Olive Thomas, the ghost of a Ziegfeld Follies girl believed to haunt a Broadway theatre to this day, will get to cavort on stage for a few more months. Speakeasy Dollhouse: Ziegfeld Midnight Frolic, an immersive theatre experience that has been reenacting Olive's story since April, has announced that it will extend its limited run until the end of the summer. No final date was specified.

TRIBUTE: STEPHANIE LAWRENCE
On Monday morning, a co-worker came into my office to look through the photo files for a picture of actress Stephanie Lawrence. When I asked him what show she would be appearing in, I was shocked and saddened to learn that the 50-year-old Lawrence had died over the weekend in her London apartment. Although I had seen the talented actress perform live only once — in the 1993 Broadway company of Blood Brothers — I had been a fan for about a decade, enjoying her vocal work on the London cast recording of Starlight Express as well as her renditions of several tunes on a handful of Andrew Lloyd Webber collection discs. Lawrence’s one-and-only Broadway appearance was in the aforementioned Brothers stint, but that was enough to garner the late singer a Tony Award nomination for Best Actress in a Musical. It was a very moving performance, and Lawrence acted the hell out of the role of Mrs. Johnstone, a poor woman who is monetarily forced to give away one of her newborn twins. By the end of the evening, Lawrence collapsed onstage in a sea of tears, belting the song’s finale “Tell Me It’s Not True.” It was a wonderful performance, one I’m now especially thrilled to have seen. If you’ve never heard Lawrence’s work -- she also starred on the London stage in Marilyn!, Evita and Cats -- you can hear her sing on the cast recordings of Starlight Express and Blood Brothers as well as on her solo CD, “Stephanie Lawrence: Footlights,” and these Lloyd Webber discs: “Andrew Lloyd Webber: Songbook,” “The Magic of Andrew Lloyd Webber” and “The Love Songs of Andrew Lloyd Webber.” The 50-year-old actress will be much missed by fans around the world.
