On Septembet 14th in the Heart of Times Square, 60 New York City Theatre Professionals (ranging from Broadway Veterans, to Radio City Rockettes) began to arise from the hustle and bustle to sing and dance their hearts out about the hottest nail product on the market: Shellac, created by CND (www.CND.COM). This was one of the biggest and most exciting Musical Theatre Flashmob's ever produced in Times Square, not just a random step touch dance number but a fully stage production number with ladies belting their faces and kicking about as high as the second floor of the A.E.A building.

It was written, directed, choreographed and produced by Unique New York Productions (www.UniqueNewYorkProductions.com) run by two NYC Actors themselves Mike Kirsch (Death Takes A Holiday, Asst. Choreo.) and Brian Golub ("When In Rome"). Starring Broadway's Robyn Hurder (Grease, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Chicago) and Moeisha McGill (Rent, Mamma Mia), this mob created a huge crowd lining up the streets and pressing their faces against windows of buildings as these leading ladies belted out "S-H-E-L-L-A-C" - a parody to Aretha Franklin's "R-E-S-P-E-C-T." Broadway's J.Elaine Marcos (Priscilla, A Chorus Line, Wedding Singer, "Morning Glory") and Kaitlyn Davidson (Pride and Pejudice, NYMF, They're Playing Our Song, Actor's fund) started off the event as news reporters awaiting the arrival of a celebrity "Heidi Vanicek"(played by Hurder). McGill interrupts the interview and the chaos begins! Before you know it a sea of 60 girls dressed in red CND/Shellac T-shirts flood the island. What happens when the cops stop them...watch and find out! (hint...the cops may take their shirts off!) Watch
