Waiting for Waiting for Godot, and a summer concert...

Saturday 29 June I'm singing with SGVCC in Monrovia, and I'm directing Waiting for Waiting for Godot at Sacred Fools, opening in November!

I want you to listen to me very carefully... I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm directing Dave Hanson's WAITING FOR WAITING FOR GODOT in Sacred Fools' upcoming season, opening in November! From the press release... Ester and Val are understudies for a production of Waiting for Godot. They are committed to art, and frustrated by anonymity. They understand their purpose, but not the reasons they stay. They accept their fate, but question each other's motives, all while waiting for "him" to appear... A "gleefully absurd" (Time Out New York) backstage farce packed with profound insight, existential dread, and shameless punchlines, Waiting for Waiting for Godot is the Beckett companion you didn't know you needed. Directed by Jacob Sidney (Rose and the Rime), this show will be performed in the Broadwater Second Stage. Come hear me sing with the wonderful voices of SGVCC!  No reservations required, come on down and get tickets at the door! Here's "Soliloquy" from last year's summer concert! The Broadwater Fringe has been a crazy blast during the Hollywood Plunge Festival, and we're all handling it just fine :) Come join the fun before July 1st!  - j Copyright © 2019 Jacob Sidney, All rights reserved.

Luck be a Lady, and new cocktails for Fringe!

Saturday 29 June I'm singing with SGVCC... until then I'm slinging drinks for Fringe at the Plunge!

Fools give you reasons... Saturday 29 June my choir is doing some wonderful arrangements from great musicals on film!  I'd forgotten how beautiful the choral medleys from South Pacific and The King and I are... really musical, interesting settings that stand up as compositions on their own, well beyond a simple run-down of tunes... Plus the heartbreaking West Side Story and a few lesser-known gems... I'll be singing Luck be a Lady from Guys and Dolls!  Love me some Brando, but it wasn't his best moment ;) Here's "Soliloquy" from last year's summer concert! Over to the Plunge we're hard at work gearing up for the Hollywood Fringe Festival!  Previews start this Thursday, and we're celebrating with the launch of our new menu honoring Sacred Fools' Fringe shows from the past.  During Fringe we're open at 4pm weekdays and 10am(!) weekends!  You can usually find me Wed-Sat nights, plus I'm opening this Saturday June 1st:  Come join me for a Bloody Mary! Some exciting news about Sacred Fools' upcoming season is coming soon, stay tuned!  - j Copyright © 2019 Jacob Sidney, All rights reserved.

Carousel in concert, a new bar, and a new me!

Saturday June 9th I'm singing Billy Bigelow's Soliloquy from the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic Carousel!  I hope you can make it!

You can have fun with a son, but you gotta be a father to a girl. - Billy Bigelow Click the poster above for tickets to SGVCC's spring concert!  If you're not familiar with "Soliloquy," sung by Billy Bigelow at the end of Act 1 of Carousel, it's one of the great baritone solos of the 20th Century.  Bigelow is a carny, living hand-to-mouth as an entertainer until his wife gets pregnant.  "Soliloquy" is the process of him realizing he's about to be responsible for a baby. So... it means a lot to me :), and I'm grateful to get to perform it in public for the first time at this event!  I hope you can make it. Ps... We're raffling off two Disney passes at the concert, a $270 value could be yours for as little as $5!  To enter without attending, e-mail choralcompany@gmail.com.
