And a Happy Birthday shout-out to Miriam Shor, who turns 46 today!
Shor began her career with several acclaimed Off-Broadway productions, including Hedwig and the Angry Inch by John Cameron Mitchell. She reprised her role of Yitzhak in the critically-lauded 2001 film adaptation. Miriam has appeared on television in "The West Wing," "Damages," "Mildred Pierce," "GCB" and "The Good Wife." She can currently be seen as Diana Trout on TV Land's "Younger" (created by Darren Star). Shor played Madeleine True in Encores! production of The Wild Party at the New York City Center.
See you bright and early tomorrow, BroadwayWorld!
