...Garth Drabinsky didn't go to the Tony Awards this year, even though two of his musicals, Parade and Fosse, were among the night's big winners. He didn't watch the show on TV either--too painful--though he caught a clip of it on the news up in Toronto. There was Roy Furman, the Wall Street banker in charge of the company Drabinsky had built, accepting the Best Musical award for Fosse, the show Drabinsky had nurtured, and thanking, vaguely, "the people in Toronto who were so helpful in starting this show." For Drabinsky, the "revisionism" is what...
...drama of Garth Drabinsky, the Broadway impresario--with a capital I--responsible for such shows as Ragtime, Kiss of the Spider Woman and Show Boat, has taken a turn worthy of a Shakespearean tragedy. The first-act curtain fell last August, when Drabinsky was suspended from Livent, the Toronto-based company he had founded. There he had pioneered a new business model, creating a company that both owned theaters and developed the shows that filled them in New York City and across North America...
McGraw and Hill are, right now, the prince and princess of country music. Oh, sure, sales-wise, Garth and Shania are still the king and queen, and yes, Kelly Willis' What I Deserve is, so far, the smartest, most consistently worthwhile country CD released this year--but if you're talking young, if you're talking sexy, spunky and--how cool is this?--married, McGraw, 32, and Hill, 31, are it.

...pictured above is not a moody, gaunt rock star. He is an avuncular, moonfaced country star with a rather inspired makeup job. But in the tradition of actual moody, gaunt rock stars like David Bowie, GARTH BROOKS has assumed an alter ego named Chris Gaines. Brooks will play Gaines in The Lamb, a film to be released next year. To create buzz for the movie, Brooks will release an album of greatest hits from Gaines' 15-year career. In fact, all the songs on the album are new. "We wrote songs to sound like they came from different periods," explains...
...cottages that are not a lot bigger than a child's garden playhouse. Now the area is host to home restorers like the Mileses, as well as visitors coming to poke into craft and antiques shops and dance the Cotton-Eye Joe at the famous Gruene Dance Hall, where Garth Brooks once played. One of the attractive qualities of this historic town is that the old and the young kick up their heels side by side...
