Photo Flash: Tony Winner Laura Benanti for THE CREATIVE FACES PROJECT

TONY winner Laura Benanti (Gypsy, The Sound of Music, ABC's Nashville) is the latest featured artist in The Creative Faces Project: an evolving portrait and interview collective celebrating artists who inspire the New York Stage. Her photos and interview, published Thursday, February 5th, can be viewed on The Creative Faces Project website: www.thecreativefacesproject.com

"Laura is a character actress wearing the skin of an ingénue. On one side, she is wonderfully talented, incredibly sweet, aware and very beautiful. On the other, she is self deprecating, sharp witted and unafraid to make an ass of herself so that she can spread the joy and share in a laugh. She thrives on the stage - whether it is Broadway, Encores!, or her Cabaret act - and is a twitter genius (@LauraBenanti). I am very grateful to have the collaboration of this lovely lady, and can't wait for her return to The Great White Way. Many thanks to Ms. Benanti!" -Jason Zeren: Photographer and Curator of The Creative Faces Project
