Julie Halston News

As Douglas Carter Beane’s new comedy begins rehearsals today, Producer Thomas Laub announced that Kristolyn Lloyd has joined the cast of Douglas Carter Beane’s comedy Fairycakes as Peaseblossom replacing Alfie Fuller who has departed due to scheduling conflicts.

When Susie Mosher has Julie Halston on the guest list, anything can happen... and usually does.

Birdland, the world-famous jazz club, features two of these latter-day vaudeville offshoots. Jim Caruso's Cast Party has been a staple of Birdland for years, serving as Broadway's open mic experience. But every Tuesday evening, Susie Mosher presides over a somewhat more curated and far more ribald variety show in Birdland's downstairs theatre. THE LINEUP is not an open mic. Mosher puts together its guests each week. They are from every echelon of show business, from Tony winners to new up-and-coming artists. They often have nothing in common except for a wild amount of talent. Susie Mosher serves as the host of the evening. She is a combination of den mother, improv artist, and Tasmanian devil. Her wit is faster than lightning and she can turn on a dime into a fantastic chanteuse. I was lucky enough to catch the latest edition of THE LINEUP this evening.
