The Roundabout Theatre Company’s revival of 110 in the Shade opened last night at Studio 54. At the show’s after-party, star Audra McDonald looked 180 degrees different than she does in her onstage role of “plain” Lizzie Curry.
The opening night attendees included the always elegant Jane Alexander…
…Lily Rabe and her mom Jill Clayburgh, who are both nominated for the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Featured Actress in a Play…
…pop singer Nellie McKay, who was on stage last season at Studio 54 in the Roundabout’s Threepenny Opera…
…ABC newswoman Diane Sawyer, who came to the show with her husband, Spamalot director Mike Nichols…
…Julie White, a likely Tony Award nominee for her brilliant work in The Little Dog Laughed…
…and Kathleen Marshall, whose new production of Grease bows on Broadway in July.
On Tuesday, August WIlson’s final play, Radio Golf officially opened at the Cort Theatre. Here’s leading lady Tonya Pinkins, who plays political speechwriter Mame Wilks.
The opening was a very special night for Wilson’ s widow, Constanza Romero…
…and for Tony-winners Leslie Uggams and Phylicia Rashad, who respectively starred in the Broadway production of Wilson’s King Hedley II and Gem of the Ocean.
That same evening, Time magazine held its 100 Most Influential People in the World gala at Jazz at Lincoln Center. Among the wonderful women on hand for the event were Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett, who starred in BAM’s production of Hedda Gabler…
…Golden Globe Award winner America Ferrera, who is quite beautiful when not playing the heroine of ABC’s smash hit TV series Ugly Betty…
…and the fabulously funny Tina Fey, creator and co-star of NBC’s acclaimed comedy 30 Rock.
Manhattan Theatre Club held its annual Spring Gala on Monday night. The divine Allison Janney — soon to be seen in the film version of Hairspray and the Williamstown Theatre Festival production of The Autumn Garden — was the evening’s gorgeous host.
