The Lehman Trilogy Review: An eccentric dive into Lehman Brothers’ History

It’s the epic history of three Jewish brothers who brought the corporate world to its knees. The Lehman Trilogy creates the standard by telling their story in the best way possible. A musical that is a fabrication of Italian writer Stefano Massini directed by an Englishman Sam Mendes and yet a story typically American. Currently playing at Nederlander Theatre in New York, this musical is surely a must-see.

This is your chance to make an already fantastic experience sensational by reducing the cost to its minimum with Lehman Trilogy broadway tickets. This fantastic three-person musical came to Broadway after a total sold-out session at the National Theatre, the Park Avenue Armory, and London’s West End. The New York Times calls it “a ticket worth cashing in your gilt-edged securities for” and The Wall Street Journal says, “You should crawl across broken glass to see it.”

Know Before You Go

A direction of numerous award-winner Sam Mendes, The Lehman Trilogy charts the corporate life of three Jewish brothers as they arrive in America searching for a new life. The story covers it all in a 2 hour and 30-minute production. From a general store in a neighborhood to a well-established firm and its collapse. Lehman Brother’s Firm ruin caused an uproar in the financial sector of the American economy. The biggest financial crisis ever in the history of America.

Their journey through it all is covered by three cast members only. The cast includes Simon Russell Beale as the eldest Lehman brother ‘Henry’, Ben Miles playing second brother ‘Emanuel’ and Adam Godley as Mayer Lehman. As The New York Post suggests, “You dare not miss it” you better “Do anything you can to get a ticket.”

The Lehman Trilogy: An Intense Bravado

The story takes place in New York in the mid-19^th century. Where three Orthodox Jews arrive looking for life for themselves. The two brothers settled in the neighborhood whereas the eldest moved to the south, to Montgomery, Ala. He opens a general store benefiting from the Jewish Sabbath. Where his store was closed on Friday and Saturday evenings and open on Sunday all day. Bringing in floods of customers that were there for religious or other reasons. Later the other two brothers join in and start selling raw materials to grow cotton and then the crop itself. There was practically nothing they didn’t do. From trading coffee and oil, finance railroads and airlines, to pushing into film production. They produced films like “King Kong” and “Gone with the Wind”.

The production doesn’t stray from the story much but it rather not delve into the Lehman brothers firm’s demise. Which resulted in a full-blown financial outrage in America. It is mostly credited to the bank’s decision to pull all strings to focus solely on financial mechanisms. However, the staging of the three-men cast was the highlight of the show.

In an instance, Beale turns into a depressing teacher instructing none-other-than the future senator and governor of New York. The scene is hysteric without contrast, a pure comedic highlight in the musical. Then in one scene Adam Godley sucking the life out of the dance as Bobbie Lehman had the audience breaking into a big round of applause.

Conclusion:

The play though seems rushed at times doesn’t fail to deliver the emotional weight of the story. The writing is lyrical and direction outstanding. But what makes it an all-time success is its trio of actors who are almost never vague in their precision. They are well deserving of their collective nominee of the Olivier Award for Best Actor.

ASCAP, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, announces the official launch of the ASCAP Wellness Program to meet the evolving wellness needs of music creators. With this new program, ASCAP becomes the first US performing rights organization to focus heavily on its members’ physical and mental well-being to support their creativity, life balance and longevity.

“Creating music is an all-consuming passion and a labor of love, but you’ve got to take care of your instrument — in the case of music creators, your body, mind and spirit,” said ASCAP Chairman of the Board and President Paul Williams. “ASCAP has a long commitment to supporting the livelihoods of its songwriters and composers. With our new Wellness Program, we’re taking that one step further. If creating music is your life, we are here to provide the resources you need to be at your creative best. This is just the beginning, and we will roll out more services in the months to come.”

As part of ASCAP’s commitment to the needs of its members, the organization commissioned an extensive research survey to be conducted on an annual basis: “The US Music Creator Wellness Study.” The inaugural 2019 report revealed that music creators:

Have health and wellness needs that significantly exceed those of the general population
Do not feel that they have good access to wellness services
Are almost a third more likely than the general population to feel that their wellness has a major impact on their career

Fueled by the findings of the study, ASCAP has developed the Wellness Program (www.ascap.com/wellness) to include:

Innovative Wellness Services

ASCAP members will receive a range of benefits including access to and significant discounts on innovative services that support mental health, mindfulness, exercise and nutrition. Key strategic partners in the ASCAP Wellness Program include:

Aaptiv: music-powered, coach-guided digital audio workouts
BetterHelp: easy, affordable, anywhere access to therapists and mental health resources via your digital devices
Daily Burn: access to thousands of workout videos available from your home
Motiv: a fitness and sleep tracker housed in a ring
Shine: a self-care app with easy exercises and a supportive community

Recovery Support

The ASCAP Wellness Program also announces a strategic partnership with MusiCares®, a charitable arm of the Recording Academy®, that provides critical assistance to music people in times of need. Together with ASCAP, MusiCares will launch recovery-focused support groups in multiple cities as well as a digital support group that offers services to creators in any location. MusiCares will also serve as an official advisor on ASCAP’s recovery and mental health programs.

Wellness Events

Given music creators’ focus on both community and their health (see survey results below), the ASCAP Wellness Program will host wellness events for ASCAP members throughout the year in multiple cities. Wellness Program events will launch at the organization’s New York City headquarters on January 6 with a “sound bath,” an immersive group meditation experience that utilizes sound from a range of instruments to benefit a participant’s mind, body and spirit. Similar events in Los Angeles and Nashville will follow.

Additionally, the organization is planning a dedicated wellness programming track at the upcoming 2020 ASCAP Experience in Los Angeles, April 1 – 3. It has also hosted a number of other activities over the past month to preview the ASCAP Wellness Program, including a post-ASCAP Country Music Awards “ASCAP x Barry’s” workout in Nashville (featuring an all-ASCAP playlist), and “Mind Your Business: Mental Health in the Music Industry,” an ASCAP Urban panel discussion in LA.

Content Initiatives

As part of the effort, ASCAP will launch a new wellness content initiative, including today’s debut of a bonus episode of VERSED: The ASCAP Podcast featuring an interview with Paul Williams on the subjects of recovery and well-being as it relates to music creators. The ASCAP Wellness Program will also introduce #WellnessWednesday on all of its social media presences, featuring advice, inspiration and ASCAP members sharing their wellness activities.

ASCAP members are already voicing their enthusiasm for ASCAP’s commitment to their well-being through the Wellness Program:

“My wellness is more than being in the best shape I physically can be in for running around on stage each night,” said Michael Franti, a musician, humanitarian, filmmaker and activist. “It’s equally about eating well, getting enough sleep and being able to grow with the challenges that life on the road brings, without becoming so stressed that I can’t show up for my wife, kids and touring family in the way that I want to each day. Throughout my adult life I’ve battled depression and anxiety, and the music business has no shortage of pressures that can drag me down if I don’t have healthy habits in place. I’m super excited and grateful that ASCAP has made a commitment to helping artists be mindful stewards of their own bodies and hearts, so that they can be the best musical messengers of optimism, wellness and healing possible.”

SURVEY RESULTS

ASCAP’s 2019 US Music Creator Wellness Survey found that:

Music creators are 31% more likely than the general population to say that their health and wellness have a major impact on their careers
While creators are three times more likely than the general population to feel creative, inspired and brave, they are two to three times more likely to feel alone, disappointed and ignored
As a result, music creators place high importance on:
- Mental health and balance:
  - 83% more likely than the general population to say “meditating or practicing mindfulness” is very important to them
  - 55% more likely to say “therapy or coaching for self-improvement” is very important to them
- Exercise: Creators are 31% more likely than the general population to say that “exercising” is very important to them
- Community: Creators are 42% more likely to say “feeling connected to others” is very important to them
Music creators are four times less likely than the general population to feel like they have good access to services that can help with substance abuse and other addictions

ASCAP’s 2019 US Music Creator Wellness Study was conducted by Whitman Insight Strategies in Fall 2019.

Valentine’s Day aka the holiday of love is upon us! Whether you are a fortunate victim of the cuffing season or a valentine’s veteran, finding a present for your beloved is always a struggle.

Even if you classify Valentine’s Day as commercial propaganda, there’s no harm in celebrating your love. And if your better half is an ardent Valentine’s devotee, you especially need to prepare yourself.

Is the finding-the-perfect-gift panic kicking in? Don’t worry! Consider us as your honorary guardian angels. Check out our curated gift guide to find something better than done-to-death chocolates and flowers.

Plan a romantic date

Surprise your partner with a romantic date. This doesn’t mean making a reservation at a restaurant and calling it a day. Plan a date that includes doing a fun activity together followed by a delectable meal.

To take it up a notch, decorate your terrace or backyard with balloons and fairy lights and cook dinner yourself.

Luxurious skincare

The past couple of years has seen a growing interest in skincare in both men and women. Skincare can be pricey, which is why one might not buy it for themselves. So you can swoop in and treat your spouse with luxurious skincare products. La Mer, Drunk Elephant, Sunday Riley and Fresh are some excellent skincare brands.

Concert tickets

If you’re more into gifting something experiential, then there’s nothing better than concert tickets. Imagine this, you and your girlfriend or boyfriend dancing the night away at a Jonas Brothers’ concert or feeling the love with James Blunt’s mesmerising tunes. It’s the recipe for the perfect date night.

Smartwatch

Not everyone is into frivolous or sentimental presents. A smartwatch is perfect for those who appreciate a practical gift.

Jewellery

Did you leave gift hunting for the very last minute? Jewellery is your fool-proof solution. You can never go wrong with a beautiful piece of jewellery. You can even get it engraved with a special message to personalise it.

Curated subscription box

Subscription boxes are the gifts which give on giving, literally. There are a variety of options available such as beauty boxes, meal boxes, snack boxes, fitness boxes, stationery boxes and more. You can customise them to match your partner’s taste and preferences.

Bath hampers

Does your spouse love to unwind with a bath? Make this relaxing routine more enjoyable with a bath gift hamper. Lush and Jo Malone offer some incredible bath products that will definitely win you several brownie points.

Makeup

Every makeup enthusiast loves to get their hands on the newest products. Surprise your makeup-loving partner with the latest products from Fenty Beauty, Glossier or Hourglass. If you’re not sure what to buy, you can cop out with a Sephora or Ulta gift card.

Customised map art

For all the sentimental lovers out there, customised map art will prompt several awws and maybe even a few tears. An art pinpointing the place you met for the first time, your first date and other significant locations makes a thoughtful gift.

Personalised scrapbook

A good gift doesn’t always have to burn a hole through your wallet. If you’re looking for something affordable yet meaningful, make a personalised scrapbook. Fill it with your favourite pictures, memories, notes and other details.

Gift a class

If your partner always wanted to learn a skill, give them an opportunity to do that. Cooking classes, pottery lessons and dance lessons are some great options. Also, you can offer to take these classes with them.

Record player

In the age of streaming music, there is something quite special about a record player. You can give it along with a few iconic vinyl albums and maybe have an impromptu dance party.

Guns n’ Roses: Back and Stronger Than Ever

When asked which rock legends are truly deserving of ‘icon’ status, few people would hesitate to include Guns n’ Roses in their reply. The band, fronted by Axl Rose and Slash, are among the most widely-celebrated and critically-acclaimed acts in music history, leaving a mark on the genre of rock that will continue to influence new artists for generations to come.

Their hard rock hits such as Welcome to the Jungle, Sweet Child o’ Mine, and Paradise City are enjoyed by countless millions of fans and continue to be among the most streamed songs ever on platforms such as Spotify and YouTube. While long-time fans will be aware of the continuing success of Guns n’ Roses since the abrupt end of their two-decade hiatus, others may be less aware of what the band has been up to since their heyday. Read on to find out exactly why Guns n’ Roses are back with a vengeance.

The Guns n’ Roses Empire

Although the band initially parted ways over twenty years ago, rarely appearing together in public during their hiatus, they did manage to build one of the most successful and lucrative rock empires of all time. Their merchandise empire is reported to be one of the most valuable in the world, with the band selling clothes, vinyl, badges, posters, and even home products such as Christmas baubles and flasks to millions of eager customers.

In the gaming world, their legacy is even more pronounced. For example, major real-money online gaming platforms such as Genesis Casino video slots offer an official Guns n’ Roses game, where fans can re-live all of the greatest hits via a 5-reel slot. In addition, band members have reportedly made hundreds of thousands of dollars licensing their music to video game franchises such as Guitar Hero. Arguably, it is the business-savvy empire that the band has created that has helped keep their legacy alive.

The Tour to End All Tours

Of course, the story doesn’t end there. Last year, the band made headlines around the world by announcing that they would be coming back together for a mammoth world tour across two dozen countries. Since kicking off back in 2016, the Not in This Lifetime Tour has gone on to become one of the highest-grossing ventures of all time, generating a staggering $563.3 million. Massive arenas sold out in seconds, as fans flocked for a chance to see Axl and Slash together on stage again, despite them both saying a few years previously that such a thing would never happen.

The extensive tour continues until July 2020, making the four-year stretch one of the longest in rock history. One of their next big appearances will be at the Superbowl Music Fest in Miami at the end of January, where RnB legend Snoop Dog will be opening for them in front of thousands of people.

Other legends that have had the honor of opening for Guns n’ Roses on the tour include ZZ Top, Billy Talent, Lenny Kravitz, and Alice in Chains. The fact that A-list artists are still falling over themselves for a chance to share the stage with Axl and Slash is a testament to their staying power.

The Guns n’ Roses tour may be ending this year, but that doesn’t mean they’re going anywhere. Watch this space for
