Liza Minnelli did great business taking over for Julie Andrews in Victor/Victoria in January. Whoopi Goldberg is having a personal triumph as Nathan Lane's successor in the revival of A Funny Thing..... Last week I saw Faith Prince, whose reputation has been built on her gift for comic brassiness, take on what was for her an utterly uncharacteristic role, that of Mrs. Anna , in the wonderful revival of The King and I that recently began its second year.

BETTY BUCKLEY
As you can imagine, I was thrilled that Betty Buckley received a well deserved Tony nomination for her role as Hesione in Triumph of Love, the recent musical at the Royale Theatre. Buckley's work in that show was, without a doubt, the high point of the production, and her delivery of "Serenity" was superb both vocally and dramatically. . . Although Ms. B's cameo in Robert Redford's The Horse Whisperer had to be cut (the movie was running close to four hours, and many scenes had to be excised), you can find Buckley on the small screen next week and also in June. Buckley will perform on "The Rosie O'Donnell Show" one day next week to celebrate her Tony nomination. The day is not yet finalized, but I will post the date as soon as it is available. And, as reported earlier, Buckley, Patti LuPone and Jennifer Holliday will join Rosie O'Donnell for the opening number of the Tony Awards (June 7 on CBS), which will be a salute to the divas of the stage.

A "memorial" sounds too grim for a celebration of the life of the late Adolph Green, the vivacious performer, lyricist, librettist and screenwriter who died Oct. 24, so his family is throwing one last "party" for the man who so loved Manhattan parties.
