After I get out of my rehearsal for lunch break, I would go to Tony’s Di Napoli Italian Restaurant. My meal would be composed of scrumptious mushroom ravioli for my entrée, and cherry tartufo for dessert. Subsequently, I would stroll in Central Park a few hours before my “Phantom” performance. Some people absolutely hate the Big Apple. Some say the natives are grouchy,…
