And Ripley-Grier was just plain buzzing today with activity. On my way back from lunch, I happened to run into director, Eric Schaeffer, in the lobby. Eric's rehearsing the new Kathie Lee Gifford show, Hurricane Amy based on the life of Amy Semple McPherson (sp?). Consequently, Carolee Carmello was also there. The whole Sweeney Todd gang was also there again - Michael Cerveris, Patti LuPone, etc. -Then the aforementioned Phantom gang - Hal Prince, Gillian Lynne, etc. Oh, and Megan Lawrence - who I had just seen as Lucetta in Two Gentlemen of Verona was also having lunch down in the lobby.
Only in New York.
