MichaelaTV.com Reviews: The Players, Total Tolerance Theatre Company and Grace & Competra present a staged reading of COVER – A play in two acts – Monday November 28, 2011 at The Players Club, Gramercy Park, New York City.
Cover: a staged play written by William McMahon and Directed by David Drake is a performance that mimics real life very authentically and humorously while raising many important life lessons. With actors such as Max Rhyser, Steven Hauck, Karin de la Penha and Aryn Cole at the helm, a Broadway hit is sure to be brewing. When two seemingly heterosexual men cross paths during a “normal” day in the life, their paths immediately veer in an unanticipated direction. Friendship, passion, controversy, humor and deception all converge into a scenario that keeps us all on the edge of our seats. The women of this cast add layers and emotion: infusing strength, femininity, fragility, power and artistic prowess to their roles. The audience is kept waiting, wanting and fearful of the different scenes that transpire throughout this well written and well performed little vignette of life’s complexities. The scenario painted in this performance will hit home for some, will raise questions for others and will leave us all with lessons learned about life and about ourselves. We must all keep our eyes and ears open not only for the cast of COVER but for this piece of art that is sure to make waves on the great white way. —- Michaela

MICHAELATV.COM INTERVIEWS R&B LEGEND: MELI’SA MORGAN!
Meli’sa Morgan is an African American R&B singer born in Queens, New York who had a string of urban contemporary and house music hits in the 1980s and 1990s. She got her start in the music industry whilst singing with a church gospel choir called the Starlets of Corona. She cites Chaka Khan as a major influence. Her initial chart entry was as the lead singer of the dance group, Shades of Love. They had a single entry on Billboard magazine’s Hot Dance Club Play chart in 1982, the #26 “Body to Body (Keep in Touch)”. This was re-popularized in 1994 by new remixes, “Body to Body (Keep in Touch)”, and reached number 1 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart.
That same year, music entrepreneur Jacques Fred Petrus asked her to join his newly created studio group, High Fashion, that featured Morgan and two other New York vocalists, Eric McClinton and Alyson Williams. High Fashion’s sole hit, “Feelin’ Lucky Lately”, reached #32 on the U.S. Black Singles chart. In 1983 Morgan left, and was replaced in the group by the jazz vocalist, Marcella Allen.
As a solo artist she topped the R&B chart with her cover version of Prince’s “Do Me, Baby”,[1] (the title track from her debut album) which also became her only Billboard Hot 100 entry, peaking at #46 in 1986. She had several solo hits on the U.S. dance chart as well, including “Still in Love With You,” which hit #3 in 1992.
