Nothin' Like a Dame reports
Broadwayworld reports that the charity show raised a whopping $300 000 for The Phyllis Newman Women's Health Initiative.
Recap of all the night's acts on Broadway Pulse
Review from Broadwayworld forum members who attended.
Cynthia Nixon, Julianna Margulies and Jennifer Ehle read a section of "The Heidi Chronicles" as a tribute to Wendy Wasserstein... I wasn't sure how they were going to do a tribute to her in the middle of a show that was mostly singing, but, I thought it worked well.

The Wendy Wasserstein Tribute was really good too, as perhaps embarassingly, I'm not familiar with "The Heidi Chronicles." Twas a great monolugue shared by the 3 performers.
Hey I just thought I post a little stage door encounter -after the Nothin' Like A Dame show. I stumbled onto this site about two days before the show and as a Ms. Ehle fan thought I should go see it. I was actually looking up trivia about The River King - which I had just watched. Anyway, the show was extremely good and I had a lot of fun. Afterwards I waited to get an autograph and she was extremely polite. This is considering the fact I had planned on being very cool and casual but when push came to shove I barely got the words out to ask for her autograph!! Ms. Ehle is the only celebrity I have ever met let alone tried to encounter. The whole time I was overcome with the thought "WOW she's really tall." As a note - be prepared if you meet her - she's really tall! Her mother was equally as pleasant and now I have some very nice pictures!
ReplyDeleteHaha have to admit that I checked to see if anyone said anything about my comment now don't I... lol!
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere on this site where Jen Ehle disapproves of candid pictures of her online and I can respect that. She did after all sign my book "Best wishes."
Nah, it appears we misunderstood about that - candid photos are acceptable after all. But no pressure if you're uncomfortable with it :)
ReplyDeleteHey, would you mind if we posted your story as a blog post? Not everyone reads the comments, and this is one of the few Nothin' Like a Dame reports we've had.
Oh no I don't mind sharing the photos I just didn't want to do anything I wasn't supposed to! As for the stage story do with as you wish - as an extra tidbit Rosemary Harris asked me which direction 8th Ave was after taking a picture with her --- they were headed to the cast party.
