ith Michael Winther. He, by the way, is responsible for “33 Variations” winning the Broadway Cares skit and is about the nicest person one could ever meet. Played one of the husbands in “Mama Mia,” fantastic singer. His new CD is “Song’s From An Unmade Bed.” Right now he is understudying Beethoven and Diabelli. (Photo: Bruce Glikas)

I joined Zach, Samantha and Colin at the Hilton Hotel for the Spring Road Conference. Many of this season’s plays did panels for the people from around the country. This is why it’s called a “road” conference–it brings people from out there, on the road–people who are involved in theatre–regional theatre and bringing Broadway plays to their cities.

Last night Cecile Richards and her daughter Lily came to see the show. Cecile is the daughter of former Texas Governor, the amazing, indominable Ann Richards who died of cancer two years ago.

Diane Von Furstenberg came backstage after the show, very moved, enthusiastic and generous about the play.

Last night Kerry Washington saw the play and came back. She loved it. We will be making a film together later in the year and are good friends. She was so happy for me, seeing me in such an exciting, strong play. She just finished a film co-starring Annette Bening and Naomi Watts. This may be the film that allows her to show what a powerful, deep actor she is. We hung out in my dressing for about an hour.

Also backstage came the beautiful red head twins, Kimberly (my Pilates teacher) and Katherine with their husbands. They are the nicest women. If everyone in the world had their moral fiber we’d be in good shape.
