A new article in today's Toronto Star about the new Broadway Mrs. Wilkinson:

http://www.thestar.com/article/704085

There's a quote in the article that'll be sure to endear Ms. Hennig to our English Forum members:

The 47 year-old Hennig ("I'm proud of my age!") was born in Harlow, northeast of London, to Canadian parents.

Her father, she relates, "was a Lutheran minister who went to England to convert the heathens,"

:D :D :D :D

Kate is now blogging on the Billy Elliot Broadway site, and it is truly wonderful! Check out her blog here: http://www.billyelliotbroadway.com/blog/

This was part of her entry on Sept. 30:
So... Friday I'm sitting in the house for the first part of the Act 2 rehearsal because I don’t go on for a while, and I am watching the young, completely edible Alex Ko do the dream ballet with sound and flying and Stephen Hanna, the older Billy. And I'm telling you... I couldn't help myself... the tears were streaming down my face. And when the rehearsal stopped to check a few technical things and go again, I turned around to find Carole Shelley and many other members of the company equally verklempt. It's a stunning moment of theatre making. Stunning.
