Darn you and your incredible MD News Desk! Now, I have to figure out how to get to Chicago in November AND to London to see John Barrowman (A svelte Zaza?? Who knew?!) and Anna Friel in Breakfast at Tiffany's! Here's hoping it isn't the legendary flop musical that starred mary Tyler Moore and Richard Chamberlain!
