1994, I was crazy in love with Sally Murphy. She was starring in the Lincoln Center theater import of Nicholas Hytner’s National Theater production of Carousel. I got a friend who works at Lincoln Center to give me a tour backstage, in hope of “running into” Sally. Long story short, I got lost and had to ask for directions. The young lady whom I asked was charming and sweet and she said: “Are you sure you’re allowed back here?” That was my first encounter with Audra McDonald. Later that day, I saw her on stage as Carrie in the show. She was wonderful – won her first Tony in the role. So it was really a treat on Saturday night at Caramoor’s opening gala concert, when she sang “When I Marry Mr. Snow.” It brought back all sorts of wonderful memories of the myriad of characters and performances I’ve seen/heard Audra do in the last (hard to believe) 30 years.
