Maria interpreted 'Defying Inequality' with Lou last night.... And after they ran around the apartment, ate chinese food with each lap, decided what to wear, got the wrinkles out, and a bottle of red wine later - they both were thrilled they had the opportunity to be involved with this performance. An amazing ensemble of B'way performers gave up their night off to partake in this event that raised funds to help fight the discrimination happening in this country. Some other actors involved last night were Nathan lane, Allison Janney, Cyndi Lauper, Harvey Fierstein, Judy Gold, Carson Kressley, David Hyde Pierce, Jane Fonda, so many more, and then probably casts from 10 different Broadway shows.
These three guys were FAB, and the video does not do them justice!
A huge highlight (for me!) was when cast members from Sesame Street came out and sang 'Sing a Song' - Maria, Luis, Bob, and Gordan. (i was totally star struck!) No one has posted anything on YouTube as of yet, but YA KNOW that will be posted on this blog when/if someone does. :-)
An improv group called Don't Quit Your Night Job did a thing called 'Musical MadLibs' which was so funny. Audience members called out nouns, verbs, etc etc, and then the big surprise was the fact that Bebe Neuwith came out and sang our creation to 'All That Jazz'. Found a video!
Unfortunately, Clara called in sick today. So Maria contacted the agencies she had booked with for the day so she could hang out Cooper instead.
