POKER FACE! |
| |
 Susan
played in the Budd Friedman Celebrity Invitational Poker Tournament at
Harrah's in Las Vegas July 30-August 2nd!! We were anxious to see if
her television poker obsession had taught her anything at all!
Did her ingénue expressions confuse the professionals?
Actually, she did really well. She may have lost, but it was
with a full house of Ace's and Queens -- would you believe that her
opponent ended up with 4 Queens, to take the hand? So, although
Susan didn't win, she lasted an admirable amount of time and went out
with a more than respectable hand. But, all was not lost, as Susan
retreated to the Blackjack tables, from where she walked away with a
hefty little profit!! Brava, Susan!!! |

|
COFFEE HOUSE RELEASE! |
| |
 FINALLY!!
Susan's THIRD solo CD is almost here -- July 15th online and September
7th in stores!!! COFFEE HOUSE is a new musical blend that
reflects how the worlds of Broadway, pop and classic rock have
recently begun to merge. It celebrates the kind of music once
played in those local hangs 30-40 years ago – great story songs with
an acoustic texture – fused with contemporary interpretations
created by Egan and her long-time friend, producer, arranger and
orchestrator, Christopher McGovern. You’ll hear Terrence
Mann (Egan’s costar in Broadway’s Beauty and the Beast)
singing a Janis Ian duet, an Alan Menken/David Zippel pop song cut
from the animated film Hercules, and Jerry Herman’s latest
jazz tune from his new musical Miss Spectacular set along side
great new theatre/cabaret composers and classic artists such as Cat
Stevens, Kate Bush and Joni Mitchell. The worlds of these writers are
no longer far apart! Click

MILLIE CLOSING
|
| |
 June
21 marked the closing performance for Susan as Millie in Broadway's
Thoroughly Modern Millie! For Susan, the closing was bittersweet –
she says, "I’ll miss the truly marvelous group of people on
and off stage at the Marquis Theatre – BUT the show had a great run
and our closing was something special. Our lovely producers sent
us out with a riotous party – see pictures!! And having only
had one week off – I’ve already gained FOUR pounds!!
Needless to say I’ve stopped eating the Millie-high-caloric-diet
now. =) I think its under control at this point! Oy.
Big thanks to the cast and crew and production team and most of all
Mary Ann the master-Millie-dresser who made my stay so great!! And to
Karen who flew out for the shin-dig!"
