When in New York at Thursday there's only one thing to do: Go to Seth Rudetsky's Broadway Chatterbox at Don't tell Mama. Seth invites some stars of the Broadway Musical scene - they chat and then sing some songs. We were very lucky that Seth invited Natalie Toro and Kevin Early - they are starring in Tales of the City - which due to the economic crisis will close in two weeks. It was fun and interesting to hear about life as a broadway star. The re-auditions, the 8 performances a week and the suddenly endings of shows. It is very tough. Natalie and Kevin sang brilliantly  and Seth was A-Maz-ing: Brava! (what ever).

Broadway was empty by the way: restaurants were half full - tickets available. The crisis really struck hard here.
