This month, we take trips to Oz (to talk to Wicked's Aaron Tveit) and to Idaho (to chat with Rob Sutton of Idaho!). As for Jim Caruso, that globe hopper could be anywhere on earth from Indiana to Belgium touring with Liza Minnelli, yet he always seems to make it back to Manhattan's Birdland every Monday for his much beloved "Cast Party."

Hello, diva lovers! . . . Okay, so it had nothing to do with musical theatre or fabulous singing, but wasn't "All My Children" star Susan Lucci's acceptance speech this past Friday night at the "Daytime Emmy Awards" one of the most exciting, stirring diva moments of the year? I watched "AMC" from second grade through high school and, like most of the soap-viewing public, have waited years to see the always engaging Lucci nab the Emmy for Best Actress. It may have taken her 19 years, but it was certainly worth the wait to watch both Lucci's reaction and the Madison Square Garden audience's response: a standing, cheering ovation that erupted as soon as Lucci's name was announced bringing many in the audience, particularly Broadway cheerleader Rosie O'Donnell, to tears. After struggling to fight back her own tears, Lucci delivered a heartfelt and extremely moving speech that began with a somewhat humorous nod to her 18 years of watching other people win the coveted award: "I truly never believed that this would happen . . . I want to thank each and every one of you in this room. This is a room full of such talented, hard-working people, and the fact that you have thought that my work was worthy of notice 19 times is something that I will treasure always." Lucci then went on to thank "God for the many, many blessings in my life," including her parents ("who have been in every audience of my entire life, including tonight"), "AMC" creator Agnes Nixon ("for changing the face of the medium we work in. . .thank you so much for creating the part of Erica Kane and for allowing me to be part of your writing full of such humanity, passion and vision"), the company of "AMC" ("who I have the privilege to play these scenes every day -- you inspire me), her children ("I wasn't meant to get this award before tonight because if I had I wouldn't have that collection of poems and letters and drawings and chocolate cakes you made me all this time to make me feel better") and her husband ("who has been with me every step of the way"). But, I must admit, my favorite part of Lucci's speech was a somewhat over-the-top, yet sincere nod to her fans: "I was only supposed to be on every other Tuesday, but thanks to you I'm here, and I promise I will try my best never to let you down. I'm going back to that studio on Monday, and I'm going to play Erica Kane for all she's worth! Thank you so much." . . . Congratulations, Ms. Lucci. Now that you've nabbed the Emmy, how about a stint on Broadway? . . .
