Just make sure your kid will be thoroughly embarrassed in the future. Like mine.
NEW CHALLENGE:
If you dress your kid up like Phantom from Phantom of the Opera and you send a photo to me for publication, [...]
Now that summer’s kicked into gear I can truly start to relax again and resume my New Year’s resolution to appreciate funny.
God bless funny. Save blog-gold from two of my favorite funny ladies, Wendi Aarons and Ann Imig (seriously, subscribe to their blogs — you’ll be glad you did), everything from the Broadway season (way too much [...]
So that kid of yours has just gotta be the next Billy Elliot on Broadway or maybe your adorable Mackensee wants to be the next Little Cosette at your local theatre group? The Mama Rose Files will help you be the best Stage-Mama you can be.

There is a lot of baggage associated with the term “Stage Mother.” [...]
Here are my thoughts on the 2010 Tony Awards ceremony broadcast live on CBS taken from mental notes written in between the dinner dishes, two kids in the bath, laundry to fold, three work deadlines and a seriously messed up laptop. I’m sure there will be more to come later in the week.
64th Annual Tony Awards on [...]
The Universe is trying to tell me something. Here’s a quick recap on my past two weeks.
I enjoyed myself tremendously at two fantastic Broadway shows recently that unbeknownst to me, were rooted in religion and a quest for spiritual enlightenment. First up was “Next Fall” – a play that explores themes on religion, love and family. [...]
Recently, I sat down with six of the most sought after opinion-shapers in popular culture (in my world, anyway) to have a lively conversation about the state of entertainment.

Alexis 5 years old, with an endearing voice (reminiscent of Lauren [...]
Lucy had her dance recital on Sunday and I am happy to report there was no bumping, grinding or flailing from the preschoolers in her Intro to Tap & Ballet: Level 1 group.
There was, unfortunately, a bordering-on-hysterical parent who would just not stop complaining (loudly) about how much everything cost. If you don’t want to pay $40 [...]
Back when my nearly six-year-old daughter Lucy was born, I had the cleverest of ideas. I began collecting books that I wanted her to read at different stages of her young adult life. Each book was placed lovingly into a green box with a Post-It™ note affixed to the book’s cover telling Lucy at what [...]
An open letter to Ramen Setoodeh, Newsweek reporter who wrote a poisonous missive entitled “Straight Jacket” asserting homosexual actors are unable to play heterosexual characters well, and blasting StageMama’s boys Sean Hayes and Jonathan Groff in the process.
Get ready…

Dear Mr. Setoodeh,
I am so thoroughly annoyed with you as is, most know by now, actress Kristin Chenoweth whose passionate and [...]
There are so many theatre award events in the next eight weeks, Manhattan’s a virtual Jiffy Pop explosion of nominees for shows long closed (miss you “Ragtime“), shows with mixed feelings attached (“ba, da, ba, dum – snap, snap“ as I “Say a Little Prayer for You“) and the gems Off Broadway that will be graduating to the Great White [...]
