There were a whole lot of wars occurring last night on stage at War Paint. The central “war” occurred over four decades between the two dueling make-up titans: Elizabeth Arden and Helena Rubinstein. But the other wars fought on stage were just as divisive…
Recently, we got to see Sara Bareilles perform, while making lots of pie, in Waitress on Broadway. Tickets were not cheap, but we rationalized that it was like seeing a Broadway show AND a concert so we ponied up the extra cash. And boy am I glad we did…
Hello Dolly had absolutely nothing in common with the play Sweat. Instead of soot and sweat, we got sparkles, feathers, and fancy hats. In place of a gritty bar, we were transported to the red velvet bastion of The Harmonia Gardens. Heated clashes were cast aside for outsize song and dance numbers.

I was honored and frankly a little giddy to be included in the friends and family viewing of Sunset Boulevard last night. This was the first performance of the show for a full house audience on Broadway…
Dear Evan Hansen,
Today is going to be a great day. I want to thank you for kicking off the 2017 1st Tuesday of the Month Club with such a bang. With 40+ of us in the audience the pressure was on and boy did you deliver…
This topic figured prominently into the zesty post show tipple talk last night (over dinner at The Ribbon which I would highly recommend). And while there were some outliers, as a whole, I think the answer was yes with a big IF and a BUT…
