BIG APPLE BUZZ
BY FLO ANTHONY
Colin Jost and his Saturday Night Live
castmate Pete Davidson, who both
grew up on Staten Island, have found a
place to dock the Staten Island ferry that they
purchased in January for $280,000, along
with a group of investors.
According to the New York Times, the
277-foot-long 2,100 ton boat has found a
home on a shipyard on the western edge of
Staten Island. The New York Times reported
that the ferry was moved on April 11.
Rather than have the ferry towed directly
to the shipyard, Jost had two tug boats push
it out in the harbor, where the comedian
proceeded to be photographed standing on
the ferry’s roof next to the Statue of Liberty
with a helicopter and a camera drone whizzing
overhead.
Jost told the New York Times, “I’m a cautious
person by nature and this is definitely
the riskiest thing that I’ve ever done.” Currently,
the ferry is in a slip at Caddell Dry
Dock & Repair where it will reportedly stay
for repair and renovation………..
Emmy and Tony Award winning actor
Neil Patrick Harris, has joined the cast
of the New York City Center production
of Encores: Into The Woods. The popular
entertainer is replacing Christian Borle as
the Baker in the special two week run of
Into The Woods from May 4 – 15.
Borle is no longer able to perform in the
play due to availability, reports Broadway
World. The show is dedicated to the memory
of Stephen Sondheim.
Joining the company for a finale that
highlights the ways theater connects people
throughout time will be a 72 person multigenerational
community chorus of New
York City seniors and public school students
from City Center’s Education Department
partners, Lenox Hill Neighborhood
