budurl.com - Kelli O'Hara, who won critical acclaim for his performance as the original Nellie Forbush in this revival, will be performing for the Broadcast special, alongside original Emile de Becque, Paulo Szot. Every best effort was made to recruit original Captain Cable, Matthew Morrison, for the special performance, however his GLEE production schedule made his return impossible. At the time Mr. Szot pronounced shot was in town for a weeklong exploratory workshop. To him it felt more like exploratory surgery, performed on his own psyche. A rising opera star but a Broadway virgin at 38, he was as unfamiliar with the world he was entering as it was of him. Paulo Szot, fresh off his hugely successful run in South Pacific on Broadway, will play the lead role in Don Giovanni next season. It's amazing that Barihunks even got this information as MOT is the worst opera company on the planet in listing complete casts. budurl.com

The best of Broadway came together last night to honor a legend of the American musical theater. The late composer Frank Loesser was honored at the American Theater Wing's Annual Spring Gala last night. Loesser is best known for composing music for shows including "Guys and Dolls" and "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying." He won Tony Awards for both and a Pulitzer Prize for the latter. He also won an Oscar for the song "Baby, It's Cold Outside." The tribute featured performances by Megan Mullally, Kelli O'Hara, and Harry Connick Junior. "When I heard the name Frank Loesser, I was in," said Connick Jr. "I mean, he's one of the greats of all time and I've sung his music for a long time." Loesser passed away from cancer in 1969. His widow Jo was in attendance and received an award at last night's event. Later this month would have marked Loesser's 100th birthday. www.ny1.com
