BWW Photo Coverage: The Leading Men II

Great pictures! I wish I could've seen that.

that pic of Hugh and Matt has brought great joy to my otherwise joyless day.

Indeed he can WBAF...when he sings about his lover, Dick Cheney

WAT, I'm not entirely sure, but Tom did sing an adorable song...about playing right field for his little league team because that's where the sucky players go, and how sad/lonely it was to be playing right field, until he caught the ball, and he realized how important it was to be playing right field. It was so cute, plus I'm a huge baseball fan, so there's an added bonus.

I'm not sure...the program just says it's by Willy Welch.

I'm off to marry Danny Rei.

Me too.

So, apparently Willy Welch is a children's song writer, known as Mr. Willy to his fans...Does that creep anyone else out?

Especially listen to the track titled, "Having fun in the tub".

Damn, the backstage pictures are every single combination!

I love the one of Matt Cav performing. So awesome!

To answer 2 questions: Tom Andersen is a 5-time MAC Award winner (the MAC Award is cabaret's equivalent of an Oscar), and he's sung at Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center. Time Out New York once called him 'simply the finest male vocalist in town,' and Betty Buckley says 'he's a great singer who can sing everything.' When he sang 'Anyone Can Whistle' at Weill Recital Hall, Stephen Sondheim met him afterward and told him, 'You're terrific! And you made me cry.' Tom's also a songwriter. His best-known song is 'Yard Sale,' a story song about AIDS that has been performed around the world.

If you want to see more photos of Tom (with lotsa celebs), just go to his Gallery at www.tomandersen.com.

As for 'Playing Right Field,' it's a free-standing baseball song by Willy Welch. It's become one of Tom's signature songs.

Wonderful pictures, thanks!!

Hmm, was there a program for the event cause I didn't get one at my table.

---

Ahhh, I left out one of the side doors a while later so that's why I didn't see them. Thanks so much!!

"I'm stunned at the lack of paisley on Hugh Panaro."

Over dinner before the show, I said something about that to Cape Twirl..."When I found out Hugh was going to do the show, the first thing I thought wasn't 'What is he going to sing,' it was 'What is he going to wear?'"

How sad is that?

Wonderful show all around, too
