Hello, diva lovers! Well, I must admit it was a bit daunting to open a blank Word Perfect document this past Tuesday morning to attempt to write a millennium-based diva column while finishing our January subscription issue and starting our February theatre edition. At one point I decided I would just write a regular weekly column and not deal with the approaching 2000 mark, but then I thought I would simply list many of the women of the musical theatre/cabaret worlds who have brightened our lives throughout the past few decades. So, in alphabetical order, here they are. (I’m sure I’ve left out many of your favorites, so please excuse any omission!) Following this grand diva list are more detailed thoughts and musings about some (but not all) 25 of my very favorite gals (alphabetically, of course). I hope you enjoy reading this column, and may the New Year bring every diva lover out there much joy and happiness, and may it also be diva-filled!

The Star decreed that it would be an old-fashioned opening night so, after Terrence McNally's Deuce had done its 95-minute stuff, first-nighters poured out of the Music Box on May 6 and, cutting-the-butter through Shubert Alley, made their way to Sardi's.

Liza Minnelli did great business taking over for Julie Andrews in Victor/Victoria in January. Whoopi Goldberg is having a personal triumph as Nathan Lane's successor in the revival of A Funny Thing..... Last week I saw Faith Prince, whose reputation has been built on her gift for comic brassiness, take on what was for her an utterly uncharacteristic role, that of Mrs. Anna , in the wonderful revival of The King and I that recently began its second year.

LES MIZ HITS 10
There was a good deal of pressure on the new company assembled to celebrate the 10th New York anniversary of Les Miserables; it's no secret that last fall a sizable shakeup of the Broadway production occurred, with the management dismissing a number of principal performers, asking others to re-audition, and bringing in many new ones. Then too, the 10th anniversary of Les Miz in London in 1995 was celebrated by a gala concert featuring a handpicked cast of veterans and telecast and enjoyed throughout the world.
