Last week my school went on a field trip to the Westchester Broadway Theatre for a production of Oliver!.
We were given the playbill and I saw Nora Mae Lyng's name there (whom many of you will remember from shows like Into the Woods, Amour, etc..) and I SPAZZED LIKE CRAZY
I was so excited (she was so so so so so so so good as the Widow!) that I bought roses and threw them on stage during her bow. I'm a loser like that, but she blew me a kiss so ALLL GOOD
That's near my place of residence.
REally? cool!
I loved it because the table where I was sitting at was literally right in fron of the stage. I could reach out and touch the stage with my hand..the actors were RIGHT in front me
SOO cool
Sally, your roses were a beautiful gesture, I'll bet Nora was thrilled.
Unfortunately, I'll bet all the other actors beat her to a pulp in the dressing room afterwards...
It's years since I 'spazzed like crazy'.
Fantastic!
We saw her as Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd at CenterStage in Baltimore last year and she was absolutely incredible! A brilliant singer and actor, love her!
I've actually been meaning to ask if anyone knew what she was doing these days. Hers isn't a name you hear too often, but she is fantastic! Her AMOUR performance still brings a smile to my face, and may have been the best thing about the show. Would've loved to see her Lovett. How long does this OLIVER run?

Who was she in into the woods, and what production? I've never heard of her.
she was the replacement as Jack's Mother. she was also the Whore in AMOUR and Fraulien Kost in the Gregg Edelman CABARET revival.
