Made it up to the Paramount to my usual perch at the back of the house.
Pleasantville is on stage now, rehearsing their best-overall-production performance of “Beauty and the Beast.”
Strange to see the kids I interviewed months ago out here on stage again, including previous Metros winner (and, tonight, a third-time nominee) Kathryn Faughnan as Belle. Director Kathleen Donovan-Warren is putting them through their paces—and they sound in great voice.
Stepinac’s wunderkinds Sunderland and Portanova are here with a huge contingent of actors and actresses, the company of the much-nominated “The Phantom of the Opera.”

Where are the awards and pre show interviews being broadcast? I cant find it anywhere! Does anyone have a link? This is very frustrating.
Hey, Matt: We’ll get started with the preshow in a few minutes. At http://www.lohud.com. Stepinac is rehearsing on stage right now, so we’ll likely start with their nominees…
Yes, where will we be able to find the link once it starts? Really appreciate your broadcast, and I don’t want to miss any of it!
