Mary Testa posting this collage of Miss Goldberg means there are way more pictures from In Trousers 1979 that the few that I’ve seen scattered around the internet for the past four years and i will never sleep soundly again

Broadway Divas Tournament: Round 1C Audios

It's what you've been waiting for. Once again, I have compiled a small collection of personally-recorded audio bootlegs pertaining to our next sixteen Divas. Unfortunately though my 55 GB folder of audios may be vast and varied, it is exhaustive, so apologies to those I have never seen (Tyne Daly, Dee Hoty, Anika Noni Rose, Linda Emond - they've all been away from New York for so long...)

See reblog for more.

Ep62 The Finn That Makes You Go MMM w/ Mary Testa! (Broadway!)

We are wearing our finest hats- and trousers- this week, because we're joined by the immaculate Mary Testa! Say, what?! With this Broadway legend, the boys will take Van Halen's Women and Children for a test drive, plus revisit the William Finn classic, In Trousers- but has that parakeet learned to fly yet?! Plus we chat diplomacy, casting grievances, shattering wine glasses, and heaps more! Huge thanks to Alison Fraser for being the extra-special guest producer of this episode.

"Welcome to the Theatre": Diary of a Broadway Baby

54 Sings The Rink

July 22, 2024 | 54 Below | Evening | Cabaret | 1H 30M

Lights dim, and as the great Mary Testa takes the stage, out of the darkness, mid-song, an unknown white woman wearing all-black taps me on the wrist and asks if she can join me. That woman? Karen Ziemba. Yes, that's right, I got to witness the wonderous music of Kander and Ebb mere inches from a beaming Karen Ziemba.

This was just one marvelous moment in a Diva-filled night. Mary Testa gave the best rendition of "Colored Lights" I've ever heard live (sorry to SJB), Karen Mason's white hair continues to send me into cardiac arrest, Sara Gettelfinger is much taller up close and personal than I realized.

And of course, the stories and tributes to original cast member Chita Rivera... Not a dry eye in the house.

As for the actual show, The Rink was critically panned when it premiered, but I'd wager it would be more well-received if it had opened in this day and age (specifically if it had been part of last season's...low-bar quality...)

Mary Testa's "Colored Lights" for your pleasure. (Bonus points if you can hear Karen Ziemba ask to sit with me.)

Verdict: You Can Pry This Show Out of My Cold Dead Hands

'The Gardens of Anuncia' Theater Review

'The Gardens of Anuncia' is an evocative, stylized musical inspired by the childhood of Graciela Daniele.

(L to R): Priscilla Lopez, Kalyn West in The Gardens of Anuncia (Julieta Cervantes) In order to deal with the past, sometimes memories must be altered to beautify the ugliness of their reality. This is one of the themes in Michael John LaChiusa’s musical, The Gardens of Anuncia, directed and choreographed by Graciella Daniele. The Gardens of Anuncia is currently running at Lincoln Center’s Mitzi…
