In the audience at last night's concert were special guests, including Marisa Tomei, Liza Minnelli and Billy Stritch. Lady Gaga recognized both from the stage, and told a story to the audience about how Minnelli was an inspiration to her. She talked about her origins at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, mentioning how her acting and performance teachers told her she didn't have what it took, essentially, to 'be a superstar.' 'You'll never be the main character... the blonde... your hair's too dark... you look too ethnic' To retort in the face of such opposition, Gaga would reply, 'What about Liza?' She then asked the audience to give Liza a standing ovation, which they did to an obviously thrilled Minnelli. The moment was filmed, though there's no word if it'll make the cut for her May 7th TV special. Here's hoping! Afterwards, Liza and her longtime brilliant musical collaborator and friend Billy Stritch made their way backstage and Stritch was kind enough to share his personal photos with BroadwayWorld.com.

Dan Wackerman, Artistic Director and frequent stage director for the Peccadillo Theatre Company, has regularly displayed a golden touch for mounting crackling revivals of long-forgotten Broadway plays like Elmer Rice's Counsellor-at-Law, Dorothy Parker and Arnaud d'Usseau's The Ladies of the Corridor and, in an absolutely hilarious mounting, John Murray and Alan Boretz's Room Service. But with Charles MacArthur's 1942 political screwball farce, Johnny On A Spot, he and his Peccadillo cohorts attempt their toughest feat of alchemy yet in belief that this 4-performance Broadway flop was an unfortunate victim of the public's squelched taste for satire a mere month after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The Peccadillo Theater Company is pleased to announce the cast for their production Charles MacArthur's classic screwball comedy JOHNNY ON A SPOT.
