Julia & Rosie: Broadway's Sweethearts

Michael Riedel has a worthwhile piece here going further into the motivations behind stars like Julia Roberts venturing into Broadway. His account of the economics is especially illuminating, even if indirectly. (Julia's $35,000 a week may be slumming for her, but it's more than any true Broadway veteran will ever see.) He throws in Rosie O'Donnell's Fiddler appearance, too.
