Yesterday, I noticed a significant — and seemingly out of the blue — spike of new twitter followers. So, I did a little digging and discovered I’d been listed as “The Top 100 Theatre Tweeters You Must Follow on Twitter – 2011 Edition.”

Well, fancy!

I’m completely surprised and honored to be listed among notable theatre tweeters such as @BettyBuckley, @davidhenryhwang, @hesherman and @nytimestheater. I’m also pleased to join my friends @steveonbroadway, @gratuitousv and @kevinddaly. Sure, the list is one person’s opinion (@BroadwayGirlNYC), but it’s nice to be recognized.

So, if you’re on twitter and we’re not following each other, let’s change that!

Follow me now >>
