The illusionist extraordinaire joined us from Key West to talk about live shows resuming at <em>La Te Da <\/em>\u2013 behind <em>Plexiglas<\/em>!&nbsp; It almost sounds as if he\u2019s doing a show at the <em>Olive Garden <\/em>salad bar!&nbsp; Definitely check it out.<\/p>\n<p>And then\u2026the show that\u2019s been six months in the making.&nbsp; Strike that \u2013 47 years in the making.&nbsp; For the first time ever, <strong>Lainie Kazan <\/strong>and <strong>Michele Lee <\/strong>sat down and talked about the <em>Broadway <\/em>debacle that was <strong><em>Seesaw<\/em><\/strong>.&nbsp; The legendary ladies had been friends for years, co-starred in the musical <strong><em>Bravo Giovanni<\/em><\/strong>, and even lived in the same building.&nbsp; <em>Seesaw<\/em> changed all of that.&nbsp; Lainie Kazan was fired, Michele Lee was hired.&nbsp; Lee would rehearse by day, Lainie would perform by night.&nbsp; And they didn\u2019t speak for almost 15 years.&nbsp; Their recounting of that time was emotional, but also cathartic.&nbsp; They bared their souls in a way that was so intimate \u2013 sometimes I left them alone on-screen because I felt as if I were intruding.&nbsp; Of course, I came back for us to share loads of laughs, music, and <em>risqu\u00e9<\/em> footage.&nbsp;
