I loved {title of show] and I loved this interview. I hope your readers will make the trip to NYC to see it. Heidi is fabulous!

Great interview Joel. I saw Heidi in Meet John Doe more times than I care to admit, and also saw her at the first preview of [tos]. Loved the show as a musical theatre geek and Heidi was excellent in it.

Thanks for the article. Heidi deserving in the main because the talent is just superb. It is good to have her recognized. When Broadway revives “I DO, I DO” she should play the Mary Martin role and Ed Watts ditto Robert Preston.

I also loved the show and I know that people who are not musical theatre nuts may not get all the inside jokes, but will still have a great time. I am a big fan of Heidi’s, and I had a blast recording this interview. She is bubbly and talented and it comes through on this podcast.

I saw “[title of show]” Sunday night of opening weekend. Oddly enough, the night before I saw “The Little Mermaid” with family and Sherie Rene Scott was out as Ursula. I kept thinking about how it would have been to see Heidi in the role!
Anyway, the show is very enjoyable and Heidi is wonderful in it. Her warm personality and great voice really charm the audience. Even if you don’t get all of the Broadway in-jokes, the show is very clever and funny and, at 90 minutes (no intermission), moves well. Maybe there’s a little too much “what if what we are saying is in the show” early on and the late plot conflicts seem a little contrived, but the sell-out audience laughed heartily and often before giving the performers a well-deserved standing ovation. Best gimmick: phone mail messages from real Broadway stars used at some scene changes.

Great interview, Joel. . . I love Heidi! She is so talented and such a classy, lovely lady. Heidi alone would be worth the trek to NY to hear/see, but how is the show itself? I didn’t catch the off-Broadway run back in the day, but read lots of good press on it. I do hope to get up that way to catch it.
