Palladium gala strengthens

On the day that season tickets go on sale for its premiere half-season lineup (a schedule that includes dancer Savion Glover, the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra and more), the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel also announced two additions to the gala that will anchor its opening week of activity.

The January 29 concert, which already had Neil Sedaka, Chris Botti, the Carmel Symphony Orchestra, and Michael Feinstein on the lineup, will also include Dionne Warwick and Cheyenne Jackson.

The former is no doubt familiar to you for her run of '60s hits including "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" and "Walk on By"--if not from her embarrassing stint as a spokesperson for the Psychic Friends Network.

Jackson, who recently recorded an album with Feinstein, was the star of recent Broadway shows as "All Shook Up," "Xanadu," and the revival of "Finian's Rainbow." More info on the opening week gala here.

Sound interesting?

    Cheyenne may be new to Indianapolis audiences, but I've been a fan of his since back when he was still doing regional theater in Seattle. To be perfectly honest, Cheyenne is the only person in the Gala line-up I have any real interest in seeing, but at $1000 for the whole gala or $200 for show-only tickets, I'm afraid I'm going to miss it.

    Dionne Warwick of the Psychic Friends Network? When will they bring in the Lawrence Welk Reunion Revue?

    And here I thought they'd give Clowes a run for the money. Yikes, highly underwhelming. Sure, the Palladium ups the ante for the performing arts in central Indiana, but not by much. The bill of fare is much more interesting and diverse at Clowes, the Murat, Circle Theatre, and IU's Auditorium. Hmmm, on that point, the Palladium sounds well-suited for Carmel (sorry for the obvious but all too easy slam.) Much like the hall's architecture, the opening series is hardly cutting edge -- it's more classic comfort, like a good meatloaf. Here's hoping they at least got the acoustics right, they sure have paid plenty and hyped mightily over this HamCo hall in the cornfields. Maybe that might be worth the drive.

    The prices are an insult to patrons of the arts. The lineup leaves me speechless!

  1. RKW's comments read like a modern "Chicken Little". As a Raintree resident for many years, "Yes, I'm ready for this." Matter of fact, I welcome The Farm because it's a development that compliments our town, brings new and desirable shopping & dining closer (specialty grocer, upscale shops, micro brew pub, etc), offers upscale condos for empty nesters who want to stay in Zionsville, is being planned and constructed by local, well-reputed firms and, of course, provides desirable non property tax benefits. We all knew the Pittman's were going to develop their property sooner than later. That one of the Pittman's will continue to live on the property helps assure The Farm will be everything promised. This also sets a standard for other developers as to the quality of future developments - which should keep an ugly Walmart at bay for decades. As we've no meglomaniac mayor, I seriously doubt Zionsville would ever aspire to over-priced statues or subsidized retail rents. And we already have a very nice public theater, the Zionsville Performing Arts Center, that meets our cultural needs quite nicely.

  2. Do we add (or subtract) these from the bounty we recieve from RTWFL, Daylight Savings Time, corporate tax giveaways, and the crack job IEDC is doing?? Or is Mike going to blame these on Mitch?

  3. Who makes Tater Tots? They would be a good sponsor, because $3 Million for the alleged "Greatest Spectacle In Racing" is taters. Tiny, tiny taters. But at least they are making up something of the losses accumulated over the years in this dying sport. Buttock in seat is certainly not doing it, nor eyeball on TV, as evidenced by the lack of both.

  4. We loved lakehouse and think the Arbor Village would be a great location. It is less than 2 miles from over 1000 rooftops in the 225,000 to over 1 million range. Many people could use the great fishers trail system to bike or walk there. Just an idea Scotty -- but maybe something closer to 3 Wiseman would good. The only microbrew in area is Ram (boring)

  5. True, it's an ESPN production, but ESPN is just another name for ABC Sports, or what used to be ABC Sports since ABC Sports no longer exists as a name. ESPN=ABC Sports= ESPN. ESPN is, according to Forbes "the world's most valuable media property" worth $40 billion. Despite that, they fired 400 people this week.
