Allison's Secret


Happy Spring!

My latest commercial, the Cami Secret, is now airing nationwide. The Cami Secret is a modern day version of the Dickie that covers up cleavage. Now why on earth would you want to do that? In the commercial I get to sport an unattractive bra and then repeatedly cover up the only thing that makes the bra look good. My favorite shot is where I catch my "creepy" boss (the Snuggie guy, who also played my husband in the Prayer Cross commercial) staring down my top and I'm "mortified". Me (and my modest boobies), coming to a television near you this Easter.

This past month I got to participate in two really cool projects. (Is "cool" a word of the 90's? Am I dating myself?) I performed in a reading of a new musical called National Pastime. The show is about a radio station in the 30's that makes up a non-existent baseball team and then broadcasts the fake games to help boost ratings. It's a cute piece with a great cast and we'll be performing it again in Cooperstown in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in May!

I was also privileged to sing in the Broadway Choir of Sondheim: The Birthday Concert at Lincoln Center. The choir consisted of over 300 members of the Broadway community lining the stage, aisles and tiers of Avery Fisher Hall while we sang "Sunday" from Sunday in the Park with George as the concert's finale. It was an awesome experience and the audience's reaction was priceless. The concert will air on PBS in 2011.

In December I sang at the Borough Hall Tree Lighting Ceremony in Brooklyn with the Elixer Opera Company. I got meet the Borough president and everything!

Back in January I performed in a benefit for Haiti with the Cinder Block Theater Company. It was a fun evening filled with singers and comics at Jimmy's No. 43, and all the proceeds benefited AmeriCares.

Now go out and enjoy this beautiful weather we've been having!
