The Broadway premiere production of Robert Harling’s Steel Magnolias opened last night at the Lyceum Theatre, and the after-party was held at Tavern on the Green. Here are three of the show’s stars, dressed to the nines: Delta Burke wearing Ralph Lauren…
…Christine Ebersole wearing Carmen Marc Valvo…
…and Rebecca Gayheart wearing Zac Posen, with Jimmy Choo shoes!
Also last evening, Scott Siegel presented and hosted The Broadway Musicals of 1945, the latest concert in his “Broadway By the Year” series at The Town Hall. We caught up with some of the performers at the after-party, held at Tony’s DiNapoli, just down the block from The Town Hall on West 43rd Street. Here are Christiane Noll and Marc Kudisch, who performed the entire “bench scene” from Carousel without amplification in the concert…
Kerry Butler, who sang songs from Up in Central Park , Are You With It? and other shows…
…Scott Ailing, who proved to be an audience favorite in “Sigh By Night” from Marinka, “From Morning Till Night” from The Girl From Nantucket, and (with Butler) “Slightly Perfect” from Are You With It?…
…and Noah Racey, who sang and danced “I’ve Got a One Track Mind” from Billion Dollar Baby, with Nili Bassman — Racey’s co-star in last year’s production of Where’s Charley? at the Goodspeed Opera House — who was featured in several numbers in the concert.
Denzel Washington, star of the new Broadway production of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, partied with other members of the company at Gotham immediately after the production’s opening performance on Sunday.
The first-night audience for Julius Caesar was chock full of celebs. Among those present: movie star Angela Bassett, last seen on stage in NYC opposite Alec Baldwin in the Public Theater production of Macbeth….
…film and stage star Willem Dafoe…
…Katie Holmes, best known for her work on TV’s Dawson’s Creek…
…film director Spike Lee…
…Rosie Perez, recently seen on Broadway in the Manhattan Theatre Club production of Reckless…
…TV star Christopher Meloni…
…and Debbie Allen, who played the title role in the 1986 Broadway revival of Sweet Charity and choreographed the legendary 1988 production of Carrie.
