Bucks County Playhouse has released a star-studded list of performers and special guests who will help celebrate five-time Tony Award winner Angela Lansbury's legendary career as she becomes the inaugural inductee into the theater's Alumni Hall of Fame.
As previously announced , 21-time Tony Award-winning director/producer Harold Prince will present Lansbury with the honor during the induction ceremony, set to take place on Monday, October 28. Tony winners Tyne Daly (Master Class) and Christine Ebersole (Grey Gardens) along with Tony nominee Hunter Foster (Hands on a Hardbody), Justin Guarini (Romeo and Juliet), and Lauren Molina and Nick Cearley of The Skivvies will give special vocal performances. Tony winners Boyd Gaines (An Enemy of the People) and Alfred Uhry (Driving Miss Daisy) will also attend the ceremony as special guests.
"What better way to induct Angela Lansbury into our Hall of Fame than to surround her with her adoring fellow artists," said Producing Director Jed Bernstein. "Angela Lansbury appeared at the Playhouse in 1952's Affairs of State, years before she stepped foot onto the Broadway stage, making her the perfect first honoree."

Inside Edition interview - October 3, 2013



Justin Guarini of American Idol fame is doing Shakespeare. He's in the new Broadway production of Romeo and Juliet starring Orlando Bloom.


It's Justin’s first gig since those shocking reports that he was living in poverty. Guarini sparked those reports himself when he wrote a blog about making sacrifices to raise his young family.

He wrote, "I am terrified. I am struggling to make each day meet the next. I have spent days skipping meals... To make sure my children and my wife have enough." 

He now says his words were misinterpreted.

INSIDE EDITION’s Megan Alexander asked, “You still have really passionate fans who love you and care about you and they want to make sure you are doing ok. So, you're doing ok?”

Guarini said, “I'm doing more than ok.”
Alexander the asked, “You have enough money?”

Guarini replied, “Yeah.”

“Life is ok?,” asked Alexander.

He said, “Life is wonderful for me.”

You'll recall that he was runner-up to Kelly Clarkson on the first season of American Idol back in 2002.

Her singing career is still booming and she recently played herself on the premiere episode of Robin Williams’ new hit TV sitcom, The Crazy Ones.

Guarini carving out a new career for himself on the stage, says he's not jealous of her success.

He said, “I will always have a place in my heart for her."
