'RAGTIME' CAST PARTIES
ON OPENING NIGHT
Three Leis For Crystal: Diamond Head Theatre's production of "Ragtime" opened big on Friday, and the cast celebrated afterward at Buca De Beppo. Crystal Williams wore several leis as she partied with Gemini Burke, left, Elitei Tatafu Jr., Douglas S. Scheer, center, and Daren Kimura. Williams, here from the mainland, has fallen in love with leis. Her favorite thus far? Plumeria.
Love Those Legs!: "Ragtime" musical director Melina Lillios, second from left, showed some leg with cast members Kirsten Dixon, left, Crystal Williams and Ghislaine Sopher-Phillips. Dixon, who plays Evelyn Nesbit, the show's big comic role, thoroughly researched the real Nesbit's scandalous life and times.
Heroes And Villains: "Ragtime" director/actor Mary Gutzi, front, celebrated with cast members Zenia Zambrano, left, Buz Tennent, Christopher Robb, Crystal Williams, Allison L.B. Maldonaldo, Matthew Pennaz, Sascha Lykes and Scott Moura. Willams is the beautiful heroine of the story, Robb plays the nastiest villain and Gutzi portrays real-life radical anarchist Emma Goldman.
