RICKY MARTIN, ELENA ROGER, MICHAEL CERVERIS AND THE CAST OF EVITA ON THE VIEW!

admin — Wed, 09 May 2012 15:55:11 +0000

EVITA’s Ricky Martin, Elena Roger and Michael Cerveris cozied up with the ladies from The View on Tuesday to chat about the hit production of EVITA (which recently broke the Marquis Theatre Box Office Record for the third time with a weekly gross of $1,533,055). Ricky discussed his return to Broadway and what it’s like to be working with the EVITA “dream team;” Elena talks about the challenges of flexing her “Spanish muscles” as the iconic Eva Peron and Michael, recently nominated for a 2012 Tony Award, detailed hit “eBay obsession” and how he prepared for his performance as the legendary Juan Peron.

Later in the program, Ricky Martin, Elena Roger, and the cast of EVITA performed the show-stopping number “And the Money Kept Rolling In” from the 2012 Tony Award Nominated Best Revival! Click HERE to watch the interview and then performance that brought the house down Tuesday on The View!

PLAYBILL.COM HOSTS “CUE & A” WITH GHOST’S BRYCE PINKHAM

admin — Mon, 07 May 2012 17:57:30 +0000

Bryce Pinkham is currently haunting audiences at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in GHOST, but the self-admitted “clown” is no real life bad guy. Last week, Bryce filled out Playbill.com’s “Cue & A” Questionnaire to let fans know a little bit about who he is when he’s not onstage as villain Carl Bruner. Bryce talks about his favorite audition song (“My Heart Will Go On”) his guilty pleasure song (“Party in the USA”), and his dreams of “strutting his stuff” as Miss Oda Mae Brown!
