Smash Star Katharine McPhee Will Make Café Carlyle Debut – Katharine McPhee, the American Idol alum and star of NBC’s musical drama Smash, will make her Café Carlyle debut November 21–25.

It can get you into trouble or can bring you back on track. If you’re searching for love, it’s from a naïve and innocent place. The older you get, the wiser you are. It’s so beautiful.” – Read more at Playbill
