Week in Review
This week was a whirl of red noses, good music, and spoonfuls of sugar for the Markowitz team.
Betty Buckley
Betty Buckley rocked Monday night at the Cabaret at Theatre Square, and the Markowitz team made sure she performed for a full house. The Broadway legend of Cats and Sunset Boulevard killed it as everyone from Harold Hill to Sweeney Todd in her wildly wonderful one woman show, Ah Men! The Boys of Broadway.

Mary Poppins
When you wake up to chimney sweeps dancing on your roof, you know Mary Poppins is in town. With the extraordinary Broadway show returning to the Benedum this weekend, the Markowitz team worked to share the magic with everyone in Pittsburgh. WTAE's Michelle Wright even got a Mary Poppins makeover: http://www.wtae.com/news/entertainment/WTAE-s-Michelle-Wright-transforms-into-Mary-Poppins/-/9680792/17048196/-/qsa5kkz/-/index.html

Cirque du Soleil's Saltimbanco
By Thursday, the Markowitz crew was flipping for Cirque du Soleil's Saltimbanco. From a morning with the Ringmaster on Pittsburgh Today Live to an afternoon greeting the media at an open rehearsal, it was a genuinely enchanting day.
