The nightmare began on day two of rehearsals. Day two was the day that the infamous Hollywood leading lady Jordana Winston arrived onstage, or on set, as she mistakenly kept calling it.

It has become common practice of late to feature Hollywood stars on the Broadway stage, and if you ask me, which no one does, it’s a travesty. The Tinsel Town effect, as it’s called, may boost sales, but it certainly doesn’t boost morale, at least not among real Broadway thespians. Prominent stage actors worry that they will disappear from Broadway’s future if screen actors continue to scoop up leading roles and Tony Award noms. Some are cast just for their names and aren’t even right for the parts. This was especially true in the case of my latest diva, Jordana Winston.

Ms. Winston arrived straight off a megamillion-dollar box office smash, and boy, did she know it. Between her ego and her entourage, it was thought she would need two dressing rooms. This was after her request to airlift a movie trailer onto the ninety-year-old roof of the Brooks Atkinson Theatre was denied. I’m sure the renowned New York Times critic Brooks Atkinson, for whom the theater is named, would have had a choice word or two to say about Ms. Jordana Winston. I only wish he could be resurrected for opening night!
