nine years old when it started to happen,\u201d said Russo, during a phone interview. \u201cI just remember having a crowd at the foot of my bed. There were men in black suits and fedoras and women in long black dress with laces on their heads. They had distinct faces \u2014 and distinct positions where they stood every time.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy sister and I shared a room. There was a street light outside our room that allowed me to see these apparitions. My sister never saw them but she said she did feel a presence. That house was in Ozone Park in Queens (NY).<\/p>\n

\u201cThen, our family moved to Long Island. What was weird was that the spirits followed me. They were with me during the day. I could feel them with me when I walked to school. During my teenage years \u2014 the older I got, it was getting less and less.\u201d<\/p>\n

But, it was a case of gone but not forgotten.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never thought much about it during my dating years,\u201d said Russo, who has appeared on A & E\u2019s hit shows \u201cParanormal State\u201d and \u201cPsychic Kids\u201d and The Biography Channel\u2019s \u201cCelebrity Ghost Stories.\u201d \u201cDuring my child-bearing years, it was as quiet as can be.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy husband and I moved back to that original house in Ozone Park and there were no spirits. Then, we moved to Long Island. After I had my third child, spirits came back \u2014 but not the same group. There were all kinds and they were insistent.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw an apparition of a 13-year-old girl \u2014 not solid but I saw everything. She didn\u2019t speak but I heard what she was telling me. She was from New Jersey and had died in a house fire. She said \u2014 you need to tell my parents I\u2019m O.K. Then, when she turned, I saw that her whole face was charred on one side.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom that point on, there have been floods of people. I don\u2019t see them all but I hear them all. I learned a lot about apparitions and did a lot of research.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since then, Russo has been put through a battery of tests and has become a Certified Medium by The Forever Family Foundation and The Windbridge Institute for Applied Research in Human Potential. This foundation is dedicated and committed to proving the existence of life after death by integrating mediumship along with scientific studies.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my shows, I do readings,\u201d said Russo. \u201cI can look at people and find the conduit. I might have to use an alternate but I rarely have trouble connecting. I interview the spirit and give the person getting the reading something to identify with. At times, I connect with someone they\u2019re not expecting.<\/p>\n

\u201cI go out onstage and warm up the audience to get the vibration up. The work that I do depends a lot on trust. I talk about whatever moves me that day. I don\u2019t ever plan it. It\u2019s always different. Once I get the audience comfortable, I take the microphone and walk through the audience.<\/p>\n

\u201cI allow the person getting the reading to stand up. I want the audience to know that there is no way Kin could have known about that family. If I weren\u2019t authentic, there is no way I could pull it off day-in and day-out. It\u2019s a demonstration of spirit communication.\u201d<\/p>\n

Russo has been given insight into what transpires on the other side.<\/p>\n

\u201cTime is not linear in the other world,\u201d said Russo. \u201cThere are several levels and dominions where souls go after they leave the body. Most of the energies I discover are earthbound.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are some who haven\u2019t gone in the light. A lot of time, spirits are earthbound and it\u2019s of their own doing. But, most people do go into the light. I\u2019ve studied a lot about near-death experiences too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Video link for Kim Russo — https:\/\/youtu.be\/tvu8NbIXMTA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The show at the Grand\u2019s Copeland Hall will start at 8 p.m. Tickets range from $32-$39.<\/p>\n

Delaware also is the place to go for another entertaining stage presentation on March 31.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Camelot<\/p><\/div>\n

The show, which is based on T.H. White\u2019s novel \u201cThe Once and Future King\u201d, made its Broadway debut in 1960 and received four Tony Awards. It has been revived several times on Broadway and was made into a film in 1967.<\/p>\n

\u201cCamelot\u201d tells the story of the legend of King Arthur who rules his kingdom with new ideals \u2014 with the intention of bringing peace to a troubled land. But when the two loves of his life \u2014 his beautiful new Queen Guinevere and his most trusted knight Sir Lancelot \u2014 give in to their passion for one another, troubles develop.<\/p>\n

One of the most fabled love triangles of all time starts to take shape. At the same time, Mordred, King Arthur\u2019s illegitimate son, sees these troubles and realizes that it is a kingdom in chaos. He attempts to take advantage of the situation and destroy all that is Camelot.<\/p>\n

The show not only tells a great story, it also features a celebrated score that includes such classics as \u201cIf Ever I Would Leave You,\u201d \u201cThe Simple Joys of Maidenhood\u201d and the title song \u201cCamelot.\u201d<\/p>\n

The production at the Candlelight is being directed by Bob Kelly. It features Sophie Johnson in the pivotal role of Guenevere from the time she was Lady Guenevere until the time she was Queen Guenevere.<\/p>\n

Johnson\u00a0grew up in Mankato, Minnesota. She graduated from the University of Minnesota-Mankato in spring of 2015 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in musical theater.<\/p>\n

After graduation, she travelled east to Pennsylvania. Johnson also travelled back in time \u2013 initially to the 16th century and then to the fifth and sixth centuries.<\/p>\n

Her journey to the 16th century took place in the middle of last summer.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast year, I got cast in the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire at Mount Hope,\u201d said Johnson during a phone interview Tuesday afternoon from her apartment in South Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

\u201cI spent the summer through November living in Manheim and working at the faire. I was an apothecary \u2013 an apothecary selling mints.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnson then left central Pennsylvania and relocated to South Philly. It was then that her career path took her to the theater in Arden, Delaware.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw a Theatre Philadelphia page posting about auditions at the Candlelight,\u201d said Johnson. \u201cI figured \u2013 why not audition? That was back in mid-November. I did the usual audition and then Bob (Kelly) asked me to come back a second time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had never seen the show but I was familiar with some of the songs from back when I was taking voice lessons. When I was auditioning for the BFA Musical Theater program at the University of Minnesota-Mankato, one of my main songs was \u2018The Simple Joys of Maidenhood.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hardest part about paying Guenevere was finding a way to toe the line between being a strong woman who doesn\u2019t take a lot of guff and still have her be vulnerable \u2013 a strong leader and an emotionally vulnerable woman.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like this show \u2013 especially how inclusive the cast is. We all get along really well. It\u2019s like a family. It\u2019s a great environment to work in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Audiences also really like \u201cCamelot\u201d \u2013 now and for the last 57 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think audiences like \u2018Camelot\u2019 because it\u2019s reminiscent of the Golden Age,\u201d said Johnson, whose resume includes \u201cmanual transmission and motorcycle experience\u201d and \u201cstage combat experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis show is so idealistic \u2013 honor and loyalty and commitment. And, there is the whole legend of Camelot. It\u2019s a fantasy.<\/p>\n

Performances are Friday and Saturday evenings (doors 6 p.m.\/show, 8 p.m.) and Sunday afternoons (doors, 1 p.m.\/show, 3 p.m.). Tickets, which include dinner and show, are $60 for adults and $33 for children (ages 4-12).<\/p>\n
