Billy Crystal's Oscar Montage

Proving once again that he's a great Oscar host, Billy Crystal opens with his trademark montage of Best Picture nominees. Helping him with the bit is Broadway's Marc Shaiman. Always a great music man, Mr. Shaiman wrote the number for the opening.

Live on Broadway

If you're in New York City on a Wednesday, stop by the Times Square Visitor Center to watch a taping of Seth Rudetsky's Sirius XM Live on Broadway radio program. It starts at 12 noon and runs for an hour.

Look out for the very entertaining security guard Wilbur Tune, yes like Tommy Tune. And Wilbur from Charlotte's Web. A true theatre geek himself, he was keeping order throughout the proceedings.
The amah-zing Seth Rudetsky
I had the good fortune to see the team from Catch Me if You Can this past Wednesday. Marc Shaiman, Scott Wittman, and Aaron Tveit gave a sneak preview of the cast album, available digitally on the 23rd of May. The CD will be in stores on 28 June.
Aaron had to leave to catch his 2 PM matinee.

This was the Showtune Showdown. That's Broadway Bob on the right. Of course, Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman won. They were playing for an elderly lady who was in the audience.

Here's Aaron Tveit singing one of the songs from the show.
