Allow me to add my voice to the others above. I had the pleasure of seeing Mostly Sondheim, and it is really quite remarkable. If you have never experienced Barbara Cook live, you owe it to yourself now. And if you have, why not go see her again? Conservatively speaking, she's fantastic.

Sweet Smell of Success

Last night's performance of The Fantasticks was held dearly by all in attendance. There was a lot of coverage on it, but what was not said was that this show is so important to so many careers in many ways. There are many Matts and Luisas who got their Equity card on Sullivan Street. There are many actors who at times were in between jobs and popped back into the show for a few weeks to get some pocket money and their health benefit weeks. That's the kind of producer Lore Noto is. The Fantasticks was a business... but it was a family business. And the world is a little sadder today, but grateful that we had 42 years to cherish it.
