Rosie's Broadway Kids officially celebrated its new home on Monday January 26th as the Maravel Arts Center had a ribbon cutting ceremony to open the re-modeled facility to the press. Located in the heart of the Broadway community, on 45th Street, Rosie O'Donnell's 'Rosie's For All Kids Foundation will now have two dance studios, a music studio, library, dressing rooms and much more in its new location. Rosie's Kids provided the entertainment at the event, which drew such starry guest as Chita Rivera, Linda Dano and Broadway couple Orfeh and Andy Karl. One of many highlights was the 'Kids' performing Arthur Schwartz's classic tune 'Rhode Island Is Famous for You'-but they changed the words to 'Long Island' for Rosie, which the crowd just loved. The Maravel Arts Center is named for O'Donnell's teacher, Pat Maravel, who she said was an 'inspirational force' in her formative years.
