Making the most of her Sunday evening, Carly Rae Jepsen headed over to the 29th Annual Lucille Lortel Awards in New York City last night (May 4).
The “Call Me Maybe” cutie was all smiles as she hammed it up with musician Jonatha Brooke and actresses like Monica Potter and Amanda Peet.
Carly has been having a blast playing Cinderella on Broadway since February and it sounds like she’s fitting right in.
Ms. Jepsen posted a photo with the caption, “Tonight is the 29th annual Lucille Lortel Awards.@joe_carrollmich and I are so proud of our sweet producer Robyn Goodman who was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award.”...

The top 10 overlooked songs are finally here! I believe these choices represent the term, “overlooked,” in that while they may not be the most famous or memorable, all ten feature quality rhythms, lyrics and – for the most part – inspirational messages. Yes, there is one villain song on the list, so I guess they all cannot be warmhearted. Nevertheless, I believe these are fantastic melodies.
#10 – Poor Unfortunate Souls (The Little Mermaid)
Ursula the Sea Witch, voiced with great gusto by Pat Carroll, reveals her most evil plans in this delightfully delicious ditty.
