Waterwell is one of New York City's most innovative and enthralling theater companies. Its most recent production, The|King|Operetta, a rock operetta about the last year in the life of Martin Luther King, received astounding critical acclaim with the New York Magazine calling it “One of the Best New Musicals of 2007,” and NYTheatre remarking “Groundbreaking. The next milestone of American musical theatre.” And with Advisory Board Members that include Tony Kushner, Tracy Letts and Charles Mee it's no doubt that they have become a theatrical powerhouse.

Waterwell's 3rd Annual Cabaret Benefit is a special one-night only performance of the music from The|King|Operetta sung by stars of the stage and screen. It will also feature never-before-heard material not included in the initial run at Barrow Street Theatre . In addition the company will be honoring board member Anne Mollegen Smith (former editor-in-chief of Redbook, Working Woman and McCall's) for her outstanding service to feminism and other social issues.

Over here at the Pub...we're still on a high from the two incredible (and sold out) Adele shows on the 17th and 18th.  If you were lucky enough to be here for Adele's US debut concerts, we're sure you feel the same way -- but if not, theres some great reviews and video out there to give you a better idea of why Adele is one of our favourite (with an "ou," of course) new artists.

Check out this politically-charged video-illustration from Michael Arthur, set to the new single, God Loves My Country, by Balthrop, Alabama from their upcoming EP of the same name. This video was made in commemoration of the fifth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq.

Joe's Pub's archival illustrator, Michael Arthur, whose blog tracks his musical experiences through his writing and inimitable drawings, has begun working hand-in-hand with Brooklyn's own folk-rock gem Balthrop, Alabama. Michael has been doing on-the-spot drawings invoked by Balthrop's live music, and then editing the recorded drawing process into evocative video stories.

They will be presenting this unique collaboration LIVE at Joe's Pub in an event called Chalk Talk on Friday, April 18th, 2008 at 7PM, presented in association with the Green Apple Festival.
