NEOhioPAL,

Going to college at New York University and living in New York City is full  
of sensations.  All the honking and sirens are sensational, and  getting hit 
by cars with out-of-state license plates is even better!   The Bush protesters 
make you feel welcome and the street beggars make you  feel well-off.  Of all 
the excitement I've been having here, perhaps my  favorite moment was seeing 
Hannah Delmonte play Beilke on Broadway.

Most people probably attend the show to see Hannah's costars Harvey  
Feirstein (the humble feller who won five Tonys and wrote La Cage aux Folles) as  
Tevye, or even to see Golde played by Rosie O'Donell (she, well, did lotsa  
stuff).  For me at least, seeing Hannah on stage meant more.

I got to see a girl I know from Spanish class prance around on a stage in  
the middle of Times Square.  I got to see a girl who's spent her whole  
childhood shining brightly through in community theater.  I got to see  Hannah, who 
has worked so hard for this, finally land her first Broadway  role.

Hannah is exceptional playing a child about half her age.  She runs  around 
on stage like a little girl, and she giggles and does little girl things  all 
the time.  For those of you familiar with the show, Hannah hands Reb.  Nachem 
(the beggar) a leaf just prior to the exodus scene as a "gift" with a  childish 
smirk.  As the Jews were forcibly removed from their hometown,  Hannah was 
excited for their plans to go on a boat and a train.  In fact,  her every move 
was executed in the perfect Hannah-like way.  If I didn't  know better, I would 
wonder how they trained such a young actress to be so  well-behaved for the 
show.

Oy gavolt.  As I write this, I feel like I'm making her seem like she  fits 
right in as a Broadway actress (the way it could and probably should  be).  But 
no.  Hannah Delmonte shone even on the Times Square  stage.  We all know this 
girl's got major things coming for her and I just  had to report that I 
verified it myself.

If you're going to be in NYC, try to get the chance to see Hannah's  Broadway 
debut.  A tip: get student rush tickets the day of the show for  25% of the 
price.  You can still see everything well from the back, and  there's almost 
always tickets available.  Plus, they don't usually check  for student IDs.  I 
saw a family of four buy them!

Hannah has always heard, "I can't wait to see you on Broadway!"  I've  been 
one of the guilty to inform Hannah of this.  However, it is so  freaking cool 
to get to tell her personally, "I can't wait to see you on  Broadway again."
