The 1999 L.A. Ovation Awards, presented Nov. 8 at La Mirada Theatre, suffered from a severe case of Reefer Madness, as the Hudson Backstage Theater production by that name ran away with five awards, including best musical in a small theatre. The show also won for ensemble performance.

BERNADETTE PETERS
The long-awaited revival of Irving Berlin's Annie Get Your Gun opened last night at the Marquis Theatre, starring the one-and-only Bernadette Peters as Annie Oakley, a role made famous by the legendary Ethel Merman. The star-studded audience included such notables as Danny Aiello, Brooke Astor, Lauren Bacall, Catherine Bach, Sandy Duncan, Ben Gazzara, Barbara Cook, Joel Grey, Merv Griffin, Mary Cleere Haran, Marilu Henner, James Earl Jones, Sharon Lawrence, Cameron Mackintosh, John McDaniel, Mary Tyler Moore, Rosie O'Donnell, Gregory Peck, Brooke Shields, Bobby Short, Ann Reinking, William Finn and many others. The audience leapt to its feet for the star of the evening, and I thought you would enjoy reading some of BP's fabulous reviews:

BETTY BUCKLEY
There was a wonderful interview with Betty Buckley in the Feb. 15 issue of In Theater Magazine. Buckley, who concludes her run in The Eros Trilogy this weekend, had this to say to writer Kathy Henderson about her non-musical stage work: "I think [the last play I did] was The Perfectionist, by Joyce Carol Oates, at the McCarter Theatre for [director] Emily Mann, just before I did Sunset Boulevard. I've done tons of readings at the Public Theater. This past year, I did a reading for Tony Kushner of a new play he's written called St. Cecilia's Music. I was offered three plays this winter, [including] one at the Kennedy Center about Georgia O'Keeffe; I was very interested in doing it, but I couldn't work it into my schedule. Then my agents called and said, 'We have a new Nicky Silver play.' I love his writing, and I'd been speaking to [Vineyard artistic director] Doug Aibel for some time because I love this space. It's nice and intimate." Buckley also spoke about some future projects. "My friend Kevin Duncan and I," Buckley explained, "are forming our own production and recording company this year, called KO Productions. My brother Norman and I are looking for a film project to do together; he's a great editor, and he should be directing. I feel really good about what I'm doing now. I spent a lot of years being pretty stressed all the time. And I think you reach a certain age when you go, 'I don't have the reserves to process this much stress anymore.' It's my mission to make choices for myself in personal and professional relationships where everybody has a good time. We're not here that long, and I've wasted too much time wading through stress and craziness. I don't have to do that anymore."
