I have been watching the Bradley/Matusow Primary saga from Florida. Your web site is the most up-to-date, in-depth around. It's great for out-of-towners who want to keep up on news at home. I've found it more useful than The Journal News. You never skip a beat. It's the next best thing to being there.

WPCNR STAGE DOOR. From City Center Dance. April 2, 2006: On Sunday April 23, at the Students from City Center Dance in White Plains along with over 100 other young dancers from all over Westchester County will dance their toes off to raise money for Dancers Responding to AIDS (DRA), a program of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS (BC/EFA) in an event aptly titled "STARS OF TOMORROW, givine back today"
Money raised by these young dancers ages 7 years to 18 years will not only support performing artists nationwide but will bring continued support to the BC/EFA National Grants Program – In 2005 $55,000 was awarded to 9 AIDS & Family service organizations in Westchester & Rockland.
This year, STARS OF TOMORROW … giving back today, will feature a special performance by Tony Award™ nominee, New Rochelle resident ANDREA MCARDLE who will perform with the Purchase Dance Corps. ANDREA McARDLE is best known as the original Annie (both on Broadway and in London), a performance which earned her a Tony Award™ nomination for Best Actress in a Musical, in addition to a Theatre World and Outer Critics Circle Award. She has recently appeared at Joe’s Pub downtown and at Birdland with her one-woman show, “Andrea McArdle, NYC.” She starred as "Mama Rose" in Gypsy for the Bay Area Houston Ballet & Theatre and was in Japan where she reprised the role of “Sally Bowles” in Cabaret. The first time she played "Sally" in Japan was as a limited engagement following her starring in the U.S. National Tour. Before Cabaret she was playing another type of girl altogether, becoming Broadway’s longest running “Belle” in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. She was featured as “The Star to Be” in the new Emmy Award-winning TV movie version of Annie, on ABC TV. She has also starred on Broadway in Les Misérables, Starlight Express, and State Fair. In 1996 her television special "Andrea McArdle on Broadway" (also the title of her CD) aired on PBS. Ms. McArdle has toured with the late Liberace and the great Bob Hope and has had the privilege of singing for every U.S. president from Ford to Clinton. She is married to composer/producer Edd Kalehoff and their daughter, Alexis, is one of her frequent costars.
Tickets for "STARS OF TOMORROW .. givingn back today" can be purchased for $25 by contacting Center Dance in White Plains, The Westchester Dance Academy in Portchester, or any one of the other participating dance schools who are performing for this event.
