Oh wow, Sienna-Marie and Fanny are absolutely beautiful girls! Well they all are actually, but I hadn’t really seen much of those two before.

Beautiful family photos! Fanny is just the stunning image, I never thought of Hahn from Grey’s/ Catherine from ‘Silence of the Lambs’ to be a mother!

His daughter does not favor him at all, but looks exactly like the mom.

Is Kevin James the biological father, he does not look to be.

Cute little girl!

I recently heard/read that most Broadway theaters don’t let patrons under 4 (or 6?) attend shows, although they made an exception with The Little Mermaid for Suri Cruise. It looks like they’re continuing to make an exception for other celebs’ kids as well.

I wonder if TLM will continue to do that for other children, or just celebs’ kids? It could prove an idea, especially given how well child oriented live shows, such as Barney Live or Sesame Street Live or Disney On Ice (all traveling shows too), have historically sold well.

Autumn, this was a DVD launch in California, not Broadway..

Sienna-Marie is too cute! I would love to see Shea also. And can’t wait for Melora and the office to come back! She’s pregnant on the show remember!

Oops sorry about that! I guess I didn’t read the article closely enough and I’d forgotten about the DVD.

(I still think its strange they have release parties for animated DVDs. lol oh well…Was Jodi Benson & children actually there?)
