Now to today's show.

Don't tell me not to live just sit and pudder. Life's candy in the sun's a ball of butter.

Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade. Most people know Michael Yuri from his four seasons

of playing Mark St. James, caddy assistant to Vanessa Williams on the ABC hit show,

Ugly Betty. You might be surprised to learn that he's a classically trained graduate of

Juilliard's prestigious drama division. His off-Broadway credits include the temperamentals,

signature theaters revival of Angels in America, and an acclaimed production of the Cherry Orchard.

And last year, he made his Broadway debut as Bud Frump in How to Succeed a

business without really trying. He's also a producer and a director, and for the last year or so,

he's been at the helm of the wildly successful one-person play, Byer and Seller, currently

running at the Barrow Street Theater. And as you're about to hear, it's a play I had a very

positive reaction to.

Buyer and Sar is so damn good.

Maybe you can just tell us a bit about what you're about.
