Hello Friends, Being a parent often means sacrifice. Sometimes that sacrifice is huge, like a career or outlandish dream, and sometimes it’s much smaller, like a favorite shirt covered in spit-up or watching the “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse” in lieu of, say, the Mets… losing… again. And then sometimes that sacrifice is so monumental it means…
Hello Beautiful People, I’m sad to say that Murder Ballad is closing on July 21th. Truthfully, it makes me sad when any show closes, and I know many of my dearest friends and colleagues feel the same way – afterall, as artists, as actors, as writers, we should be championing for all theatre to stay…
Hello Beautiful People, It’s been almost one week since I went to the Broadhurst Theatre and my mind blown by the entire cast and crew of LUCKY GUY.

And I couldn’t be happier for the cast, crew, and creative team. For those of you who missed the memo, Matilda is a new musical, based on the beloved…
Hello Beautiful People, I have read every single novel Jodi Picoult has ever written. Every. Single. One. Her books, well, they’re like old friends They become a part of my being. They provide comfort & laughter. I get swept up in her words, her stories, and her characters. I quite literally lose myself in her words,…
Hello Beautiful People, Jekyll and Hyde has returned to Broadway, and will be playing at The Marquis Theatre for a thirteen week engagement. This dark and dangerous love story from Jeykll and Hyde ran for four years Broadway at the Plymouth Theatre, and had multiple world-wide tours. Personally, it is one of my favorite musicals and…
