Norbert Leo Butz in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
I never knew what he would do next. Surprising and crazily committed.
Sherie Rene Scott in Everyday Rapture
A beautifully written (Dick Scanlan) and performed, personal journey by an uber talent.
Beautifully understated and vulnerable. I can still see her effortless descent of the stairs in that giant hoop dress.
Danny Burstein in Drowsy Chaperone
Just a brilliant comic performance. Physical and hilarious. He killed every time he set foot on the stage!
Fresh, funny and the best opening number in memory: I was introduced to every character I would spend the next two glorious hours with, in the first 7 minutes. Brilliant!
So much heart. Quirkily comedic, beautifully sung and very sexy.
So incredibly focused and imperious. She scared, delighted and commanded everyone watching.
The original cast of Les Miserables
Musically lush and emotionally epic.
Bill Irwin and David Shiner in Fool Moon
A mind boggling, hilarious display of the high art of clowning. Crazy physicality and ingeniously creative.

I was involved, as a producer for Theatre Raleigh in North Carolina of this beautiful Jeanine Tesori jewel. We had a beautiful central performance by Lauren Kennedy. Every night I witnessed the audience battling wave after wave of honest emotion.
