BACKSTAGE with The Write Teacher(s): #DUETSat54, Part 1
Hello Beautiful People, DUETS with The Write Teacher(s) is on Friday. Cue feelings of pure joy + glee, mixed with just an element of stress, which, as any director/producer will tell you, is natural, especially when you’re dealing with a cast over twenty.

Smash Hour
Hello Beautiful People, One hour. 3,600 seconds. 6o minutes. ONE HOUR. That’s how long it took for the Hit List Concert at 54 Below to sell out. And oh my goodness, what a beautiful thing. I’m going to go ahead and say it now, perhaps that was the worst move NBC did, canceling this show…
