The Tony's

I haven't blogged for ages, and I apologize. I haven't been all that busy - just haven't had much to say. However, I watched the Tonys the other night and was absolutely blown away by the great theatre that is on Broadway right now. I am ashamed to say that I haven't yet taken my yearly pilgrimage to see any shows, but after watching the Tonys and my friend Neil Harris do a spectacular job of hosting... I have got to go to NYC! I saw HAIR when I was 9 years old in San Francisco. I am fairly certain it was the first time I saw a man naked, and I remember not being prepared to see that! But I've always love the music and can't wait to see it brought to life on stage again. I thought that Shrek looked really fun - I can't believe that Christopher Siebert does the entire play on his knees. Really, how does he do that??

I loved the opening number from HAIR where all of the nominated players came out and joined in on "Let the Sun Shine" after Shrek and Liza and Dolly Parton and many more. Also, poor Brett Michaels smashed his face in at the end of his number! I just thought the whole evening was great and it was so wonderful so see so many journeyman actors win (Greg Jbarra, Marcia Gay Harden, Alice Ripley and so many others).

American Idol auditions are starting up and AreUaStar.com is going to be there, passing out our cool new postcards to the crowds! We start in Boston on Sunday, then on to Atlanta, Chicago, LA, Dallas and more! I'll let you know how it goes.

I also wanted to share that "Maneater" aired during the last weekend of May and did fantastic numbers for Lifetime. The reviews of the cast were, without exception, stellar. We are very proud of the cast and looking forward to working with Lifetime again soon.
