Patty Duke and Stephen R. Buntrock — the new stars of Oklahoma! on Broadway — were on hand at Grand Central Station last evening for a brief public concert to kick off this year’s “Season of Savings” promotion by the Empire State Development Corporation and the League of American Theatres and Producers.

Buntrock was a favorite with the rush-hour crowd, singing “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’!”…

…and the one and only Roz Ryan offered a hot-hot-hot rendition of “When You’re Good to Mama” from Chicago.

Anne Heche and Len Cariou during curtain calls after the final performance of Proof on January 5 at the Walter Kerr Theatre.

At Proof‘s closing night party at Hurley’s Saloon, Heche was aglow…

…especially when in the company of her husband, Coley Laffoon.

Also attending the Proof celebration was former cast member Neil Patrick Harris, now starring as the Emcee in Cabaret at Studio 54.

Last night, January 6, Mark Nadler greeted Tovah Feldshuh following the first performance of Nadler’s show Tchaikowsky and Other Russians in the brand new nightclub space at the FireBird Restaurant.


Richard Dreyfuss was among the notables applauding Nadler’s show…



…as was cabaret perennial Andrea Marcovicci.

Also last evening, a few blocks away, David Raleigh entertained in the latest installment of “Jim Caruso’s Cast Party,” a weekly Monday night event in the new King Kong Room at The Supper Club.



Those having a good time at the King Kong Room included Max von Essen, a.k.a. Alfred the “factotum” in Dance of the Vampires…

…Charles Busch (c) with Eric Myers (r) and Michael Winther (l)…


…and drag king Murray Hill (r) with “his” date, Dirty Martini.
