Hello, diva lovers! Well, I must admit it was a bit daunting to open a blank Word Perfect document this past Tuesday morning to attempt to write a millennium-based diva column while finishing our January subscription issue and starting our February theatre edition. At one point I decided I would just write a regular weekly column and not deal with the approaching 2000 mark, but then I thought I would simply list many of the women of the musical theatre/cabaret worlds who have brightened our lives throughout the past few decades. So, in alphabetical order, here they are. (I’m sure I’ve left out many of your favorites, so please excuse any omission!) Following this grand diva list are more detailed thoughts and musings about some (but not all) 25 of my very favorite gals (alphabetically, of course). I hope you enjoy reading this column, and may the New Year bring every diva lover out there much joy and happiness, and may it also be diva-filled!

Few, if any, openings of an off-Broadway show draw a camera crew from "60 Minutes," least of all one that has been kicking around the boards in some form or another for 20 years. That was, however, what happened on Jan. 13, when A Couple of Blaguards clambered onstage at the Triad Theatre. Actors Mickey Kelly and Shay Duffin play Frank and Malachy McCourt, in a piece that chronicles the brothers misadventures in Ireland and America -- not the kind of thing that would have interested CBS on a dismal, snowy evening in the play's past appearances on the New York stage.

The adaptation is based on The Apollo staging of Ta-Nehisi Coates’ work, who also performs in the special.

The musician kicks off her spring tour at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts March 27.
