  1. Pasadena Playhouse: Mike Stoller and wife gave crucial $1 million

    If the Pasadena Playhouse had decided to adopt a theme song when a dire economy and long-standing debts forced it to cease operations for most of 2010 while it tried to claw its way back to solvency, “Stand by Me,” the 1961 pop-soul classic sung by Ben E. King, would have fit the situation precisely.

  8. 'Smokey Joe's Cafe' ★★★

    "Smokey Joe's Cafe," or "Baby That's Rock 'n' Roll" as it used to be known, is a straight-up Broadway revue based on the formidable catalog of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. No more, no less.
