The third Broadway revival of the brilliant Jule Styne-Stephen Sondheim-Arthur Laurents musical Gypsy opened last night at the Shubert Theatre. Here, star Bernadette Peters and director Sam Mendes celebrate during the after-party at Gustavino’s.
Also at the Gypsy party: Broadway star Nathan Lane, here with Arthur Laurents.
Among the celebrities who attended the Gypsy opening was Sam Mendes’s main squeeze, Kate Winslet.
Prior to the performance, Peters and the show’s “Hollywood Blondes” participated in the traditional — and, in this case, particularly apt — Gypsy Robe ceremony at the theater.
Now that the theater awards season is upon us, rarely a night goes by without a major opening. Here’s Al Pacino at The Whiskey during the after party for Salome, which opened on Wednesday, April 30…
…and here’s Pacino’s co-star, Marisa Tomei. She plays the title role of the Judean princess who really wants to get a head.
April 29 marked the opening of Enchanted April at the Belasco. Here’s Molly Ringwald taking her curtain call…
…and here are two of Ringwald’s co-stars, Michael Cumpsty and Jayne Atkinson, at Pier 60 for the party after the show.
Not every fabulous opening happens on Broadway. Here’s the great Keely Smith singing her heart out on the first night of her current engagement at Feinstein’s at the Regency.
Celebs on hand at the MCC Spring Benefit Gala on Monday, April 28: Kristin Chenoweth…

We leave you with two photos taken at the New York Friars Club, where this year’s Drama Desk Award nominations were announced on Thursday morning, May 1. Here are producer Marty Richards and Broadway star Judy Kaye, who read the list of nominees…
…and here’s Robert R. Blume (left), executive producer of the annual Drama Desk Awards, with Jim Caruso, who will be co-hosting TheaterMania’s webcast of the event on Sunday, May 18.
