"I was really thrilled to appear on The Tonight Show. Johnny Carson interviewed me after I sang "Two For the Road," but before I got to the couch, he'd had on a parrot which was supposed to say, "Johnny," but didn't. So, instead, Carson played it for countless laughs, as only he could. My only big moment with Johnny was seriously abbreviated by the time taken up by that damn bird." Andrea

"I was so excited when they told me that Al Hirschfeld was going to draw me during our out-of-town tryout of "Nefertiti." As disappointing as it was to close before making it to Broadway, having Al create his magic... well that's a glorious feeling! "

"To have it happen once was miraculous enough, but to have the true honor of Al sketching me twice?! I just feel really proud." Andrea
