The wonderfully talented Lesley Ann Warren, who played Cinderella in the 1965 film, will be performing with the Broadway cast for an encore performance of "Ten Minutes Ago" on September 23. I'm so jealous of everyone who gets to see this. I so wish I could be there.
I have no idea of her reputation, but I have always loved Lesley Ann Warren. Kinetic, unpredictable, and interesting, she's just a flat-out great actress. Hope she soars here. Oh, and if you haven't seen her performance in the film CHOOSE ME...you simply MUST!
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

we are THRILLED that we were able to make this happen. AND, Lesley will also appear the next day (9/24) at Barnes & Noble on 86/Lex at 7PM to perform three songs, be interviewed by Richard Skipper, and sign DVD's for everyone.
Priority seating provided for those who purchase DVD's in the store.
Miss Warren does not come across well in Susan Schulman's book "Backstage pass to Broadway". If I remember correctly, while in rehearsal for the Broadway show DREAM, she refused to perform at an open rehearsal for the press, having her understudy go on for her. But when her understudy got a nice reception from the invited press, Warren decided to perform after all (and did not impress). She also refused to rehearse with the other actors, insisting that her dance assistant learn the show with the other performers, and then teach the show to Warren in a private room. Later blamed a faulty dance move on the fabric of the couch she was sitting on, and rejected 24 pair of shoes before approving the ones to wear in the show. Yeah, she comes across as a bit.....unhinged.
Sounds like she knows she's not a good dancer and was trying to avoid embarrassing herself. Of course, it seems like her behavior had the opposite affect of what she wanted.
