What do Major League Baseball, the NY Philharmonic and Mariah Carey have in common?
A CONCERT IN CENTRAL PARK, NY on the eve of Major League Baseballs All-Star game at Citi Field.
Putting these 3 elements together made for a great evening of entertainment. Having the opportunity to direct this show on July 13, 2013 was interesting and an honor to say the least. These 3 parts of the puzzle are about as opposite to one another as you can be, but when you combine them, not only does it work, it rolled as one and being in Central Park, NY just added to the excitement.
Our reviews were excellent! The evening started out with the NY Philharmonic on-stage as they brought up the legendary Joe Torre to read "Casey At The Bat", closing out the the first half of the evening with Mariah Carey.
After a short intermission, again, the NY Philharmonic and conductor Al Gilbert set the tone of NY. Mariah Carey once again to closed the show, But, in NY fashion that was not enough as to end this evening of collaboration, a fireworks display filled the air that gave the evening that NYC signature.
For me, it was a hot, humid and challenging 2 day event that was not without Murphy's Law, But in the end? Well, lets use a baseball term. "WE KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK".
Another one for the record books!!!
