Posted: 3/11/06 at 7:15amQuite possibly the most talented woman working in New York. Luckily for us theatregoers, she always seems to be working, but she definitely deserves a star vehicle.

Posted: 3/11/06 at 9:55amI went into See What I Wanna See being a huge Idina fan. I left singing the praises of the amazing Mary Testa! Truly one of the best performers I've ever had the pleasure of seeing.

Posted: 3/11/06 at 10:34amThe fire department had to be called out after Mary Testa performed "I Happen To Like New York" and "He Came Along" on Monday at THE BROADWAY MUSICALS of 1930 - the stage was in danger of spontaneous combustion.

Posted: 3/11/06 at 10:53amA remarkably talented woman. Her brilliantly funny Madame Dilly in the ON THE TOWN revival is and always will be one of my treasured theatregoing memories. She does indeed deserve to have a vehicle of her very own. Hopefully,one that's worthy of her.

Posted: 3/11/06 at 11:09amMary is an AMAZING performer whose voice is just incredible. I really think she needs to get some shot at bigger stardom! Perhaps the role fo Brenda in "The First Wives Club" musical?
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.

Posted: 3/11/06 at 11:15amWoah, she is talented. I saw SWIWS a little while ago, she was amazing! I loved 'greatest practical joke' and 'there will be a miracle'. Left me breathless.
