The Pops Party Pics

Now there's some alliteration for you.  Below are some of my favorite images I took at the New York Pops Birthday Gala at the Mandarin Oriental.  My absolute favorite moment was having the three Tracy Turnblad's together, with John Waters in the middle.  These moments only happen in New York City.

And there are a few of yours truly, with some women I truly admire and had the pleasure of speaking with!

New York Pops Step and Repeat continued

Here are more of my favorites from the New York Pops step and repeat, following the concert at Carnegie Hall.  I have never photographed so many people I admire in a single evening!

New York Pops Step and Repeat

On Monday evening, I had the pleasure of attending the New York Pops 31st Birthday gala, held at Carnegie Hall.  And not only did I have a great seat for this incredible event, but I was able to photograph the after-party.  It was definitely a who's who of the entertainment industry.  Here are some of my favorite shots from the step and repeat, held at the Mandarin Oriental in New York City.

New York Pops Ed Launch with Broadway's Brightest

Tonight I had the great pleasure of photographing the launch of PopsEd, the New York Pops Education Outreach program.  While the entire event was great, the most fun to be had was at the step-and-repeat!  The PopsEd Ambassadors in attendance included New Your Pops conductor Steven Reineke, Ahrens and Flaherty, Brian d'Arcy James, Laura Osnes, Santino Fontana, Jason Danieley, Ashley Brown, Aaron Lazar, Rob McClure, and Kelli O'Hara.

I'm attaching a few of my favorites below.  Hopefully they'll be picked up by one of the Broadway websites and I'll be able to post that link as well.  But for now, it's off to bed.  I start rehearsals tomorrow morning for Master Class at Music Theatre of Connecticut!

Kevin B Photography on Theater Mania

My photos from Laura Osnes and Santino Fontana, performing at 54 Below just show up on TheaterMania.  Check it out here!

Santino Fontana and Laura Osnes at 54 Below

Tonight I was back at 54 Below, this time taking photographs for the New York Pops.  The show was a joint benefit to support the Ronald McDonald House and PopsEd, the New York Pops Educational Outreach program.

Laura Osnes and Santino Fontana, the stars of Broadway's Cinderella, headlined the event, which was hosted by the New York Pops conductor, Steven Reineke, with musical direction by Cinderella's maestro Andy Einhorn.

Since my roommate works for the Pops, I was able to attend the dress rehearsal, so I could plot out the best places to shoot, and where and when to utilize them.  Plus, I love musical theatre, so getting to hear the show twice was awesome!

Below are some of my favorite moments from the show.  If they get picked up by any of the theatre websites, I'll post those links here, too.
