Hey, gang. Ms. Benanti's birthday is rapidly approaching in a few short weeks. And because of her incredible kindness and friendship to me, I thought it would be a nice treat to put together a basket full of goodies for her birthday.
So, I'd like to collect as many fan letters as possible so that she can read one before each performance.
If any of you would like to send her a letter, I'd ask that you do so by July 10th.
My e-mail address is steven.mccasland@gmail.com
I won't go into too many details about what's in the basket because it's a surprise for her, so who knows who might read this and pass it on to her.
Thanks, gang!

Hi Steve. :P
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride.
I love you because I know no other way than this.
I believe in fate
But it's up to us to follow through

Posted: 6/18/06 at 5:32amI saw Ms. Benati in the (fairly) recent summer production of a Little Night Music at the L.A. Opera. What an exceptional voice and such a command of comedic timing. She's just one of those actors your know is going to have a long and fruitful career.

Posted: 6/18/06 at 11:05amGot two letters. Take your time, gang. I wanted to start this early because I'm not very crafty. I'm putting the letters in a scrapbook but turning it into a kind of datebook. So she can read a letter on each day.

Posted: 6/19/06 at 11:27amI'm not really familiar with some of the things Ms. Benanti has done before in musical theater, but I love her voice on the Wedding Singer cast recording, especially "Someday." I saw her recently in it - great show!

Is someone copying my recent gift to Maria Friedman?
Lol!!
Sounds like a great Idea. I am sure Laura will love the gift just as much as Maria loved what I gave her!
...What happened next, was stranger still, a woman breathless and afraid, appeared out of the night, completely dressed in white. She had a secret she would tell, of one who had mistreated her. Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...
