Favorite Birthday presents:
Well, I would be remiss if I didn't note that on my 6th birthday, an older cousin gave me the original Broadway cast recording of THE MUSIC MAN - - my first cast album! Look where it got me!
The two New York Birthdays would have to be mentioned, too:
First year, first run, first cast of LES MISERABLES.
Fortieth Birthday: Julie in VICTOR/VICTORIA, Jim Stanek giving me a tour of the set of A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM, performing the majority of my cabaret DREAMERS after hours at DON'T TELL MAMA'S (I was the only one singing, so the managemen kept buying me drinks to make me sing more) and that cute German guy at the bar at Don't Tell Mama's. . .and, btw, when I drink, I don't get drunk, but, when I'm drunk, I'm beautiful. . .get it? got it? good.
