Roe, who in 2011 offered the highly-praised Dangerous Women: Life In Film Noir, admittedly has yearned to present a Waits songbook for 35 years, but just a couple of months before her four-show run which ends tonight at 9:30 pm (her prize for winning the 2012 MetroStar Challenge Competition at the Met Room), rising cabaret star Marissa Mulder staged a Tom Waits-themed show that was close to perfect in every way and earned rave reviews from the New York Times and BroadwayWorld.com.

But then, all of the sudden I had to have them, starred at them daily on the computer and would have shoe envy when I saw someone walking down the street wearing them. It got so bad one weekend when I was traveling and told my sister, 'I felt so short walking through the airport in my converse.' Not one of my finer moments. But I immediately marched over to Bloomingdale's and satisfied my urge with a pair of wedge sneakers and I couldn't be more thrilled with them! (more...)
