In one of the most unexpected yet somehow perfect pairings in theater history, Rosie O’Donnell is now playing Harvey Fierstein’s wife in the cast of Fiddler on the Roof. Last evening marked O’Donnell’s first official performance as Golde in the revival. Here she is during her curtain call, being cheered on by Harvey and the cast.
Among the celebs on hand for the show: TV star Fran Drescher…
…Christine Ebersole, who’ll be starring in Grey Gardens at Playwrights Horizons later this season…
…and TV talk show hostess turned musical theater writer Kathie Lee Gifford, whose new show Saving Aimee is set to open on October 14 at the White Plains Performing Arts Center.
Here’s a shot of Rosie and Harvey after the show, looking very much the happy couple.
The second annual Broadway Unplugged concert, held at The Town Hall on Monday night, was a huge success. Spotted at the after-party, held at Trattoria Dopo Teatro, were several of the cast members with friends. Here’s Marc Kudisch, who sang “Fate” from Kismet in the concert, with Mary Testa, who sang “The Thrill Is Gone” from George White’s Scandals of 1931.
Also seen at the party: Taboo star Euan Morton, who sang “On the Street Where You Live” from My Fair Lady, seen here with cabaret doyenne Jamie de Roy…
…Mary Bond Davis (right), who gave a fabulously torchy rendition of “I Got a Right to Sing the Blues” from The Earl Carroll Vanities, with radio talk show host and Forbidden Broadway alum Christine Pedi…
…Deven May (left), who received a well-deserved ovation for his beautiful performance of “Being Alive” from Company, with Sherrie Austin, his co-star in the New York Musical Theatre Festival show The Ballad of Bonnie & Clyde…
…Broadway and cabaret legend Julie Wilson…
…and Scott Siegel, the concert’s producer-writer-host, with wife Barbara.
