We Must All Rally Around Rebecca Luker, And Send Out Our Prayers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                    It was with great sadness, and tears, that I learned, last week that famed musical theater actress Rebecca Luker, whom I have sign in several shows, has been diagnosed with ALS, the debilitating nerve illness, known as "Lou Gherig's Disease."  Luker is married to Danny Burstein, a wonderful performer in his own right, currently starring in "Moulin Rouge," though, with this saddening news, who knows for how long he will be in the show.  He is going to have to be at Rebecca' s side throughout all of this.

                                     What is it with Broadway's divas?  We just lost Marin Mazie last September, and our sympathy is still with the talented and handsome Jason Danieley.  And now Rebecca, with Danny left to carry on.  What is going on?

                                        Some way must be found to eradicate this illness.  In the meantime, my readers and myself, as well as the New York theater community, send out our prayers to both Rebecca and Danny!

                                         What else can I say, except, "Amen?
