Judith
of Bethulia is an outrageous and bawdy celebration of the Hollywood
Biblical Epic! Lepers, whores, eunuchs, centurians, evil generals,
youthful poets and a beautiful redheaded widow make Charles Busch's
latest comedy an event worth praying for!

In June, 2011, I was extremely honored and
touched to be named an "Off-Broadway" legend at the first annual
Off-Broadway Alliance Awards at Sardi's. My fellow legends honored
were my great buddy, Julie Halston, Everett Quinton, Tom Jones and
Blue Men Group.
A wonderful artist named John Wolfe drew
this sketch of me while I was performing the Marlene Dietrich song "Boys
in the Backroom" at a recent benefit for the Actor's Fund. I love that
John was able to capture me "doing Dietrich."
