On Wednesday, June 15, 2015 at 7:00 PM, Randie Levine-Miller hosted her annual Showstopper Divas event at The Triad (158 West 72nd Street) to benefit The Actors Fund.*
Critically acclaimed Broadway theater veterans and Tony Award nominees Beth Fowler ("Beauty and the Beast," "The Boy From Oz," "Sweeney Todd," "Baby," currently co-starring on Netflix's "Orange Is The New Black") and Lee Roy Reams, Broadway's favorite song and dance man ("42nd Street," "Applause," "Hello Dolly," "The Producers") will be performing. Joining them will be the winners of Tomatoes Got Talent--- Karen Nason (2014), Susan Vardy (2015) and Kathleen Waters (2016). Randie Levine-Miller will also perform some show tunes and standards.
Tomatoes Got Talent, a competition for women past 40 that was held this past March at The Triad, was created as an annual event to highlight the performing talents of women past 40 who are accomplished in other arenas, but are not currently working as entertainers. It was produced by Randie and Cheryl Benton, head of The Three Tomatoes newsletter and website, both of which are geared to "women who aren't kids!"
Karen Nason is a successful businesswoman in Hoboken and a "bigger than life" talent! Susan Vardy, Ph.D, is a clinical psychotherapist and local PTA president who toured in "Hello Dolly" 25 years ago directed by Lee Roy Reams! Kathleen Waters is a legal secretary by day and sings with several bands. She started as an actress, but life took over. Kathleen is a 911 World Trade Center survivor.
Paul Chamlin is the Musical Director of this exciting event at The Triad where Randie is once again bringing her brand of entertainment. After overcoming a lifetime of paralyzing stage-fright, she's proud to be singing again (having previously segued to a long and successful career in public relations). Randie has produced and hosted Showstopper Divas and Divos at such venues as The Metropolitan Room, Feinstein's, and for many years at the Friars Club. She's been called a modern day "hostess with the mostess." Randie's produced some 90 star-studded events in total, including tributes to Charles Strouse, Marvin Hamlisch, Ervin Drake, Tovah Feldshuh, Jim Dale, Len Cariou, Tony Roberts & Lee Roy Reams.
