Madame Rose<\/a>, Eva Peron<\/a> … Kathie Lee Gifford<\/a>? Yes, Kathie Lee, the preternaturally perky talk-show host, is, like those other ambitious ladies, the subject of her very own musical.

Because bloggers often request suggestions for things to do while in New York, I decided I would do the occasional post on the topic, especially if the activity or place is off the beaten path. This musical is in a tiny little theater on the third floor of a building on West 36th Street, so it’s not the kind of thing you’d normally stumble upon.
