Did anybody else catch UC prez Nancy Zimpher hanging out outside the Today Show at the crack of dawn this morning to shout out to Al Roker about the musical theater grads’ showcase? (Although what she said was “Broadway” – and who can blame her for employing the power of positive thinking?) The whole gang were in blinding red, you couldn’t miss them.
That’s all I caught. “Today” has been so fixated on Don Imus for the last few days that I’ve been everywhere but NBC and MSNBC in my channel-hopping. Zimpher and her posse weren’t just passing by, they were standing by for a private tour following the end of the broadcast (and en route to Sotheby’s) part of a big NYC splash to celebrate the “Not Famous Yet” showcase and no doubt position the big capital campaign on the horizon.
Word is starting to filter in on the showcse outcome (the two performances were yesterday) and while this is strictly anecdotal, it sounds like 2007 Acclaim Rising Star Sean Montgomery landed more than a dozen invites to meet with casting agents and such.
