"The birthday extravaganza this year at Rich Driehaus's Lake Geneva Estate was bigger and better than ever. Hundreds of guests and all of Broadway turned out in the form of Phantom, Chorus Line, My Fair Lady, Grease, and Mame. The irrepressible Ellie Weingardt was tops in Mame's lyrical pledge "Bosom Buddies" and made us smile at her antics at a 50's Grease reunion party as Sandy with the ever entertaining John Bos in the old Travolta role. The Birthday bash cost in the millions. Especially stunning was the Phantom of the Opera set complete with chandelier."
