Amphibian Stage Productions

Yes, I am writing another blog, I know that i said Meryl Streep was my last blog, but I am sort of addicted to writing these things and it’s some pretty good memories, that i don’t want to forget! The Kevin Kline nose at last night’s show, Thursday, the 13th of December went for a whopping $3,000. The nose is auctioned in order to raise proceeds for Broadway Cares Equity Fights Aids. My what a bidding war that was! The nose is autographed by Mr. Kline and Ms. Garner. Needless to say it was rather exciting.
David Leveaux was being wrangled by the sweet Jennifer Garner to the party he had no idea about. We set up a surprise party for him at the Paramount hotel across the street from the theater. Jennifer brought David to the lounge and we all yelled surprise, and he look on his face was too precious. His reation was pure surprise. In attendance were several David Leveaux alums, Sally Murphy from Fiddler and currently in August Osage County, The exquisite cast of Cyrano of course, Rufus Sewell, now in Rock N Roll, and Harvey Fierstein, who is starring in his own musical he wrote, directed by John Doyle, who directed Sweeney Todd. I spoke with Harvey for a while, and he has this voice you know, that carries, and yet is hard to understand sometimes. He said, ” John wants us to play instruments, or find a way for the actors to play some sort of instrument, but the only instrument I play is the skin flute.” I said, ” I can’t believe you just said that!!!! He laughed jokingly, and I said (like a moron) “You write?” and Jv Mercanti, who cast Cyrano and s an amphibian director, said, “Hello!!!! La Cage Aux Folles!, Torch Song Trilogy!” I was so embarrassed, and Harvey said, “Oh I love young actors!” I said please excuse my lack of knowedge, he was very sweet about the whole thing.
