NEW YORK (AP) — Backstage in a tiny room at the Walter Kerr Theatre on Broadway, four theater buffs are geeking out.
"This
is Angela Lansbury's dressing room!" one says, referring to the time
when the "Murder She Wrote" star was in a revival of Stephen Sondheim's
"A Little Night Music."
"Yes!" says another, looking around.
"And Bernadette Peters," says a third.
"Bernadette was upstairs, I think," corrects another.
To be backstage is clearly something these four relish. But they're not just passing through: They've moved in.
Patti
Murin, Liz Mikel, Josh Segarra and Lindsay Nicole Chambers are starring
in "Lysistrata Jones," a musical update of Aristophanes' play
"Lysistrata" by Douglas Carter Beane. Half have been on Broadway before,
but as understudies. It marks the first time all four are originating a
Broadway part.
