Playing Broadway's classy ladies is a Dee Hoty specialty. From ME AND MY GIRL's aristocratic Lady Jacqueline to CITY OF ANGEL's alluring Alaura to her Best Actress in a Musical nominations for THE WILL ROGERS FOLLIES and THE BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE GOES PUBLIC all the wall up to last season's turn as the worldly Aunt Alicia in GIGI.

The Broadway favorite is currently exuding her grace in Steve Martin and Edie Brickell's Tony-nominated musical BRIGHT STAR.

Before this afternoon's matinee, Dee Hoty allowed fans a peek into her dressing room for a Q&A session with Facebook members. Among the subjects covered were her training as an actor, pre-performance rituals and her onstage mother-daughter relationship with BRIGHT STAR's leading lady Carmen Cusack.
