NYSD Reviews NYFOS Gala

Lots of gossip and pictures over at New York Social Diary recounting a wonderful gala for my beloved New York Festival of Song.

Hal Prince was the honoree for the evenings festivities, which were chaired by Jamie Bernstein, Barbara Fleischman, Mary Rodgers and Henry Guettel, and John Kander.

This was deep Broadway at its best. Joel Grey was there, Carol Burnett (with whom I had a nice chat), even Max Rudin.

Steve Blier hosted a concert at Weill (Carnegie) Hall, and then presided over dinner at Shelley's.

Midway through dinner, Alix Corey, who is currently starring in "All Shook Up" at the Palace Theater, and who had just taken the N train up to Shelley's, stood up and sang David Friedman's "I Want to Be Rich, Famous, and Powerful" to a room full of the rich, famous and powerful. I nearly choked on my veal, it was so funny.

Enough name dropping for now.
