It's "The Creature from the Midtown Pool"! I've discovered I can swim underwater much longer if I envision myself as an amphibian employed by Universal Studios! It's sort of like the Stanislavski Method meets Jacques Cousteau. (Unfortunately, female swimmers scream when they see me.) #swimming

After a milestone rehearsal today of SONATA IN THREE HOUSES. (There's something so relaxing about sitting on the floor after you reach a goal.) Onward! #rehearsal #milestone #musical #newmusical #nymusical #musicaltheatre #SonataInThreeHouses #openjarstudios

The cast of my play PETER'S CHANGING PERCEPTION (Kathleen, Jan, Jeff, Alan and Mark). The lead character of the play was a ventriloquist and casting the part was quite a challenge. We finally found Alan Semok, a wonderful performer who was also a pleasure to work with. #play #drama #nytheatre

Our first full show/full cast read-and-sing-thru of SONATA IN THREE HOUSES! I'm so excited and grateful to be working on another show with Chris and Jen, especially in a show about the power of music and friendship! #newmusical #musical #SonataInThreeHouses #nytheatre #theatre #openjarstudios

At MAYBE HAPPY ENDING (3rd time) in my MAYBE HAPPY ENDING tee shirt holding my MAYBE HAPPY ENDING program! If they made MAYBE HAPPY ENDING briefs, I'd be wearing those too (come to think of it, that would be a great name for briefs). #maybehappyending #Broadway #nymusical #nytheatre #ilovenewyork

Today was old home week at Broadway Dance Center! Not only did I get to see Deanna Doyle and take her class, I also got to catch up with old friends Daniel Schultz and Dorit Koppel! Dance and class create unbreakable bonds. What a blessing! #ballet #balletclass #dancers #johansshirt #ilovenewyork

There’s something about Bach and the harpsichord that always sounds like Christmas to me (even though this cantata was not specifically written for Christmas). #Christmas2024 #birthdaysong1713 #Bach #BachCantata #SheepMaySafelyGraze #harpsichord #Christmasmusic #holidaymusic

I can easily imagine the most disgruntled actor, the most jaded director, and the most cynical playwright feeling totally rejuvenated by THE HILLS OF CALIFORNIA. It's stunning, brilliant & devastating. #TheHillsOfCalifornia #grateful #Broadway #drama #play #nytheatre #actors #playwrights #directors

The visual and musical poetry of SWEPT AWAY is really something to behold, but it's the exuberant and passionate cast, led by John Gallagher Jr in a brilliant tour de force performance who really transported me to the middle of the sea. #SweptAwayMusical #broadway #nytheatre #ilovenewyork

I'm so grateful for the opportunity to see Mia Farrow in THE ROOMMATE tonight (she was out when I saw the play before). She's giving a heartfelt, funny and moving performance and takes the stage with poise, power and impeccable timing. #TheRoommate #Broadway #nytheatre #BoothTheatre #ilovenewyork

Tonight at Geffen Hall, Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Minor was even more dazzling than I anticipated with the brilliant Israeli-American pianist Yefim Bronfman playing and the great conductor Paavo Jarvi leading the New York Philharmonic! #NYPhilharmonic #LincolnCenter #ilovenewyork

This elegant portrait of Michelle Obama by Sharon Sprung is my favorite "contemporary" painting that I saw at The White House last month. It captures her elegance and a sense of confidence and determination, free of sentimentality or self-consciousness. #painting #TheWhiteHouse #MichelleObama
