The self-proclaimed Downtown Diva is here! You Might Know Her From Sex and the City, Addams Family Values and the Broadway productions of Gypsy, The Women, You Can’t Take It With You, and her frequent work with playwright Charles Busch. She is now starring in Tootsie, the Broadway musical. Julie served us effervescent lemonade and told us about making the move from downtown theatre to the Broadway stage, having Bitsy von Muffling written for her, and managing her friendship with Charles off stage.
