These are some photos taken at POLLY BERGEN's Saturday night performance. This was her closing night, and this evenings performance was also recorded. This was Poly's first singing engagement in 35 years.

Carol Lawrence (the original MARIA in the original WEST SIDE STORY)
Phyllis Maguire (of the chart topping 50's vocal group, THE MAGUIRE SISTERS)
John Waters (Film Legend)
Craig Rubano (one-time Marius on Broadway)
Kane Alexander (Marius in the Australian tour of Les Miserables)
Charles Busch (author of VAMPIRE LESBIANS OF SODOM, soon to open his first Broadway show THE TALE OF THE ALERGIST'S WIFE)
Fran Lebowitz
After the performance we piled into the elevator with Enrique Iglasias, who alas.. was not going to be joining us in Polly Bergen's suite..
While feeling festive in the after show celebration.. hotel security came to the room and told us to calm down.. twice... I thought legends were alowed to be rowdy..??
