WOW!
What an NYC Broadway Evening!
Young Kevin Clay kicked it off with a great SOMETHING"S COMING
Strich followed with her BROADWAY BABY and WHY DO I LOVE YOU? which were both trademark and "Why" especially moving.
Other Highlights:
Jane Krakowski proving a perfect Sally with DON'T TELL MAMA.
John Cullum's hysterical I RISE AGAIN
Sutton Foster and her boys doing a cute YOU'VE GOT POSSIBILITIES
(saw Linda Lavin who introduced it in SUPERMAN paying close attention in the audience).
Renee Elise Goldsberry belting every note of THE MILLER's SON
Michael Cerveris acting the crap out of TOO MANY MORNINGS
Rebecca Luker's sweet warm full BILL
Aniki Noni Rose emoting and interpreting CAN'T HELP LOVIN DAT MAN
Kelli O'Hara singing beautifully in the Balcony scene from WEST SIDE STORY (with a weak matt morrison, but he didn't sing much)
An Amusing redition of ALL I ASK OF YOU as the Four Seasons would have done it. The Crowd Loved Michael Longoria's Sweet Freakish Voice (he's a cummer)
Donna Mckechnie losing the lyric but returning with a Powerfull I'M STILL HERE
Manoel with a soulfull OLD RED HILLS OF HOME (he has to work on his pronounciation, I think a better song could have been found for his talents)
Michael Arden (probably the youngest artist up there) Proving He is the best new up and Coming Singer/Actor on the Picture delivering a Funny strong sung SHE LOVES ME.
Carolee Carmella and Brian D'Arcy James heating up a Hot Night with two Evita Songs: BUENOS AIRES and OH WHAT A CIRCUS
with great Chase Brock Choreography
Only Downers were Shuler Hemsley's IN PRAISE OF WOMEN
(Just a bad choice, i felt)
Bebe Neuwirth's CABARET (What key was she singing in?)
But the audience seemed to love her
and LEE Ann Womack's DON"T CRY FOR ME ARGENTINA
(DON'T GET ME STARTED! What the hell was she even doing theree
But it was a Wonderful night and the skyline of NYC under a greyish cloud as the Orchestra played the Quintet to WEST SIDE STORY with Fireworks and LIZA's interplay and introduction to HAL PRINCE capped it all off
Congrats to All involved!

Yes! Goldsbery was great! I hope we get to see more of her in the future!
It was a fun night, but I would hardly call it amazing. My highlights were, Elaine Stritch, Michael Arden (although I thought his song would have been more believable if the they changed his lyrics from She Loves Me to He Loves Me), Renee Elise Goldsberg, Bebe Neuwirth, Kelli O'Hara (notice the exclusion of Matthew Morrison...she outsang him so much that he just seemed lame) and Carolee Carmello (she was awsome!) The rest were underwhelming. And what was with the weird choreography and the 90's GAP commercial clothes the dancers were wearing? Didn't make sense to me. Glad there was such a great turnout. It's great fun to be among so many broadway fans!

Corine is Home playing with her TARGET complimentary Flashlight.
Can't wait to see your pics Corine, I thought i saw you give Longoria a "special" hug.
He did a great job!

Greatest night of my life.
Christian Hoff is really nice. I had a nice chat with him and all of the Jersey Boys. And tomorrow I interview an Altar Boy.
Ha.
Life does not suck.

I was working.
I do want to thank MICAH at Mac for doing my makeup tonight.
He is faboo. I talked with Matt Morrison who looks fantastic as usual. But, tonight was all about work.
Hoff is a great speaker. And Spencer is about as sweet as they come.
The Jersey Boy swing is really cute.

Renee Elise Goldsberry
Anika Noni Rose
Carolee Carmello
Donna Mckechnie
Aamzing show...
re: BROADWAY UNDER THE STARS AMAZING!#14
Posted: 6/27/06 at 12:13amNo Daniel Reichard. He must have gotten stuck in LA. I loved Michael Arden, Bebe, Carolee and the Jersey Boys. Oh, and what was with the sound. It was all messed up!

I have to say, overall a good night. Kelli O'Hara was BY FAR the best with Christine Ebersole as a close second. Bebe was good as well. Brian D'Arcy James was great. I have to say, I was really disappointed with Manoel's performance. He was struggling with finding the tone of the song. Also, I thought Carolee's performance was terrible. Especially the ending. Everyone else was pretty much good.
Biggest let down of the night...expecting to see Michael Longoria, Bobby Spencer, Christian Hoff, and Daniel Reichard (my favorite), and having Daniel out with Dominic Nolfi standing in for him!!

Bebe is really nice. I interviewed her and Mano first.
Mano is really sweet.

I love Carolee Carmello...but know nothing about Carolee Carmella

Liza must have been biting her tongue when Bebe was singing "Cabaret". Loved when she walked out tho to introduce Hal.
I sat up front in the VIP section, or rather, on the ground in front of the VIP section. Lauren Bacall was there with Hal, looking good, a bit puffy but good.
It was cool to watch the show and then turn around and watch Hal Prince watch the show at times. He really seemed to be enjoying it.
God bless him and God bless God for not letting it rain on our parade.

Did anyone else notice that it took everyone a little while to stand up when Hal Prince (the honoree of tonight's event) came on stage, whereas everyone JUMPED to their feet the second Liza came on the stage. I found this rather amusing!

Posted: 6/27/06 at 12:26amWow, thats a lot of Showboat! Its making me miss that show! I'm dying to see it again!
re: BROADWAY UNDER THE STARS AMAZING!#21
Posted: 6/27/06 at 12:30amHow did all you people become VIPs? I had to sit behind the scafolding for the cameras so I couldn't really see the stage. I had to watch the show on the screens. Probably afected my enjoyment of the show. The only good spots were VIP only! So sad for all of us "Very Un-Important People"!
re: BROADWAY UNDER THE STARS AMAZING!#22
Posted: 6/27/06 at 12:32amYeah I was wondering the same thing. I was in the un-important people section too.

Sweetie,
You are important. Don't let it get you down. You were there.
That is all that matters.
All I can say is that I have wanted to inteview three people in my life.
1. Stritch
2. Vilanch
3. Harvey
1 out of three is great.
And Stritch called me "SWEET"
re: BROADWAY UNDER THE STARS AMAZING!#24
Posted: 6/27/06 at 12:35amP.S. Who is Kevin Clay? He was pretty good, but I have never heard of him before (since he's so young and all). Why was he in the show?
