Chimera: 1. An imaginary monster compounded of incongruous parts 2. An illusion or fabrication of the mind. Especially...an unrealizable dream.
In October of 2009, Cassie Wooley was named NYMF's Next Broadway Sensation. This is her prize. A night of rock n' roll, new composers, a killer band, and a beast of a journey that asks "what happens when we really start paying attention?"
Conceived by Cassie Wooley & Eric Slater
Written by Eric Slater
Directed by Cobey Mandarino
With Musical Direction by Christopher D. Littlefield
And Sound Design by Victoria DeIorio
Produced by NYMF and SH-K Boom Records

ERIC BIBB
Tuesday, February 23 at 7:00 PM
Already enjoying success in Europe, Grammy nominee Eric Bibb is becoming a familiar face - and voice - in the U.S. Nominated for nine W.C. Handy Blues Music Awards and winner of the Best Newcomer title in the British Blues Awards, Bibb has been appropriately described as "discreetly awesome" and "a total original." As his popularity escalates, earlier comparisons to legendary greats Ry Cooder and Taj Mahal are being replaced by quotes that speak to Bibb's ability to "use standard blues ingredients to cook up something all his own." $18
DAYSLEEPER
Tuesday, February 23 at 9:30 PM
Daysleeper features the loops and textures of multi-instrumentalist, Kaki King, and the soaring melodies of EVI player, Dan Brantigan. King uses her lap steel to create beds for Brantigan to fitfully nap in. TrumPeter Brantigan blows into his EVI (electric voice instrument) that King says looks suspiciously like a bong. The result is music that you can dance or dream to. $15

OUR HIT PARADE STARRING BRIDGETT EVERETT, Kenny Mellman AND NEAL MEDLYN
Wednesdays, February 24, March 24, & April 28 at 9:30 PM
Our Hit Parade is a live top-ten countdown show created by Tony nominee and Obie winner Kenny Mellman (Kiki & Herb), carnal chanteuse Bridget Everett (At Least It's Pink at Ars Nova), pop song opera impresario Neal Medlyn (Neal Medlyn's Unpronounceable Symbol at P.S. 122), producer and MTV cameraman Brendan Kennedy, and writers Ada Calhoun and Peter Schjeldahl. The show is inspired by the musical sketch series "Your Hit Parade" that ran on radio and then television from 1935 to 1959. On that show, cast members performed the week's most popular songs as comically literal skits. In this show, the hosts and special guest stars from the local performance scene present their renditions of current popular hits live on stage! $20
