Laura will appear on ABC's hit television show, Life on Mars on Wednesday, February 18th at 10pm. Set your TiVo!




Laura has joined the cast of Christopher Durang's Why Torture Is Wrong, And The People Who Love Them. The show starts previews at the Public Theater on March 24th, and opens April 6. Tickets go onsale February 20th at publictheater.org.




Laura is featured on the new Studio Cast Recording of Allegro featuring Tony Award-winner Audra McDonald, Norbert Leo Butz, Tony Award-nominees Patrick Wilson, Judy Kuhn, Liz Callaway, Danny Burstein and opera sensation baritone Nathan Gunn. The special 2-CD deluxe edition includes rare photos, full libretto, historical essays and more. Written in 1947, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s ALLEGRO was preceded by OKLAHOMA! (1943) and CAROUSEL (1945), and followed by SOUTH PACIFIC (1949) and THE KING AND I (1951), a period when R&H were at their creative zenith. An original musical, it tells the story of an earnest country doctor, Joseph Taylor, Jr., following his life from cradle to adulthood, and his journey - both literal and moral - from small town to big city, and back again. The score is unconventional: fragments of song move in and out of the action like passing thoughts; melodies flit by in one scene only to take hold and blossom in the next. Major songs are given to minor characters, while the central character has comparatively little solo work; at the same time, a chorus provides spoken commentary and sings aloud their inner thoughts. The cd is now available from Amazon.com and iTunes.
