The Insta-Home Challenge: Houston

July 18, 2012

For being the FOURTH most populous city in the United States (behind NYC, LA and Chi-town), it blows my mind that it was so difficult to find housing in Houston. And I started looking back in April. I mean, there are over two million people living in this Texas metropolis. We will be there in […]

As American as baseball and melodramatic crying

July 7, 2012

Hoooo boy! It’s been hawt here in Greenville, SC this past month. A heat wave scorched the area with temps in the 100s for a solid week, and if you take this simmering sunshine, heap on a generous helping of humidity, and … sprinkle on some parmesan, well you have the makings of a delicious […]

CrossFit Reaction is making me snatched again

July 5, 2012

I’ve become one of those 30-something women who looks back at old photos longingly, and ponders whether or not she can ever look that good, or feel that confident, again. For instance, here’s a photo of me at age 20, as a cheerleader for Duke University. My body was lean and defined. I was what […]

Detour: Angela bounces to Brooklyn

May 12, 2012

Mama got to redeem some getaway credits! I took a break from Lion King tour life and spent almost five days away from my two guys. My best friend from college, Anita, got married in a courthouse in Brooklyn, and I flew up to bear witness. It was so fun to see all the New […]

The strange scene at home

May 11, 2012

When you live with Lion King theater actors, you never know what you will see when you come home. (In the previous Hollick case, titled “The Great Max Birth of 2010”, Mike was the one that showed up all crazy — at the hospital.) We’re sharing our Orlando house with Nick Cordileone (he plays Timon) […]

Take me out to the basketball game

May 6, 2012

This will be a short post, as I am WAY behind on writing about the past 3 weeks of life here on our Orlando leg of the Lion King tour. But today was exciting, as I reconnected with my friend Patrick Ewing. I know him from my days as a broadcaster with the NBA. Below, […]

The many adjectives of Zazu

April 5, 2012

One of our favorite people on our tour with The Lion King is Mark David Kaplan, who plays Zazu. Not only is he as sweet as can be offstage, he’s severely talented, and kills it every night onstage. You should also know that today is his birthday, so we will celebrate Mark, with adjectives! About […]

Lions and hyenas and giraffes — oh my!

February 24, 2012

What do you get when you take some Lion King cast members to the Metro Richmond Zoo on a gorgeous 70 degree February day? Rashada Dawan (she plays Shenzi the hyena) finds this giraffe a little too forward. And yes, that is a tongue going for her cup!  Her daughter Genesis is running up to […]

Turkey & Jerry: The Odd Couple

February 5, 2012

Most who know us well understand how crazy we are about our cat Turkey. You won’t meet many cats like him — he’s surprisingly outgoing and über-affectionate.  Not at all “cat-like”. More like a dog!  And… cue the eye-rolls from the dog lovers. After rescuing him as a sickly runt from a rough Brooklyn animal […]

At Nye’s Polonaise, some things never change

January 31, 2012

It’s rare to find a place like Nye’s Polonaise — a place where nothing has changed in FIFTY YEARS!  Literally. I’ve got a penchant for all things “oldie-timey,” and when I heard that this Minneapolis institution was frozen in time, I had to go.  And so Nick Cordileone (aka Timon in the Lion King), his […]
