Many to this day may not be fully aware of the scope of the horrific events that transpired during Hitler's reign of tyranny over much of Europe during the Second World War. While the Jewish community was, by all accounts, the biggest targets of the Nazi's evil wave of terror, the German Gestapo also cast a wider net to include other 'undesirable' citizens they found to be non-conforming to the German/Hitler ideal of normalcy. Among these eventual victims of the Holocaust were homosexuals-particularly, gay men-whom they considered the most 'undesirable' of all. In Martin Sherman's stirring, powerful drama BENT (with performances now playing at Santa Ana's Theatre Out through May 1), we witness this incredibly appalling series of events through the eyes of a man caught between living openly and living fearfully to preserve his own survival.

The Tony® Award-winning actress will once again be gracing the stage of The Orange County Performing Arts Center's Samueli Theater to close out this year's Broadway talent-heavy Cabaret Series from April 8 thru 11. Besides her winning performance as Ms. Adelaide in the critically-acclaimed revival of Guys and Dolls, she has been balancing a rich career in film and television with a string of iconic shows on the Great White Way, which include Tony-nominated turns in A Catered Affair, Bells Are Ringing, and Jerome Robbins' Broadway. Most recently she hung up her tentacles playing the final Ursula in Disney's stage adaptation of The Little Mermaid before it closed on Broadway last year. But before she makes her triumphant cabaret return to Orange County, Ms. Prince spoke with BroadwayWorld about her upcoming show, her Tony ceremony woes, and her mission to inspire the next generation of theater actors to live out their dreams.
