I saw a wonderful version at the Cape May Regional theater with the following actresses, Karen Ziemba, Ellen Dolan, Nicole Lowrance, Kate McCauley Hathaway, Marlena Lustik, and Meredith Riley Stewart. It was a small stage but an awesome presentation. Good shows are not only done on mammoth stages.
Had the pleasure of going onstage to In The Heights with my friend, Robin. He gave us a full tour of the stage and met a few cast mates. I was so impressed with the detail of the set. Since the set did not change during the show, I was amazed how intricate the floors were, even if could not see them from the audience. I know those old buildings from growing up, and the tile detail and everything was wonderful. Even the garbage in the trash can is changed almost every day. We do not go to dres...
Many years ago I met Betty Buckley on a vacation. For the first few days, I just knew her as Betty. She was not yet the diva. Then her last night, she sang a song and her voice totally stood out from everyone else. The next day she left and we exchanged addresses. That is when she put down Betty Buckley and then I knew why her voice stood out. We were just friends during the vacation because she was so down to earth. I have tried not to miss any concerts or shows since that time.
