MATILDA THE MUSICAL Broadway cast album released on CD and mp3: amzn.to/18aGXTZ ************** “The Most of Nora Ephron” will be released Oct. 29. “A whopping big celebration of the work of the late, great Nora Ephron, America’s funniest-and most acute-writer, famous for her brilliant takes on life as we’ve been living it these last forty years. Everything you could possibly want from Nora Ephron is here-from her writings on journalism, feminism, and being a woman (the notorious piece on being flat-chested, the clarion call of her commencement address at Wellesley) to her best-selling novel, ‘Heartburn,’ written in the wake of her devastating divorce from Carl Bernstein; from her hilarious and touching screenplay for the movie ‘When Harry Met Sally . . .’ (‘I’ll have what she’s having’) to her recent play Lucky Guy (published here for the first time); from her ongoing love affair with food, recipes and all, to her extended takes on such controversial women as Lillian Hellman and Helen Gurley Brown; from her pithy blogs on politics to her moving meditations on aging (‘I Feel Bad About My Neck’) and dying. Her superb writing, her unforgettable movies, her honesty and fearlessness, her nonpareil humor have made Nora Ephron an icon for America’s women – and not a few of its men.” Pre-order: amzn.to/1ibdI9o *************** Spotlight on Broadway — an interactive website and multi-media project featuring the history of Broadway — has officially launched with 40 videos that chart the evolution of Broadway’s 40 official theaters and honor the thousands of men and women who have worked on Broadway.
