The 2024 Tony Awards

The Tony Awards just keep getting BIGGER & BETTER each year.

Being the Supervisor for Hair & Makeup is a job that I take very seriously.

My crew had doubled in size from last year and I hand picked everyone of these extremely talented artists so “Show Day” went off like a fine oiled machine :)

What ever gets thrown my way from eyelashes to the right wigs, I can handle it

Having the trust from the producers at White Cherry Productions with Ricky Kirshner and Glenn Weiss is worth going the extra mile. Working with the BEST of the BEST is an honor.

It’s been over 2 decades that I’ve been over seeing this show, making sure every star, celebrity & dancer is given the very best care and respect.

I’m very proud of my entire crew and the talent they bring.

Our director Glenn Weiss received yet another Emmy nomination for the show.

They honored my long time client Chita Rivera in a beautiful way.

Check out the list of stars below that attended.

Can’t wait for next year :)

Airing live from the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City, the talented lineup of stars includes Utkarsh Ambudkar, Nate Burleson, Cynthia Erivo, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Josh Gad, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Sean Hayes, Taraji P. Henson, Julianne Hough, Jennifer Hudson, Angelina Jolie, Nick Jonas, Idina Menzel, Ashley Park, Jim Parsons, Wendell Pierce, Ben Platt, Anthony Ramos, Andrew Rannells, Solomon Thomas, Taylor Tomlinson, Pete Townshend, Tamara Tunie, Adrienne Warren, Patrick Wilson and Jeffrey Wright.

US Open Tennis 2023 with Billie Jean King

First of all let me say , I LOVE tennis! I try to play at least 4 days a week. It really brings me JOY!

Hanging out with Billie Jean King and all the “GREATS” at Flushing Meadows is the best gig :)

Billie is a force to be reckoned with.

Five decades ago, the tennis great delivered an essential win for equality when she said she and her fellow female players wouldn’t compete at the annual tournament in Queens if their prize money didn’t match the men’s. Her crusade resulted in the U.S. Open becoming the first event to offer equal payouts.

Michelle Obama highlighted the feat’s 50th anniversary during a celebration Monday night at Arthur Ashe Stadium. And moments before King was to be honored Tuesday for her support of a different cause — free tennis programs for New York City youth — she received another surprise honor.

Queens Borough President Donovan Richards Jr. declared Tuesday to be “Billie Jean King Day” in Queens, which is home to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center that hosts the U.S. Open.

The 2023 Tony Awards

What usually takes 2 months to crew & set the Tonys, this year it took 4 days to firm 30 Hair & Makeup artists in a venue we have never been before. I LOVE a Challenge & this show did not disappoint .

We had the lovely Ariana DeBose as our host and she nailed it!

The 76th Tony Awards is the first major awards show to be affected by Hollywood's ongoing writers' strike. The Tony Awards Management Committee and CBS initially canceled the telecast after the Writers Guild of America denied a request for a waiver that would have allowed the show's producers to stage a live show without striking writers protesting outside the venue. After further negotiations, the WGA agreed to allow an altered version of the event to proceed without the threat of a picket line and air on CBS, which is part of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, the group with which the WGA has been at an impasse since May 2.

We raised $61.4 MILLON dollars in one night for the Robin Hood Foundation!

Robin Hood’s Annual Benefit brings people together every year to raise funds that elevate our impact, while celebrating the greatest and most resilient city on earth. 100% of funds raised are invested directly into poverty-fighting programs across New York’s five boroughs.

It was a total blast to work with Jim Gaffigan . Mr Funny :)

I’m always honored to be a part of this organization.

Kindness never goes out of style.

Chita Rivera

Several years ago I worked with Chita Rivera (The Legend) :)

We were at The Waldorf Hotel and she was to receive an award.

The Talent escort was taking her through the kitchen and I asked if there was a better way she could take.

Chita told me “Honey, I’ve seen every kitchen in NYC” .

That day forward we were best of friends.

I absolutely adore this beautiful woman!

She is still crushing it at 90

We were doing a show at Lincoln Center celebrating 50 years of Principal Talents ( Chita did “All That Jazz”

She walked into the makeup room and said “There’s my Girl” & proceeded to rule the room. We share a mutual love for one another & I made her 30 years younger.

Our fearless producer Mitch Owgang & several people remarked how fabulous she looked.

Mitch said “You know she ALWAYS writes you into her contract “ …..

Now I know what pure JOY feels like :)

Sir Paul McCartney & Paul Muldoon

It was so worth the ride to Yale for Sir Paul. In the mean time he was there to have a discussion with THE Paul Muldoon.

Mr. Muldoon has published over thirty collections and won a Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, the T. S. Eliot Prize and the 2003 Griffin International Prize for Excellence in Poetry. 

Paul Muldoon is an American journalist and author who is currently the Chief Editor at the Washington Post.

We all had the best conversations in then dressing rooms where ALL the real talk comes out :)

I was there for Sir Paul, but when Mr Muldoon asked if he could have some makeup because Sir Paul looked so natural… that’s my thing :) I jacked his hair up and when he looked in the mirror, Mr Muldoon said “Well this is a new look and I like it” .

It’s always a good day when I’m surrounded by geniuses.

I love a good deep conversation.

Rob Reilly

Rob Reilly is a bonafide creative. Having been in the industry for decades, he knows what it takes to create meaningful work that has an impact. Not only that, he’s willing to share his knowledge and success to hopefully inspire the next generation.

His pick was “Tubi Rabbit Holes”

Rob is a force of nature.

A true BRAINIAC :)

Billy Porter a beautiful soul and an AMAZING person

I had the absolute honor to work with Billy Porter.

LOVED him in “POSE”, he breaths passion in everything he does.

Billy won the Tony for BEST actor in a musical as Lola in “Kinky Boots”

We were talking and I said “I so admire a man that can do a cartwheel in 8 inch heels”

Billy being his real self said “ Oh Honey , I’m 53. I’ll let JLo do that”

LOVE HIM!!!

Henry Kissinger

Doctor Henry Kissinger turned 99 in May of 2022 and he is still sharp as a tack.

The Tony Awards Present "Broadway's Back" 2021

“We are thrilled to bring the best of Broadway to television viewers who have been through so much without the joys, comfort and excitement that live theatre provides,” said Jack Sussman, Executive Vice President, Specials, Music, Live Events and Alternative Programming, CBS Entertainment. “With the combined power of CBS and Paramount+, the show will honor this year’s Tony Award nominees and winners in a new format unlike any other, and celebrate the iconic music, memorable performances and unique personalities that make Broadway so special.”

This was such an emotional night for everyone.

We all support our Broadway Family. There was so much kindness & respect towards everyone, because we all have been through so much in the 2 years that people were so grateful just to be able to work among friends.

Broadway truly has a special energy and I’m honored to be a part of the BEST production Team in NYC.

We Love New York. The Homecoming Concert in Central Park 2021

Just when you thought we were ready to fall back in love with big live concerts again — Hurricane Henri had other plans for New York City. 

The ominous Hurricane Henri washed out what was supposed to be a triumphant night for NYC, more than a year after the COVID-19 pandemic shook the Big Apple.  We Love NYC: The Homecoming Concert on the Great Lawn of Central Park on Saturday night.

Midway into the concert as Barry Manilow belted out “I Can’t Smile Without You” the heavens opened up and pre-Henri arrived several hours earlier than expected, with the rain and lightning threat putting an end to what was turning into an epic event.

In all fairness, when the star-studded concert, produced by industry legend Clive Davis and Live Nation which they announced last month by Mayor Bill de Blasio things seemed to be moving in a positive direction.

To be safe EVERY person had to produce a vaccinated card to enter the park.

All and all, it was a beautiful event as the crew hugged and cried just being able to see one another again.

That was a true Homecoming for me :)

Sir Paul McCarney & Rick Rubin Documentary

Rick Rubin interviews Paul McCartney and I had the best seat in house :)

This was a true labor of love.

Paul McCartney and Rick Rubin have come together — heads nodding — for a new six-episode series titled McCartney 3, 2, 1, which has finally arrived on Hulu. The documentary series gives fans a peek behind all the classics and deep cuts throughout McCartney’s iconic career, from his work with the Beatles to Wings and even his solo records.

Catherine O'Hara

It was so worth getting up at 4:00am to go to Brooklyn to work with the lovely Catherine O'Hara

She is as funny as you would think. We laughed all day.

Loved her in "Best of Show" & she crushed it on "Schitt's Creek".

If walls could talk :)
